Balcor County Agricultural Agantt iVaYivifil Land - Use Planning is the theme for a series of three half ? hour programs to be presented on Statewide Educational Television Channel 4 on February 4-11- and 18 at 7:30 P.M. The first program will be entitled "Our Changing Communities". The second will be a panel discussion on "Solving Land ? Use Problems." The third is on "Land ? Use Planning assistance for Local Governments. This is a timely topic and should be of interest to Municipal elected officials, directors of local agencies, civic clubs, womens club and other groups interested in the orderly development of their town or county. Call a friend and invite him to view the piogram with you. Each spring we have a number of calls about fire blight in apples, pears, crabapples and Pyracanthas This is a bacterial disease that kills blooms, spurs and sometimes entire twigs. It gives the appearance that the entire tree might be dying. This does not usually happen though. The disease overwinters in living tissues near the margins of overwintered cankers on the larger branches. The infection occurs about the time the trees bloom but the damage does not show up until later in the spring. There is no sure control of the disease but good sanitation practice help. Also a streptomycin spray at rates of 60 to 100 ppm applied at S day intervals through bloom will slow down the infection. Some varieties of these trees have more resistance than others so you should ask about this when new trees arc purchased. Hoke County swine produccis arc invited to attend a scries of swine meetings in Lumberton. Many changes are taking place in the swine industry and this scries of meetings will help to inform producers of the latest information. The scries is as follows: Feb. 2 * "Diseases and Parasites of Swine" by Dr. R. F Bchlow, Extension Vetcunarian. Feb. 9 ? "Swine Housing" by Bynum Driggcrs. Extension Agricultural Engineering Specialist. Feb. 16 ? "Managing The Sow Herd" by D. C. S p r u ill. Extension Animal Husbandry Specialist. Feb. 23 ? "Marketing Top Hogs and" Feeder Pigs" by John Richardson, Assistant Agricultural Extension Agent. Maich 2 ? "Recoids and Economics" by Clyde Weathers, Extension Economist. The February 2 and 9 meetings will be held at the Juyccc Fairground and the sillier meetings will be held in the County Agent's Office on bth and Elm Streets in Lumberton. All the meetings will start at 7:00 P.M. Swmc producers interested in attending arc asked to contact Talmadge S. Baker, Agricultural Extension Agent, Phone No. 875 - 3461 Hog Cholera - Program is being made in further reduction of quarantine areas. Both communication and cooperation in this program appears to be commendable. The acceptance of a pcisonal responsibility on the part of everyone concerned with swine production will be necessary to assure continued progress toward eradication. Good reporting is a must. Sick hogs should be checked through the Diagnostic Laboratory. All due caution should be taken to prevent the spread of any and all swine diseases. Garbage feeding and improper cooking continues to be responsible for the spread of swine diseases. Hogs should not be allowed to run loose. There is a State Stock Law that is in effect east of Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. Hogs running loose should be reported to proper authorities Cape Hatteras is the nearest point to the Gulf Stream north of mid-Florida. The largest blue marlin caught off the Atlantic Coast was the 8l0>pounder taken off Hatteras in 1962. Albemarle Sound has the second largest population of striped bass in the nation. It is exceeded only by Chesapeake Bay. Girl Scouts Hold Workshop Here Jan. 21st. Mrs. Phyllis Robeson, Girl Scout Trainer and Field Director for Harnett, Lee and Moore counties, and Mrs. Winston McRae, new Trainer for Hoke County and one of Hoke County's troop organizers, conducted u Badge Workshop, Jan. 21st, at the Methodist Church. Following the regular Girl Scout Neighborhood Association Meeting, the workshop was held for the benefit of the leaders and consultants of Junior, Cadette, and Senior troops. The badges under discussion arc Provicicncy Badges and are presented to the Girl Scouts after they complete the work required foi each badge. Local volunteer program consultants were called upon to help the troops in areas where special instruction is needed. Mrs. McRae recently finished extensive training at the Pines of Carolina Girl Scout Council in Raleigh. She will train new leaders and conduct future workshops. Hoke County is very fortunate to have her as a Trainer. With the shortage of Trainers in the council, it has been a problem to have training locally. Previously, Hoke County volunteers have had to rely in training obtained in other counties. Mrs. McRae, of Route 3, is an LPN at McCain, has one son and one daughter, Sharonc, who is an active Girl Scout in Troop No. 397. The next workshop, on Troop Management, is scheduled on Feb. 18th, at 8:00 p.m., in the Methodist Church. It is available for all troop leaders and consultants. WASHINGTON -? Confronted with a new national mood and changing priorities, the President's State of the Union Address eloquently presented the challenges of the new decade. The Address, however, did not blueprint proposed solutions to our problems. The Chief Executive said he would propose his remedies in a dozen or more special messages to 'the Congress