What a wonderful
Christmas the residents
here at the rest home
have had this year. The
^ people in the surroun
ding communities have
really showered us with
gifts and all the Christ
mas goodies we could
1 possibly have wanted.
Everyone has had all
they could eat and food
of every kind has been
sent out to us. There are
bushels and bushels of
fruit and candy ^till here
and we have already
passed out bushels and
bushels in the last two
weeks.
We have been en
joying homemade
cookies and candy, sent
to us by the Lake Gaston
Ladies Club. These
ladies have really made
Christmas special for us
this year, along with
many other groups.
Every resident received
several gifts and every
one has been especially
( happy this week. We are
, going to try to mention
everyone's name or
organization that has
donated anything to the
residents and hope we
don't miss a single one,
but if we do, we will try
and get your name in the
article next week.
A million thanks for
your caring enough to
take time out of your
busy schedules to
remember us. You have
made some very de
serving people very
happy. These are the
people we want to
thank: The Lola Sue
Circle of the Norlina
Baptist Church,
Woman's Auxiliary of
1 Emmanuel Episcopal
Church of Warrenton,
Warren Plains United
Methodist Church,
Young Woman's Class

Also a very special
"Thank You" to the

Church in Vaughan and
to the Lake Gaston
Ladies Club, who have
meant so much to us in
the last year. The
Bethlehem Christian
Church always comes
out the second week in
December and brings a
lot of homemade
goodies and gives a par
ty for the residents.
They always look for
ward to this group
coming and are never
disappointed. The Lake
Gaston Ladies Club has
been visiting us the last
two years and have done
so many nice things for
us it is hard to list every
thing. They brought
lovely gifts for every
resident and also made
homemade cookies for
every one.
These are the ladies
who bring the gifts to
us: Betty Phillips,
Veronica Mullins, Elsie
Stefura, Johnnie Foster,
Jennie Eisloeffel, and
Sarah Drake. Thanks so
much ladies.
I hope I didn't miss
anyone. We try to keep
up with the groups that
visit but sometimes one
is overlooked in the
bustle of Christmas and
for this we apologize.
Many of our residents
are gone home for the
holidays and we know
they will be having a
great time at home. We
just wish it were
possible for everyone to
be able to go home and
spend their holiday with
family and friends. For
many of them, this is the
only home they have
and we are all the
family they have, so we
try to make Christmas a
very special time for
them.
Again, thanks for
everything that has
been donated and for the
cards the residents
received, and for any
other kindness extended
to us. Till next week, a
very Happy New Year
and God bless you all.
4-H Club Meets
ByANGELATERRY
Mrs. Mary Pettaway
gave a demonstration to
the Up and Coming 4-H
Club at their Decem
ber meeting on making
candy in a frying pan.
This was enjoyed by all
members.
The meeting was
called to order by the
president, followed by
all club members
joining in the Pledge of
Allegiance, a song and
the 4-H motto. Old
business was discussed.
New business consisted
of a thank you note from
the Skateeum for
visiting them.
The meeting was then
adjourned. Sixteen
members were present.
The next meeting will be
held at Miss Annie Hen
derson's home.
A computer essay contest sponsored by Rysol Products recently inspired
teachers at Mariam Boyd School to prepare their students a lesson involving
computers and essay writing. Jane Steelman, reading teacher, provided exper
tise and hands-on computer experiences for Eddy Welker's 29 third graders.
Students created music, graphic designs and a "fractured tale" on a computer
supplied by Mrs. Steelman. Later, students used writing skills in Mrs. Welker's
class to write a 50-word essay. By participating in the contest, students will
have a chance to win a computer for the school. Learning about computers
from Jane Steelman (left) are, from left to right, Deidra Cooper, Tanishia
Bullock, William Goode, Shawn Brown and April Hedgepeth.

