licious luncheon was served.

HAPPY BLINKING!
Are you a blinker? If you're
,not. you’re a most unusual
person, indeed.
Eye specialists say that all
of us spend a good |>ortion of
our waking hours in tem|>orary
darkness because we are prone
to unconscious blinking. If we
didn’t blink we’d be in real
trouble, officials of the Barnes-
Hind Opthalmic Products
Company insist.
Blinking is Mother Nature’s
own prescription for keeping
the eyes moist and healthy. If
you don’t keep your contact
lens clean and clear from par
ticles or foreign matter, seri
ous eye infection may result.

Mrs. Nell Rae spoke on
critical analysis of values,
“A Comparison of Our Value
Patterns With Those of Other
Cultures—Latin America.”
The Latin America coun
tries, Mexico, Central America
and South America, all but
two speak Spanish. Their
knowledge, beliefs, arts, sup
erstitions, religion, came from
Spain and Portugal. Cuba is
a good example of what is
happening in Latin America
today. Yet the United States
has had a great influence on
these countries.
A good illustration is Pana
ma Canal. Os the 250 million
people, 50 per cent, are illit
erate, in some places as low
as 15 per cent. Thirty per
cent will die before they are
40 years of age. Tartillas
beans are some of their fav
orite foods. 'Progress in gov
ernment will have to improve
before Latin American coun
tries can compete with the
rapidity of the world. Some
sections have raised equality,
some ability and education,
some have thriving middle
class. Greatest trade is be
tween 'Latin America and the
United States.
Social Security
Questions-Answers
Q. How about the
of the disabled worker? 'Can
they draw benefits, too?
A. Yes, the family of a
worker receiving disability
benefits can receive, just as
the family of a retired work
er. These family members
include unmarried children
under age 18, children 18
through 21 if they are unmar
ried and attending school full
time, or unmarried children
18 or older if they were dis
abled before reaching age 18
and continue tc. be disabled.
Benefits are payable to the
wife who has an eligible
child with her or if she is
age 62 or older.
Q. Is there any way that
a farmer like me who oper
ated at a loss in 1089 can
get any social security credit
for the year?
A. Yes, sir. In general a
farmer who lost money—or
who did not have a net pro
fit of at least S4O0 —may file
an income tax return using
the optional method and
claim two-thirds of his gross
farm income, but not more
than $1,600, as his self-em
ployment income for social
security purposes.
Q. I was 65 on last May
12. I decided that I couldn’t
afford to pay $4.00 a month
for the supplementary part of
Medicare, so I didn’t sign up
for it. After learning of the
experiences of some of my
friends, I have decided that
I would like to sign up for
supplementary Medicare. Am
I too late?
A. No. You can sign up
during one of three months—
January, February or March,
1970. However, your insur
ance will not be effective
| until July, 1970.

Garden Time
By M. E. GARDNER
Dept, et Hortlceltaral Science
N. C. Bt>te ITadversity
As a result of a long and
intensive breeding program
with muscadine grapes, we
are releasing another variety
which has been named Carlas.
The name Carlos is in
honor of the late Prof. Carlos
Frost Williams, who headed
cur grape and bramble breed
ing program for many years
before his retirement in 1961.
Prof. Williams made the
cross in 1951 and the selec
tion in 1954. Since his re
tirement, Dr. William Nesbitt
and Prof. Harvey Underwood
have led the program.
Carlos is rated as superior
to other varieties when all
aspects of production, har
vesting and processing are
considered. It appears to be
the nearest thing to Scupper
nong, which has been popu
lar through the years. How
ever, Carlos is self-fruitful,
while Scuppernong is self
unfruitful. The two varieties,
planted together, will give a
fruitful combination as Carles
serves as a source of com
patible pollen for the self
unfruitful Scuppernong.
Carlos is more suitable for
mechanical harvesting as the
fruit ripens uniformly and
hangs well on the vine until
ripe. The berries will aver
age about one-half inch in
diameter and have a flavor
similar to Scuppernong. The
color is bronze.
Tests, over a three-year
period, have given an excel
1e n t quality Scuppernong
type wine which is rated as
good as, or better than, wines
made from either Magnolir or
Scuppernong, which are con
sidered the standards of ex
cellence in Muscadine wines.
The fruit ripens in mid
season, with Scuppernong, and
the variety has been a con
sistently high producer. The
vines are winter - hardy in
North Carolina, with less
than 30 per cent of the lateral
buds killed during periods of
severely low temperatures.
Carlos has produced well
without a pest control pro
gram. The variety has shown
intermediate resistance to
bitter rot, angular leaf spot
and powdery mildew. It is
moderately susceptible to
black rot but little or no
damage has occurred on the
fruit.
While this variety has pro
duced well without a pest
control program, both yield
and fruit quality are improv
ed by following a disease and
insect control program under
commercial conditions.
Plants will be available
from a selected group of
nurserymen in the fall of
1970.
