Miss Carol Lester
Is Beauty Of Week
By Polly Manning
Post Staff Writer
Every man unconsciously
dreams of one day falling in
love with a Pisces woman. It’s
the very special charm that
surrounds her that really
hooks them. Pisces women
love clothes, they are very
devoted to their families, they
are very sentimental, affect
ionate. and romantic. No two
people that come in contact'
with Pisces will get the same
impression of them.
This week the staff at the
Post is fortunate to have as its
Beauty one of those mysti
fying young ladies. Miss Carol
Lester.
..Carol, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John. W. Lester of 2922
Southwest Hlvd. is a 1971
graduate of West Charlotte
High School. She is 21 years
old and says, “I feel I have
lived my 21 years to the ful
lest.”
..While attending West Char
lotte our Beauty was a mem
ber of the marching hand and
the chorus. Miss Lester at
tended Durham Business Col
lege after graduating from
high srhool. While attending
Durham Business College.
Carol was a member of the
Journalism Club.
In 1971 Miss Lester was
presented as a Debutante. She
w as sponsored by Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority. Our Beauty
was second-runner up to Miss
Debutante 1971-72.
.Our Beauty has as her
hobbies sewing, traveling, and
reading. She enjoys reading
mostly magazines. Carol
would like to travel to Mil
waukee and visit her
relatives. "This trip will be
given to me by my parents,
smiled Miss Lester. I will be
going during my summer
vacation."
■ Carol and her family attend
University Park Baptist
Church where Kev. James E.
Palmer is the minister. Carol
doesn't participate in any
church activities, although
she used to usher.
..Miss Lester is employed
with the Exxon Company. She
has been with the company
two years and says the thing
she likes most about her job is
the money.
. ."I am a clerical assistant. I
like the work and the people
who I work with.”
Miss Lester tries not to let
anything upset her. “I feel
that nothing is that important.
Would you believe the most
important thing to me right
now Is money? ft Is. I feel that
with money there's no need to
go around worrying, you have
the source to conquer the pro
blem."
Miss Lester says she stron
gly disagrees with the saying
"Money Is The Hoot Of All
Evil," "I would say "Money
Is The Start Of Something
flood."

17 Million Americans Using Food Stamps
New Cost Is
4 Billion
Per Year
Millions of Americans who
thought food stamps were
Something for the chronically
poor are discovering that they
■re an invaluable help in
meeting rising food budgets la
a time of mounting unemploy
ment.
..More than 17 million people
were using food stamps in
December, according to the U.
8. Department of Agriculture,
compared with 13.5 million
last June.
..This 26 percent increase in
six months reflects the grow
ing recession and loss of jobs
throughout the economy.
Even greater increases are in
prospect as economists pre
dict that unemployment will
reach 8 to 9 percent of the
labor force by spring.
.In the past about 60 percent
of fond stamp users were reci
pients of welfare benefits and
two out of three recipients of
stamps also received aid In
other forms such as social
security, medicare or public
changed, however, as the
number of stamp users rose
rapidly from 13.5 million in
June to 15.1 million in October
and 17.1 million in December.
..At the June, 1974, level the
program was costing $2.9
billion a year. At the new
levels, the cost will be about $4
billion a year.
..As the need for food stamps
grows, the Congress has been
seeking ways to prevent the
Ford Administration from in
creasing the cost of the
stamps to low-income and
“no-income” Americans.
More than half of the Senate
and many House members
have introduced legislation
calling on the Department of
Agriculture to recind its pro
posed regulations raising
stamps from an average of 23
percent of recipients' income
to 30 percent. Failing to per
suade the Administration to
forego the higher costs to the
poor legislation has begun to
move to delay by law the
increases until December.
1975.
