Hoke County A Sturdy
Market, Survey Shows
(Special to The News-Journal)
NEW YORK. Aug 21 ?? the
final figures for the past year
show that, for Hoke County, it
was neither the best of times
nor the worst, in terms of
business activity.
Although the year was not
conducive to record ? breaking,
what with the recession,
inflation and unemployment to
contend with, the local market
was stronger than most.
Personal incomes and
consumer buying in the area,
compared with corresponding
figures from other
communities, were good.
The findings are contained
in a new, copyrighted study
released by Sales Management,
the marketing publication,
entitled "Survey of Buying
Power."
For the Hoke County
population as a whole, it
shows, incomes were at a high
level in the year. The total
amount available to local
residents for discretionary
spending, after payment of
their taxes. came to
S31,031.000, as against the
previous year's S28.400.000.
What this represented, for
the individual family, was
determined by dividing the
total income by the number of
households. The average was
S7.569, an increase over the
prior 57,100.
The rise. 6.6 percent, was
more than in the rest of the
United States, 5.1 percent. In
the State of North Carolina it
was 3.6 percent.
What did local residents do
with their bigger incomes? To a
considerable extent, inflation
took care of that matter.
That was the involuntary
part. Voluntarily, consumers in
the area, as those elsewhere,
were more restrained than
usual in their spending. They
put the surplus into savings.
However, they were in the
market place in sufficient
strength to make it a good year
for retail merchants.
As a result, local stores
accounted for gross sales of
SI 3.852.000, as against the
previous year's S 13,658,000.
The survey rates each
community on the amount of
money actually spent in its
retail stores as compared with
the estimated amount, based
upon several factors, that
might have been spent.
The index rating for Hoke
County is .0051. indicating
that it is capable of producing
that percentage of the nation's
retail business
Because it accounted for less
than that last year. .0038
percent, the determination is
that some of the local business
potential has not yet been
realized.

Miss Postel Attends Girl Scout
Community Relations Workshop
Betsy Postel returned
Monday from Bloomington,
111., where the attended in
international workshop on
community relations ? "P.R. ?
P*S and Q*S".
"It was just great", she said.
"We attended workshop* on
photography, news writing,
speaking, and .graphic arts
during the mornings and had
most afternoons free to swim,
go boating, explore the camp
area, or visit with the other
girls. The girls were super too.
We had girls from almost all 50
states and (2) Peru, (1) Ireland,
(4) Scotland, (1) Trinidad, (2)
Finland, and (1) Tabago. We
had a camp newspaper (I was
on the staff and really enjoyed
that), visited Lincoln's
birthplace, Illinois State Fair
(all 240 of us led the big
parade and performed with the
Grand Ole Opry on the stage)
talked with Liz Carpenter
(asked questions etc. about the
White House news), visited
Illinois State University,
Bloomington radio stations,
and. the Pantagraph, a
newspaper. The newspapers
gave the conference
tremendous coverage, including
all the trips we made."
"Our purpose at the
workshop was to discuss and
possibly find solutions on how
to improve community
relations in our own Council
areas and home Neighbor
hoods. It was really interesting
and yet very disturbing to hear
about the different reactions of
the fellow travelers to the Girl
Scout Uniform. One girl was

