Cording, Executive Director of the Co mmunity Action Council, Inc., Rose Hill. His Topic was "Health Need of the Poor". "Health is a very impor tant part of the various comp onents of our nation. The Fe deral Government has belated ly recognized the fact that we must have good health for soc iety to survive. Private foun dations have found the needs and prodded the government into ac tion. The Federal Government became aware that human be ings, are our most important' resource. Until the Economic Opportunity Act was brought into being, little money was spent to rehabilitate and uplift human beings. If people and nations are to prosper In spite of taxes, peo ple must be in good health to be a contributing force in the economy. With the rising spiraling cost of living, pur chase of supplies and goods, the poor cannot afford medical care they should have. We are in danger now in spite of technical and medical advances of having in the midst of affluance, people with health " so poor, they are a drag upon the economy^ the sick cannot Chicken In Sausage The North Cajrolina Poultry edtratfttin jfeas Joined with ot /her poultry oiwanizat ions in the country In with the United States Department of Agrlcul ture a brief supporting the use of poultry in sausage without discrimatory labeling. Endorsing the position of the brief along with The North Car olina Poultry Federation were: The National Broiler Council, Alabama Poultry Industry As sociation, Arkansas Poultry Federtion, Florida Poultry Federation, Georgia Poultry F ederatlon, Indiana State Pou ltry Association, Kentucky Po ultry Federation, Mississippi Poultry Improvement Associa tion, South Carolina Poultry Improvement Association, Sou theastern Poultry and Egg As . sociation, and the Texas Po ultry Federation.

In addition to the filing of the brief, the Poultry Federa tion and a number of its me mbers last week called onNor "'Ifr'tlardllna's Congressional Delegation in Washington dis cussing with the lawmakers the "Chicken in Sausage" issue. Broiler industry leaders from North Carolina who visited Ca pitol Hill the week of June 2, 1969, on the "Chicken in Sau sage" issue reported strong opposition among members of Congress to the use of federal food inspection laws to freeze out competition. While in Wash ington the poultry industrvmen . from North Carolina distributed to the lawmakers pamphlets en titled, "The Right to Compete." The pamphlet was prepared by the National Broiler Council headquart ered in Washington, D.C. Basically, the poultry In dustry Is asking that chicken be allowed the opportunity of competing freely and without discrimination with red meats. Adoption of the poultry indus try proposal by the United Stat es Department of Agriculture will make available to the Am erican consumer clean, safe, healthy, and nutritious chicken in cooked sausage products. Furthermore, the actions urged on USDA by the poultry indus try would make low cost chic ken available to sausage manu facturers without arttfklaUy* set limitations, and should pave tip way for cost reductions for these people and conseq Leaving siirllngton Industries, members of an organize^ tour sponsored by the Vocational Home Economic's Department of East Duplin High School, viewed other industries in Duplin including textile and poultry whichhave recently proven a boost to the economy of Duplin County and surrounding areas.

Notfficatlon of theappropral atlon was received from the United States Office of Educa tion. 'James Sprunt Institute also received a similar impro priation last year from thesame source. The program was established as a training seminar to be conducted on the local level and puovides certificate re newal as approved by the State Department of Public Instruc tion.

Duplin Considered For Poverty Experiment Duplin County is being con sidered as a test site for the newest idea in ending pov erty the "Negative Income Tax," or officially income ma intenance payments. The University of Wisconsin has received a $150,000 research grant from the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity to test income maintenance in two rural settings. Two sites will be chosen for the three year study but the final decision has not been made. Some 400 families, would participate in theproject, which would involve a careful house hold by household reading of the effects of a program in which the government would simply make up the difference between family's income, gen erally set at $3,000 for a family of four. The families would get the money and would then be sur veyed for answers to such ques tions as: --Did having sufficient money to assure adequate family living increase or decrease the head of the household's desire to work? ?How was the money spent? Did guaranteed income make the family more or less waste ful? --Can removing worries ab out subsistence income improve educational performance of ch ildren in poverty families? Can it have an effect on de cision whether to migrate to cities? ?Can such minimum secur ity improve the family stabil ity? The income maintenance stu dies are preludes to what many social workers and economists expert will be the next step in government aid to the poor. The Wisconsin study is being carried out by an institute of poverty. The results of the study could provide the answers to ques tions which both critics and bo osters of income maintenance have raised about the effect of no-strings-attached govern- ' ment money to the poor. A similar study with OEO funds is being conducted in several New Jersey cities. Sewage Loan Approved PINK HILL, June 13 ?
