Congressman Broyhill
Honored In Salisbury
Salisbury —C ongressmar
James T. Broyhill was named
the first honorary citizen of
Rowan County at an appreciation
dinner given in his honor at the
College-Community CentreSat
urday night.
The dinner was given by the
Rowan County Republican Party.
In the new congressional district
line-up, Broyhill will no longer
represent Rowan County. He
has been Rowan’s representa
tive to the U.S. Congress since
he was first elected to Congress
in 1962. Broyhill carried tra
ditionally Democratic Rowan
County by 10,000 votes in 1966
as the Rebublicans made a com
plete sweep.
Both Democrats and Repub
licans appeared on the program
and various speakers paid tri
bute to his holding office hours
in every area of Rowan County
during Christmas and Easter
vacations rather than his takii^
a family vacation.
Among the Democrats ap
pearing on the program were
Salisbury Mayor Paul Bern
hardt, China Grove Mayor Gil
bert Mesimer, Salisbury City
Councilman O. K. Beatty, the
Rev. Harlee Little of Living

Modern Living Increases
Demand For Appliances
Kaleigh—Today’s modern
living increases the demand for
household appliances to relieve
time and energy expended for
everyday tasks and chores
around the home.
Appliances can help do work,
increase comfort, saye timQ&nd
maintain appearances,
“However,” reminds Mrs.
Justine J. Rozier, extension
home management specialist,
North Carolina State Uni
versity,” unless anapplianceis
chosen carefully with the user’s
needs in mind, it can be more
of a nuisance than a help.
There are some important
questions to be asked and an
swered even before shopping for
an appliance, the specialist be
lieves. They include:
Will this appliance really be
used or is to wanted only be
cause “everyone else” has one?
Will the new appliance be used
frequently and to best advantage
or will it be used for just a
once or twice a year job?
Is there something else in
the house that is already doing
the job more satisfactory than
WHO CONDUCTS
THE LARGEST SURVEY
Television programmers?
Politicians? Independent survey
organizations?
Actually none of these is
correct, and the right answer
may come as a surprise. The
largest survey undertaken on
c .'ontinuing basis is the Bell
System’s Service Attitude Mea
surement Program—SAM for
short.
Sam is new in Boone, be
ginning in July according to
B. B. Leazer Southern Bell’s
local manager here. The spread
at this service evaluation
technique has been gradual
throughout the United States
since 1964. AH 23 Bell System
companies have adopted the
survey.
SAM will let the people at
Southern Bell know, for ex
ample, if subscribers have
trouble finding telephone booths;
what their experience has been
with local and long distance
calling; and whether the man who
installed their phone last was
neat and polite.
SAM questionnaires are
mailed to around 6,000 tele
phone subscribers selected at
random in North Carolina each
month. Leazer says that frank
answers and comments will be
i*ed to focus efforts to evaluate
and improve telephone service.

the new appliance will?
Is there a “place” to keep
this appliance where it will be
easy and convenient to use?
Counter space in most houses
is limited.
J^Are all the extra gadgets,
buttons and .accessories rjec-.
or will a more “stand- '
ard” model serve needs as well?
A standard model is usually less
expensive to buy, repair and
frequently costs less to operate.
Could this money be used to
better advantage for somethin
else?
Will cash or credit be used
for purchase? A cash purchase
will cost less but may not be
possible. Shop around for credit.
Compare costs.
Safety should be another im
portant consideration in pur
chasing appliances, as well as
in proper use and care. Acci
dents are most likely to happen
when home appliances are not
selected wisely, are installed
improperly, are not used ac
cording to directions or are
not repaired when necessary.

Rowan Chamber of Commerce.
Among Repbulicans speaking
were Jack Stickley of Charlotte,
former president of Lions Inter
national and defeated GOP can
didate for governor; and Don
Garren, candidate for lieutenant
governor.
A scrapbook of letters of
appreciation of all sizes and
descriptions was presented to
Congressman Broyhill by Miss
Moffett Swaim of Salisbury. She
also read an original poem about
Broyhill.
A plaque was presented him
from the Rowan County Repub
lican Executive Committee by
Mrs. Sam Troxell, co-chairman
of the dinner. Mrs. Lloyd H.
Robertson Jr. presented an em~
broidered framed liberty bell
and flag. Mrs. Robertson was
the co-chairman of the event,
along with Mrs. Troxell.
Republican Party chairman
Phil Kirk of Salisbury was mas
ter of ceremonies and intro
duced guests from Cabarrus,
Rowan, Mecklenburg, Stanly,
Iredell, Caldwell and other
counties. Local Republican of
ficeholders and candidates were
also introduced. Mrs. John Isen
hour Jr., vice-chairman of the
Rowan County Republicans, gave
the welcome to the $5-a-plate
dinner. Norde Wilson, presi
dent of the Rowan Young Repub
licans, led the pledge of alle
giance and State Rep. Samuel
A. Troxell led the invocation.
Broyhill told the group he
regretted losing Rowan County
from his district “because of
all the warm, lasting friend
ships which Louise and I have
made. We shall never forget
you,” he said.
A resolution, enforcing Broy
hilPs designation as an honorary
Rowan Countian, was entered
into the record by the Rowan
county Commissioners.

AN HONEST MAN
Rochester—Richard Palami
tia found a small fortune when
he went into a bank to cash
his pay check. The first was
a wallet containing $2,500 and
the other was a money bag con
taining $20,000. He learned of
the amounts after turning both
over to a teller unopened.
SOVIET BIRTH RATE LOW
Moscow—A social econo
mist, V. Perevedentsev, stated
in a report that the Soviet birth
rate was declining and that by
the 1970’s the country faces the
prospect of a static population.
This, he said, would create a
smaller work force.
For the future, a robot tore

equipment so he can keep a
watchful eye on the plant’s op
eration from the lab house.
Every two weeks tests will
be run to determine suchthings
as bacteria content of the water,
and the ph of the water and
sludge. These tests yield in
formation as to dosage of chem
icals for purification. Tests are
also run to see if state stan
dards for this plant are main
tained.
Bullard said that a staff of
four can easily operate the plant
but that two would staff it for
awhile. The plant does not need
direct supervision at night as
the largest waste flows are
between 7 and 8 a. m. and 6
and 7 p. m.
“The biggest thing is to keep
things clean and in neat order,”
Bullard said.
Bullard said that the plant
has been designed for 10 years
of service. Provisions have been
made for the future addition of
trickling filters, detention tanks
and digesters. He added that the
present facility is only “half a
plant,” meaning that the fa
cilities can be doubled.
Work on the plant was be
gun in January, 1967, but se
vere weather delayed comple
tion. Bullard said that a time
extension was obtained and
deadline for beginning operation
was set at Aug. 29. However,
the changeover from the old
system was made Thursday,
a week ahead of schedule.
Bullard mentioned that sev

TEST PRESSURE CANNERS
The pressure canner testing
station in Graham is a safety
precaution for Alamance Coun
ty homemakers who own pres
sure canners, says Mrs. Rachel
K. Kinlaw, home economics Ex
tension agent.
Members of Extension Home
makers Clubs are cooperating
in gathering up the canners in
their neighborhood and bringing
them to the testing station. Also,
these women are telling their
friends and neighbors about the
service.
Some of the canners tested
were 20 and 25 years old, and
still in tpp condition. Others
needed a new gauge or gasket.
In addition to the testing ser
vice, the Extension agents have
a pressure canner they can
loan to homemakers wishing
to conserve vegetables.
One homemaker, used that
canner to process 63 quarts
of string beans for her family,
Mrs. Kinlaw notes.
