The governor stated’tfmF, "the handicapped citizens of our state have dem onstrated*ffleir productive capabilities, and their work skills and ; performance rec ords have ' proven to be as sets to employers. He ' ex yplained that more handicap . ped men and women than ever before‘afe seeking nor mal and. productive lives, but many barriers' still exist in hibiting their search for em ployment arid their propor tionate share in away of life that some of them, especially the disabled veteran, sacrific ed to protect. Said the governor: “While jobs exist In industry, busi ness and government that can be performed by the handi capped, often with an increase in productivity and safety, there also exists a need for greater understanding -and public participation in pro grams involved in education, rehabilitation and employ ment activities for the handi capped -citizen. Convenient access to buildings is an im portant consideration for the handicapped citizen a con sideration that allows him to i participate as fully as pos sible in opportunities he is able to accept.” Jenkins further stated that Gov. Scott urged architects, designers and others respon sible for building schools, parks, churches, public build ings and other places of pub lic use and employment to re member the needs of persons with mobility limitations.

Since this type of state and national emphasis of handi capped employment started back in 1945, there has been great improvement in job conditions for persons who suffer some type of physical impairment. A lot of effort and the nation’s talent has gone into the promotion of this program because actually it is a program which will not conclude. No termination is being sought by persons en gaged in these activities simp ly because the numbers of handicapped persons does not decline; Indeed, it increases. However, there are goals and aims involved in the work of such committees as the president’s and the gov ernor’s hire the handicapped committees. One is the em ployer education on the abili ties, not the disabilities, of the handicapped. Another is the removal of architectural barriers or anything that would prevent a handicapped person entering, leaving and using public accommodations. Another is public awareness of some of the problems be ing experienced by handicap ped people in their search for independence, especially em ployment self-sufficibncy. There are, indeed, some truly outstanding handicapped.* individuals in North Caro lina, and Jenkins stated that Vheir accomplishments are exemplary.- Hire the Handi capped W#lfc Is a" time to honor these people and their co'mpapi6jis v as much as it is a time to Rational attention to their problems. . _ ■ '. ft.,. i£ ■ 1 ' ; by Executive Director, National Coordinating Council on Drug Education Most drug abuse education programs do not have a pass ing grade. Basic fundamen tals of pharmacology are consistently ignored. For ex ample, existing drug abuse education materials do not acknowledge the dose-re spons^cur^^oianarugs. This simply means that the, effects of a drug depend on how much is taken. Children die every year from too much aspirin. At least 3,000 people die every year from too many barbitu ates. One quarter of all hospi tal admissions are a result of too much of a particular drug. The “too much” varies from person to person, which raises the main point —no generalizations should be made about drug effects. For example, to call marijuana a hallucinogenic or narcotic as we do in our education litera ture and programs is a strain to credibility and unrelated to the vast majority of pot smoking. Most people who try marijudna (like ciga rettes) get a cough and a choke the first time around. No hallucinations. No freak trips. No sex orgies. PETROLEUM PATROL A nationwide program of consumer protection at the gasoline pump has been inaugurated by a leading oil company. As part of a continuing effort to survey and maintain quality control of its lead-free gasolines, the American Oil Company has developed eleven unique vans, each laboratory-equipped to conduct on-the-spot tests for lead contamination. Dubbed the “Quality Control Patrol,” the red-white-and-biue traveling labs are capable of testing a sample of gasoline for lead traces in a matter of minutes. Previously, product-testing for lead trace amounts had to be done in company or commercial laboratories, sometimes taking several days to get results, including transit. According to American's Jim Sevick, manager of the Patrol program, the previous method was "too slow for effective quality control.” Each van visits unannounced a number of Amoco stations every day. “At each location,” says Sevcik, “a trained technician takes a product sample, determining on-the-spot if the gasoline meets our stringent specifications.” Sevcik says the company will continue “indefinitely” this program of exercising close product control, “to be sure consumers get what they pay for."

THE CHOWAN HERALD Trees Are Big Aid To Environment “Trees are more than just a source of lumber for homes and pulp for paper products. Trees are a vital controlling factor in our environment," according to County Banger Roger Spivey. "Meet people are aware that trees take in carbon dioxide and water to make their food and that the by-product of this process, called photosynthesis, is oxy gen. One fully-grown tree will produce enough oxygen dor one person on a continu ing basis, while an acre of young trees will produce oxygen for 18 people. All together the forests of North Carolina are able to supply the oxygen for 316 million people.” The beneficial effect of forests on our water supplies is without measure. “In fact,” said Ranger Spivey, "watershed protection is the forest’s greatest single value.” The floor of the forest acts as a giant sponge that soaks up rainfall and allows" his wa ter to replenish our ground water supplies; The flow of water in our streams and rivers tends- to be equalized by the effect of this "sponge" in reducing overland water flows to a minimum. This sponge effect also permits what rainfaH that does not enter our ground water sup ply to flow slowly through the soil to these streams and rivers. This prevents count less small floods and reduces the impact of major floods. “Since rivers which originate in North Carolina flow through 14 other states, the value of our forest water sheds are certainly far reach ing.” Aside from the forest’s ef fect on our watersheds and oxygen supplies and their ability to reduce noise and cool the air, forests also have a great psychological effect on people. “The calm of our forests are a haven for peo ple who spend most of their lives under the tensions of everyday living. Forests screen and camouflage un sightly scenes such as junk yards and mining sites, and break the monotony of end less miles of our highways'. “All forms of wildlife, from song birds to black bears, need and use the forests. Forests are a source of food, shelter and a resting area for wildlife. Trees, lesser vege tation and the forest floor combine to provide the re quirements for good wildlife habitat. Abundant forests and wildlife provide good hunting grounds, no matter if the hunter uses a gun, a camera or just his eyes and ears. “Forests provide other forms of outdoor recreation for all people.. Present camping and picnicking facilities are inade quate for the growing de mand. Woodlands provide private and public landown ers with the environment and opportunity to meet the needs for development of recreation facilities. But all too often woodland owners fail to plant a new forest after harvesting their trees or don’t harvest and manage their forest at all. Trees, like any other living thing, will mature and even tually die. Dead trees are of little valtle to anyone or anything. They require more oxygen to decay and the room they take up prevents new trees from growing. ‘lf there were just e few trees reaching this stage at the same time on our forests, this wouldn’t be a problem. But in many areas, the en tire forest will reach this point at about the same time. When the trees start to die, the forest has lost much of its value and beauty. Even the wildlife will leave and seek a new home where food is more plentiful. About the only thing to do in such cases is to harvest the trees and plant a new forest. With the current demand for wood and wood products, and the projected increased demand in the future, this harvesting and replanting is the most logical way to go.
