CONTACT LENSES you k OKMOt THOMPSON g 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. Elizabeth City and Miss Hel en Evans of Manteo. 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.

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. W I'm Going - Me Von? ,TS *r*W i* -s. *. WAKE UP * t! * r m umm i!
