The Associated Press, said the editorial, reported last week that state tourism officials expect the industry — now the third largest, behind tobacco and textiles — to bring in a record $3 billion. Last year, said the Associated Press, tourism brought in $2.7 billion, up 11 per cent over the $2.4 billion in 1980. In its report the Associated Press continued: "People all over the country, all over the world, are discovering North Carolina," says Glenn Mays, travel editor for the North Carolina Division of Travel and Tourism. "The tourism industry is growing in North Carolina because we're telling people what a beautiful state we have. We tell them we live up to our name of 'Variety Vacationland' from the mountains to the coast." .... Mays attributes much of the growth in tourism to an effective advertising program. He points out that each dollar received from tourism is recycled in the actual economy several times. "According to a survey conducted by the tourism office," says the Associated Press, "3.6 million people visited the state's five welcome centers last year. The survey shows that the average visitor stays three nights and spends about $296 for food, lodging and transportation and entertainment." We believe there can be little doubt that the spectacular growth of tourism is in large measure due to an intensive advertising campaign, but without North Carolina's good road system we feel that such growth would not have been possible. To keep it growing and maintaining hundreds of thousands of jobs by hotel and motel personnel, restaurant personnel, and residental growth, it is necessary that our roads be maintained. It is far better that the memory of a tourist may be of effective roads, a view of beautiful mountain scene, or the ocean at sunset, than a broken axle as the result of striking a pothole. This should be remembered when efforts are made to increase th£gasoline tax. Is This What Public Wants? In The Fayetteville Times Over the years, environmentalists have won some, lost some, and the world still turns on its axis. Maybe that accounts for their dismay at the plan to slash the staff of the Environmental Protection Agency by as much as 25 percent, although it is already 900 staffers weaker than it was when President Reagan took office. For the first time, environmentalists find themselves up against an adversary who is not content to maneuver for advantage and temporarily redirect public policy, but who actually intends to win the war for control of America's resources, once and for all. And they are stunned. Their concern is fully justified, but their surprise is not. Were they off somewhere watching ruffed grouse when Candidate Reagan declared, over and over, that environmental protection was one of the biggest contributors to the nation's fiscal stress? Did they believe, all these months, that Secretary of Interior James G. Watt was a loose cannon rolling around on deck, waiting to be lashed down by a commanding officer whose attention had momentarily strayed? Give the President his due. Right or wrong, be is doing exactly what he promised to do: turn public resources and environmental policymaking over to people who would use them to make (Continued on page 3) News Qf 1Q, 25, 4Q Years Ago Looking Back Into The Record Dec. 18,1942 Warren County quotas for tractors, haiTOws, wagons and other farm supplies, have been announced and the Warren County Farm Machinery Rationing Committee will begin taking applications for these items on Monday, Dec. 21, W.

I am not coins to reminisce about diSiiiias in my childhood, and they art happy memories. Instead I am going to comment about a bright spot in a dismal world as the news and media brings heart-warming story after story, which indicate that American citizens are not indifferent to the plight of millions of their suffering fellow citizens because of the depression. The news media also brings to us story after story of the suffering of adults, many of them sleeping in the backs of cars not yet repossessed, some of them, without cars, sleeping under shelters made with scrap cardboard, many of them without money to buy fuel, and many without money to buy food, and some of them living out of garbage cans — the ultimate result of loss of jobs. And these stories also tell us that this Christmas there will be no Santa Claus for thousands of children. ine private sector is beginning to open its heart and its pocketbook to millions erf their fellow citizens who are illclad, hungry and shelterless in a country of plenty. Unfortunately, the need is beyond the ability of the private sector to solve, but happily there is growing indication that our government is beginning to realize its own responsibility to assist in sheltering the homeless and feeding the hungry. There are many charitable organizations in the private sector outside the church and the various civic clubs which seek to lighten the burdens of the poor. There are few doing a better job with a wider range of care than is the Salvation Army. For several years I have been able to send a very modest check at Christmas to this organization. As a result of this, a few days ago I received a letter of appeal from the Henderson branch of the Salvation Army, with a notation that "this traditional program is in addition to the Salvation Army activities supported by the United Way." The letter, addressed to me, reads as follows: "Dear Mr. Jones: "What's a little Christmas teddy bear worth? Not mach to moot people...bnt if yon are 5 year old Tammy.. Jt's priceless. "Your gifts la the past have enabled as to help many children like Tammy and their families.

"Many people find themselves feeling lonely and isolated, particularly when there is holiday activity going on all around them," says Dr. Leo Hawkins, extension human development specialist at North Carolina State University. This is related to the high expectations people hold for the holidays. "The usual problems of living in a family are accelerated, especially around Christmas," the extension specialist says. Because there is so much to be done, there is an increased need for communication, organization, rules and regulations. It is also a time to offer emotional support to other family members and to take care «fs§l&&fcem. These are often weak areas in the famflj^fend problems become worse at a time when people are expecting more. "There is also an increase in symbolic expressions during religious holidays. If a person is not accustomed to this type of expression, he may experience a sense of meaninglessness without realizing where it comes from," Dr. Hawkins points out More people are also under considerable economic strain this year. "Those who don't have the money either go into debt or feel frustrated," Dr. Hawkins says. Going into debt results in anxiety during the holidays followed by depression when the bUls come due. The holiday blues can be lifted if family members and friends are alert. "Try to notice if one person is quieter than usual and go to them. Be sure to include them in everything that's going on," Dr. Hawkins recommends. "Sometimes people don't realize what is happening until tempers flare or someone is crying. They would know if they were in the habit of listening, planning and checking with each other."

Dear Doctor: We have a female cocker that has a ■kia problem which our veterinarians hsve 1st been able to cure. They call it a skla fungus or seborrhea. It is toteraal and she has had all Unds of medicines aad stats. The skin gets scaly in patches and hair pulls out in dumps; ifs like picking a chicken. Bathing once or twice a week seems to be tta only way I can help control It Our dog is IS years old and we've had this problem for around two years now. Answer: Every other dog walking into the veterinarian's office this year has a skin problem. The skin is the "window to the body." It's where many health problems can first be seen. Such problems are frustrating for owners and pets alike. Finding answers requires careful investigation by the veterinarian and careful observation by fiw owner. The place to start for you and other owners whose pets have similar complaints is with good nutrition — a well-balanced diet with Vitamin supplement — and faithfully following the veterinarian's instructions. Screening tests to identify allergic conditions caused by pollens, dust and other substances In the environment are the next step. By carefully observing your pet day to day, you may be able to help by observing at what times and under what conditions the itdng, scratching and hair loss seem to increase in intensity.
