How 1 o Stretch Your Food Dollars Cut down on the amount of food you waste in storage, cooking and serving and : you’ll stretch your food • dollars as much as you do making smart buys in the : grocery. This is the reminder of Peggy Gentry, an LSU Cooperative Extension Ser vice home economist, who offers these tips on kitchen economy: Save stale bread and heels to have a ready supply of bread crumbs. Place in a plastic bag and freeze until needed. Make crumbs by Gutting frozen slices in the lender or food processor or by toasting and crumbling. Roll citrus fruits on a hard surface beneath your hand to make them easier to squeeze and to yield more juice. Grate the peel of citrus fruits, place in a tightly covered container and freeze to use when a recipe calls for grated peel. Be careful not to include the bitter inner white rind when grating. Extend the keeping quali ty of fresh parsley by refrigerating in container after washing it. Extend the keeping quali ty of cheese that is beginning to mold or harden by grating it and freezing in a sealed plastic hag until needed. Prescription Mecicine Can Be Dangerous There are generally two ways of doing most everything — the right way and the wrong way. And this applies to taking medicine. When medicine is prescribed for you it is prescribed for you alone, no one else, and it should be taken in the exact dose at the proper time for it to best do its job. Since some prescrip tion medicines can be dangerous if taken im properly, the North Carolina Medical Society of fers a few useful directions: — Store medicine in a cabinet, preferably locked, away from the reach of children. — Keep only those medicines that you are cur rently using. — Destroy old prescrip tions because many drug* lose potency or become chemically changed over a period of time. — l'icver uiif medicine m the dark; it’s too easy to make a mistake. If it’s late at night, turn the light on. If you wear glasses for reading, put them on. — Keep medicine in the original container to avoid confusing them with other medicines. If you use a pill container paste a small label on the outside of the lid. — Keep medicines away from the bedside table. Make it necessary to get up and cross the room to take them. It is too easy to take an overdose of the medication by accidentally repeating it during the middle of the night when yon are sleepy. — If you have more than one container of pills or cap sules to take, make sure one is closed before taking the other. This avoids mix-ups. — When pouring from the bottle, keep the label facing up so that if anything drips down the side of the bottle it will not discolor the label and make it hard to read. — Avoid using medicine for children that is disguised as candy. The child may like it so much that he'll find the medicine and take the whole bottle. Black Colleges Still Have Imoortant Educational Role Special To The Pott Salisbury — Black Col leges still have important educational role — Predominantely black . col leges, a panel of distinguish ed alumni of Livingstone College said here last night, still have a place in the scheme of education in the United States despite the push toward integration because black colleges take students with insufficient preparation for higher education and deal with them individually. This is necessary, the panelists said, to keep them from getting lost in the "revolving door of educa tion” and failing to develop the potential which they have. Predominately white schools often accept black students to meet federally re quired quotas, approximate ly 120 members of alumni chapters in this area were told but those black students are then lost in the shuffle and drop out after a year, failing to complete college at all. Dr. William J. Trent, Jr., director of development at Bennett College, Greens boro, a member of the class of 1930 at Livingstone College, served as moderator for the Alumni Centennial Seminar on “The Alumni Focus on the Future: Im plications for Black Col leges" at Walls Center of Hood Th eological Seminary. Dr. Trent, son of former Livingstone President William J. Trent said he "began my love affair with Livingstone 54 years ago and it seems to grow stronger as I realize the opportunities that she fostered for me. I en courage students and alumni alike to give financial and spiritual support to our alma mater, boast about our past, but work hard to boot our future aspirations.” The panel, featuring pro fessionals in economics, education, medicine and politics, presented brief assessments of opportunities and how Livingstone graduates can continue into graduate education, the military and private in dustry. Dr. Alfred Edwards, a member of the 1948 class and chairman of the business Mrs Elizabeth Koontz ...Member of class of ’38 department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, said “blacks must be con cerned about learning the principles of economics. Social programs will not be stable, funds will not be allocated and we will never be secure until we learn to handle our own financial af fairs." Citing the fact that there are less than 100 black persons with Ph.D. degrees in America, he said graduate schools throughout the na tion are actively recruiting qualified blacks and minorities._ _ ■* Salisbury native Dr. Elizabeth Duncan Koontz, a member of the 1938 class currently serving as assistant superintendent of North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, said “black colleges must be com mitted to work with dedica tion and enthusiasm to take students from where they are and help raise them to a stan dard of excellence. “We cannot release them until they can compete in a world and contribute after having refined their skills. We cannot afford to stamp our seal of approval until then.” Mrs. Koontz said the revolving door of education at predominately white col leges take in large numbers of blacks, many of whom are not ready to meet the challenges of higher educa tion. Therefore, they are quickly turned out because of academic and social pro blems while the institutions boast of compliance with federal civil rights guidelines, she said. Mrs. Koontz insisted that “black schools must be en couraged to let these students in and give them a period to prepare for the de mand of a curriculum that will enable them to compete and be successful at every level.” Dr. Paul Jackson, a member of the Livingstone board or trustees and Tem ple University dental facul ty, was concise. Students, he said, must start early to prepare themselves to be disciplined and ready for the regime that's required for profes sional education. He is a member of the class of 1930 and along with Dr. Trent has been a major contributor to the college over the years. Politics was discussed by Attorney Solomons Seay. Jr, a member of the 1952 class. “Politicians." he said, "will begin paying lip service to the needs of black people as election time approaches: however, when this country is called upon to make sacrifices, a dispropor tionate number of blacks will suffer in comparison to the rest of society in both peacetime and war.” He defined politics as be ing “wise in looking out for one's own interest. must have positive interest and proper training to manage." Mrs. Mabel Jones, direc tor of alumni affairs, was coordinator for the program which included remarks by Livingstone President F. George Shipman and Roy Leazer of Salisbury, national alumni president. Mrs. Earle Lyons Barker, reigning Miss Livingstone Alumni, presented a check for $25 to the sophomore class for having the largest number of students atten dii j Endowment Fund Convo cation will take place at 8:30 at the seminary, with Eugene E.
