IRONING’S OUT ...PRESSING’S IN Every season fashions seem !k> change, and many new 'Trends are not really innova tions but echoes of the past. Take spring and summer 70's fashions, for instance, that hark back to the 30's. The new line is a softer, body-dinging line. It may even ' seem somewhat familiar if you're a devotee of movies of the 30’s on TV. The fabrics of these fashions are different, too. They're still the wonderful man-made fab rics with all their ease of up keep, but they're jersey, crepe, clinging voile and chiffon. So even how we take care of our fashion changes. Ironing is out. . pressing is in. In, too, is a good iron with a wide range of fabric controls, and a pressing and ironing aid like Magic sizing. Magic sizing restores the like-new look and feel to all washables, without adding scratchy stiffness. What is the difference be tween ironing and pressing? Pressing is a more delicate ““-process than ironing. It re quires a gentle hand and an up-and-down motion. In press ing you raise and lower the iron as you move across the fabric to keep the grain in its • ) original position. Pushing the iron, as you do in ironing, may Foy L Farless Dies In Ahoskie Foy Elwell Farless, 80, Route 1, Merry Hill, died Monday in Roanoke - Chowan Hospital in Ahoskie.

And in the new body-dinging fashions where both line and fit depend on bias seaming, this can ruin a garment. Sizing offers many advan tages when you press. Magic sizing is the special ironing and pressing aid that was created especially to help care for man-made fabrics and unlike starch leaves no messy build up on your iron or clothes to cause scorching or yellowing. And you can use Magic siz ing without a press cloth. This is a big help when you're press ing a garment . with intricate seaming. You can gently nose the point qf your iron right to the seam, whether it's a straight, curved or corner seam, and see what ycui'te doing every minute. The press ing-plus-sizing helps retain the original lines of a dress, and at the same time adds a like new body and finish. When you start adding the longer, clinging lines to your wardrobe, remember, nothing but the lines say "the thirties" ... the fabrics are all modern, man-made and marvelous to wear, and to take care of, and with Magic sizing to help, the pressing is done quickly and easily. less of Merry Hill end Wil liam Farless of Edenton, and two sisters, Mrs. Blonnie F.

(Photo by Perk Bingham). Student Ready To Live On Sea Floor In Project By NANCY DUCKETT When a North Carolina marine technology student 1 lives on the bottom of the sea 1 for 30 days later this sum mer, he will be a vital part 1 of an exerting seven-month venture called Tektite II that is taking place in the Virgin Islands. Todd Atkinson of Newton . and Cary, a marine technol ogy student at Cape Pear j Technical Institute, will be on | a team of four scientists and j one engineer who will live in a habitat on the ocean’s floor where underwater research is taking, place. His job will be habitat engineer and backup diver for the four scientists. Also participating in the overall Tektite II project are about 100 of Atkinson’s class mates, several instructors, two of the institute’s training vessels and the ships’ crews. The two vessels are the only ones participating in the project, which began in April and will run through Oc tober. This learning experience was made possible for the Cape Fear Tech students through a $128,400 sea grant from the National Science Foundation to go towards the operation of the institute’s oceanographic research ves sel, Advance 11. Also, the institute has a , $70,000 contract with NSF to operate the vessel Undaunted 'in its involvement in Tektite 11, according to M. J. McLeod, technical institute president. The project is a coopera tive effort among government agencies, private industry and educational institutions under the leadership of the Depart ment of Interior. Also parti cipating are the National Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration, National Science Foundation, government of the Virgin Islands, Depart ment of Navy, Smithsonian Institution, U. S. Coast Guard, ; Department of Health, Edu- ; .cation and Welfare and the ' General Electric Company. THIS IS THE LAW By ROBERT E. LEE For tha N. C. Bor AnocUOoa LAW DAY May 1 has by presidential proclamation become Law Day U. S. A. R is a day for reaffirming our faith in the traditional American respect for law and order. ■ In recent years, as is .well known, there has been an in crease in crime and a rising disrespect for law enforce ment personnel. Half the people for reasons of safety stay off the streets at night and more than a third of the people keep fire arms or dogs for protection. A disrespect or disregard < for law is always the first sign of a disintegrating soci ety. H law to be replaced : by force in America during our time? ’■ A number of persons, most < of whom are young, intelli- : lent or idealistic, have been < naught up in a wave of in- i cfignation about problems in oodero society. This ha ß led ( tragic consequences tor the i ’baervance of law and order, i A strong moral conviction is not a sufficient reason tori The project not only in volves underwater research, J but it is concerned with an ■ oceanographic survey of the 1 Virgin Islands. During the project, teams of top-flight scientists and engineers from over the nation are exploring ’ inner space as some live up 1 to a month at a time in one of two habitats on the ocean’s floor. Ten of these missions are at 50 feet and seven at 100 feet. The larger habitat has four chambers while the “minitat” has two. The vessel Undaunt ed is serving as the smaller habitat’s support ship, and it is also being used for a lab oratory. According to Tektite ll’s di rector of public affairs, as the scientists conduct their under sea research, they are being i observed via closed - circuit j communications by behavioral: and biomedical teams on the ■ surface. The observations: will contribute to man’s! knowledge of the psycholog- j ical and physiological factors' associated with missions per-1 formed in an isolated envir-1 onment common to manned undersea and space missions. . While the aquanauts are at | work in their pressurized j home, oceanographic research and training are being con ducted on the Advance 11. i Trainees are working aboard' ship in support of actual re search and engineering pro grams conducted by senior scientists and engineers from cooperating organizations. The versartility in Tektite II allows the students to keep up with their classwork at the Wilmington based techni cal institute while they are “doing their thing where the action is.” This is done by rotation. Every two weeks a group of students is flown to the project site in a Delaware National Guard aircraft, and another group is immediately returned to Wilmington. The instructors also are taking their turns participating in the project breaking the > law. Suppose every group or individual who honestly believed be had a valid and righteous cause did the same thing? Chaos would result. The rights and freedoms of one person must end where the rights and freedoms of an other person begin. Unfortunately there arc a few on bur university cam puses and in our church pul pits who have attempted to sanctify and give respectabil ity to ideological crusades in opposition to democratic values and the principles of free government There is an air of self righteousness about many of these moral movements that seem to have a passion to de stroy—our government, our democratic values our way of life. They criticize, belittle, and mock our contemporary society, which is contemptu ously called the “Establish ment.” Though disliking our soci ety, many of these moral wifWfM»—offer con s tractive hi return. Their' aim is to destroy, not to ■build. | Report From Washington By Rep. Walter B. Jones The House spent the major part of the week ending July 17 debating the Legislative Reorganization Act without completing final action. Thi bill will reorganize the le- - islative procedures in the House of Representatives. T will report on the details in a later column .-if ;r the bill has received fir l action. Among other action this week was the important mat ter of adopting conference reports between the House and Senate versions of previ ously approved legislation. Among these reports was one providing appropriations for fiscal 1971 for secondary and higher education. The total amount of the conferees re port was $4.4 billion. Os par ticular interest to most of the First District was the ap proval of funds for impacted areas, which are as follows: One hundred per cent of entitlement for category “a” children in hardship school districts where they repre sent more than 25 per cent of total enrollment; 90 per cent entitlement for all other “a” children; 65 per cent of en titlement for “b” children. In connection with the edu cation bill, for the last three or four years, I have reported the House approval of the Whitten Amendment, but each' time the Senate refused to agree with the language. But the approval of the con ference report by both the House and Senate contains the following language: “No part of the funds con tained in this act may be used to force any school or school district which is de segrated as that term is de fined in Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, to take any action to force the busing of students; to force on ac count of race, creed or color the abolishment of any school so desegrated; or to force the transfer or assignment of any student attending any ele mentary or secondary school so desegrated to or from a particular school over the protest of his or her parents or parent.

