C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: out orwAT*?°o8E Sar^m/sk months, m.ss Happy New Year A new year is usually thought of as a time tor a new start, when pld mistakes can be wiped off the slate and a new beginning made. While it may not always work out that way because of human proneness to commit the same mistakes year after year, the new year still remains a time of new hopes. Having gone through a long period of decline, accented by recent racial disturbances which we may hope are now behind us, Warren County can indeed face the new year with both hope and confidence. With the addition of two new factories in the county during the past year, one already employing some 50 persons and constantly increasing this number, and the other.factory expected to begin operations early in the year with the employment of several hundred persons, the future of the county looks bright indeed for a growth in population and in business. Warren County should find as the new year begins that it has a real opportunity to go forward into a more prosperous and better future with all our people working for its fulfillment. That this opportunity may be realized and that all our readers may have a Lappy and Prosperous New Year is the sincere wish of The Warren Record. A Man's Version Of Heloise From The Detroit Free Press B«tty Fried an, one of the high priestesses of women's lib, has ruled that housework is degrading to women, and she may well be right. If this feeling causes women to abandon housework completely, however, somebody is going to have to do it and guess who. lien who might find themselves thus forced to cope with a cruel and hostile environment could use a few tips to save trouble, but they will not find them in Helolse's sage counM. Take showers to prevent the ring around the tub which accompanies baths. By keeping the flow from the shower head at a trickle, It is possible to go for days without Ajaxing the bottom of the tub. Put salad and meat on the same plate, to save dishes. It all gets mixed up in your stomach anyhow. Frying pans are easier to clean than broilers, so now you know what to do with hamburger, even though it will put weight on you. (You can jog it off.) The problem of laundry can be solved by keeping it down. A pair of socks acquires a definite personality after a couple of days' wear. Use paper napkins Instead of dish towels. A large stock of safety pins will make It unnecessary for you to replace buttons on shirts and coats. If anything gets ripped, throw it away. Get in and out of bed very carefully, without disturbing the sheets and blankets more than necessary. It can be more readily pulled together In the morning. Housework. . . .nothing to it. All a fellow needs is ingenuity and a system that is not allergic to dust. Russian Women? They're Women The Smithfield Herald Governments may espouse different Ideologist, bat women seem pretty much the same the world over. They are fashioomlnded. Consider the news from Moscow. "The controversial capitalist mldl has come to the Soviet Union," said an article In the ChristIan 8clence Monitor written by a Moscow correspondent Moscow's House of Fashions has decreed that Russia should follow the "general world trend toward the mldl." A fashion designer observed: "It's cold here and a longer length Is good for us." But In Communist Russia, not all women are willing to submit to the decree of the designers. Russian women like variety Just as American women do. And they don't want to be dictated to by any designer. Read this report on a recent fashion show: "There was something for everyone. Sleek paatsvtts, tailored 1930ish street dresses, rakish wide-brimmed hats, sturdy doublebreasted aid! suits, swirling capes, crisp mlnlaklrts, elegant dinner dresses, a man's glit tering evening Jacket, and—perhaps mostly tor the benefit of foreigners—a couple of provocative peek-through blouses." The creations of the Moscow designers are varied and colorful, but stylish designs are not plentiful In most of the stores. Factories down the line concentrate on meeting quantity goals, according to state plans, and come up short on variety. The result Is that ordinary Soviet women, although said to be better dressed than they were 10 years ago, don't wear the styles and colors they would like to wear. But let no American conclude that Russian women spend their time trying to be true to some Western concept of a "Communist image." The word from Moscow Is that they go frequently for grooming at beauty parlors, read all the Western fashion magazines they can get their hands on and "race off breathlessly across town to stand In line if the grapevine has it that a shipment of boots or handbags has arrived." to short, Russian women are women. The White House Derby The Sari Ch field Herald Democrats are heartened and Republicans an frightened by the latest findings of the Harris Survey. Samplings of opinion throughoat the country, taken In November after the 1970 elections, show presidential hopeful Edmund Muakle, the Democratic front-runner In the White House derby, well ahead of President Nixon. B the Harris Survey truly reflects current public sentiment, 46 per cent ot V. 8. vetera would choose Muskie over Nixon for President in 1971, 40 per cent would support Nixon, 10 per cent would go for George Wallace and 4 percent are uncertain about their Political realists warn that sentiment can easily shift back toward Nixon. All the President needs tor regaining lost ground, some political observers remind us, is success In ending unemployment and inflation, plus Mflllment of his avowwd goal to cat all oar combat