ARE YOU “REDDI?”
Workers in the North Caro
lina Extension Service get some
unusual telephone calls. The
most humerous received re
cently in the Stanly County of
fice was made by a youngster
eager to enroll in a 4-H
special interest meeting.
As the secretary, Mrs. Doris
Forte, answered the phone, she
heard a request to “speak to
“Reddi.” “Who?” she asked.
“Reddi,” the voice replied.
“I’m sorry,” the secretary re
plied, “but there’s no one here
by that name.”
A few seconds later the phone
rang again. The same voice
asked for “Reddi,” only this
time he explained he had re-*
ceived a letter about an elec
tric club. The card said to call
this number if he wanted to
know more about his friend
“Reddi Killowatt.”
Mrs. Forte enrolled the lad
in the 4-H electric club. Since
then he has attended his first
meeting and has gotten acquain
ted with “Reddi” through the
film “The Mighty Atom.”
bUMEONE CARES
It*s good to know someone
cares, homemakers from low
income families attending foods
and nutrition classes in Martin
County, observe.
The 18 women are enrolled
in a series of lessons that will
provide them training in
“What to Eat and Why,” “Meal
Planning,” “Selecting and Buy
ing Food,” and “Food Prepara
tion and Serving,”
In addition to the lecture
demonstrations they will at
tend, the women will tour groc
ery stores to get first-hand
information on meat selection
and economical buys.
“It’s learning by doing,” Mrs.
Vivian H. Morris, home eco
nomics Extension agent, notes.
ENCOURAGES INTEREST
IN HOME
“The 4-H project in home
management has encouraged
my daughters to take a great
er interest in their home, “Mrs.
Elvinna Holt, of the Rock Creek
Community, Alamance County,
points out.
As a result erf their project
work the girls are more con
cerned over how the house looks,
she added.
Mrs. Holt is employed out
side the home so it*s a grand
feeling for her to come home
and find family members shar
ing the homemaking duties, Mrs.
Ozetta P. Guye, home economics
Extension agent, says. “She
gives 4-H the credit for help
ing her daughters realize the
importance jf learning to be
good homemakers,*’ the agent
adds.
DREAM COME TRUE
The Bluford Thompson fam
ily, Mebane, Rt. 2, is counting
the days until they can move into
their new four-bedroom house,
reports Mrs. Bonnie B. Davis,
home economics Extension
agent, Orange County.
With several children be
tween ages three and fifteen,
the Thompsons chose Exten
sion Plan 71 for their new house.
It features a spacious family
room, two baths, a sizable
utility room and four bedrooms,
the agent notes.
The Thompsons are looking
forward to the comfortable and
convenient living their new home
will offer. In fact, Mrs. Thomp
son calls it her “dream come
true.”
Any Tar Heel family can get
help from Extension agents and
specialists about housing, Mrs.
Davis adds.
CONTROL SPENDING
Planning family spending is
important in reaching family
goals. That’s the advice of the
H. E„ Davis family, the Esk
ridge Grove community, Cleve
land County.
According to Thelma E. Mc
Vea, home economics Exten
sion agent, the family purchased
land and built a house three
years ago.
The money they owe on this
housing investment added to the
current living costs for the
family, . apd forced the pavi*
to take a careful look at” where <
“Record keeping and makii^
a spending plan are a must,”
Mrs. Davis says. “Our living
expenses are high and our chil
dren’s needs are many. We just
have to know where our money
is going.”
People may sometimes be
pests, but they can be reck
oned with. Bugs, weeds and
plant diseases must be dealt
with correctly—read and heed
the label carefully.

