Local Schools Receive Impact Aid state scnooi superintendent Craig Phillips innontd today that 64 school wits to North Carolina wOi receive an addi tional $1,239,100.00 to Impact Aid to operate schools during the 1973-74 school year. The ameenoement came as a result of recent court action brought .. against the Nixon aoministra cetve J0.606.rX) ft J f V i.- ' . i According to Carbon Fleet-? woOd, Director of Federal-St ate Relations for the Depart ment of Public Instruction, Im pact Aid is allocated to school -mtm with a high concentration of military dependents on the beeis'of two forauflas. "A" students are children of par empkyed byt^ military. but do not Use on a military base. For each "A" student, the school unit receives one-half of tbe National Average Per Pigdl Expenditure ($430.14).

WMW - 11 The mere saggestion of kAvmlflui 1M ?i -It 1 Banning cigarettes is ricncuious and totally unbelievable, and one more example of attempts of anti-tobacco zealots to attack and cripple this industry. Richard 0. Simpson, chair ? man of the Federal Consumer Product Safety Commission, says that the commission may have the power to ban cigarettes; however, tobacco is specifically exempt from the Consumer Product Safety Act, ? M|l 1 all A ALa n n ^ ? wnicn set up uie commission. Instead, Simpson says he is "waiting for a petition from one or more members of Congress" requesting the .commission to ban cigarettes above certain tar and nicotine levels under the authority of the federal Hazardous Substances Act. It seems quite obvious that self-righteous tobacco foes Intend to use the commission in their own personal crusade against the tobacco industry. And, what is more unfortunate is that the commission chair man, who must hove his owir ax to grind against the indue try. is Jailing right into their hbdi. % An important questfcm that should be raised is by whet yardstick would any kind of determination by the com mission be made, since there IMS never been one shred of scientific evidence that cigarette smoking is the direct cause of any human disease Attacks oa tobacco have 1 ? h nn ?%%. ?f j iimi 1m m nf taken many ionro^ in vacant are1*^ smoking, so now there is talk of It is time that self-serving New Health Education J Program For Older I Persons To Be Offered I Vigor In Maturity (VIM), a new health education program for ol der Americans sponsored by the National Hettred Teachers Association and die American Association of Retired Persons, will be offered by Dqdlii Pender unit of NJR.T.A.oneach Tuesday in October at 8-5 p.m. at the James Sprunt Institute in KenansvUle.

BY: THOMAS HALL Before you turn this page or read something else - read this article. It would determine your future. This was a welcome to the students who had enrolled in Agriculture Technology at James Sprunt Institute in 1972. It reads as follows: To those students who have chosen the field of technical agriculture, we extend a spe cial welcome to you. Maybe because you realise that agri culture is by far the largest industry in the United States employing about 29 million peo Change In Moisture Discount Schedule For Corn & Soybeans We have been informed that effective August 13 for corn and October 1 for soybeans that the following discount procedure will be used by the grain ex porters and presumably the major grain buyers inthestate: 2% of the market price shall be deducted for each point Vh of moisture over 16 8% for corn and for each point of moisture over 13.0% for soybeans. The cheapest drying of corn and soybeans occurs in the field. However, the decision to delay harvest must be weighed against losses dsr to weather or a drop in market price. It takes longer to dry 28% moisture corn man to dry IB or 20% moisture corn. When the corn golqg to the market has high moisture the dryarssooo di y field. pie in services and about 6 million in production Too, you are convinced that agriculture is the "back-booe" of this cou ntry and the world because not ma ny people can work or even live without food. That agri culture must continue, regard less of non-ag relative industry, to feed, shelter, and clothe die people of the world. Agriculture is a true sci ence and very complicated. In fact, we still have a long ways to go before we learn all the mysteries of plant life, soils, chemical reactions, feeds, livestock and many other things. Therefore, it is a changing field becuase of the new knowledge that is learned through research each year. ' As more informs 1 tioo is gained, we, working or studying in the field of agri culture, have to keep up to date and apply ourselves to in crease our knowledge to be in a position to help our fellow man and ourselves. Other changes that we might note for this coming year, we have women enrolling in agri culture programs for the First time. Let's give them a big welcome for awakening to the reality that there is a place for the fairer sex in this field. We may be called "clod hoppers,". "dirt-diggers" or other names, but you just remember the wheels of the nation would stop if all the "clod-hoppers" laid down their tools Registration For Cubs And Webelos J Registration for Cub Scouts and Webelo Scouts will be held September T, at 4 p.m. at the Webelo Hot behind the Police Station In Warsaw.
