Hypertension, high blood
oressure, is responsible for 100
deaths a day in this country, af
flicting nearly one out of every
ten adults. The most susceptable
to it are those with a family
history of hypertension and
blacks, whose risks are twice
That of whites.
High blood pressure has been
compared to a time bomb, silent
jntil it explodes into fatal or
crippling stroke, heart disease
or kidney failure. Many who
have this disease are unaware of
it and some that are aware of it
do not adequately comply with
the treatment. Hypertension
causes no pain or other symp
toms until the individual is suf
fering from the long term conse
quences of the disease.
Blood pressure is the force in
which the blood pushes against
the walls of the blood vessels. A
measurement is taken painless
ly with a cuff that fits around the
upperarm and a gauge which
gives the reading. A reading of
your blood pressure is usually
taken each time you visit your
doctor’s office.
This reading is given as a frac

Caswell
News
ByJeanl.C.Tabory
"Somebody is waiting.” That
was the title of the film. It
doesn’t tell much does it? It
could be about anything for
everybody is waiting for
something or somebody.
This film was about profound
ly retarded children in a state in
stitution in California. It was
shown this week at Caswell tc
nine teachers who are taking
part in a week-long workshop on
“Teaching the Severely and Pro
foundly Retarded” taught by
Mrs. Ann Isley from the Depart
ment of Public Instruction, Divi
sion of Exceptional Children.
They were so impressed that all
the teachers and trainers were
invited to view the film.
It was a story of growth, not
miraculous growth but steady
growth. This was very rewar
ding to the workers because in
the past there had been no
growth. They came to work, fed
their profoundly handicapped
charges, changed their diapers
and watched them lying in bed
for years. They found little
satisfaction in their work.
They then decided that if a
change was to come they must
bring it so they watched the
physical therapist who came to
the building. They learned from
them how to exercise bent limbs
and they did this regularly.
There were not enough physical
therapists to help the children
every day. They pushed their
residents in their wheel chairs
out into the sunshine. They
brought in rabbits so that
children could reach out and and
stroke their soft fur. These were
children who in the past had not
been able to reach out.
No miracles. Nobody got up
and walked or suddenly talked in
sentences. But children who had
been tube-fed were able to eat
from the spoon. And the workers
began to find that their jobs were
exciting.
It is only in the past few years
that we have begun to discover
that profoundly retarded
children can learn. We have
much more to find out. That is
why we are having this work
shop at Caswell. The profoundly
retarded are waiting for people
to learn how to teach them.
systolic pressure, measures the
force of the heart pushing blood
from the heart into the blood
vessels. The bottom number, the
diastolic pressure, measures the
pressure when the heart is at
rest between beats. A pressure
of between 100/70 and 140/90 is
usually considered normal for
an adult.
A higher blood pressure
means there is too much strain
on the heart and you should con
sult your doctor.

