Repair Damag:ed Rug^s
I patch a damaged carpet, it is best to work from
the back side of the material if possible, says Sr.
Glenda Herman, extension housing specialist at
North Carolina State University.
Be sure the nap of the fibers of the patch is going
in the same direction as that of the carpet,” Dr
Herman advises.
Then stitch the new carpet piece in place. You can
also use a wide adhesive tape on the back side of the
rug for a tight, lasting joint.
Some adhesives are glued on. Dr. Herman notes,
while others require pressing with a warm iron.

“Let Me Grow Lovely,
Growing Old - So Many
Fine Things Do”...
Fourteen years ago. United Tri-County Senior
Citizens Inc. was organized in a dedicated effort to
serve the needs of the elderly in Craven, Pamlico and
Jones Counties. Though the principal function was to
serve a nutritious meal, equal importance is
concentrated in the encouragement of motivating
our Senior Citizens for the congregate meal,
fellowship and other activities, geared to full
otherwise lonely hours. Liberation from the
proverbial rocking chair to a more useful life for the
elderly, are the objective guidelines for United Tri-
County Senior Citizens, Inc.

has designated the month of May as Senior Citizens
Month and Mayor Paul M. Cox has declared May 21st
as Senior Citizens Day in the City of New Bern.
On this day. United Tri-County will observe their
14th Annual Founder’s Day, with a special program
beginning at 11:00 a. m. This event will take place at
their main office, the George Street Recreation
Center, in New Bern.

Two Announce Retirement
Two long-time Weyerhaeuser Company Wood
Products Division employees have announced their
intentions to take early retirement.
John S. Lilley and Roger M. Stewart, who have 66
years experience between them, will be leaving their
current positions and the company during the third
quarter. No successor has been named for either
man, and both have agreed to stay on to assist the
company during a transition period.
Lilley, a Plymouth area native, joined
Weyerhaeuser in 1950 as an employee of the N.C.
Pulp Company at Plymouth and had held numerous
production and supervisory positions related to
woodyard and Raw Material management. His most
recent assignment is Merchandiser Superintendent.
The merchandiser is technology which makes it
possible to direct each segment of a tree-length log to
its best use as lumber, plywood or pulp.
Stewart, currently Wood Treating Plant
Supervisor, joined the company in 1948 in
Washington state, held various positions in Sales,
Marketing, and Production Management both here
and on the West Coast. The Wood Treating Facility,
which Stewart manages, was built three years ago. It
treats lumber, plywood and siding with chromated
copper arsenate (CCA) for resistance to the elements
and recently expanded its capacity by 50%.
