Funds frorn this year's offerings wul continue to help print "80 miles of children's books" and subsidize children's and women's magazines in Korea, Argentina, Mexico, and India. Ibiitaff DEEDS By JANICE R. CHRISTENSEN (News items this week from 0 Wayne, Sampson, Johnston and Davidson Counties) This is the story of a wonderful, hard working family of 12 children and their parents. For years they lived in an old broken down house which they rented; but they always dreamed of a home of their own. The family owned a lot. So when Wayne County church decided to tell their old parsonage, the family bought the house and borrowed enough money to have it moved to the lot. Friends and ' neighbors pitched in to help with the underpinning, repainting and repairing. (I#- Wayne County Extension home economics agents helped the mother decide what colors she would use and what additions and changes to make in the kitchen. The family is still making improvements and fixing the yard. They are very proud of their "parsonage" home, Lois Williams, Extension Program Aide.su tea. A homemaker in Sampson County found a way to get a tedious job done with little ' stress and strain. She invited couples from her community v - to a "pecan shelling" party. The group enjoyed the >?'? fellowship and the homemaker got her job done, Frances Temple, home economics ' Extension agent, relates, c ? i:! If you still have your old ' telephone book around the house, no need to throw it i? away. Instead uae it to keep up ,,. with recipes. Patricia Brown, aastsunt home economics Extension agent, Johnston County. suggests pasting those loose recipes you collect on the pages of an old phone book. Vou might want to categorize them so you can easily find the one you want, when you want it, she adds. Extension agents in Davidson County have been emphasizing consumer com petence in their educational programs. And the effort! must have paid off. Recently Mrs. Jane bbert, Extension home economics agent, received a letter addressed to the Home Economy Agent. "The new title is very appropriate," she agrees. Children of tow ? income families in Richmond County, are using their personal touch to make their own wastebaskets. They make the baskets from a giant potato chip, ice cream or popcorn can and decorate it with picture postcards, birthday or Christmas cards, Dorothy Mobley, associate home economics Extension agent, relates. You can make a well ? tailored peir of draperies by machine as well as by hand, according to Mrs. Margaret Inman, Chadbourne. The Columbus County homemaker had always, until last week, sewn the lining of her draperies by hand. Now that she is working outside the home fulltime, she doesn't have time for all that Hnjaarwork. She learned a machine technique in drape y making, that will save her time, so now she plana to make draperies for her whole house. Skydivers To Compete AtRaeford Airport A two ? day sports parachute meet will be held this weekend at the Raeford Airport. This la the second meet in s series of seven to be held this year by sports parachute clubs in tl.. Carolines, Gene Thacker, manager of the Green Beret Sports Parachute Gub said. The first meet was held in Barnwell, S.C. At the end of the year, awards based on competition in the seven meets will be presented. Man Wounded Wife Charged A man was shot In the lower abdomen with a double barrel shotgun Saturday afternoon and his wife was charged with the shooting. Melvin Purcell, of Rt. 3 Raeford on the Lake Elizabeth road, was taken to Moore Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Maggie Purcell, 28, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. She was released on SI,000 bond pending a hearing in District Court Friday. Sheriff DM. Barrington said the shooting took place about 1 p.m. Saturday at the couple's home. Mrs. Purcell was arrested at the home by deputies Alex Norton and Robert Graham. PARKS (Continued from Page 1) Locklear got out of the car and went into the station. While they were in the rest room they heard gunshots and as they tried to leave the room, they were blocked by several men who told them not to come out. They tried to get out of the station but were prevented from doing so by several men. As they got to the door they saw Wearlns on the ground, Sheriff Barrington said Mrs. Wearins told him. Several persons were at the station when the shooting occurred Sheriff Barrington aid. The sheriff aid a half full cold 16 ounce beer can was found in the car. Also found were two other beer cans, still cold, that were almost empty. An empty pint of whiskey and an empty .22 caliber pistol were also in the car. An autopsy and a blood alcohol content report were ordered but the results are not available yet, Sheriff Barrington aid. About 80 jumpers are expected to compete, Thacker said. There will be three events testing accuracy, free fall style and four ? man team maneuvers. The team events are probably the most impressive to watch, he said. Competition will begin about 8:30 on Saturday and 9 a.m. on Sunday at the airport and will end about S p.m. each day. The two - day meet will be covered live on WSHB. RECREATION (Continued from Page 1) been taken by the board. Recreation director W.K. Morgan had submitted a budget request of $o,000 to the United Fund this year. Efforts to save the summer program have increased this week. John Caddy, city manager, reported that several citizens, including Mrs. C.R. Pursiey, Benny McLeod and Franklin Teal, city councilmen have expressed support for the program. McLeod is chairman of the recreation committee appointed by the United Fund to administer money from the charity. County manager T.B. Lester and commissioner Ralph Barnhart both said this week that one of the main concerns of the county is the operation of the program. The county does not have the staff to assume responsibility for the operation, Barnhart said. Lester voiced the concern that the program would be only for the city of Raeford. Unless it was utilized by county residents, he feared that other townships throughout the county wouls also seek recreation funds. The county could not finance programs for each township, he said. A Raeford ? Hoke Recreation Commission, similar to the city's housing authority, will probably have to be appointed by the local