NAAS NOTES
By CABOLE McFERREN
Well ... I give up ... I didn’t
write' a column last week because |
t couldn’t scrounge up enough
Mws . . . and I’ll be darned if I’m
hot in the same fix this week.
Silt I decided I had better write]
a column before people started
abusing me of lying down on the
job. I have no idea what I’m go
ing to write about, so prepare
yourselves for anything. A few
bits of news though first . . .
The O’ Wives held their May
business meeting yesterday. A
Card Party followed. Mrs. Joan
Church and Mrs. Dorothy Nash >
were the hostesses.
Mrs. R. G. Leuder was the j
house guest of her daughter and;
son-in-law last week. She visit
ed with Captain and Mrs. Robert
Presson and makes her home in
Stewart, Florida.
Lt. and Mrs. Bud Parker have
recently moved into Albemarle
Courts from Windsor.
Major and Mrs. James Aynes
were the hosts at a dinner last |
week honoring Captain and Mrs. |
Warren Sherman. The other i
guests were Mr. and Mrs. W. D.!
Billings, Mrs. Fred Haines and

Lt. and Mrs. William Van Hook
With sons Michael and Mark.j
have returned from a week long
Visit in Ohio.

Havill was assisted by Mrs. Bob ‘
DO YOU KNOW
About Need For Foster Home Care?
Recently a little seven year old
girl walked into the office of a
eounty welfare department. She.
Was hungry; she was dirty; and all
she had on was a dress.
She said she had walked from
town but could give little informa
tion about her parents.
It took several hours for the so-1
cial worker to identify her. Then'
the worker took her and drove into j
her neighborhood. The child was'
correct; she had no home. Her mo-1
ther had left town two or three
years ago. Her father had been
arrested the morning of the day
the child walked into the welfare
department office. A neighbor had
told the child to go to the public
welfare department and that the
folks there would find her a hom°.
Several months before, an eight
year old boy ran into the welfare
department office begging for* a
home. He had on only an under
shirt, and apparently had walked
in this condition for seven blocks.
The caseworker found that the
'boy’s mother had deserted the fam
ily and that the father, who was
handicapped, was drinking steadily.
The child had become frightened
when the father became abusive
and had come to the welfare de
x partment for help.
These two children are examples

I From now on the writing be
comes completely a spur of the
moment thing. The first thing that
comes to my mind is the coming
election of Officers for the O’
Wives Club. The election will be
held at the June business meet
ing. Everyone be sure and turn
out so vou can cast your vote.
You know what I would love to
be? A television critic. Some
of the things I see, move me to
say a few words, both good and
bad. I never miss “Playhouse
90”, “Mr. Adams and Eve”, or
“To Tell the Truth.” I can do
without “Jackie Gleason,” “Hey,
Jeannie”, and “The Brothers.”
But everyone to their own opin
ion. Forgot to mention my i
“must” “Gunsmoke.” I think that
“Gunsmoke” is one of the most
generally popular TV shows. I
thought it was real interesting to
find out that the only reason
James Arness was cast in the role
of Matt Dillon, was because John
Wayne didn’t want to do a week
ly show.
Well, I guess I should quit for
now before I get carried away and
start expounding on all sorts of
tilings. Most of which I’m sure
you don’t care a farthing about. J
But every once in a while I get
the urge to really get going on]
this thing and say a few words
for the public . . . but after think
ing it over ... Bye . .
of the many types of distressing
situations which come to the at
tention of the child welfare work
ers in county departments across
North Carolina week after week.
A total of 2,272 children were re
ceiving foster home care in this
State in March 1957. State and
county funds are available for this
purpose and the foster home par
ents render a real service to chil
dren and the community.
Some children are placed in fos
ter homes, as these two neglected
children were, because of parental
neglect or abandonment. Other
children need foster home care be
cause of delinquency and have to
be removed from their homes for
their own and the community’s
protection. Still other children
are so handicapped physically or,
mentally that their mothers cannot
care for them along with their nor
mal brothers and sisters.
You're really “flying" when
you drive at excessive speeds
says the North Carolina Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles, because
a portion of your tires lose con
tact with the roadway. When
cars travel at speeds over 60
mph, centrifugal force develops
a “throw-out’ ’in the tires that
pulls them away from the pave
ment.

wrote, “Men do not
which they do not commit”
There is a man of my acquaint
ance who, by a set of circumstances
happened into a job which is far
above his training and abilities.
He uses many schemes to hide his
short-comings. One of his coit
stant complaints is that his co
workers are conniving against him;;
that they are trying to make him
“look bad”; that they are not
al to him. The faults be finds an
others are rooted in his own heart.
He sees their mirages where they
are not. Those who know him
know that he is pointing at him
self. ' ,

“Now,” said the man who was
paying the bills, “can you tell me
what this pantry room is for?”
“That will be a chart room, mot
a paptry," explained the architect.
“As long as your wife wants the
complete electric kitchen we have
to put a chart room next to it, so
she can refer to it when wanting
to push the right lever or turn the
right switch for roasting, toasting,
defrosting, grilling, canning, boil
ing, doing dishes and so on.”
