EDITORIAL j
EDITOR'S NOTE: This little yarn was first
published in THE STATE, a North Carolina
magazine, in 1933. Although it has been published in
The News-Record years ago, I thought it funny
enough to republish:
T I may sound lunin u ou .uul in mc but it was
- almost liagiL to t he people who were involved
in Ihe incident
It happened in the Stale I heater, in Raleigh
I here's a certain gentleman in Raleigh (we'll
call him Mr Brown, tor the sake ot convenience)
who weighs well over 2(H) pounds One night last
week he went home to supper and lound that his
wife had prepared backbone and dumplings- a
dish of which he is paiticulaily fond.
So he sat down at the table and goiged himself
until he could hold no moie.
Then he suggested that they go to Ihe State
I heater and see a picture Mrs Drown was agree
able, so down town they went
Making Himself Comfortable
1 hey found seats at about the center of the
theater and after they had settled themselves com
fortably to enjoy the picture, Mr Brown began to
feel that his belt was tixi tight. Inasmuch as the
theater was dark, he didn't hesitate to unloosen it
But even then he didn't feel exactly right: there
was still loo much pressure around his middle
He had on a pair of trousers with a zipper at
the front, so he proceeded to run the dipper jigger
down a few inches
After that he felt tine, and gave a huge sigh of
relief as he prepared to enjoy Ihe picture
F.vcrything went along line lor ten or hllccn
minutes and Ihen a lady, sitting on the same aisle,
about three or four seats away, decided thai she
had seen all she wanted of the show jnd prepared
to leave Ihe people sitting nct to her obligingly
rose in order lo make way for hei When she ap
proached Mr Brown, he loo rose lo his feel And
then he suddenly remembered lh.it his zipper was
unfastened, so he reached down hurriedly lo pull
the Jigger up
When he did, he caught Ihe lady's diess in ihe
zipper and eouldn I work the thing up or down to
save his life
Vie felt a tug at her dress and turned around
lo give him a hard look She felt another lug,
thereupon she leaned forward and hissed "What
are you trying to do''"
That attracted Mrs Browns attention She
turned to her husband and whispered hoarsely
"John, what are you doing to the lady ''"
"No! a thing,'' whispered back John
"He is loo," said the lady "He's lugging at my
dress."
Mrs. Biowr half way rose Irom her seal "Turn
her loose this instant!" she commanded "What
ever in the world has come over you9"
"1 can't turn her loose'" Mr Brown protested
"Why not?"
"Her dress is caught in my pants "
Mrs. Brown gasped, and so did the other lady
People sitting behind them were beginning to get
impatient and there were cries of "Sit down!" and
"Down in front!"
Mr. Brown began to perspire freely. He tugged
at that zipper for all he was worth, but the more
, ' ' he tugged, the more firmly the lady's dress became
,. entangled in its meshes.
&''-' "What are you-aO trying to do?" asked a gentle
maa sitting directly behind Mr. Brown.
"Her dress is caught in my pants!" hissed Brown.
v''.;. "Good Lord!" said the maa behind, aad after
that he cfidni say another word.
"Do somcthingr insisted the lady.
"I'm doing aD I can!" gasped Mr. Brown, "but
' it's getting worse and worse afl the time."
The principal reason for
farmers' participation In the
set-aside programs on cotton,
feed grain, and wheat
programs Is to be eligible for
price support and to earn
program payments. Com
mercial growers depend on
these features of the programs
to assure them a reasonable
return from their crop.
There are also certain other
very beneficial "fringe
benefits" that farmers may

Letter to
the Editor
Mr Story
I wish you would print this in
The News Record in response
to the article Mr. R.W. Ponder
wrote to Dr. L.C. Holshouser.
Mrs. Ponder states that in
1967-68-69 the Madison County
sheriff's department placed
deputies at the Gulf station
across the street from the
ABC store in Hot Springs.
I was second deputy during
this period of time. I was
never placed there by the
sheriff. I know of no one else
being placed there.
Sure wish Mr. Ponder would
name the deputies who were
placed as he puts it so they
could come forth to either
deny or verify this fact, ,
Mr. Ponder and Mr. An
derson accuse the ABC board
as the state board at least as
being a political thing.
I don't know how political
the state board of ABC is but
the accusation by Mr. Ponder
against the former sheriff's
department is merely a
political thing

