PRI/.1-: POSY Midnight looks over his new home this week. He was won by Miss Jean Thorn burg on July 4 at the Faycttcville Speedway. Specialist F ears Rise In Pesticide Accidents North Carolina could be in for an increase this year in the number of tragic accidents that occur annually among the users of pesticides. This warning comes from Dr. Gerald Weekman, who is in charge of extension entomology programs at North Carolina State University. Dr. Weekman and health officials are fearful of an increase in pesticide accidents because of some of the newer pesticides now available. "The trend is toward pesticides are actually more dangerous for the person applying them," Weekman said. DDT is an example. DDT has become more and more unacceptable because of the way that it builds up in the environment, causing all kinds of contamination problems. But DDT is a relatively safe chemical for the user, Parathion, which is being substituted in some cases for DDT, disappears almost completely after a few days. Therefore, it is considered better for the environment. But parathion is 10 times more deadly to man when taken orally than DDT. It is almost 200 times more deadly when absorbed through the skin. "We are seeing a trend," Weekman explained, "from the long lasting chlorinated-hy drocarbons to the more short lived organophosphates and carbamates. With a few exceptions, however, these newer chemicals are more acutely toxic than the chlorinated hydrocarbons. We are switching from chemicals that pose a long range danger to the environment to chemicals that pose a more immediate danger to the user." Weekman is particularly concerned about the dangers of dermal toxicity - pesticides being sbsorbed through the skin. "Many people feel that they are safe if they keep pesticides out of their eyes ana mouth. But many pesticides, and especially some of the newer ones, are extremely dangeroug. when allowed to remalrvln contract with a person's skin. 'This is why a person should always read the label carefully before using a pesticide. If the label suggests a bath ahd change of clothes after use, then he should by all means follow these suggestions." Manteo Children's Theatre Presents Winnie-The-Pooh by RICK GRAY MANTtO.

Crush all smok?s rjesrirl mi# rndi Asked to name the "oldest >!lcgc - rivalry in the United ,atcs," a contestant on a ?levision quiz show with >ngue-in-cheek answered, jeh'lll a hi rti|j rejjfljouP* Unfortunately there is all jo much truth in that atcment. In the minds of tany people, whether people, hethcr on or off campuses, :ience and religion are reconcilable enemies who, hen they are not doing battle. Kist by simply ignoring the listance of each other. This picture, however is mply not accurate. Many :ientists are also practicing hristians or subscribers to 3me meaniful religious faith, hey see no necessary conflict etween these two perspectives f life. In fact, many of these, ecause of what they know of sience, are even more deeply ommitted to a faith. Many Christians or ubscribers to some meaningful eligious faith. They see no eccssary conflict between hese two perspectives of life, n fact, many of these, because if what they know of science, re even more deeply ommitted to a faith. Many Christians-and thers-have been deeply influenced and helped by the vork of a Jesuit priest who was iy profession a brilliant liologist. Pierre Teilhard de 'hardin, not only found no nherent contradiction between ds faith and hit science, but, in act, found that each spoke to he other. Hit scientific beliefs nhanced his faith and hit faith nriched his science. The more his science evealed about the world, the nore Teilhard was awed at the hought of the God who had sreated such a world. Many of is today share his wonder as ve learn of the marvels in the vorld about us: the intricacy >f the "genetic code," the sower in the laser beam, the vonders of the tiny atom, etc. The ancient Psalmist had :ried: When I look at thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon, and the stars which thou has established; What is man that thou art mindful of him... (Psalms 8:3,4a) Today we arc no less awed when we consider the universe. The telescope at Mt. Palomar enables men to photograph planets over one billion light years away. What this means in miles is equivalent to 186,000 (miles per second) times 60 seconds times 60 minutes times 24 hours times 365 days times 1,000,000,000 years. We haven't the slightest idea how many stars or planets there are. We can well understand a certain astronomer who, when he was asked how he could believe in God, replied, "I keep enlarging my idea of God.' Many of us today are finding that science continues