Hunger Problem In
Warren Under Study
The hunger problem In War
ren county Is under study by a
team of five young volunteer
workers sent Into the county
by the American Friends Ser
vice Committee of High Point.
A similar project Is under
way In Green County.
In Warren County three AFSC
volunteers are Joined by two
local persons to form the team.
The volunteers are working on
a study of various federal pro
grams that try to solve the hun
ger problem. The local prac
tice of these programs and the
effectiveness of the laws them
selves are the subject of their
study, which will continue until
and end of August.
ServingTji- "Warren "County"
are Gall Gordon of Long Is
land, N. Y., a senior at New
College University in New
York; Susie Hawes of Wash
ington, D. C., a high school
graduate; Larry Zucherman of
New York, a rising high school
senior; Carolina Jordan, 19,
a rising sophomore at John
son-Smith University, and the
daughter of Mrs. Richard Jor
dan of Warren County; and Lucy
Boyd, 20, a second-year student
at Durham Business Schoo}, and
the daughter of Kermit Boyd.
The team is attempting to
collect and distribute infor
mation particularly about the
food stampprogram. Miss Boyd
said, in an article prepared
for the Warren Record this
week, that members of the
AFSC team are visiting low
Income families of Warren
County, to spread Information
on help that Is now available,
and to objectively view their
ideas on the program.
Miss Boyd said that although
many people are eligible for the
assistance, they do not take ad
vantage of it. Because of this,
their problems remain un
solved, while the money that was
meant to help them goes un
used. She said the AFSC hopes
to get many people to take ad
vantage of the services that are
available.
Besides food stamps, the
AFSC study also Included the
school lunch program and the
m
?Emergency Food Fund. When
d?ta on these has been col
lected, a report will be print ed.
President Nixon requested
that the AFSC undertake this
study, and In accordance with
his wishes, the AFSC will tes
tily before a Congressional
committee after the findings
are In.
Governor Scott has also voic
ed his concern about the hunger
, problem In North Carolina. He
| and other high official will re
ceive the final report.
Miss Boyd said that the re
port not only covers North Car
olina, but also California, New
Jersey, West Virginia, Pen
_nsylvanla, Maryland. Oregon
and Maine. ~ ?

flower arranging here.
Agent Gives Flower Demonstration
Miss Charlotte Womble,
North Carolina Extension Ser
vice Specialist in charge of
Housing and House Furnishings,
recently gave Warren County
Extension Homemakers work
leaders in Housing, House
Furnishings and Creative
Crafts, a special Interest dem
onstration on flower arranging
In the Warren County Court
house.
Some of the suggestions for
arranging flowers that Miss
Womble pointed out to the group
were as follows:
1. Never cram flowers into
a vase with little regard for the
individual beauty of each blos
som or spray. A few flowers
arranged to show their natural
beauty will give you a much
more pleasing arrangement.
2. The highest point of an
arrangement should be directly
over the center of the arrange
ment.
3. The darkest color should
be kept nearest the center.
. 4. Avoid top-heavy arrange
ments by placing the heavier
flowers at the bottom. Mass the
solids near the center and let
the spaces or voids increase
on the outer edge of the ar
rangement. Strong line at the
base gives balance.
5. Stems should not be ex
actly the same length.
A? - lion imairan numKnr nf
u. U oc UllCTCll llUHlUt'l fcrx?
flowers and sprays, and space
the voids unevenly.
7. Stems should come from
a common point and spread in
a naturalistic way.
They should be brought to
gether just above the container
or water level. Stems may be
arranged interestingly in clear
glass containers.
8. Foliage of the flower or
foliage that blends in with it
may be used effectively. A
good recipe is: 2/3 flowers and
l/3 foliage.
9. Avoid padding with aspara
gus fern. It seldom adds to
an arrangement and it spoils
many.
10. The height of the tallest
stem in a low arrangement
should be 1 1/2 times the width
of the container.
11. The longest stem in atall
arrangement should be 1 1/2
times the height of the con
talner.
12. A pleasing proportion for
vine arrangements Is: 2/3 be
low the vase rim and 1/3 above.

"I've saved something 1
