The offering for the Lottie
Moon Christmas offering na
tional goal is $29 million and our
church has pledged to give $150.
Lottie Moon was born in
December, went to China in

the Lord, and let our Christmas
offering be a suitable Christmas
gift to our Lord.

Beta Club
Meets
By CHRIS DIXON
The Pamlico County High
School Chapter of the Beta Club
held a meeting on November 19,
1976. During the meeting we
heard from various committees
with the first being the Bulletin
Board Committee. They plan to
put up a huge calender in
the hall for the use of all
students. It will be decorated in
the Christmas spirit.
Next, we heard from the
Thanksgiving Service Project
Committee. We plan to have all
the members bring something to
put in the Thanksgiving baskets,
which will be given to elderly
people throughout the county
Then we heard from the
Christmas Program Committee.
We plan to decorate the lun
chroom and sponsor the door
decorating contest.
Later on an idea came up
about going around the county as
a group and picking up trash
along the highways.
Do remember that the club
always tries to help our county
as well as our school.

Full Adjustment
Lowered In
December
Retail customers of Carolina
Power & Light Company in
North Carolina will get a credit
of .074 cents per kilowatt-hour
(kwh) on their bills under the
“approved fuel charge” during
December.
Because of this credit, 1,000
kwh of electricity will cost $1.03
less than in November, when the
fuel charge was 29t per 1,000
kwh.
The “approved fuel charge,”
reflects monthly variations in
CP&L’s actual cost of fuel, com
pared to the amount the com
pany is permitted to collect for
fuel expense in its base rates.
Christmas Cheer Needed
Do you have an extra
Christmas card you would like to
send, but cannot think of a per
son to send it to. Well, we at the
Department of Social Services
know of someone who would
welcome a card. This person
would be elderly and either
home bound or in a nursing
home. These people would like to
receive a c?-‘ from someone. If
you have an extra card, call
Mrs. Kell at the Department of
Social Services, 745-4086 and we
will give you a name and ad
dress for where to send the card.
Guide
to
Good x
Eating^
The American diet is
changing. There’s concern
about usage of our great land
for animal feed. There’s
concern about “healthful”
eating. There’s concern about
the food dollar. For these
reasons, the homemaker is
looking at alternate food
sources of protein to meet
the needs of the family. “Do
we need meat in our diet?” is
a question often asked.
Meat, fish and poultry have
long been known to be “good
protein sources.” They have
this reputation because they
offer the body “complete or
high quality protein.” That is,
they have certain “amino
acids” which are the building
blocks our body needs to
manufacture protein. Milk
also is an excellent source of
protein. We can manufacture
some of the amino acids
needed, but not all.
Therefore, we turn to food to
provide those missing,
essential building blocks. But
what about nuts, seeds, dried
beans and legumes?
Plants are a source of
protein too, and are
inexpensive. The point here is
that plant proteins do not
have all the amino acids
needed by the body. We must
have all the building blocks
present simultaneously or the
body cannot manufacture the
protein we need to build and
repair tissue. How aboout
‘complementing’ these
incomplete plant proteins?
For example, the protein of
milk can “fill the gap" of the
amino acids that are limited
or missing in nuts. Together,
nuts and milk offer the body
a complete protein pattern.
Besides - nuts taste good, and
milk is readily available . . .
an unbeatable combination
any way you look at it!
For a nutritious snack, try
“Peanut Butter Bread.” It
will be sure to appeal to the
family appetite, as well as
help meet the body’s daily
protein needs. Bon appetit'
