Less spece doesn't mean you have to feel crowded. If some areas of your home ? seem overcrowded and 1 others are underused, try to ? make the space you have more functional. For example, try to create a country kitchen area ? a ; place where you can cook, eat and live and entertain informally. And, if you have seldom-used roos such as a formal dining room or guest room, convert them into places for day-to-day living. To make your house seem larger, think of your home as one large unit when you choose decorations. Have wall and floor coverings the same from room to room with changes in texture to add variety. And remember that simple window treatments that blend with the wall colors can help make rooms seem larger." To reduce the feeling of clutter, remove unnecessary and seldom-used furnish ings. When you select new furniture, choose smaller pieces with simple lines ar.d try to select furniture that is , multi-functional. One last reminder: group ing your television, stereo, bookshelves and storage cabinets ink) one wall unit can help increase fllor space and eliminate clutter. Vending Machine Picture this. You walk up to a vending machine, put in your money and ' soft drink pops out. Now pictu.e this, you walk up to the vending machine, insert an empty can and money pops out. Far out? Not any further away than our neighboring state of Virginia. A manu facturer there has a vending machine that gobbles up old cans, paying out a nicket to the person who feeds it. When the machine reaches its capacity of about 1,800 cans, its contents are whisked away to a recycler. Users say the machines are made to withstand hu manity. Thanks to lasers and scales, a prankster can't slide a full can into the crusher. In fact, this reverse vending machine may be the first in a long line of gob blers. Within a year there may be machines that chew up glass and plastic too. Clothing Outlets A shopping expedition to clothing outlets can be a lot of fun and you can save yourself some money ? especially if you take the time to develop some shop ping savvy. But smart shopping does call for some advance plan ning. For example, you might make a list of what everybody in your family needs including sizes, color preferences and styles. Then give yourself a maximum allowance to spend. That way you won't be as apt to be overwhelmed by all those potential bargains and splurge. By all means, take the time to evaluate construction of garment and quality of fab ric. If the garment is labeled "irregular" or "second," figure out what the defect is and whether or not it will affect appearance and wear ability. Finally, shop wisely. MANAGING u H Tii TT jnr *i\!!r [mi! m\ xTT tUtfflgg^ 1 Through the years, the National Association of In vestment Clubs has found that individuals who apply three investment principles: (1) a regular investment over a long period of time, ( 2) reinvestment of earnings, and (3) investment in stocks L whose let'otu suggests the companies will have higher earnings "five years from now, have out earned the major stock averages. Some individuals over years have accumulated accounts worth over SI00.000. How you can do this on your own. without an in vestment cluh, is explained in a free booklet available from NAIC.

Mrs. Lanier recently toured China as a member of an 80-person North Carolina Friendship Force tour. The friendship force, she said, is a non-profit, private organi zation chartered to promote understanding through friendship between people of different cultures. It has members in 27 countries, she said. Members usually ex change visits and live with host families for a short time. She said because China is a communist Country such intimate visitation is not permittted. Her impression of Shang hai was of 11 million people and "22 million bicycles." She said: "I think 1 saw them all at one time. I never saw so many people. It's like Super Bowl crowds. The buses just blow their horns and go lickety-split through the people. The people simply get out of the way." The first stop on the Oriental tour was Hong Kong, where she was told the greatest fear is that China might take over the colony when the British lease expires in 1997. Many people are getting dual citizenship so they can leave, she said. The tour guide told her that he and his wife had saved their money for several years and went to London to have their baby so they could get dual citizenship with Eng land. The baby died, how ever. The death left the couple with no excuse for getting dual citizenship, he said. The group had to carry luggage and walk across the boarder to China. Every item had to be inspected and listed. The entry lists were checked against the exit baggage lists, she said. The group first went to Canton and then to Peking. She said a haze overlaid Peking. "You couldn't see the sun. You could hardly breathe. It was the most backward place 1 ever say. People seemed suppressed. Housing was pathetic," she said. Everything seemed gray. People wore blue and black clothing and a building boom was taking place. High-rise buildings were going up everywhere. Men retire at 60 and women at 55 or 50 if they do manual work. After retire ment people are expected to do volunteer work. She called the Great Wall of China (he most spectacu lar thing she had ever seen, even more so than the pyra mids of Egypt. It was bitterly cold when they were at the wall, with the temperature 8 degrees below zero and the winds blowing at 60 miles per hour. "I felt the sun had come out when we got to Shanghai. ? 1 could breathe. You would see some people in western dress." Mrs. Lanier said she got the impression basic educa tion was better than in the United States. They lear the basics, she said. Everyone seemed to study English. They have a "children's palace operating about 3-5 p.m. in each community where kids can do as they wish." she said. f China is trying to cootro" its population, which in creases about 12 million people a year, she said. The government gives couples with only one child a bonus. It penalizes those with addi tional children. H NAACP Seeks Volunteers To Reach Goals "An army of volunteers will be required to carry out the program of the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People for the year of 1984," said R.E. Wilkins of Warsaw, chair man of membership and fi nance. There are less than 140 paid personnel in the entire U.S., but hundreds of thousands of volunteers make up the main workforce, he said. A goal of 2,000 members and 6,000 regis tered voters are major goals for 1984. A special planning banquet is scheduled for Dec. 8 in the education of Big Zion AMEZ Church, Route 1, Kenansville. The member ship drive will begin Jan. 1 and end Sunday, Feb. 12 with a birthday rally. The organization will be celebrating the Diamond Jubilee Anniversary in 1984 when the organization will be 75 years old on Feb. 12. Its program reaches everv - - _ ? ^ facet of our lives including education, job opportunities, housing, veterans affairs, youth development and training, communications, legal redress and member ship. "The NAACP has carried 36 cases to the U.S. Supreme Court and has won 35. That's a pretty good track record," Wilkins says. The Rev. Dr. Emmett Burns, deputy director of the eighth region of the U.S., will be the principle speaker on Feb. 12. More than 100 membership recruiters have already consented to serve in the 1984 membership cam paign and another 100 is needed, Wilkins said. The Duplin branch has for several years been N.C.'s largest and if 1984 goals are reached. 1984 should retain this title. Persons desiring to serve should attend the planning and training banquet Dec. 8, he sug- 4 gested. * ? .? ??
