Winners Home Surroundings Say Much About Occupants By M. E. GARDNER N. C. State University Many times the char acter of a family can be judged by the appearance of the home. We all have pride in the outward appearance of our homes but it seems that some of us just can't find the time to do the things that need to be done. Visitors can likewise judge a town or city by the appearance of the homes and industrial plants. A well land scaped factory, ware house or place of busi ness denotes officers and employees as congenial and efficient as their pleasant surroundings. With pleasant surround ings you find, too, good neighbors, substantial citizens and community pride. Real estate dealers are always attracted to well landscaped homes because they can get from 10 to 25 percent more for a well planted home than from one that has been neglected. Plants become more attractive as they grow and provide shade and color, or whatever they were selected to accom plish in the landscape scheme. If the neigh bors match your efforts, the whole neighborhood will become a desirable place to live, and your home or business be comes a good investment should you wish to sell.

So Mrs. Vivian Morris, extension home economist, Martin County, made a special point to invite men to the "use-and-care of appliances" workshop she held for families moving into the new Riverdale housing devel opment in Williamston. The result: an all male audience. "You've never seen a more interested or a more vocal group," the agent said. "Four of the men lived alone. Most of them had never used an electric range before."

North Carolina is one of the most garden minded states in the nation. With more in dividual enthusiasm and responsibility, it could also be the most beau tiful. Improving the envi ronment is the favorite conversation piece in these days of haste and waste. Improvement will only come when each citizen assumes his or her proper place in the ever changing scheme of things. Plant the flowers, shrubs, trees, fruits and vegetables that you like best and those that are best suited to your locality. Taking pride in whatever you do will be a rewarding experience and a fine contribution to community spirit and beauty. You may be surprised to learn that the avocation or hobby of gardening amounts to a whopping 4 billion dollars annually in the United States. I think the reason for this stems from the fact that it is something in which the entire family can partic ipate. Aside from the family groups, we have the specialists who can create many art forms with living plants. the men to use and clean the range and to keep the refrigerator fresh and clean. "They are looking forward to their next homeowner's meeting," the agent added. IMPROVES HOUSING Last year was a ban ner year for Caswell County so far as housing was concerned. There were 46 famil ies who had previously lived in substandard housing who moved into new houses. An additional 72 families did something about remodeling or Im proving their old houses and at least 35 families seeded lawns and planted shrubbery, reports Mrs. Helen Payne, home economics extension agent. USE OLD CARDS If you still have 1971's Christmas cards stored in boxes, drawers or , attics, Mrs. Phyllis Stainback, home econom ics extension agent, Vance County, has a suggestion: Cut old cards into attractive shapes or cut out their designs and use them as name tags on your 1972 gifts. You'll save money and you'll gain storage space, the agent concludes.

Other self-help projects included land clearing, roof improvement, waterway construction, land reclamation, land purchasing as well as agricultural tool purchasing. Training development has been emphasized by the CDF/ SCF Korea Field office in its entire 20 years. Such training has included field work, case-work services and skills, ana family counselling. During the past fiscal year some 17 semi nars were held, training more than 225 people. Included in the CDF Korean program is a demonstrated effort at national government and local levels in the capa bilities of computer reporting and how the computer as a tool can facilitate the work of both accounting reporting and pro gram development Community Development Foundation assists communities in this country and overseas to initiate and carry out projects which meet local needs and utilize local resources and local volunteer labor.

Phone 544-1105 [ Computer Word System Used To Retrieve Accident CHAPEL HILL - It hap pens every day. Roadside distractions are the path to destruction. The word "ogle" has ap peared on several traffic police reports being studied at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center (HSRC) here which is compiling an interesting list of key words, including "ogle", to feed to a computer for re trieving accident report data. When the system is work ing, for example, the word "fire" can be programmed in to the machine and out will come all the accident reports in which fire was mentioned as a factor. When the word "ogle" ap peared on the computer list HSRC staffers were quick to inquire: Did the accident oc cur because the driver was "ogling a pretty girl"? Or was it because the driver was being "ogled"? "This unique capability will enable researchers and highway safety planners and administrators to understand just what is happening in traffic crashes," HSRC Direc tor B. J. Campbell said. North Carolina may be the first state in the nation to have this system. Other words and phrases have appeared on the initial sample computer list. Hors and wagon, chicken, goat, and a variety of other domestic and wild animals will suggest how many accidents involve such animals. "Often," Dr. Campbell said, "much insight into the cause of an accident is contained in the investigating officer's nar rative. We hope the officers will be more thorough in seek ing out factors that contribute to accidents and in explaining their findings on the accident reports." D.T.I.

Of course, the national Black community has an annual gross spendable income of more than 30 billion dollars. But most of this economic wealth is gained from the payrolls of white business and industry. Like it or not, the Black community does not have enough Black-owned businesses to employ all our people at a salary level commensurate with today's cost of living or the quality of our preparation. While economic independence may be many years away, there is one area where Blacks can gain a greater voice today. That is in the political arena. We must adopt Education, Economics, and Politics as our power base. When I say political power, I'm not merely talking about electing a handful of Black candi dates to various offices. No, I'm talking about the importance of voter registration and placing your vote where it can reap the greatest returns for the Black community as a whole. It matters not whether a political candidates Black or white, as long as he has empathy with the Black community and its problems. We must stop using our ballots to put people into office who are only concerned with lining their own pockets with gold. We must learn to listen and evaluate the promises of those who are seeking our support. We have arrived at a time when we must stand up and let the world know that politicians can' no longer count on our vote just because they promise us a bushel basket of food and fifteen dollars. Your vote is your power. Use it wisely, or we shall always be fighting the poverty, hunger, and blight that prevails in our community today.
