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

considerably, Senator Muskie and the
Democrats seem likely to make a strong
bid tor the presidency two years from now.

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

excellent volumes, but most

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.

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.