I am sure the majority of members of Cpn gress hope that this will be a mandate to HEW and the fed eral courts to stop using edu-_ eational funds to solve social problems and get on with the Two To Attend Forestry Camp Over 100 North Carolina high school boys enrolled in vocational agriculture have been chosen for week-long forestry camp awards by the Southern Forest Institute and the State Forestry Service. The award is an expense ! paid week at Mitchell 4-H j Camp near Swansboro in Ons low County, July 26-August I 1. C. L. Keels, FFA State Advisor for the N. C. Depart ment of Public Instruction, is planning coordinator for the camp. Chosen to attend from Cho wan County are Jeff Cope land and Jimmy Evans. Keels said that activities for the week will combine edu cation in the area of forestry with organized recreation, in struction will be provided by professional foresters and will include many types of out side activities, he said. All those chosen for the award are members of the Future Farmers of America with an interest in forestry. R prime responsibility of pro viding the bes; possible edu cation for the children, of all races. ■Last week in Washington a great amount of interest was displayed concerning the tear ing down of a temporary building constructed in 1918, for which ceremonies, flags and bands were conducted prior to the beginning of the dismantling. The amazing fact about it all was that it was a “temporary building,” the cost of which was 29 cents per cubic foot for con struction in 1918 as compared with the present day price of similar construction at $lO per cubic foot. to oßememhei JTjJ By MARVIN BARHAM We were reading about the Seven Wonders of the World. Os all these great and wonderful things —only the remains of one, the pyramids of Egypt, are standing. ,; r After a description of each, these words appear. Destroyed in wars, or no trace remains. I wonder how wonderful they were to have gone the way of time—and no longer exist on the face of the earth. There are many wonders of the world that exist day after day. Those wonders are love, dedication, concern, loyalty and a hundred other acts that are performed by men. Instead of diminishing—these grow and make life wonderful for others. OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: Give last ing qualities to others—these only remain. Colonial Funeral Home Edenton, North Carolina PAGE FIVE Presidential Vote Mr. Keeler said that in 1972 over 12 million people will vote, for president for the first time ’ By 1980, 40 per cent of the. electorate will be under 3 ( 5. These figures will drop even lower if 18-year-olds are per mitted to vote. Comparing today’s political climate to that of the late 1800’s when farmers, young 1 people, laborers and others who" wanted more voice in govern-: ment banded together in the: Populist movement, he asserted that today’s “New Politics”- ia a politics of involvement by more people, more deeply con cerned about issues and more committed to their solutions. .* "Business has two in this day of the New Poli tics,” he said. “We can stand on the sidelines ... or we can' become an integral part of the most exciting and fruitful period in our history so far as the relationship between the£: people and their government is,; concerned.” —A