forces oat of Vietnam. Still the President and his political advisers are bound to feel uneasiness. Even U the boys keep coming home from southeast H* and the state of the economy Improves considerably, Senator Muskie and the Democrats seem likely to make a strong bid tor the presidency two years from now. Mr. Nixon narrowly won the election of ISM. The strength at Democrats lack. The President can act. Senator Muskie and his Democratic rivals for the presidency can only react. Hang On, Teachers Roxboro-Courler Times * The North Carolina Association of Educ*ors Research Department, which keeps up with such things, reports that North Carolina ranked 37th (In the nation) in teacher salaries last year. But, while the NCAE might wall wish to be In the position to cry "We're Number One," In this category, it Is quick to recognize progress when such is warranted. The NCAE points out that the state ranks 14th In the nation In progress made toward Increased teacher a alar lea between 1999 and 1969. The nation increased sslaries 84.4 par cent during that 10-year period while North Carolina Increased salaries by M.4 per cent. "Meanwhile," reports the NCAE Research Department, "North Carolina per capita Income was Increasing faster than Income la all but two other states. Only South Carolina and Vermont outpaced the Tar Heel atate In this vital respect." Things AHE looking Mostly Personal py BKNALL JONCS Th» press work on The Witna Record kit been don* lor us lor unril y«ars by The South Hill Enterprise 1b a venture that KW bMD convenient and profit abi« for both conoerns. We would not ask to be associated with a better (roup th»n those working on The Enterprise and during the years of our association we have formed Tost friendships. This made it doubly hard when ww Vearneo early Saturday that The Enterprise with all Its machinery, other equipment and its mailing list hsd been completely destroyed by fire early Saturday morning. We are Indebted to a telephone call from William Baskervlll for this Information He said he knew thai we would be concerned as our paper was printed In that shop, and It gave us a little more time to make arrangements for the printing of our paper. When 1 called Harry Nanney, business manager of The Enterprise, later |n the afternoon, he said that he was busy trying to find a place where they could resume printing as quickly as possible and that several other printing establishments had offered them surplus Justowrlters to set their type, which is a start to getting out their paper, but only a small start as they are without headllners, camera and make-up tables. He said that he was preparing as I called to phone us. He did not say, but I presume that he will have his press work and camera work done at Blackstone, Va. It is quite possible that he will print a paper this week if he can get enough help from another paper, although he will be greatly handicapped for some time by the loss of his mailing lists. As a rule, newspapers are most helpful to each other in times of trouble, and the Nanneys are finding this true In their case. The South HU1 Enterprise, like The Warren Record, Is a family owned newspaper. Following the death of Mr. Frank Nanney a number of years ago, his three son*, Harry, Frank and Jack, revamped the paper, went offset after visiting our plant and a number of other plants. When they last ailed their 8-page press, we entered In a aeai wun tnem to print our paper. In addition they printed a number of othe# papers, including a paper at Lawrence/ille, Va. South Hill is a gcod business town is a large county and the Nanneys built their circulation to more than 4500, which means a profitable advertising rate for their paper which usually runs from 24 to 30 pages each week. As a result of this and printing other papers and a good Job shop and office supply business The Enterprise grew into aprofitable enterprise. The profits war* plowed back into the business. A third unit was added to the press enabling the printing of a 12-page paper, and bringing the press investment to around |70,000. During the past year they added a $13,000 Job press and only a few weeks ago added a type computer at a cost of around $17,000. With these additions they rebuilt their dark room and were well equipped. I was hoping that the next step would be another unit to their press so they might print 16 pages and allow us to avoid insertions when oar paper goes above 12 pages. I don't know what their loss was, but would estimate it at between $150,000 and $200,000. Neither do I know what their insurance was, but I do know the Nanney brothers. They are young and capable and they will make a comeback. Meanwhile they haw our sympathy. When I learned that The Enterprise had been destroyed, I called The Franklin Times at Loulstmrg and they agreed to print oar paper tor us, but when I compared the slseof the paper with our paper, I found It was narrower, which offered a problem. As a result this week's paper Is being printed In Nashville. For several Weeks my soa, Howard, has been urging me to make an extra copy at our mailing list, pointing oat the experience of Harry Golden when Us mailing list wa* destroyed by a Charlotte fire. I recognised the pood sense of his suggestion, tout procrastinated. But with the experience of The Enterprise before aw, the extra copy of the mailing list Is being made today. It Is (airly obvious to most hunters and fitter men that very little quality prose kas ever been written aboutMieoutdoor?. The i.licits that appear In outdoor magazines hardly rank as enduring literature, but of course, they don't pretend to be significant