There are talented students in the extended school day program and there is a need to recognize and promote this talent on a statewide scale. At Duplin County Extended Day School, one student entered and wrote the following: What a Beautiful Way To Learn Extended Schol Day By Emma Stevens 202 Cardinal Street Warsaw There arc many ways to get to know schools, but how many schools can allow you to attend school and wojk'at^ the same time. 6n top of all that you even get a chance to raise a family if you have one. My name is Emma Stevens. I am twenty-two years old. I am also a senior at Extended Day in Kenans ville. I have a husband and three children. I did not hear of Extended Day until 1980. One day mv cousin phoned me and asked me if I was interested in going back to school. He told me I could finish high school and work at the same time. So I asked him how and he said that Extended Day had a CETA program that would allow me to get job experience, while finishing my education. So I went and that's how I was introduced to Extended School Day. Extended School Day is a beautiful part of my life. When I felt like I couldn't go on. there was always some one there to give me that little bit of confidence that everyone needs every now and then. 1 remember one particular time when 1 was having so many problems and it seemed like everything was going wrong. I confided in one of the teachers be cause one of the ways I was considering solving this problem was quitting. So this teacher sat down with me and explained to me that if I quit now . and later I decided to come back to school, 1 would have to start over and that everything I had started would be lost. After talking with her, I decided that if I was ever going to get a good education it would have to now or never. She also told me that quitting was for losers and she didn't think 1 was one. One of the most important parts of Extended Day is to see colleagues working so clo^t together, which is a good influence on the stu dents. Extended Day is an experience every dropout needs for them to get back on the right track. 1 am a wit ness to how successful this program is. Everything that I've tried has failed except Extended Day. I've tried American School, the home study class and they have failed. I can't understand why people will pay good money for some thing that'll fail and won't accept something good for free. Extended Day is free and all you have to do is have a willing mind and just three hours of your time four days a week. Extended Day is one good experience after the other. 1 remember one particular event. It was the trip the Extended Day CETA stu dents took to New Bern. 1 had not been there in ten years and a lot of things I had forgotten. Through Extended Day, I was able to recap ture the memories of the Tryon Palace. It was a very educational trip because we should all know of great events of the early Ameri cans. Extended Day has offered many courses to help me move on in life. Typing, general business, family life and many other courses have helped me to prepare for the real work world. Extended Day has really been an experience to me and my family because it has helped me to get a high school education, work and raise three children. Without this experience, I would never have been able to write this paper and hopefully it would encourage some boy or girl, man or woman, somewhere to continue their education regardless of the circumstances. I think that if regular schools would give the stu dents some of what Extended Day has given to me, I believe a lot of students would continue their educa tion. Some of these qualities are a reassuring hand, a little bit of P-U-S-H. an opened ear and a closed mouth. Students need someone to be sort of a pal. someone that they can trust, and here at school 1 have found that in the teachers. 1 think any student of Extended School Day that if you're thinking of quitting school, "dont" because without a high school diploma, you won't stand a chance of getting some of the good things this world has to offer. Like, for instancfe. you're working on a job with three other guys and you're all doing the same job. A higher position becomes available and you just know you're doing a much better job than the other guys but because vou don't have a diploma, one of the other guys there gets the job. The manager figures that man is more dependable because he completed his high school education. So if you're out of school or had to quit for some reason and feel that you don't have a chance or can't hack the long hours of regular schools; get in touch with an Extended School Day near you. Don't just quit because it is one experience you'll never forget. At Extended School Day They Care.

Extensive tests and observations of these problem areas have found no insect or disease to be associated with the prob lem. The problem is "centi pede decline." one which is caused by nothing more than mismanagement. The most prevalent cause of centipede decline is thatch buildup, where the surface organic matter accumulates undelaycd and hinders es tablishment of new runners Extremely lush growth this year will usually mean trouble next year. Home owners should be satisfied with a light, green color that is natural for centipede. Don't fertilize centipede as you would zoysia or ber ntuda. Lush growth from heavy nitrogen will not harden off in the fall and is more readily killed by frost on low tern peratures which, in turn, adds to thatch. New runners grow on top of thatch and never get roots well estab lished in soil and are thus more susceptable to cold injury and moisture stress. Proper mowing height is also important in order to help reduce stress. Always mow centipede at the proper height, which is one to one ' and one half inches every seven to 14 days during the growing season. On problem areas, tear aout thatch when present with a rake or verti cal mower then re-sprig areas and sit back and enjoy your lawn. Or better yet. go fishing because centipede sin not called the "fisherman's" grass for nothing. Root diseases of tomatoes are one of the most serious problems facing the home gardener. Fortunately, agri cultural scientists have been able to develop varieties of tomatoes with resistance to many of these root diseases. Better Boy has resistance to root knot nematodes, fu sarium wilt and verticillium will, manupui uas icaiainnvv to fusarium wilt, gray leaf spot and leaf mold. Walter has resistance to fusarium wilt, gray leaf spot, gray wall ana Diossom-ciiu rui. i?mnuu has resistance to fusarium wilt, gray leaf spot and leaf mold. Venus^and Saturn have resistance to bacterial wilt, which is very common in Duplin County. Of these varieties. Better Boy is out standing because it has re sistance to root knot nema todes as well as to fusarium wilt and verticillium wilt. You may be wondering by now how a gardener tells if his tomatoes have one of the soil borne, root diseases. All wilt diseases cause browning of the vascular system, which is the water conducting system of the plant. The vascular system is located immediately under the outer tissue of the stem Thus, in identifying wilt diseases you must cut or scrape the stem to determine if browning is present. Along with growing wilt resistant varieties, you can reduce wilt problems by ro tating your crops, destroying ^ crop residue as soon as* Steam Clean All the f carpet you l\ can clean ? in a day! / ( 24 Hours ) //, , for only *1 2m plus cleaning chemical jj I /, ^?X do it yourself with rarpet master Steam Jet Carpet Cleaning System Smith Dry Cleaners Beulaviiie Dry Cleaners Warsaw.
