KILLING FREEZE? Protective plastic was seen over flowers in Raeford

overnight freeze. The official low temperature was recorded at 29 degrees
and azaleas were victims of the killing cold.

Louise Wood of Raeford is
among 138 Pembroke State Uni
versity students who have begun an
11 week student teaching program.
She is student teaching at Hoke
High School under the supervision
of Margaret Peden.
Pamela Loretta Smith of Raeford
is among 26 freshmen at the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill who have been named
finalists in the North Carolina
Fellows program.
Ten to fifteen finalists will be
chosen during interviews March
26-27.
created the metric (or decimal
measurement) system, all but five
countries have adopted, or planned
the change to the metric system.
The United States is the only large
country not yet on metric. Our time
is coming, according to private
industry, who is leading the conver
sion. The primary reason is to
increase our exports of manu
factured products and thus help
our balance of trade with other
nations. And, obviously, to get in
step with the rest of the world.
First, it's a whole new language.
Back in 1790, the meter was
established as a measured portion
of the earth's circumference. Mea
sures of capacity and mass were
derived from the length unit. The
conversion to metric in the United
States will be to "SI", of which
there are seven base units. By
convention they are considered
dimensionally independent -?
length (meter), mass (kilogram),
time (second), electric current
(ampere), thermodynamic temper
ature (kelvin). amount of substance
(mole), and luminous intensity
(candela). Other SI units are
derived from the base units - but
that's more intregate.
Consumers will need to learn
more about meters, liters, kilo
grams, degrees Celsius. Multiples
and fractions of a unit are ex
pressed by decimals. Conversion of
a unit to another size involves just
moving the decimal point 232000
millimeters = 232000 centimeters
= 232 meters = 0.232 kilometers.
One of the questions most often
asked about the metric system is
how will it affect cookboooks?
True, most new cookbook recipes
will soon contain metric units. But
? the change to metric will not
mean throwing out old favorite
recipes, cookbooks ?? or even the
utensils we've used for years. Many
food products and recipes are using
both systems even now. Care must
be exercised however, even with
conversion tables, measurements
should be carefully checked.
Accepting the changeover to
metric appears to be the biggest
obstacle -- not the changeover
itself. People need to think metri
cally first. Then there are eight
basic points that should be empha
sized in an educational program.
(1) Accurate SI source material
should be used as reference.
(2) All published materials used
in teaching metrics should first be
checked and corrected to SI units.
(3) Stress the basic SI units ?
don't teach, or try to learn all the SI
system because it is overwhelming.
(4) A policy to round off units
could be adapted -- three signifi
cant digits are usually all that are
necessary.
(5) Rather than convert measure
ments from customary to metric
units -- develop new materials
based on whole metric units.
(6) The decimal feature of the
metric system should be applied in
all cases, (such as: 0.5 liter or 500
ml should be used not '/i liter).
(7) Keep measurements unclut
tered and few in number. Ease in
using metric units should be
stressed.
(8) Customary names of cup,
tablespoon, and teaspoon should
not be used with metric units to
avoid confusion.
