Thank you, THE PAMLICO COUNTY NEWS 'brosis Fund lis Week The Cystic Fibrosis Fund Drive in Pamlico County is in full operation this week, ac cording to an announcement made by John Partin, Cystic Fibrosis Chairman. Throughout this week, volunteers will be calling on local citizens for contributions to the Cystic Fibrosis campaign. It is requested that local citizens generously give for the benefit of the respiratory diseased children helped through the Cystic Fibrosis Fund. Do you know what Cystic Fibrosis is? Most people don't. It’s hard to say and it’s hard to spell. Ask a child who was born with CF, and he’ll tell you it’s hard to live with. Cystic Fibrosis destroys lungs and digestion. It’s still incurable, but your con tribution to the Breath of Life Campaign sponsored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation could change that. Make Cystic Fibrosis easier to live with. Be generous when the Breath of Life volunteer calls. If a volunteer does not call on you, you may make your con tribution by mailing it to Cystic Fibrosis Campaign, in care of First Citizens Bank & Trust Co. Bayboro, N. C. or by bringing it by tbebank.

Davis Falls Short Of Super Bowl Bid By C.RAY DUDLEY The glass fell, the rain fell and Pamlico County failed their last chance to advance in the Punt, Pass, kick Competition. In what was suppose to be a warm sunny day turned into a tearful wet, rainy day at the City Stadium in Richmond, Virginia where the regional finals were being held. This would be the first time many of the players would perform on artificial turf. Harold Davis represented Pamlico County, Havelock and Jacksonville. He had won con tinuously in the Eight year old bracket but a birthday during the week almost eliminated him and he was forced to participate with the nine year old age group. Davis failed to place but represented our area with great enthusiasm. The winners move on to R., F. Kennedy stadium where they will perform during halftime of the Washington Redskin’s game. Our hats goes off to Harold Davis in giving Pamlico County their best finish thus far in the National Punt, Pass, Kick Competition yet. His per formance was great and we are waiting for next year to go all the way. We would like to thank Harold, Dick Parker Ford of Havelock and Mr. Don Abler for their help and aid in the 1976 Edition of Punt, Pass and Kick Com petition. Rams And Steelers Sweep 1st Game Wins By C.RAY DUDLEY The 1978 opening season of Termite Flag Football brought out more teams and fans than the entire 75 season. The fans were in high form to support their teams. The Rams of Bayboro took on the defending Termite Flag Football Champ s—the Packers of Oriental. The Packers are faced with a rebuilding year and under new coaches Raymond Tingle and Mike Swindell. Coach of last Reg Piland is no longer with them and the Packers had to go all the way out to defend their league title. It took less than five minutes for the Rams to get on the scoreboard when Chester Scott threw a 40 yard scoring touchdown to Reginal Beasley and an early 84) lead. The Packers could not move the ball and had to turn it over on downs. With just 4:20 to go in the first half Earl Sawyer threw quar terback Anthony Greene back in the end zone for a safety and that’s how the half ended with the Rams holding on to a 8-0 lead. During the first half the Packers could only mass a -35 yards rushing. The Packers looked like the team of last year as they begun Caswell News True or False? Retarded citizens work in the Smithsonian? Retarded citizens work in the National Park Services? The correct answer in each case is true. Two students trained at Melwood in Prince George County, Maryland work in Smithsonian and seven in the Parks Services. Melwood is a non-profit organization where retarded people are trained to become productive citizens. It specializes in horticulture but does also offer training in woodwork and food services. The students are paid only for productive hours. They sell tea to local stores. One work crew laid the floor of the canteen. They make and sell picnic tables and planters. They sell beautiful plants wholesale and retail raised in their greenhouses. They have plant sales in the community. They have the Department of Agriculture in the lobby of the Department of Justice contracts to maintain the grounds of such places as the National Lutheran Center in Washington. Training in arts and crafts is also given and the products are sold. Melwood is not a residential facility. Most students live in their homes. All are transported to and from the center everyday. Evening adult education classes are offered. Sometimes students realize they need academic subjects on their jobs and for the first time in their lives are motivated to learn reading, writing and ar ithmetic. And what does all this have to do with us in Eastern North Carolina and at Caswell Center? Well, if they can do it we can. This project in Maryland was started by the local chapter of the Association for Retarded Citizens. One of the first methods of funding was the United Way. Today we are being asked to give to the United Way. We read the slogan “Give a hand not a handout” and wonder if our donation really is a helping hand. It was at Melwood. Had it not been for training these people working at the Smithsonian and in the Parks Services might have had to be supported throughout life in institutions without having the opportunity to use their talents.