What will it Cost to farm, arid
what wilt it C06t consumers to
eat in the year 2,000? r
An ecohomist at Kansas State
University has eomeup with
figures, based on an Wlation
rate of 6 percent, that include
$78,000 fora tractor and $3.10 for
a dozen eggs!
Dr. T.Roy Bogle says farmers
can expect a drastic increase in
all farming expenses although
some will rise faster than others.
For example, a ‘77 model
tractor, selling for $20,000 today,
will cost at least $78,000 in 2000 if
inflation continues at 6 percent,
but it could sell for more than
that because machinery prices
are tied closely to labor costs
which could exceed the 6 percent
figure.
Fertilizer and fuel costs are
expected to increase faster than
the inflation rate in the next 23
years because of shortages. If it
costs $8 an acre to fertilize wheat
ground today, Bogle says it will
cost more than $31 an acre in
2000 and fuel costs for wheat
would jump from $4.50 an acre to
approximately $17.50.
What this means is that if all
expenses increase at 6 percent a
year, .the cost of producing a
bushel of wheat will soar froiti
approximately $3.25 today to
$12.58 by 2000. And the same
applies for other crops and
The former's cost of producing
a pound of beef or a half gallon of
Milk also will increase. Simply
stated, if a fafmer spends 50
centsto produce a pound of grain
today, it will cost him $1.95 by
2000. if It costs a dairyman 9.5
percent to produce a pound of
milk this year, it will cost him
37.5 cents ih 23 years.
Six percent annual inflation
would also take its toll on
consumers. If there is 3 cents
worth of wheat in every loaf of
bread today, there would have to
be approximately 12 cents in
every loaf in 2000.
Consumers would have to pay
$2.75 for a pound of hamburger;
$3.30 for a half gallon of milk and
$3.10 for a dozen eggs in the year
2000. Although there are many
variables in connection with this
type of projection, it does give
great cause for concern.
Whether you look at the figure
from a producer’s viewpoint or a
consumer’s viewpoint, inflation
is a real problem and one that
must be brought under better
control.
Hints For Canning Vegetables
With Garden Fresh Taste
Prepared by Pamlico County
Agricultural Extension
Service
The food that comes out of
your canning jar can be no bet
ter than the quality of raw food
you put into that jar. So, when
you get ready for home canning,
use vegetables that are young,
tender and freshly gathered.
That old rule, two hours from
garden to container, is still a
good one. Any delay in canning
gives the bacteria in the food a
chance to grow. But, even if it is
convenient, don’t prepare the
food, or even just part of it, the
evening before. This holds true
even if you plan to store the
vegetables in the refrigerator
overnight. Several hours in
storage, even cool storage, gives
the sugar in vegetables a chance
to turn to starch with the result
of some loss of flavor.
Here are some other sugges
tions to help you can vegetables
with garden-fresh goodness.
Handle vegetables in small bat
ches, prepare only enough for
one pressure canner load at a
time.
Wash, rinse and drain
vegetables thoroughly. Any soil
left clinging to the vegetables
may carry bacteria that will not
be destroyed in the canning pro
cess and that could add up to
food spoilage. Slice vegetables
and cook if using hot pack
method. Pack vegetables into
jars loosely enough for liquid to
circulate between the pieces, but
tightly enough to prevent waste
of jar space. After you’ve pack
ed the vegetables into the jar,
Vandimere, Oriental
Rebound For
Strong Victories
by C. Ray Dudley
Vandemere has had trouble
against Arapahoe and now faced
a strong hitting, weak pitching
Stonewall team. In the top of the
first a double by Anthony Jones
brought in Earl Sawyer for a 1-0
lead. Stonewall failed to score in
the bottom of the first despite
Diane Jones’s hard hit single. In
the top of the second, Frankie
Cox and Jackie Sawyer doubled
followed by a phenomel
homerun, in fact a grand slam
homerun by Lamont Fisher.
After all of the action had
cleared, Vandemere had six
runs and a 7-0 lead. In the bottom
of the third, Steven Carey
started things off for Stonewall
with a double, followed by
singles by David Gaskins, Diane
Jones and Tom Squires which
was good for five runs and a 5-7
deficit. In the top of the third
Vandemere had all but sealed
the victory fin' Stonewall would
come no closer. Singles by
Lester Squires and Nat Brown,
doubles by Lester Squires,
Anthony Jones, and Frankie Cox
along with seven walks was
enough for nine runs and a 16-5
lead. Stonewall couldn’t keep up
in their 16-5 loss to Vandemere.
Lamont Fisher was the winning
pitcher for Vandemere while
Steve Carey was tabbed with the
loss for Stonewall.
The last time Oriental and
Grantsboro met Oriental gave
the Rattlers a big surprise. This
time it was the same thing as
Oriental surprised Grantsboro
by a score of 9-2. In the top of the
second, John Jones singled along
with two errors which brought in
four runs. In the top of the third,
John Paul singled for one run
and a 5-0 lead. In the top of the
fourth, John Jones
tripled.Grantsboro failed to
heap the runs but got two runs
for the final 9-2 margin. The
winning pitcher was Mandwell
Taylor. Joe Small was credited
with the loss.

cover them with fresh boiling
water or with the cooking liquid
in which they were heated for
packing. Remember to leave
“headspace” for one inch. Knife
out air bubbles and seal your
jars.
Then process food, following
the recommendations in your
favorite canning book. Do
remember that low acid
vegetables (all but tomatoes)
are to be steam processed under
10 pounds pressure to obtain 240°
D temperature necessary to kill
harmful bacteria. If you do not

for the correct processing times
for the various vegetables, con