Eagles End Year's Play
On A Victorious Note
Warren County's
Eagles opened their
holiday break on a hap
py note on Dec. 20 as
they downed visiting
Franklinton by a 65-45
margin.
Kenneth Shaw led
Coach James Howell's
squad with 24 points.
Monte Stevenson and
Derrick Alston each
contributed 14 points for
the winners, and Alston
was credited with
picking off 12 rebounds.
Eric Allen was the
point-leader for Frank
linton with 10. Neither
team experienced a
good shooting night
from the field. Warren
County hit 23 of 64 at
tempts for a 36 percent
showing, while
Franklinton hit on 16 of
43 for 37 percent ac
curacy. At the charity
stripe, Warren County
shot 45 percent, while
Franklinton hit on 74
percent of their at
tempts.
Warren County cut
down on its fouls, and in
the turnover depart
ment, where they were
averaging 21, they had
15. The Eagle defense
created 29 turnovers on
Franklinton's part, the
most for the year.
The Eagles improved
their record to 3-2 and
will not see action again
until Jan. 3 when they
host Northwest.
In the girl's
preliminary, Franklin
ton rode on the 15-point
effort of Earlene Allen
to post a 30-21 victory
over the Lady Eagles,
now 2-3 on the year.
Gloria Kearney led War
ren County with 11
points. The Lady
Jackets trailed early,
falling behind by 8-1 at
the end of the first half,

and never seriously

Clarence Watson had
12 points and six
rebounds to lead Coach

charges. Bobby Kear
ney had six rebounds to
go along with his seven
points for the Eagles,

tributed six points.
Save Your Money
With Large Cuts
The advertised price
for rib eye is actually af
fordable, but when you
get to the store you see
this price per pound is
for a 1ft- to 12-pound
package. The butcher
will cut it into steaks for
you, but that total price
is forbidding.
"If your divide that
large cut into the num
ber of steaks you will get
out of it, you will
probably be paying less
than $2 per serving. This
may be the only way
many people will be able
to afford to put these
more expensive cuts of
beef on their tables. The
problem is that many
people can't afford the
original outlay," says
Rachel Kinlaw, exten
sion food specialist at
North Carolina State
University.
Beef prices rose all
through 1983, says the
extension specialist.
Since 25 to 30 percent
of the average food
dollar in this country
goes for meat, any
money saved in this
department will make a
difference on the
budget.
Less expensive cuts
also come in family
sized packages. They
are cheaper on a cost
per serving basis, and
the supermarket can
sell them at lower prices
because it has trimmed
its costs for packaging.
Round and pot roasts,
marinated and cooked
with moisture, make
delicious roasts or
steaks, says Mrs.
Kinlaw.
Large cuts of meat
wrapped in vacuum
packaging do appear in
a number of super
markets. The beef car
cass is traditionally
divided into nine parts
or "primal" cuts. Sub
primals in super
markets are usually the
best part of these cuts
with most of the bone
and other waste trim
med away.
They look different.
The meat is not a bright
red, because it has been
vacuum packed at the
packing plant. Meat
gets its red "bloom"
when it is exposed to the
air.
Subprimals have
never been frozen and
will keep in the refrig
erator for at least a
week. Most likely, they
will either be frozen in
the original vacuum
packaging or cut up into
meal-sized pieces,
wrapped airtight and
then frozen.
Consumers may
notice an unusual odor
when they first open the
vacuum packing. This is
caused by a natural
chemical reaction, and
is not an indication that
the meat is bad. It will
disappear within an
hour.

Reduce Erosion,
Farmers Are Urged
By LEONARD KILIAN
District Technician
Warren Soil and Water Conservation District
With the soil loss in Warren County at a high rate,
farmers should use every practice practical to
reduce soil erosion. Conservation tillage is an effec
tive way to control soil loss, save labor and cost, and
still produce a high yield.
Conservation tillage involves the use of tillage
methods that leave a protective cover of crop
residue on the surface. With no-till, the crop is plan
ted into existing sod, cover crop, or crop residue,
thereby eliminating previous and subsequent tillage
operations. Conservation is well Adapted to the soils
of Warren County.
Conservation tillage reduces erosion by in
creasing infiltration and reducing damage from
runoff. This method also improves the organic con
tent and the water-holding ability of the soil.
With increased water storage, a crop can survive
a dry season much better with no-till than a crop
planted with conventional tillage.
With conservation tillage, you can increase the
crop yield, quality, and at the same time reduce
production costs.
If you need additional information, please contact
the Soil Conservation Service in Warrenton.