contributions to the world of letters. u • If you want to know how to catch a fish or shoot a duck, magazine articles are fine, but If you enjoy good literature, you're looking in the wrong place. Nor ara most books about the outdoors much better. Most ara written by people who are sportsmen first and writers last. Over a period of several years, I have been reading and compiling a list of titles which rank several notches above the common run of outdoor writing. Most of It is fiction written on several levels of understanding. That Is, the background or setting is hunting or fishing, but the real meat delves deep into the intricacies of human behavior. Some of it Is humor, most is not. The list Is not long and if you are looking for good reading with an outdoor flavor, you might check your library or bookstore for some of these books. The short stories will be more difficult to locate, but all of them have been Included Li various short story collections. Some of Ernest Hemingway's work Is excellent, and among my favorites are "The Green Hills of Africa" and two short stories, "The Big Two-He arted River" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber." William Faulkner has also written about the outdoors and my favorites are the novelette "The Bear" and a superb short story "The Old People." "The Old People" may be the best deer-hunting story ever writton. Robert Ruark is another writer who has frequently placed his characters m an outdoor setting. Some of RuarVs books —particularly the later onesare surprisingly poor, but two of them make excellent, light reading. I envy anyone reading f>r the first time "The Old Mm and The Boy" and "The Old Man's Boy Grows Older". Vance Bourjaily has written a nrni»N/«liAn K/\/\U AntUlA«l "The Unnatural Enemy." The unnatural enemy Is, of course, man. It Is a fine book about hunting by a writer who deserves more recognition than he's gotten. A new book by William Humphreys called "The Spawning Hun" could become a clas GRAHAM CRACKER COOKIES 1 pk. graham crackers crushed 2 sticks margarine 12 oi.

If you can find them, youll almost certainly en]oy U. S. Anderson's "Turn Ever So Quickly" and Wallace Stegner's "The Blue-Winged Teal." The honorable sport of trout fishing has spawned several excellent volumes, but most are along how-to-do It lines. Even so, If you are a trout fisherman, you will find Vincent Marlnaro's "Modern Dry Fly Code" very well written and interesting. Marlnaro's book was originally published in 1950, but first editions are rare and expensive. It has recently been released by Crown Publishers In New York, and sells for $10.00. There are others, but space Is short, and If you read these you'll be happily busy for awhile anyway. . ' '. ■ Russell Wins Army Commendation Medal CHU LAI, VIETNAM—Specialist four Wayne L. Russell, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Waverly B. Russell, Wise, N. C„ recently received the army co imendation medal ^kile serving with the Amerlcal Division near Chi) Lai, Vietnam. Spec. 4 Russell earned the award for meritorious .service as a mortar crewman in Company A, 1st battalion, 52nd infantry of the division's 198th infantry brigade. He entered the army in November 1969, completed basic training at Ft. Bragg, N. C„ and was stationed at Ft. Polk, La., before arriving in Vietnam. He also has been award Ideas About|Eating F RALEIGH- Bablesoften hava definite ideas about what foods tbay will or will not eat. And a rebellion against certain food* by baby can leave a young mother distraught, believes Diane Fistorl, extension foods specialist, North Carolina Slate University. So she offers these suggestions when introducing solid foods to an infant. Just add one food at a time. Start with a small serving, about 1/2 teaspoon full, and increase the serving slightly at each feeding. Cereals are usually the first prescribed solid foods. Iron enriched cereals are very important in the infant's diet because milk is low in iron and the infant needs a supply of iron in his diet. As solid foods are added, it is Important to include foods that are naturally high in iron, such as leafy, green vegetables, meats and egg yolks. Babies have likes and dislikes. Serve a baby's favorites often; his unfavorltes occasionally. He is more apt to grow to like a food by gradually getting used to its taste. If you force him, he may dislike a food for life. ed the combat Infantryman badge. The specialist isa 1967graduate of North Warren High School. Set a good exarnfle. Even during their first year, babies react to examples Ml fcjr patents and older children. Facial expressions and attitudes expressed toward food should be pleasant ones. Never show your food dislikes In front of the baby. Teach the baby that food food and contentment go together by making mealtime as pleasant as possible. A baby's appetite may be affected by such things as teething. This Is a bad time to Introduce a new food or to serve a food thai baby dislikes. If he Is forced, he may connect mealtimes with unhapplness. Expect a decrease In a child's appetite around his first birthday. He may become finicky and not even want to eat his favorite food. He may only eat half as much as he usually does. Physicians tell us that the baby's growth has slowed and even though he Is bigger, he needs less food then he did when he was in his fast growing period. Bear with the child through this period, the specialist suggests. Experiment with foods to find some that he enjoys. If he eats a lot of one food .)r misses a meal, don't become too concerned. Nutritional deficiencies take some time todevelop. Patronize the advertisers.
