there is to be the seventh
“covered dish supper.” If
you’ve been to any of these,
you won’t need to be coaxed.
If you haven’t, hustle together
a favorite dish of food, that’s
all. Place a cover on it and
bring it along. The rest is
pure fellowship and whole
some fun v
Third. A “special” class
meeting is called for Tuesday
evening, September 19, at
7:30 to elect officers for the
Sunday School. The nomin
ating committee includes Mrs.
Willie N. Waters, chairman;
Gus H. Perry and Watson V.
"COUNTY FAIR" FELLOWSHIP
—Pictured above are scenes of fun
and frolic at an after-the-game so
cial with a “county fair” theme
held Friday night in the Fellowship
Hall of Edenton Baptist Church.

music/youth at the church, who
was in charge of the affair.

GLANCING BACK
For nearly two years Rev.
Glenn E. Bunch, Jr., .has been
a guiding light and once a
month guest minister. He is
now In his final year of
studies at Southeastern Bap
tist Seminary at Wake For
est. It is with two-sided re
gret that he will be unable to
preach on the usual schedule
at Bandon Chapel. However,-
he does promise to visit
whenever possible. Under
standably, he must be free to
accept a full-time pastorate.
May the chapel’s loss be his
gain!
In his opening remarks to
the adult class on Sunday
morning, Superintendent Al
fred J. Church called upon
everyone to pray for the ath
letes in Munich, asking for
deliverance from such evil
tragedy, at any place, at any
time. si
lliness-demands
tions call leaders as well as
followers, even in churches.
So, again, Bandon Chapel
was grateful for the assist
ance of Mrs. Percy Nixon cf
the pulpit committee, for
bringing Lindsay Ray Bunch
to teach the 9:45 A. M. adult
class, and Miss Dolores F.
Fulcher for her spirited or
gan music. These are both
local young folk, active in
Rocky Hock Baptist Church.
The chapel is, of course, in
terdenominational and owes
many blessings to area
churches of various denomin
ations.
POULTRY GROWTH
The value of North Caro
lina-produced poultry has ris
en at a rapid clip in the last
decade, amounting ,to over
$356 million last year. The
growth is expected to con
tinue for several years to
come, according to the plan
ners of the “Impact ’76 Pro
gram,” a five-year projection
of development for the Tar
Heel state launched this year
by N. C. Agricultural Exten
sion Service. N. C. State
University extension planners,
with assistance from Tar Heel
citizens in all phases of the
poultry industry forecast an
income from poultry by 1976
of nearly a half billion dol
lars. The specific goal is
$490 million.

One-Fifth of All Employees
Are on Government Payroll
One out of every five em
ployed people works for the
government, according to a
study just issued by the Tax
Foundation, Inc.
Averageknnual earnings of
government employees, the
Tax Foundation reports, has
risen from $4,859 in 1961 to
$7,965 in 1970. This 64 per
cent increase compares with
a 53 per cent increase in pri
vate industry during the same
period. The private industry
employee average pay in 1961
wa*4&Bß9 and in 1971 it was
$7,462. ~"
The title of the new Tax
Foundation study is "Unions
and Government Employ
ment.” It found that fed
eral civilian employees are in
the best position of all. Their
average annual earnings rose
from $6,274 in 1961 to $10,597
in 1971.
Strikes Increase
The study also found that
there were ten times as many
strikes by government Work-
High Cost of Defense
Since World War II the
gross national product of the
United States has been sls
trillion and $1.3 trillion of
this has been spent on de
fense, according to the U.S.
State Department. Russia
has had $4 trillion gross na
tional product in this same
period and has spent an esti
mated $1 trillion on defense.

What’s In a Name ?
Industrial robots -have a
pew name. Now they will be
called programmable manipu
lators and transfer machines.
AMF Versatran Division
of Warren, Mich, produces
equipment for highly “auto
mated plants which they have,
been calling “robots” after
the Slavic “robotnik” qr
worker capable of .pnly sim ;
pie, unskilled work.
However, the company has
decided that it is not correct
to characterize their ma
chines as equiva
lents of human workers, since
they cannot think or reason.
Instead, their products are
simply production machines,
says the company, and are
used only to improve the pro
duction of better products at
lower costs.
Lincoln knows
The Tire Industry Safety
Council says that a good way
to demonstrate the impor
tance of tire safety is to have
the students take ‘the Penny
Test’. Simply take a Lincoln
head penny and insert it into
the tread groove. If the top
of Lincoln’s head shows in
two or more adjacent grooves,
the tires have worn to the
danger point.

