It is' common knowledge that

our youth first learn to underst-'

respect for individual differences
that are basic to our democratic
way of life. Women are primarily
responsible for , maintaining the
home and in the rapidly changing
pattern of modern day living, ho

signed to meet that need.

things Home Demonstration mem
bers can do.
Besides the home demonstration
agent over 70.0,000 women serve as
local leaders in the United States.
One of the most effective ways
of reaching many hqmemakers is
through group meetings. About
million women are training to im
prove their homemakjg skills and
abilities through educational pro
grams in over '66,000 such groups.
Though home demons;ration a-
gents do some direct teachings in
home demostration groups, the lo
cal leaders system is an import
ant feature of home demonstration
work. Since there are many train
ing schools for leaders, and wo
men assume different leadership
roles each year,' this method of
carrying on extension work has be
come an important means of -developing
strong community leader
ship. The home demonstration program
gives us the tools and know-how
to build tomorriw's world and it
is up to us to use them to be
assured of a better world.

DUPLIN COUNTY FARMERS URGED
NOT BRING IN TOBACCO PLANTS
FROM WITCHWEED AREA
Duplin County farmers are war
ned to not bring in toba?co plants
from witchweed areas. Roberson,
Columbus and Bladen Counties and
other Counties in the Border Belt
Area are quarantined for witch
weed. It is illegal to move tobacco
plants from those counties unless
a certificate is obtained from the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
There might still be danger in bri
nging witchweed in to Duplin
County on plants even though they
meet the requirements of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture and
No Old Age PENSION In Duplin County
Duplin County has a large num
of people who are 65 years of age
or older. Quite a few of these
citizens visit the Welfare Depart
ment and express desire to sign up
for their Old Age Pension. An Old
Pension program does not exist in
this County, but an Old Age As
sistance program is in effect. Old
Age Pension would in?lude every
person 85 years of age or over,
but Old Age Assistance only in
clude person 65 or over who are
in need because they do not have
food, clothing and other necessi
ties. Any person who is 65 or over
has the Tight to apply for Old Age
Assistance. Just being 65 is not
the determining factor as to whe
ther he or she is accepted for a
monthly -payment. The real reason
for acceptance of anyone for OAA
is need and this need is determined
on an individual basis.
The Welfare Department has
people who apply for some assis
tance, who have more than enough
resources to meet their n.'eds as
set up in the Welfare laws. When
the individual is told that he is
not eligible, from the Standpoint
of need to receive a ?heck, he
sometimes1 becomes quite upset. At
this point he usually says that he
thought the Old Age Pension was
for everybody who is 65 years or
over. Then, the worker who is
talking to the person has to ex
plain that the program is based
on need ad being 65 is only one re-
quirement. This is not always
easy for the person to accept, be
cause he has probably heard all
of his life that he could receive
his Old Age Pension when he was
65 years old.
Another factor which is very
hard for the older person to see
it the need of the Welfare Depart
ment to know the income of re
latives with them in the home. The
income of a son or daughter living

DEAR MISTER EDITOR
Me and my old lady heard a
mighty powerful sermon up at the
country church Sunday. These cou
ntry preachers git right down to
rock bottom about things. The
few times I've been in a city
Dhurch I couldn't figger out half
the time who the good parson
was shooting at. But it ain't no
trouble to sight the target when a
counry preacher takes his text.
And when a city preacher is
bagging a few birds, the country
parson is shooting at the whole
covey. Fer instant, Sunday he was
aiming at hypocrites. That took
in about everybody in the church ,
except me and my old lady and
sometimes I ain't too sure about i
her.
Another thing about country pre
achers. If he's out sick or gone
visiting among other flocks fer a
couple Sundays, he starts right
back where he left off and brings
things right up to now, all in one
sermon. Sometimes it takes him
two hours, but a country preacher
on Sunday morning has got more
time than Congress has got inves
tigations.
Speaking of Congress, I see whe
re they ,is talking about cutting
income taxes. I don't pay no at
tention to such talk. In a election
year this gits as routine as raising
the flag over the post office ever
morning. Taxes and death is un
avoidable, and we're mighty lucky
death cant git no worse ever ,time
Congress meets.
But I got a lot of sympathy f er
this present Congress. They've
got a heap of serious decisions to
make,, on everything from runnig
again to claimlg territorial rights
to the moon.- And back home we've
got our decision problems, too.
We'w got to decide If Congress
is deciding right, and! on top of
all our , lthr redding, come fall
and w got to decide whether to go
fer,, one point or two after ever
touchdown. Tlus la a year oi 6
cislon and that' for sure, , ,
PRICE TEN CENTS
a cerlificate is issued with them.
At the present time witchweed is
known to be on seven 7) farms in
Duplin County. Wit?hweed can do
a great deal of damage to corn and
other grass type crops and it is
very hard to eradicate once it gets
on a farm . Therefore, tobacco far
mers and other farmers are urged
to not bring in tobacco plans or
other plants from the witchweed
areas in Southeastern North Car
olina or Northeastern South Car
olina. with an OAA applicant or person
who is already receiving is quite
important in deciding the individ
ual's need.
Some receivers of OAA fell that
it is their pension and do not see
any reason to notify the Welfare
Department if they receive money
from some other sources or have a
change of situation which might
mean that they could no longer
receive the OAA check.
It is very important that each
person reveal whether he or she
is receiving money from any o
the sources such as Social security
payments and checks from the
Veterans' administration. The true
need of a person cannot be deter
mined until all of the needs and re
sources have been fully discussed.
The workers in the Welfare
Dept. like to be able to depend
upon the applicant to give all of
the information to decide whether
or not they are eligible. A very
human thing which some of our
older citizens tend to do is exag
gerate their need and understate
the resources which are available
to them.
If such a program at Old Age
Pension were functioning it would
mea security to all of our oWer
friends. Presently the Old Age As
sistance prigram only benefits our
older people who are in need.

Chitllin Switch
The fellers up at the country
store Saturday night was debat
ing what makes a man go into
politics anyhow. Ed Doolittle said
he'd been waching 'em fer 40 years
and he always noted that when
ever a feller walks too fast to
plow, is too light fer heavy work
and too heavy fer light work he
always ends up in politics.
I see in the paper this morning
where a ear specialist named Dr.
Aram Glorig from California says
putting a hi-fi unit in a juke box
is a waste of money. He claims
the average human ear ain't de
licate enough to catch the extra
quality. That's the first time I
ever knowed the juke box crowd
was interested m quality, l always
thought they was interested in no
thing but noise. If you read the
papers you 11 learn a lime some
thing ever day. The only thing
that beats the newspaper fer lear
ning things is to keep your ear
tuned to the telephone on your
party line. Fer instant. I heard
some woman telling another one
that this was Rita Hayworth's
fifth marriage. All the time I
thought it was her eighth.