Letters To The Editor
Says Opportunity
For All Is Needed
Dear Editor:
Jesus told of this rich man,
who ate sumptuously everyday,
and of this poor man who lay
at his gate, who desired to be fed
with what fell from the rich
man’s table. When he died and
was gone to hell, the rich man
lifted his eyes and saw Lazar
us in the bosom of Abraham,
and he called out,4 ‘Father Abra
ham, send Lazarus, that he may
dip the tip of his finger in water
and cool my tongue.” (See Luke
16:19-31.)
In the Watauga Democrat of
May 16 it was reported that
the great majority of Wataugans
have incomes above what they
need for subsistence. In an edi
torial on the same day was point
ed out the foolishness of some
who were concerned about the
minority.
Do-gooders, particularly out
siders, can be awfully foolish.
But it is a fact that not every one
in this county was given by his
parents the land, the education,
or the example to follow so that
he could be right now with that
great majority who are doing
well.
according to Jesus it is worse
than foolish to ignore this fact.
The great majority at us who
are blessed with more than
enough must be sure that we are
not stepping on the hands of the
folks that would grab hold of the
ladder below us. (We are not
talking about giving anyone our
crumbs—no one around here
needs those—just our respon
sibility in this rich land to see
that there be opportunity for all.)
The rich man. when he saw
that there was no hope for him
self. asked that some one be
sent to warn his five brothers.
Abraham said, “They have
Moses and the prophets; let
them hear them.” He who has
ears, let him hear.

Says Mass Picketing
Older Than Republic
To the Watauga Democrat:
History is repeating itself.
Immediately after the Civil War,
a number of Negroes met their
Waterloo in their efforts to
seise the United States Govern
ment. which as we all know was
a dire failure.
Personal mass pickets
is older than our Republic. In
Boston before the Revolution,
Samuel Adams had such control
over various mobs as to intimi
date Tories and royal officials.
In 1783, just after peace had
been made with England, the
Congress of the Confederation
was driven from Philadelphia
by threats of mutinous troops
demanding overdue back pay.
In 1894 Jacob Coxey, the
leader of the much publicized
“Coxy’s Army” marched into
Washington, demanding loans,
for States, Counties and Munici
palities, which would provide
employment to relieve the lor«
depression of the 1890's. Coxey
and his army of 5000 were driv
en off the Capital grounds by the
Virginia and Maryland militia.
Should he return, he would no
doubt be nleasrvl tn coo tKat ui
Meals finally caught on, but
would feel discriminated against
to learn that we still have a
militia but will not use it.
1917 brought on some viol
ence by suffragists picketir*
the White House. CatherineFla
gan, reported seeing a cop club
six sailors and Virginia Ar
nold s hands and arms showed
signs of extreme violence. I
would suspect that the ladies’ of
the nation say that that was a
small price to pay for Woman
Suffrage. And I would agree.
In 1932 The Bonus Expedi
tionary Forces marched into
our Capital under Walter W.
Waters, only to be driven out
and their camps destroyed, by
Federal Troops; on orders by
President Herbert Hoover. We
had Federal troops then and
I'm glad to say not afraid to
use them.
This is May 1968 which brings
another group converging upon
aur Capital, demanding bet
ter schools, two million guar
anteed jobs, housing, nutrition
and a guaranteed annual sin
tome. This demonstration la
expected to begin Tuesday May
21. ..1,ibudder to think, of the'
ultimate results. I prefer watch

“Something Beyond
Control Is Coming”
Dear Sir:
Mrs. Key, in her letter to the
Democrat, is to be commended
for her concern about the racist
opinions expressed by Ameri
cans. America is built on rac
ism, beginning with the crime of
genocide against the Indian, the
enslavement of the Negro, and
continuing with the murder of
thousands erf Vietnamese.
The white middle-class
American, being by nature a
devoted coward, except when in
a lynch mob, or in the uniform
of his country, does not consider
himself a bad fellow at all. He
really believes that the Indians
were herded into reservations
^concentration camps) for their
own good, and that the simple
minded “darkies” were happy
under slavery. Today, our coun
try's gangster aggression in
Vietnam is supported by many
people who really believe that
we can stop communism by
burning women and children with
gasoline.
Something is being done, Mrs.
Key. All across this land people
like you are beginning to see the
truth. Our leaders stand exposed
by their own lies and trickery.
The so-called Christian church
has become a ridiculous joke,
the colored boy has become a
Black Man, and young men are
refusing to become instruments
erf evil. Those who support our
corrupt government are afraid
because something beyond their
control is coming soon.
Sincerely,
G. E. HART, JR.