later in the session. There was much common ground between the sentiments of the President and the Nation on what the problems are. With respect to foreign policy, he called for an end uC-.the Vietnam War through a just peace. He announced also that his foreign policy would deal with the realities of a world that has changed much in the last twenty ? five years, and said the time has come for us to "reduce our involvement and our presence in other nations' affairs." In essence, what the President appeared to be saying was that we have strained our economy and our resources in trying to act as the world's policeman, an opinion which I have expressed many times during the last two decades. The two other key issues mentioned by the President - ? inflation and crime control - ? certainly strike a responsive note in the minds of Americans. 1 am gratified that the President announced that he would present a balanced budget for fiscal 1971. He correctly blamed deficit Federal spending which has occurred in many prior years as the cause of today's rising prices. In calling for a broad attack on crime, the President was emphasizing anew what most Americans have urged for some time. It should be remembered, however, that neither of these most pressing domestic problems has yet been responsive to simple rhetoric. Any relief in these areas will require the cooperative efforts of our entire governmental structure. Congress and the Executive branch must work together to control Federal spending and inflation. Both of these branches of the Government sorely need the cooperation of the' Judicial branch to cope with crime. The President laudably gave environmental pollution control a priority status in the Administration's catalogue of programs. Unquestionably, there is much need to continue the major programs enacted by the Congress in this area in recent years. There was some friction between Congress and the Administration at the last session when Congress raised the budget request for anti - pollution control. It remains to be seen just how the President $149,000 Rise In Hoke County Pension Checks (Special to the News ? Journal) NEW YORK, Jan. 19 What will the new social security legislation, liberalizing pension rates, do for residents of Hoke County? How much more will they be receiving from Washington per year? What will the average payment be, compared with what it was last year? It is estimated that the change in retirement benefits, approved last month by Congress, will add approximately S 149,000 a year . to the amount that local residents have been collecting. The estimate is based upon the latest statistics for the county, released by the Social Security Administration. They show the number of retired and disabled workers, as well as dependent relatives, on the pension rolls, and the amounts paid them. All of them will be aided by the legislation. Those who have been getting no more than S660 a year, the minimum, will now get S759. The ones who were receiving SI,320 a year will go to S 1,518 Those who lave been at the S2.I00 level will not collect S2.4I5. What is the most that is paid? Under the new schedule, a worker who has just retired at age 6S and hai had maximum taxable earnings will now receive S2.278 a year if single. If married and his wife is 65 or older, their total will be S3.4I6. It is expected that there will be further revision in the social security laws sometime this year. In temporarily dropping the Senate's call tor a major increase in minimum payments there was a tacit understanding in Congress that this and other issues, left hanging, would be taken up in 1970. As of the beginning of last year, pension payments in Hoke County averaged S733 per year per recipient, the Social Security Administration reports. Under the new setup, they will collect approximately S843 on average. "?">As for the total payments throughout the local area, based upon the number who were on the pension rolls at last count, they will amount to some SI, 145,000 this year, a considerable rise over the prior total of $996,000. Although the increase was effective as of January 1st. the checks covering the increments will not arrive until April. Witch For Falsi Rovtnui Officer* Or A|ints. Greensboro?Taxpayers here should watch out for unscrup ulous individuals posing as IRS employees to extort money on the pretense of satisfying unpaid taxes, J. E. Wall, Dis trict Director of Internal Rev enue for North Carolina, cau tioned. Wall said all bonaflde em ployees of the Internal Reve nue Service who contact the public carry distinctive identi fication. Ask to see these cre dentials if the person who claims to be an IR8 employee approaches you and does not identify himself. will seek to implement existing Federal efforts to purify the air we breathe and the water we drink. While the President advocated new solutions for most of the nation's ills, and should be commended for so doing, his message shed no light on one of the most troublesome problems of this hour ? ? the crisis of the public schools and what we should do to improve that situation. It would have been laudable if the President had urged that we take a realistic approach to this problem also. Indeed, it would be refreshing if the nation embarked upon a new policy which emphasized education as the prime function of the public schools. Men In Service U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant John L.
