Union County Negro Agent P.

damage to Burns’ permanent pas
tures, and with some good tempor
ary grazing production would have
been up throughout the year. In
the future Burns plans to use both
permanent and temporary pasture.

HERE ARE TWO MORE AGENCIES
PARTICIPATING IN UNITED FUND
ASHA is a national voluntary
agency which, for 40 years, has
been working in the areas of
health, welfare, and education.
ASHA was born of the need in
many areas to combat, through
education and legal action, com
mercialized prostitution and the
the spread of venereal diseases.
More recently, increasing empha
sis has been put on education for
personal and family living, and
ASHA has done pioneer work in
preinduction education.
In a general sense, everyone
benefits because as ASHA helps to
raise the moral tone of any com
munity, it affects the entire coun
try. More specifically, the youth
of this nation are benefiting from
the work ASHA is doing with
teachers and student teachers,
from ASHA’s work to control ve
nereal diseases, and from ASHA’s
services to the Armed Forces. Hun
dreds of communities throughout
the country have received tangi
ble aid from ASHA in eliminat
ing vice areas.
The program of the USS is con
ducted in some ports through
building-centered program is used
where need for services appears to
be steady and of considerable du
ration; ship-centered programs,
where the need is currently heavy
but duration is in doubt. Build
ing-centered programs usually be
come self-supporting because they
include the income producing ac
tivities of a PX and of providing
lodging, food and beverages for
pay. Ship-centered programs,
which render only special services
have no income producing activi
ties.
The program of services to these
merchant seamen are classified as
follows:
—Planned recreation and enter
tainment, including an organized
volunteer hostess program.
—Lodging, food and beverages.
—Personal and family welfare
services.
—Ships and library services.
—Stockade services.
—Hospital and convalescent
services.
—Communication services.
—PX services.
United Service Organization
USO is a voluntary agency
through which the people of this
nation may assist in serving the
religious, spiritual, social, welfare,
recreational and educational needs
of the men and women in the arm
ed forces. In peace and war, USO
preserves and strengthens the ties
between the members of the armed
forces and the civilian community.
Today, as before, USO is recogniz
ed as a “home away from home”
for men and women in uniform
everywhere.
President Eisenhower, USO’s
Honorary Chairman, speaking of
its program, said, . . This work
must go forward, for the happi
ness of the individual men and wo
man in our armed services, for
the furtherance of our country’s
security.”
The need for USO is based on
the fact that more than 3,000,000
men and women in this country are
now in uniform almost half of
them overseas, and there is no in
dicatipn that the number will les
sen appreciably in le foreseeable
future. Most ablebodied Ameri
can boys many not yet born
for years to come will be called
upon to spend part of their lives in
service. The USO extends the
boundaries of every city and town
to insure that the qualities of char
acter developed through the home,
church, school and hometown
agencies will be preserved. There
are approximately 137,152 Carolina
boys and girls now serving in the
armed forces.
The USO national campaign goal
for 1956 is $13,934,444. Attain-
The Zebulon Record
ment of this goal will assure the
continuation of present operation
and the establishment of addition
al units required to meet urgent
needs for off-duty services to serv
ice personnel here and abroad. This
sum is also needed to send more
Camp Shows overseas. Inclusion
of USO in local campaigns means
that “home-town dollars” follow
our “hometown youth” in uniform.
There are 16 USO Clubs in the
Carolinas.
HIGHLIGHTS
(Continued from Page 1)
Mrs. Frances Tucker said that
the weekend for the Tuckers was
one of the most interesting ones
they have ever had. She regretted
having her guest leave, wishing
that she could have stayed longer.
She said that her guest was
used to and enjoyed highly sea
soned foods, and was very much
delighted with the shrimp creole
Mrs. Tucker makes so well. Ham
ranked highly with the little In
dian maiden, too, Mrs. Tucker
said.
•
Mrs. Margaret Cannady said
that they “had such a good time”
with their guests for the weekend.
“It was delightful.”
Mrs. Cannady laughed when
she told of serving her guests rice,
which they relished and said was
cooked as if it were in their home
land. This was minute rice, not the
old fashioned kind.
“I simply couldn’t tell them it
was minute rice,” Margaret laugh
ed. “All during the meal I was
so afraid that Armstrong or Drew
was going to spill the beans. They
left without knowing that they
had eaten the quick-cooking rice
instead of the old-fashioned kind.”
•
Mrs. Inez McNabb’s guest was a
very accomplished musician, a
master of the guitar. He was also
very versed in the finer arts.
Mrs. McNabb said that he had
never eaten okra and the okra
dish that she prepared for him de
lighted and intrigued him very
much. She further stated that he
was very much impressed with
American food.
“He said that he was really
thrilled when he found his host
waiting for him,” Mrs. McNabb
said. “This young man said that he
was so afraid nobody would be
there to claim him. He said that
it was so very thrilling to hear
the name of his host called out
when he came to Zebulon. It was
a wonderful experience for all of
us.”
