Brinkwt Faund fat" li *m hS? toflfifc I Most people are aware that drinking and driving can cause an accident, even disaster. But few people, perhaps, realise that consumption of acholic be verages also vpears signifi cant in many home accidents, safety experts say. A recent issue of "Statis tical Bulletin." published by Metropolitan Life Insurance, shows new findings coming from a two-year study concerning accidents in the nome related to alcohol use. Statisticians analysed 847 home accidental deaths to the company's policyholders dur ing 1964-66. Result: Drinking was associated with the acci dents of one-seventh of the males and one-fifth of the fe males. Case histories pointed up that..."tlme and time again, information was developed that the'victim had been drinking heavily, was a chronic alco holic, suffered from acute al cholism, or had tan to a party ?.flkAMO arl ii ??iIm ?*m r% ' wncre arinKinc preaonunatea, according to H. E. Scott, chair man of tne North Carolina Ru ral Safety Council. Dr. Scott, extension ento mologist at N. C. State Uni versity noted chemicals other than the severely toxic ones cm, and do, cause the great est loes In man-hours, health and even lives. This adds up not only to grief and pain but great economic costs. As head of N. C. Rural Sa fety Council and also chair man of the Pesticide-Chemi cals Education Team at NCSU, Scott adds these comments: "Medicines, pleasurable po tables like alcohol, and other unusual concoctions like LSD. along with uses of glues In sniffing account for far great er damage to humankind than the few Incidents loudly report ed Involving pesticides." In other words, chemical mis-use can come in many forms. Retarded Children CAN BE HEL Thli week ends a series of three weeks on a Commun ity Program to help the men tally Retarded. Last weeks suggestions were for Nursery classes to keep retarded chil drln with proper training to pre pare them for special educa tion classes, more training cen ters such as we now have in Duplin, Religious education at their level of comprehension and recreation facilities ? so badly needed in our county. m this last article of the series we would like to offer the last of the suggestions, which are based on material provided by the National As sociation for Retarded Child ren and could be adapted to needs in Duplin. Ninth voca tional services and training programs for adults Is needed. This type of program could in clude occupational information, job placement and follow up services for those whose ma turity and training could en able them to hold jobs. Vo cational training and workshops to prepare them for jobs with in their abilities and activity centers for retardates incap able of consistent work such a center would help them have companionship and construc tively occupy their time. Ten Independent Living Cen ters are needed and 11 pro tection and guardianship need to be supplied all retarded child ren and about 1/3 of our re tarded adults need more than usual protection and guidance, but special aid is required for those whose parents cannot pro vide for them, and for those who outline-their parents. A plan for guardianship in the community or an institution is needed to insure lifetime care and protection. Twelve research Into the causes and prevention of mental retardation is needed to learn of more effective wots of help ing the retarded. Mental re tardation arises from more than 200 different causes and has r~~~ ^ Ml PED many forms. It afflicts three percent of our population. It is four times as common as rhe umatic fever, nine times more prevelent than cerebral palsy and affects fifteen times more people than blindness. Basic research on a national scale is needed if tomorrows children are to be spared a tra gic handicap . The Immediate goal of the National Association for Re tarded children is to answer the questions wherever a re tarded child is born: "Why did it happen? How can it be prevented? Retarded children cannot speak for themselves, cannot ask for training and other help they require. The National Association for Retarded Child ren is their voice to ask, and reminds us that they can be helped.

In 1967, he received an av erage of 38 cents of the con sumer's food dollar spent on the market basket of farm foods. Thus far In the 1960's, die farmer's share has ranged from 37 to 40 cents. In 1966, when both farm and retail prices rose sharply, the farmer received 40 cents. The "market basket" is made up of 63 foods purchased in retail food stores. These foods represent all food pro ducts, such as meat, dairy pro ducts, and fruits and vegetables, that originate on U. S. farms. Following the sharp rise in farm prices in 1966, the farm value of the market basket foods declined 7 percent (from $443.25 to $413.48) in 1967. The farm value of all major product groups, except daily, were lower. About half the drop in returns to farmers in 1967 was reflected in lower retail food prices. The retail cost of the market basket declined about 1 percent in 1967'from die record level in 1966. The drop in the retail cost was less than that in returns to farmers because of an inc rease in the marketing spread that Is, the gross margins1 re ceived by marketing firms for assembly, processing, trans porting, and distributing pro ducts in the marks; basket.