to force us to enlarge our idea of God! As Teilnard contemplated the world he seemed to find it telling him that in its five to ten thousand million years of existence, even from its very beginning, it followed a "unidirectional trend," it evidenced a purpose toward which it is moving. Not that he was alone in that conclusion. Dr. Kirkley Mather of Harvard has said, "We live in a universe, not of chance or caprice, but of law and order," and Albert Einstein, hardly a religionist in the ordinary sence of the term, also observed: "Certain it is that a conviction akin to religious feeling, of the rationality or intelligibility of the world lies behind all scientific work of a higher order." "And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good" (Genesis 1:31). Tellhard teaches nuclear age man to look at the world which God has made and recognize with him that it is "very good" because it bears the stamp of the Creator of the Cosmos. 2)idaff DEEDS By Jan Chriatenaen A double header in housing can be as thrilling as a double header in baseball. So, on a recent Sunday afternoon over 200 persons visited two demonstration houses in Randolph County, built by North Carolina Extension Plan 90. Rose Badgett, home economics Extension agent, says the Ervin Spinks family, Liberty, used brick veneer for their house. Mrs. McKelvey, Pleasant Hill, had her house built with a frame construction. Each family decorated according to their own desires and the end result was two houses that were alike ? but not alike. Miss Badgett says some persons who attended the "open house double header are now scratching their heads trying to figure a way to have similar housing. "Making two mattresses at the kitchen table is a major undertaking, but well worth the effort." believes Mrs. Fred Partin, Moncure, Rt. 1. Ever since the better bedding program began in her home county of Chatham, Mrs. Partin wanted to try her skill at covering a urethanc foam mattress. Recently she completed a twin-and double-size mattress in two days. Mrs. Partin believes she saved herself and her mother S97 by doing the work herself, observes Mrs. Annabel Powers, home economics Extension agent. Some 600 Robeson County youth are attending a summer program titled "How Food Affects You." These meeting an outgrowth of the county s efforts in the Expanded Nutrition Program, are being conducted by program aides Mrs. Maudie Revels, Mrs. Burnell Stackhouse and Mrs. Beatrice Smith. It will not be all work and no play. Nutrition information will be supplemented with a picnic. ? ? ? A Columbus County homemaker has learned to sew well enough to chooae any pattern she wishes. And that is an accomplishment, agrees Mrs. Betty C. Thompson, home economics Extension agent. The homemaker, Mrs. Letha Stanley, Nakina, Rt. 1, most the garments site and her daughter wear. She mastered her sewing skills through Extension workshops and community college courses, the agent adds. Penny ? twise and pound sound. These words could well describe Durham County senior citizens attending a workshop called "Planning and Preparing Dollar Stretching Nutritious Meals." According to Mrs. Mary J. Whitmore, assistant home economics Extension agent, workshop participants were given tips on how to adapt popular recipes for one or two servings. Among the suggestions were these: stuff chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken. Use a three pound package of hamburger to prepare three different recipes, using a pound of meat for each. Determination to own thier own home inspired the Paul Perkins family, Cleveland County, to seek help in budgeting. So they enrolled in a money management workshop conducted by Thelma E. McVea, home economics Extension agent and worked out a spending plan they could live with. First, the family paid off outstanding debts Then they found someone to take care of their four small children so Mrs. Perkins could work to supplement family income Mrs. Perkins says the family is happy with the progress they're making. She admits "it is a little hard at times, but we are getting straightened out." Family members keep records of expenses, take advantage of sales and spend their food dollars wisely, she adds. When furnishing a new house, make use of items you already have. That's the advice of the Aldean Porter family, the Little Richmond community. Surry County. As an example, Mrs Porter used her old living room draperies to make a bedspread. The fabric was ideal, a closely woven print. Extension agents showed the homemaker how she could split one panel, sew it to the sides of the other panel, and presto, it would fit the single bed in the extra bedroom. LEARN WHILE YOU LEARN.