Next Is Ttjrler Theatre
to be held at the Elizabeth
City Armory on September
22, 23 and 24. The show,
sponsored by the Elizabeth
ers in 1970 as there were ten
years earlier. The number of
strikes by unionized workers
in Federal, state, and local
governments rose from 36 in
1960 to 412 in 1970.
Less than a third of gov
ernment workers are organ
ized into unions or employee
associations, but the Tax
Foundation says the number
is growing rapidly. “The mili
tancy of these unions is a
factor in the sharp rise of
government payrolls to sllO
billion,” according to Alfred
Parker, executive director of
the Foundation. ,
The Public Pays
Government employers
have tended to be “inexperi
enced and therefore some
what inept,” the study said,
and this was one reason for
high wage settlements. It said
that anti-strike laws have had
about as “much effectiveness
as a paper fence.”
Instead, the Foundation
suggested that government
should make its own demands
and take a careful look at
work rules to improve effi
ciency.
“When salary increases and
benefits are warranted by
legitimate services and
skills,” the Foundation said,
“they should be granted
cheerfully and with good
grace. But to throw public
money away through inepti
tude or indifference makes no
sense at all.”

The loss of young people by out-migration from rural
farm areas has been one of the signs of the times. But it
j might not continue if there were more dairy farms,
j Judging from an apparent trend in some areas of North
j Carolina, dairies seem to offer the maturing young.people
| the opportunity to stay on the farm and earn what is
j commonly called a “decent living.”
W. E. Mainous, Yadkin County agricultural extension
: agent, cited recent examples in his county of sons joining
I their fathers in the dairy business.
; “We have had four young men to join their fathers as
partners in the business,” Mainous pointed out. “And we
have had one young man to enter the diary business as a
new producer.”
The partnerships and the new producer indicate that
here are at least five young adults in one county who see a
future for themselves on the farm. This is bucking a strong
state and national trend of long duration.
One of the reasons dairy farming might seem to be
attractive enough to keep young people on the farm is the
economic outlook. Mainous explained that, “Increased
income from dairying and increases in number of cows oh
Grade A farms are expected over the next five years.”
Although the number of dairy farms has dropped over
the past few years, this trend is slowing. At the same time,
individual farm size is growing. In Mainous’ words,
“Expansion of existing facilities is taking place rapidly.
“One of the challenges individual farmers face during
periods of expansion is that they must be better managers.
Expansion means large expenditures and larger loan
repayments,” Mainous explained.
Dairy fanners in the 1970’s can’t afford to be just milk
producers. They have to be businessmen first.
Despite all criticisms, tobacco production means much
to the agricultural and industrial economies of North
Carolina, and a small group of Martin County 4-H members
has started an educational campaign to point out its
importance. Using exhibits, posters, newspapers and radio
stations, they are “spreading the word” about the role of
tobacco.
Here are some things they are pointing out.
Tobacco is the No. 1 crop in North Carolina with more
than half of the farmers’ cash crop income or about a third
of the total farm income coming from tobacco.
North Carolina leads the nation in the number of pounds
of tobacco produced. Tobacco is grown in 90 of the state’s
100 counties.
The taxes at all levels - federal, state and local -
amount to more than four times what the tobacco farmer
receives for producing the tobacco crop.
Through the educational campaign, the 441 members
and local residents have learned that mlny North
Carolinians are dependent on tobacco, such as fertilizer,
seed, pesticide, herbicide and machinery dealers, bankers,
ware house men, farmers, cigarette plant employees,
truckers, retailers and many more. Actually, every Tarheel
citizen benefits from taxes generated by tobacco, if in no
other way. v
These are the facts that Martin County’s 4-H’ers think
every North Carolinian should know.
