Medical Society Says Insurance Budgets For Illness Could you handle the bills for a major illness in your family? In a recent survey many Ameri cans expressed concern over their ability to finance a major operation or a long hospital stay. The most common means of protecting against the costs of major illness in the United States today is health insurance. Why talk about health insurance in 1981? Everybody already has it. don't they? Wrong. There still is a minority of Americans who do not have protection against the costs of serious illness. There are others whose protection is probably in adequate. According to the North Carolina Medical Society, health insurance enables you to budget in advance for the unexpected and high cost of getting sick. Chances are good that you already have health insurance. Almost 200.000.000 Americans are now protected by some form of insurance, either individually or through some type of group cover age. Most people today are covered under group policies through their place of employment. You won't have much say in the provisions of this policy.

Housing Tips by Willie Featherstone, Jr. Associate Agricultural Extension Agent HOW MUCH IS A GARDEN WORTH? The actual value of the home vegetable garden will vary from gardner to gardener based on size, amounts of a given vegetable grown, and especially how inten sively it is gardened. The table below shows the results from a garden that was grown at the University Research Unit 4 Farm in Raleigh from May -December, 1980. The garden had a yield of 938 pounds of vegetables on 1250 sq. ft. of land (approx imately 25 x 50 ft.) That is about three-fourths pound of food for each square foot of land area. The retail value of the vegetables were calculated to be worth $535.51 based on retail prices from a local grocery store. Expenses totaled $50.67; which gives the garden a net value of $484.84. NOTE: There were no ex pense charges calculated for labor, water or small garden tools. Est. Retail Crop Arat.

"DAD, CAN I HAVK A BOX WITHOUT BATTKRI KS?v The other night a friend of mine was complaining about the big bucks he had put out lor toys this past Christmas. "We bought this expensive elec tronic thing our kid wanted," he lamented, "and, before the day was over, he had shoved the toy in to a corner and was having a great time with the box it came in"! A familiar story. By this lime every year, thousands of American homes are littered with the car casses of Christmas toys that won't work anymore. Broken pieces of plastic junk that never did operate like the television commercials said they would, anyway. Why would any kid prefer a cardboard box to a shiny new "Super Special Starpower Space Shuttle"? Simple. A box gives him a chance to try out his own in genuity, his built-in urge to create things. Just think of all the things a big cardboard box can become, in the hands of an imaginative youngster. It can turn into a fort, (tollhouse, garage, car, spaceship, kitchen stove, or a hundred other items. That sophisticated toy, on the other hand, requires neither im agination nor creativity. All you can do with it is flip a switch and watch it run, until the batteries finally play out. As I think back on my own childhood, the most joyful play ex periences I can remember had to do with making things. Just give me and my friends a few wooden shingles, a hammer, and handful of old roofing nails, and we could turn out a whole fleet of airplanes in a single afternoon. There were times when we would get so busy transforming an old shed into a secret clubhouse. Mom would have to hogtie me to get me to the dinner table. (Dinner was our noontime meal. At night we had supper.) When I was a little older, we would pack up some peanut butter sandwiches and head for Little River, where we would spend the whole day fashioning a thatched hut out of the long grass that grew along the banks. Last Christmas, one frustrated mom said, "Do you know where I can find a doll that doesn't do anything"? The stores were full of crying, blinking, cooing, talking, moving, walking, diaper-wetting dolls. But a plain old fashioned doll was nowhere to be found. Modern toys are ingenious, to be sure. But they leave nothing to the imagination. And imagination is one of the greatest sources of joy in childhood. & SUPPORT YOU* HOKE COUNTY RESCUE SQUAD Volunteers Trained and Equipped To Stv You.
