Bond, Post 40’s grounds. Legion Post Celebrates Veterans Day Local The hour of 11 o’clock came on November 11, and members of the various Veteran and other “service organizations’’ gathered on the grounds of Edward G. Bond, Post 40 of the American Legion celebrated and honored the American veterans. The ceremony for the veterans, started and centered around the raising of the American flag and the speeches of local dignitaries. The first dignitary to speak was Mayor Roy Harrell who gave a brief history of Veteran’s Day. “It all started”, the Mayor National Adoption Week Proclaimed RALElGH—Thanksgiving week, November 22-27, has been pro claimed National Adoption Week by the North American Council on Adoptable Children and Adoption Week in North Carolina by Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr. “The purpose of this special observance is to honor the many close-knit families across our state and nation that have been formed through adoption, and to focus at tention on the- vast number of children who are still in need of per manent homes with loving parents to call their own,” Gov. Hunt wrote in a special proclamation announ cing adoption week. N.C. Secretary of Human Resources Dr. Sarah T. Morrow stated that “During this special week, county social services departments, private adoption agencies, adoption advocacy groups and adoptive parent groups across the state will be making an effort to let the public know that adoption is no longer just a service for infertile couples who want to adopt a baby. Adoption in North Carolina, and across the nation, is now a service to children, who, through no fault of their own, are caught in the unfortunate cir cumstance of being parentless wards of the state.” Dr. Morrow said there are cur rently 4,722 children in foster care in North Carolina with 518 of these already legally cleared for adop tion. Anothr 1,257 of these children are already in the process of being legally cleared for adoption by county social services departments across the state. She said most of these children are considered special needs children. They are older, and some are brothers and sisters who should be placed together. Many are minority children. Some have physical handicaps and/or emo tional problems. Others have been abused, neglected or abandoned by their natural parents. Many of the children with special needs are eligible for financial help after they have been placed for adoption. Morrow added that the emphasis during the week will be placed on toe fact that children of all ages, abilities and disabilities are being successfully nlnced for adoption. said...“on November 11,1918 when armistice was signed and most of the men who served came back.” “On November 11,1928,” he con tinued, “the body of some unknown doughboy was lain to rest in a mar ble tomb in Washington, D.C. World War II came and I remember how proud my mother was to put the stars in the window denoting that she had two sons in the service.” In recent years, however, the trend has reversed. We no longer called it a war and honor those who served for us. We have instead called it a conflict. The Mayor related that, “We have allowed our Viet Nam Veterans come home in without honor.” Mayor fell tßgjjrend asmaß ton woulqnave te stanjnvmg the veterans me type of honor troy had 1 when he was a child. He presented the following memory as an exam ple: “At 11 A.M. on November 11 the whistle blew and every person, who had hearing knew the meaning of the day.” Joe Hollowell, County Commis sioner elect was the next dignitary to speak. He told the people gathered how proud he was everytime he travels through N.C. and the United States. Proud because of the freedom we share and the quality of life that we have today. But, “Someone had to pay the price for the life that we enjoy.” Mr. Hollowell said that we must Pig Picking Benefit Slated Concerned citizens of Hertford have decided to-scold a Benefit Pig Picking for Ed and Barbara Nixon who lost their home in a fire last Saturday, November 13 which destroyed all of their belongings.

Protect Yo#j Family. l Do you stuff your Thanksgiving turkey the day before it is roasted? Or do you cook it in a slow oven for hours and hours, so that you don’t have to get up in the middle of the night? If so, you are running the risk of food poisoning. Any method which allows the turkey and stuffing to sit between 40 and 140 degrees F. for more than a couple of hours is risky, says Bob Brackett, extension food specialist at North Carolina State University. Protect your family this holiday season by playing it safe. Never thaw a frozed bird at room temperature. Never stuff the turkey one day and code it the next. Never roast it partly one day and cook it the next. Never roast the bird at 200 degrees for a long, long time. Never place the bird in an oven preheated to 500 degrees F., turn the heat off and let it sit 10 to 12 hours. The safest way to thaw a turkey is in the refrigerator, allowing one to two days for a four to 12 pound bird; two to three days for a 12 to 20 pound turkey and three to four days if the bird weighs 20 to 24 pounds. The fastest safe method is to wrap the bird in a water-tight wrap and put it in cold water. It will be thawed in four to six hours if it weighs four to 12 pounds; six to eight hours if it is 12 to 20 pounds and eight to 12 hours if it is 20 to 24 pounds. Turkey can also be doubted wrap ped in paper bags and placed in a cool room to defrost. Allow 12 to 15 hours for a four to 12pound bird; 15 *o 20 hours if the turkey is 12 to 24- pounds. Stuffing is another potentially hazardous food. It is best to cook it separately from the bird, recom mends the extension specialist. If it is placed inside the turkey, place it loosely and use a meat ther mometer inserted into the stuffing. The temperature should reach 180 **" . " ... i : " .. Council Fills Vacant Positions .
