' Our UF has n o w established itself as one of the- county’s- in dispensible organizations. It has for- seven years efficiently raised money for the support of organi zations and activities which keep the “good neighbor” spirit . alive in the county. It • has freed our schools of the nuisance and dis traction of fund raising for health. agencies and other non school purposes.. Its budget com mittee has made sure that a greater portion of the charitable and welfare -fu n ds raised here are spent within the county. , Yet despite these'"manifest bene fits, it is apparent to tfyose who have worked with the UF that it has never received the wholeheart- ————*•- —— ■~r~—* i >- t tklet'A Go flikitt’. BY 808 BREWSTER Outdoor Bdito-, Mercury Out boor tit aJ .Moat everyone la familiar with the gray-bearded adage about the smalt boy who uses a bent pin, a piece of string and a willow pole to land a huge fish. Fishing next to him, using an expensive rod and reel, is an adult who fails to catch anything. The story is common, funny, and oft-t6ld, but unfortunately not very true.. The adult with the good equipment, and the know-how is going to catch more fish almost every - time. I say almost for. a good rea son—there is one species of fish that is consistently caught by small boys and hardly ever caught by grown men,; and the situation is not likely to change in the near future. That fish is the bullhead, practically the exclusive property of small boys. • ... * GOOD QUALITIES One of the most endearing qualities of a bullhead is that he bites almost as well (some say better) on lowly fishing equipment than he does on an expensive flyrod or a fine spin ning rod. Also he inhabits creeks, farm ponds and almost every other body of Water In the United States, offering un limited opportunity to the tyro fisherman who has neither the means nor the way to travel . far in pursuit of his quarry.- J lome lucky youngsters go inning with their Dads, and ride to "hot" bullhead waters in the family runabout pushed along by a dependable Mercury outboard, others hop a bicycle pedal out to a nearby lake or river, and many, many more FOR THE BEST ;; IN Motor Tune Up, Body & Fender Repair* Front End Alignment, Wheel Major & Minor Auto Repair*, Under Coating, Winterizing, y • v.

On the other hand 'it . has fallen below 80 per cent only i once in the sewn campaigns it has conducted. Probably the most frequent criticism leveled against our UF is that it has failed to end other solicitation in the health and wel fare field in short, that it has failed to achieve its professed one drive status. This criticism, we believe, is unfair. This is a free country, and our UF has no au thority to prevent other agencies from conducting drives. The main point is, it does place the con tributor to our UF in the position where with defensible logic and good conscience he ean decline to give to other drives. We know that many of the larger contribu -1 tors to our UF take this position, ‘ and in final analysis, if we endorse a one-fund system of giving, the best way to defend i it is to say “No” to independent drive*. • Ii - Bob Helmle, Mayor depend upon shank's mare to get them to where they want to go. * But mostly mechanisation had been kept clear of the bull head picture. Moat adults wouldn’t be caught dead fishing in a farm pond alongside young er and far more agile compel!* tors.

The Editor ' YftMey Record Burtuville, N. C. Dear Sir; We, would like to coll the at tention of your readers to action being taken by an increasing number of individuals as an alter • native to 'building fallout shel ters. These Individuals aro con tributing annual#,- to agencies of the United Nationl, sums which w£Q ultimately add up to what a shelter would cost each family. The idea orginated with a group in Chapel Hill who were concerned that the shelter pro gram was producing “a sense of false security which deludes peo ple into the belief that nuclear war ca n be made safe for the few in the world who are able to build and equip shelters.” ; “We are *hey, ; wrote, “that the only hope for fcieani n gfal human survival lies in the creation of law and order on a world sctfle, so that men are free to hope, love, create, and give themselves in service to others without the constant threat of a sudden worldwide disaster. Believing this, our alternative to fallout shelters is a renewed effort to strengthen the United Nations and all other agencies j that Seek to maintain law and order without geographical boun daries.” ! j As a practical expression of ‘ their concern, 28 individuals un ■ dertook to contribute, over a per. > iod of time, the equivalent of the 1 cost of a shelter. Others in var • ious parts of the country have, * since joined them, including mem l of Celo Friends Meeting who ' Iqvite all who are ’ interested (1) r to share this concern with the - religious and civic groups of » which they ar e members and with s the President of the United States f aid (2) to make their own fina°- 1 cifcl contributions. t Checks are being made payable t- : - HOMEMADE SOUP TAKES A BOW I: P yjf fc * ■HHHnHI llineetrone, the most popular of the thick Italian soups or mine- .

Among programs thus far selected for gifts are Technical Assistance in Africa, World Health , Organiza tion, Emergency Fund for- the Congo, Children** Fund, and Food and Agriculture Organizat ion. v We believe that the only shelter is peace. And peace, according -to a recent message of the Friends Conference on World Order “is world order and political institut ions. It Sr. justice and the control over the strong. It is mercy and the restraint of the merciless. Peace is lpve conquering fear; It is a lively concern.for all -men,- I for friends and for rivals, for the | lovely earth, for life, and for joy. It is the only house in which men can now live.” The Board of Directors of the American Friends Service Com mittee recently issued a statement which we endorse. It holds that this kind of peace “comes neither from surrender nor from war, but from daily grappling with the hard tasks of converting the United Nations into a center (of world order, of lifting the burden of arms from men’s backs of using the earth’s resources for the common good, of assuring freedom with justice for all. We must dare now to live as moral men, at long last relying on our ability to change men’s -.heart* 1 rather than our capacity to de i stroy their lives.” Sincerely, Elizabeth Morgan, Clerk Ferry Mason Rflfes With bark Women New Yi£i It More than half of the wpmrh employed rin the savings banks of New York State are unmarried, their aver age age is 44, forty per cent of them own their own homes, nn<l 70 per cent their own car. 1 Their favorite TV program is Perry Mason witli Lawienco Welk, Mitch • Miller- and Perry Como all -tied for second.

Three-page questionnaires were sent to 650 female savings bank employees of which 164 responded. • - The purpose of the survey was twofold: to yield statistics that might help the savings banks, to know their employees better, resulting in better in ternal communications. Second ly, to provide information that would be useful in publicizing the importance of savings and the advantages' of a career in savings banks. ' ; - - . The survey shftwed that 47 . per cent of the women were single, 11 per cent widowed and 4 per ccnt'diVorcocs. Tiie other 38 per pent were married.