gain by making wise use of
acreage set aside under the
programs. Many farmers
carry out needed conservation
measures that will improve
the cropland for future use.
In 1973 producers were
given the option to harvest hay
or graze set-aside acreage
with a reduction in payment
Farmers electing to utilize
their set-aside must notify
their local ASCS office prior to
starting haying or grazing.
Possibly the most important
use that can be made of set
aside acreage is to provide
grazing during the fall and
winter months. This acreage
may be grazed after October 1
without a reduction in
payment. This gives livestock
and dairy farmers an op
portunity to provide sup
plementary grazing. If sup
plementary grazing is
properly seeded and fertilized,
it can add substantially to the
forage production on any
farm.
Farmers are urged to take
advantage of these fringe
benefits. Wise use of set-aside
acreage can add considerably
to any farmer's income. In
North Carolina slightly more
than 200,000 acres were set
aside under the 1973 feed grain
and wheat programs.

NEW YORK (ED) There's
an old adage . . . "take good
care of your car and it'll take
food care of you." When it
comes to your car's cooling
system the "saying" makes a
lot of sense. For if the system
isn't working properly, it's
likely you won't be going far.
What to do? Follow this
maintenance plan (suggested
by David Herbert, head of
Du Pont's development pro
gram for anti-leak "Zerex"
summer coolant) and over
heating won't be one of your
driving worries.
Your car's coolinjr system
is designed to keep ensrine
temperature under control.
So check appropriate parts
including thermostat, hoses,
traskets, fan belt and radia
tor cap. Check radiator fluid
for rust or corrosion If there
is any evidence of foreifn
matter in the tank, flush it
out If the coolant has hfen in
the system for more than a
year, it should he replaced A
50 percent solution of a sum

CAMPING TIPS
Getting away from it all
with a weekend cam pout h
one of the most relaxing and
inexpensive forms of recrea
tion available to the city
bound family. But to enjoy
your visit to the wild, first
develop a few outdoor skills
such as campflre building.
The fire is the true "heart"
of your camp, so gathering
wood and building a campflre
should be your first order of
business when you reach your
camp site. Collect kindling
small dead branches and twigs
-and larger pieces of wood up
to about eight inches in diam
eter. Pile the fuel at least four
feet from the fire site.
If you're stuck in traffic
and worried about overheat
ing : 1 1 Turn off the air con
ditioner This will reduce the
heat load in your car about
25 deirrees, 21 Take vou car
out of t?ear and sliirhtlv rev
the motor in neutral .'i 1 Turn
the heater on' This will re
duce the heat load even more,
and it's better to have over
heated passengers than an
overheated entcine
If you follow a regular
maintenance program and
these driving tips, it will help
you beat the overheating
problem this summer

Jesus The Door,
Faith The Key
By NAN FISHER
Theres only one way into Heaven
Yesterday today and evermore
One Lord, one faith one baptism
One Jesus, He is the Door.
Noah built an ark on dry land
Way back in days of yore.
He built it long and he built it wide
at
But he only made one door.
God said He would send a flood
Folks laughed and threw word stones
But Noah believed and was ready
His wife and sons and their little ones.
This is an old old story
But an example for us today. ,
It won't be water but fire next time
And it could be Just any day.
Faith is like wind, you can't see it
It has no sound, no taste, smell or feed
We can't see God face to face
But by faith we know He is real.
God's Word is our authority
Yesterday today and evermore
Faith is not the key until you use it
But Jesus is always the Door.

Nonetheless, although Males cxiat for measuring what hab.es , an

So l)r Barnard set out to develop one. She knew that the children
of poorlv educated parents usually did H,rlv in s, hool while the
ch.U ren of highly educated parents usually did well there And
tnghK educated parents were generally also the ones will, the money
Such broad indicators told her little about how parents raised their
babies. I o find out more about the specific of babv learning she
decided to videotape mothers with their babies.
Borrowing her anproach from research done over the last III years

Ihe mothers knew they were being flIcd. but the mirror
prevented intrusions by technicians and equipment on mothers and

Barnard and her associates will follow 2(1(1 children from birth until

If the study confirms Dr. Barnard s work so far, she II
compile her questions inlo a scale for parents. The parenting
scale will reveal any problems the baby might have and pin
