calls "early chicken

"I went through old
family forget-me-nots
that were stashed away
in an old unused chicken
house," Bhe explained to
Fonrose Gore, home
economics extension
agent. "And there were
a lot of things we can

MEN CONSERVE
Canning, freezing and
other methods of food
conservation can be an

Men often call or

The result? Spare,
clean-lined living spaces
with a pleasant rough
texture. To give the
house color, owners can
add lots of bright-colored
pillows and carpeting.
The use of air as a
building material is still
fairly revolutionary, al
through giant plastic
bubbles are mushroom
ing across the country
in the form of athletic
field houses, tennis
courts and classrooms.
Such structures are
inexpensive and highly
mobile because of their
lightweight. No beams or
supports are needed.
One company, spe
cializing in air struc
tures, has a house that

man foot patrol. (UPI)

and takes only 30 minutes
to set up.
First the floor is laid
on the ground, then the
top section is spread over
it. Next, 450 gallons of
water are filled into the
hose base to anchor the
floor, then the bubble is
blown up in eight
with an electric blower.
The structure could
sell for less than $2,000.
Fiberglas, used for
making boats and some
furniture, is also seen
as a potential building
material.
Lightweight, and easy
to mold into various
shapes, fiberglas could
make an easily portable,
almost instant house.
Such a house could be
relatively maintenance
free and could be
manufactured in a wide
range of colors.
GET ORGANIZED
Want to get organ

attractive wall-hung
gadgets that may help.
According to extension
housing specialists at
N. C. State, "one is made
of cane, to blend with
the currently popular
wicker look."
There's a sewing
organizer that can rest
on a table or hang on the
wall, for holding thread,
scissors, needles and
pins. Or you may wish to
try a colorful pegboard
with pockets of all shapes
and sizes to hold trivia.

Benedict College Resigns
COLUMBIA, S.C. -The resigna
tion of Dr. Benjamin F. Payton
from the presidency of Bene,
diet College has been anl
nouneed by Trustee Board 1
Chairman Benjamin E. Maysi
Dr. Payton, who has served
as president of Benedict since
January, heading the Ford
Foundation's new SIOO million
program of assistance to mi
norities in higher education.
The 39-year-oid educator
announced his resignation at
the Fall meeting of the Bene
dict Board of Trustees. The
resignation will be effective
December 31st.
Meanwhile, Mr. Luns C.
Richardson, who has been act
ing President since February
will continue to serve as Bene
dict's chief executive officer
at least until June 30,1973.
Dr. Mays, who joined Dr.
Payton in a press conference
Thursday afternoon, said an
eight-man search committee
was formed by the Board of
Trustees to name Dr. Payton's
successor.
Dr. Mays said the committee
Berliners Can Shop at City Hall
K«HHL
Visitors who like to wander among colorful stalls of
flowers, fruits and vegetables would love the open-air
market held on Tuesdays and Fridays in the John F.
Kennedy Square in front of West Berlin's handsome Town
Hall in the borough of Schoeneberg. It was from the bal
cony facing this square that the late President Kennedy
addressed 450,000 Berliners with his historic "Ich bin
ein Berliner" speech in 1963.
The tower of Berlin's Town Hall rises to 230 feet and,
when open to visitors, may be ascended by means of 374
steps; a strenuous trip, perhaps, but amply rewarded by a
panoramic view of some eighteen miles in all directions.
It is also this tower that contains Berlin's own Liberty
Bell, presented to the city in October, 1950 as a gift from
17 million contributing Americans: it is modeled on the
one in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, that was the
first to ring in celebration of the signing of the Declara
tion of Independence by the Continental Congress (July 4,
1776). Weighing 10 tons, it is Berlin's largest bell; and
each noon, as well as on Christmas Eve and New Year's
Eve, it peals out the hope that "This world under God
shall have a new birth of freedom."
The borough of Schoeneberg (first recorded, in 1264, as
Sconenberch), was granted its municipal charter in 1898.
The present Town Hall dates from 1911-14, has 340 rooms,
and now houses the offices of the Governing-Mayor as
well as the Senate and House of Representatives of
Berlin.

The percntage of Benedict
faculty holding the eamde doc
torate has risen from 17 per
cent in 1967 to 37 per cent to
day and student enrollment is
at a record high.
Reports questioned Dr.
Payton regarding the length of
the Ford Foundation program
which he is directing, and he
replied that the program is
presently scheduled to run over
a period of six years.
Dr. Payton said: "The pro
blem now is that leadership of
the Ford Foundation program
is of such importance that it
really became impossible for
me to say to the Benedict
Board of Trustees that I would
be able to return to Benedict
next year or even the year
after."

Food coats have risen
and the rise has attracted
a lot of attention, but
food hasn't been the
leader In the general rise
of nearly all consumer
goods. Food prices last
year were 18 percent
above 1967 and 34 per
cent above 1960. But
the consumer index for
all Items showed an in

1967 and 36 percent over
1960. Housing, health
and reoreatlon prices
have risen more than food

GRAIN PROBLEM
One of the major
problems with small
grains (oats, rye, wheat,
barley) in North Caro
lina is late seeding,
according to North Caro
lina State University
crops specialists. They
point out that many
growers are seeding
small grains, partic
ularly barley and oats,
too late for good root
development prior to cold
weather. These crops
are seeded in North
Carolina in the fall.