governments, Caddy said. This would enable the commission to apply for state and federal funds as well as to receive money from the city and county governments. Gaddy said he was trying to get Kenneth Free, recreation specialist with the state Department of Local Affairs, to come to Raeford for a meeting this week. Morgan said recently that he would need to be assured of funds for the program by the end of April at the latest, in order to get the summer schedule and teams organized. The city council and county commissioners meet separately next Monday and recreation is included on the agenda of each body. In the motion picture. The Fortune Cookie, there's a scene in which Jack Lemmon s screen brother - in ? law wants to buy a new car with the anticipated proceeds of an accident insurance policy on Mr. Lemmon. But Lemmon asks whether they shouldn't wait until the insurance money starts to come in. "Wait! demands his brother ? in - law, "who in this world waits for anything? When Uncle Sam sends billions of dollars of soace hardware off the pad, do you think they pay cash? Everything's done on a Diner s Club card!" Tne claim is not too far - fetched. 1 recently made a trip and discovered in arriving at the air terminal that ! had forgotten my money, my traveler's checks, and my ticket. If I were to go back home for these items, I would miss my flight. So I took a chance and with one credit card traveled about 1.500 miles, stayed overnight in a motel, provided all my meals, and purchased some merchandise - all without any cash or checks! We are becoming a credit ? card society. . We are also increasingly a materialistic society. A man in a restaurant called the attention of a friend to a heavy . set man who was writing down his order from a menu. "Look," he said, "that man is writing his autobiography from a menu." That may seem unfair judgement, but it is certainly an accurate appraisal of some of us today: the god we worship is the Appetite, the alter of the Open ? Mouth, the Idol of the Well - Stuffed Man. As Paul put it. the real enemies of God have tbeu minds set "on earthly things. We are an avaricious society that is gulping down material goods at a rate which they cannot be digested. Jesus frequently warned men about materialism. It was one of his most frequent subjects. Be careful of the kinds of treasure you attempt to pile ? up for yourselves. They won't last. Why? Because material wealth is perishable. Jesus singles out three different kinds of material wealth. First, there is the kind that, like expensive clothing, will wear ? out or is in danger of being eaten by moths. This kind of treasure, regardless of how beautiful it may appear when it is new, will not last forever. (Have you ever seen in a museum a once ? beautiful piece of clothing that is one or more centuries old?) There is a second category of material wealth. These are the goods that erode or rust in time. Bright and shiny when they are new, they do not remain bright and shiny. Years go by and we wonder what ever attracted us to them in the first place. They do not stay valuable. A third type of material good is the king that like money may be stolen. Material wealth is particularly vulnerable to theft. Recent newspapers have described the frustration of a number of wealthy actresses who have been robbed on their jewelry. The effect of these crimes is to discourage them from either owning or wearing them. William Barclay reports a conversation between a young man and an older man. "I will learn my trade," says the young man. SENATOR SAM ERVIN * SAYSv WASHINGTON - I recently introduced two alternative plans for electoral college reform - SJ. Res. 2 and S.J. Res. 3. These measures are not new. S.J. Res. 2, the proportional plan, passed the Senate in 1950 and SJ. Res. 3, the automatic plan, was proposed in the Senate by Senator John Kennedy in 1957. Recently, S.J. Res. 3 has been referred to as the "Katzenbach plan" because of the ardent support given the measure in 1966 by then Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach. These measures cover the broadest possible spectrum of electoral college reform. S.J. Res. 2 is closest to the direct election plan in that it divides a state's electoral votes in proportion to the popular vote cast for each candidate in each state. This would rid the election of the President of the unit rule which so many find unacceptable. In addition to a mandatory proportional division of each state's electoral vote, S.J. Res. 2 would require the election to be decided by the Senate and the House in joint session with each Senator and Representative having one vote if no candidate receives 40% of the total electoral vote. SJ. Res. 3, the automatic plan, would make only minimal changes in the present system with none of the ' possible dangers which many have warned could result from an untried and different method of electing the President. Briefly, S.J. Res. 3 would (1) eliminate the "faithless elector" and would insure that a state's electoral votes would be cast for the plurality winner in the state, and (2) if no nominee had an electoral vote majority, the deadlock would be broken by a vote taken at a Joint Session of Congress on the basis of one vote for each Member of the House and Senate. Thus. S.J. Res. 2 and 3 present the Senate with two theories for electoral college reform which, I believe, are superior to either direct election or the present system. Both S.J. Res. 2 and 3 get rid' of the "faithless" elector and both provide a substantially better method of determining deadlocks than the present system. While the mechanics of S.J. Res. 2 and 3 are different - one espouses the unit rule and the other divides the electoral votes - I can support either bill because they both attempt to preserve the identity of the states and their basic representation in the Presidential electoral process. Moreover, S.J. Res. 2 and 3 recognize the basic fact that electoral votes do reflect people and the principle established by the framers of the Constitution that both large and small states should have a voice in selecting the President and Vice President. The two proposals which I have introduced give the Senate very realistic choices for reform. I trust that my colleagues will join with me in taking some action in this area in 1971.