The Rams came right back with Scott handing off to Tommy Squires who sweep 45 yards for the score and increasing the lead to 1445. Brantly Norman or Anthony Greene could not move the Packers so once again they were forced to turn the ball over on downs. The Rams changed backftelds with a little less than 7:00 to go in the game and found themselves faced with a 4th & 50. With the Packers in good field position and only twenty yards to go, Reg Beasely intercepted a Anthony Green pass. With 6:11 to go, a Scott to Tommy Squires hand-off added another six points for the Rams and a 20-12 lead. Squires went on to score two more touchdowns as the Packers could never get un tracked in a 32-12 setback. Tommy Squires was the leading grounds gainer as he went 8-87 yards. Coach Sykes and Atkins had their horses in gear as they overcame a sluggish first half to win 24-6. Jarrett Jones scored on a 60 yard sweep with just 6:34 to go in the half and went 60 more yaids before having it called back on penalties. The Vikings wasted no time to come right back and tie the score at 645. With less than a minute to go in the game Jones threw a 25 yard touchdown pass to Mickey Sadler and giving the Dolphins a 12-6 halftime lead. The Dolphins were plagued with penalities the second half as Jones threw his third in terception and turned the ball over three consecutive times. With 5:12 to go in the game quarterback Mickey Purser threw an interception to James Lewis of the Dolphins who went 25 yards to score and increase their lead to 146. The Vikings ran numerous sweeps but were met with a steel curtain defense. Jarrett Jones scored on a sweep play with just :31 seconds to go in the game for the final 24-6 margin. The Steelers held the mighty name of the “iron curtain” defense as they held down the Warriors passing and running game and held on to a 12-6 game. The Warriors had one touch down called back due to a player with unsportsman-liked conduct. Harry Ireland threw the first score to Mike Cook on a 17 yarder for an early 6-0 lead. With just a few seconds to go in the half Ireland threw to James Moore to add another score to give the Steelers a 12-0 lead at the half. The Warriors wasted no time in the second as with just 10:07 to go in the game quarterback George Golden swept 25 yards to score but had it called back. With less than a minute to go a touchdown was awarded to the Warriors due to a Steeler player tackling the Warriors with the final score ending 12-6.

REVOLUTION IN FARMING BRINGS FOOD ABUNDANCE U. S. agriculture is highly productive today, but it has not always been so. In fact, practically all of the development in scientific agriculture has come during the latter half of the nation's 200 yeare of independence, and most of it in the past 50 years, according to Bill Humphries, agricultural informa tion sperialist at N. C. State University. In 1776 about nine of every 10 Americans lived on farms. Most farm families did little better than produce enough food, clothing and shelter for their own use, and in unfavorable years they didn’t do that well. Shortages of food and other products occurred from time to time. Typical farm livestock of 200 years ago was rather puny, compared to today’s standards. The average gross weight of cattle on one New England livestock market was 370 pounds, and that of sheep was 28 pounds. Little hay or fodder was stored for winter feed, and livestock looked quite emaciated when spring arrived. One report states that the settlers “neither housed nor milked their cows in winter, having a notion that it would kill them.” Along with poor and profitless cattle were poor and inefficient tools, poor and meager crops, and poor and miserable ideas of farming, one writer said. There were no agricultural journals and few books. But there was some stimulus for change. Agri cultural societies in the major cities came into being after 1784. And an agricultural exhibition, the first in the country, was held in 1810. Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin in 1793 and the granting of a patent for a cast-iron plow in 1797 were followed by a series of mechanical advances. The mowing machine, hay rake, reaper and grain separator were all developed in the first half of the 19th century. The first improved livestock were imported in 1819, and by 1850 breeding had become a tool for improvement of both crops and livestock. Following passage of the Morrill Act by Congress in 1862, many states established land-grant colleges to provide training in agriculture and the mechani cal arts. Also, state agricultural experiment stations came into being. Creation of the Agricultural Extension Service under the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 provided an ef fective system for disseminating research results to fanners in every county. The North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Str tion was established in 1877, and the institution now known as North Carolina State University opened its doors in 1889. Extension work in the state was started in the early 1900s, even before the Smith-Lever Act was passed. A full-scale revolution in farming methods, based on a backlog of accumulated research data began in the 1930s, and accelerated rapidly following World War II. By the 1960s, the United States was wrestling with the unprecedented problem of very large sur plus stocks of grain and other agricultural com modities held under government loan. The picture has changed in the 1970s as a food short world has turned increasingly to this country for badly needed supplies of food and feed grains. Many countries experienced bad weather which cut grain yields in both 1972 and 1974. Meanwhile, ex panding world population and rising incomes in creased the demand for better diets. The United States now exports $22 billion worth of farm products annually — the output of 96 million acres, or one acre of every four. Truly, the nation’s system of agricultural research, education and extension has paid off to an extent that even President Lincoln could not have foreseen when he signed the Morrill Act into law. To Chair Carter Campaign RALEIGH — Ms. Louise Muse and Mr. Paul Johnson have been named to chair the Jimmy Carter for President Campaign in Pamlico County. Joel McCleary, Director of the Carter for President effort in North Carolina, announced in Raleigh Wednesday that Ms. Muse and Johnson would assume the leadership role in Pamlico County. In a joint statement issued in Raleigh, McCleary, Ms. Muse and Johnson noted that the Carter/Mondale Campaign would be part of an overall democratic effort. “Our campaign theme is ‘Democratic Unity in ’76,”’ according to the statement. “We intend to apply that theme in Pamlico County.” “We want to elect democrats from the Courthouse to the White House,” according to the three. “We need to do so if we are to restore responsible and responsive government to .Raleigh and to Washington.” McCleary noted, “We could not be more please that our campaign will have the help and support of Ms. Muse and Mr. Johnson.” The statement also noted that Ms. Muse and Johnson would be working closely with Noel Allen, First District Coordinator for the Carter/Mondale Campaign in North Carolina. -T111U K.
