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.

Men Turn Out to Get
Home Economics Tips
By
JANICE CHRISTENSEN
Knowing how and why
a gadget works appeals
to most men. 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."

enjoyment and pleasure
for you and everyone in
your community.
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

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.

Comniunity Development Foundation (CDF), an international
voluntary agency, assists Koreans in initiating and carrying out
community development projects such as the chicken raising
venture pictured above.
The Community Development Foundation (CDF), and its
cooperating agency, Save the Children Federation (SCF),
headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, reported today that
during its fiscal year over 1,188 self-help projects were ini
tiated and carried out in urban and rural areas of the Re
public of Korea.
Of the 1,188 self-help projects carried out there were 103
community development projects and 1,085 family self-help
projects.
Some of the self-help projects carried out during the 1970-
71 fiscal year included cow, pig, rabbit, goat and chicken
raising. 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.
Incorporated in 1959, the Foundation was granted con
sultative status to the United Nations in 1966, Dy the U.N.
Economic and Social Council. The Foundation is a member
of the American Council of Voluntary Agencies for Foreign
Service, the International Council of Voluntary Agencies,
and is registered with the U.S. State Department Advisory
Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid.

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."

Right now, Blacks are not equipped to survive
as a separate, independent nation. 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.
