Operation Fan-Heat
Relief Underway
Human Resources’ Secretary
David T. Flaherty has announced
that “Operation Fan-Heat
Relief” is underway again this
summer in all 100 counties in
North Carolina. This is the fifth
year of the special emergency
project designed to help elderly
North Carolinians cope with the
summer heat by providing
electric fans for those who are in
need of cooling equipment.
“Elderly citizens are
particularly vulnerable to
summer heat,” Secretary
Flaherty said. “Heat stroke and
heat exhaustion can be avoided
when older adults are able to
keep cool through the use of
electric fans."
Three electric power
companies in the state have
donated funds to purchase
electric fans. The companies are

Employee Of The Month
Kangaroo Products Company
recognizes Joyce Nesbitt as July
Employee of the Month.
Ms. Nesbitt is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Walter C. Simmons
of Landrum, S.C. She joined the
company May 13, 1986 and has
served in a variety of capacities
in the Accounting Department.

managing accounts payable and
handling health insurance claims

quest to shop health insurance
coverage after Kangaroo's
underwriter announced a 19%
increase in premiums Through
her efforts, comparable coverage
was secured at 8% increase from
another underwriter (a savings
of $5300), and the $100 employee
deductible was maintained
Her habitual good cheer,
efficiency, experience and talent
in accounting, as well as this
recent achievement, earned her
designation as July's honored
employee. — Reporter
Beef Cow Adds
To Earth’s Ecology
In a book entitled “Diet for a
New America,” author John
Robbins examines the
environmental impact of modern
food production systems. In the
pages of this controversial book
he concludes that the humble
beef cow is guilty of
environmental crimes.
He claims that cattle eat too
much, drink too much water,
cause soil erosion and despoil the
land in proportion to their
usefulness.
He argues that the
environment would prosper if
man ate more leafy vegetables
and fewer T-bones. Of course the
writer could also argue that the
Earth would be a better place if
Man were not here to do his share
of despoiling.
The people who work nose-to-
nose with beef cows, namely
cattlemen, know that these
creatures are far from
environmental criminals and in
fact contribute in large part to
the nutritional needs of millions
of Americans.
Contrary to claims that raising
cattle makes ill-use of natural
resources, the majority of beef
cows spend most of their lives
grazing on land ill-suited to any
other purpose
Poor, arid, hilly and rocky land
can hold a heavenly abundance of
the grass, roughages and crop
residues which satisfy the
nutritional needs of ruminant
(four-stomach) animals such as
cattle There are some 835 million