told by a nun that "it was
wonderful what wc girls were
doing in Vietnam" ?? one was
asked just what kind of
uniform she was wearing -- one
woman would not believe a girl
(in uniform) ? was a Scout
because she was too old. We
have a new Senior Girl Scout
Uniform now (as of this fall)
and everyone hopes we will be
recognized as Girl Scouts and
will become more interested
and more aware of what we are
and what we do."
"We found our biggest
problems were ?
1. The public needs a more
current image of Girl Scouts.
2. The public does not have
an adequate understanding of
Girl Scouts and its goals.
3. Junior and Senior Scout
age girls do not know the fun
and opportunities available in
Girl Scouting.
4. Perhaps the most
important is the apathy on the
part of the parents. We hope to
do much to help solve these
problems and to get more and
more girls, parents, and people
wanting to be involved in
Scouting. Most of what we
learned in our workshops can
be applied to much more than
Scouting I had fun learning
and will always be glad I had
this opportunity to make this
trip."
Douching Not Necessary
For Feminine Hygiene
Dear Mrs. Rjggsbee:
I just finished reading a
booklet on family planning and
understood most of it. but I
have one question. In a
paragraph headed "Improper
use of a method," it says, 'The
woman may douche too soon
after the sex act, even though
there is no need to douthe at
all." I don't understand this. 1
thought the sooner you
douched the better, as far as
protection against pregnancy is
concerned. And why would
there be no reason to douche
at all? Thank you.
Mrs C.H.
Dear Mrs. H.:
First, let me state that it is
the accepted opinion of a large
majority of physicians that
douching is not a necessary
part of '.feminine hygiene" at
all In fact, it may deprive the
vaginal mucous membranes of
their normal secretions and
thereby invite irritation.
Douches should be taken on
the advice of a physician only,
for specific reasons ?- such as a
vaginal discharge due to
infection, etc.
Douching after intercourse
has, according to most medical
opinions, no contraceptive
value. If a woman wishes to
douche after intercourse for
personal reasons, the douche
should be postponed at least
six hours after intercourse so
that no sperm cells might be
washed up into the uterus. I
hope this answers your
questions.
Dear Mrs Riggsbee:
I read your column every
week and have learned a lot
from it. I am not married yet,
but when I am I will plan my
family.
Right now I am writing to
ask you if it is possible to have
"female trouble" if you have
never had sex relations with
anyone? Sometimes I have
such pains in my abdomen. Do
you think I have these pains
because I don't have sex
relations?
J.T
Dear J.T.:
PREGNANCY PLANNING
AND HEALTH
by
Mrs. Gloria Riggsbee
It is possible for a woman or
girl to have female trouble
(disease, pain, or discomfort
associated with any of the
female organs) whether or not
she has had sex relations.
In reply to your second
question: Deliberately entering
into a sexual relationship in
order to attempt to improve
your health would be a very
foolish course of action, in my
opinion. The wise thing to do
is to see a doctor, preferably a
gynecologist (female specialist)
if possible - and don't
prescribe your own remedies
either. That's what doctors are
for.
Dear Mrs. Riggsbee:
Is family planning only for
people with large families
already? 1 asked my doctor
about birth control after my
baby was born and he said 1
had plenty of time before I had
to worry about that.
Even though we only have
one child, we want to wait a
few years before having our
second, and we don't want
more than two. Isn't that what
"Family planning" means?
Mrs. S.deV.
Dear Mrs. deV.:
"Family planning" does
mean the spacing of children as
well as the limitation of family
size. If you and your husband
prefer to wait before having
your second baby, you
certainly have every right to do
so.
Unfortunately, some doctors
- for religious or other reasons
?? not only do not suggest a
method of birth control after a
mother has a baby, but they
actually discourage using one
even when she asks about it, as
your doctor did.
If you wish to postpone
having your next baby, you
should see a doctor about a
birth control method before
resuming sex relations. If your
own doctor will not prescribe a
method for you, make an
appointment at your health
department.

Gloria Riggsbee, 214 Cameron
Avenue, Chapel Hill, North
Carolina, 27514

Farm Items
By.W. S. Young and David Bodenheimer
A little work now in your
corn or soybean fields might
save you money at harvest
time, that is, if you have
volunteer crotalaria plants in
your fields. They should be
pulled out, chopped out or
otherwise gotten rid of before
the seeds are ripe. Seeds found
in harvested grain will cause
the grain to be discounted or
you will have to pay to have it
cleaned. It is best not to let it
get in the grain.
One other point that
growers should remember is
not to mix left over treated
seed in with the grain for sale
or use on the farm Keep grain
clean and harvest the top
dollar.
Entomologists have been
checking tobacco fields in the
border belt for hornworms.
They found that 224 of the
470 late fields of tobacco had
infestations at the 10% level or
above Twenty five percent of
the plants checked had larvae
one inch or larger. To reduce
overwintering populations,
stalks should be destroyed
within two weeks, before
pupation occurs.
Two N.C. Water
Management Field Days arc
scheduled for the Horticultural
Crops Research Station near
Clinton on September 1-2,
1971. They will start at 9:00
A.M. and be opened until 5:30
P.M. Tours of cach projcct will
be conducted each day. Total
water management results in
increased yields of higher
quality crops because land
preparation, planting, cultural
operations, and harvest occur
at the optimum time.
Total water management
includes sprinkler, surface or
sub ? surface irrigation; surface
or sub - surface, drainage,
protection of crops from
atmospheric stresses, such as
frost or frce/e protection and
application of chemicals and
fertilizers through the
irrigation system. This is a
good chance for farmers to see
all types of equipment in
operation at one place.
About one ? tenth of all the
l-.arth's land surface -? an area
about the si/C of South
Aiuc/icu ?? is permanently
covcred with ice.
