Speaks Out
by Gale Sawyer
The world of modern business
provides a challenge to an in
dividual and an opportunity for
an individual. It provides ma
terial goods and services for
buyers and good jobs for those
who are properly qualified.New
positions of all kinds are be
ing created every day. These
positions require men and wo
men with a mastery of work
skills, good work havlts, proper
attitudes and an appreciation
and understanding of what mo
dern business is and how it
operates.
The modern business office
is the core of business activ
ities. Here Information is pro
cessed, records are kept, dic
tation is taken and transcribed,
mail is received and sent, com
munications of all kinds are
used.
At this point, the business
courses at Pamlico Technical
Institute play their most impor
tant role. They help to better
prepare one for office employ
ment and give one an on-the
job training, such as filling
out applications, having Inter
views (the do's and don't’s when
being interviewed), taking tests,
and actually working with a
business (bookkeeping).Various
other courses help to prepare
one's outside appearance, com
munication techniques, how to
run a business, how to cope
with situations that you may
run into, how to increase your
vocabulary, and the most im
portant skills that are needed
in running an office.
Through the courses at PTI
I learned to develop proper at
titudes toward my company, job
and other enployees and cus
tomers. All the courses have
ehlped to prepare me for the
business world. The skills and
techniques and shortcuts have
also helped me to develop a
“cost consciousness” avoiding
waste of time and materials
and to be more economical and
efficient In my office op
erations.
Getting a job is not always
easy, even though some gradu
ates seem to find one right
away. I feel that an Individu
al should make plans for find
ing employment as far ahead
as possible. Getting that first
job Is going to be an outstand
ing highlight of one's life.
Numerous opportunities In
business await those who have
the desirable personal qualities
and the skill and knowledge
developed In these business
courses. I wish you success for
employment In the business
world, but let the business cour
ses at PTI better prepare you!
Rotarians
Hold Meeting
By Burt Titcomb
Bert Bailey presided over the
Rotary Club meeting and got
some hearty laughs by telling a
“Subtle English joke” as a
warm up. He th.n reported on
the progress of the shrimp ticket
donations. Bill Harris reported
the sale of 140 and most mem
bers have sold their original ten
and ordered more. A huge suc
cess is predicted.
Johnny Pye was guest of the
Rotarians for the evening. Mr.
and Mrs. Pye have taken over
Norman’s Grocery and the
Gallery Restaurant. Jim Paden
of New Bern, attended the
meeting to make up for a meet
ing he had missed.
Tom Reed showed a film of
vital interest, “How To Save A
Choking Victim.” The doctor
commentator pointed out that
the victim cannot speak, turns
blue, collapses and usually in
dicates the problem by grasping
his or her throat. He compared
this with a still-conscious heart
attack victim who can speak.
Everyone should see a film like
this or its equivalent.
CP&L To Give
Fuel Credit
For the third consecutive
month, retail customers of
Carolina Power and Light Co.
In Nortlf Carolina will And a
credit rather than an additional
charge under the heading of
"approved fuel charge" on bills
rendered during August.
The credit on August bills will
amount to only three cents per
thousand kilowatt-hours, com
pared to a credit of 55 cents
per thousand kwh on bills dur
ing July.
James M. Davis, Jr.,CP&L»s
manager of rates and service
practices, said the reduction In
the credit resulted from a drop
In the amount of electricity the
company was able to generate
from nuclear fuel during the test
period upon which the “ap
proved fuel charge" for August
is calculated. "This resulted
In our having to burn a larger
amount of more expensive fos

oil, to generate the power our
The Fiber
Fad —
Right Or
Wrong?
From Agricultural
Extension Service __
A popular Idea today Is to
add fiber or roughage to the
diet. This Is not a new Idea.
Why, then, the sudden Interest?
Recent studies by a London
doctor led him to theorize that
many ‘man-made” diseases -
obesity, colon cancer, heart
diseases, diabetes - are caused
by urbanization and especially
that we eat less fiber today.
Others have carried the theory
so far as to suggest we could
cure cancer and high choles
terol by Increasing our fiber
intake.
The medical profession as a
whole does not accept fiber as
a “cure-all*, but does recog
nize the value of fiber In pre
venting constipation and In the
treatment of diverticular (bo
wel) diseases. With the
Increased consumption of re
fined foods and the decreased
use of fresh fruits and vege
tables, today’s American does
eat less fiber than his coun
terpart at the turn of the cen
tury. So, we could safely add
some fiber to our diet - but
don’t go overboard. Fiber can
cause problems for persons
with such conditions as ulcer
ative colitis. Also, whole grains
which are a good fiber source,
are high In phytates which Inter
fere with the body’s use of
calcium, a necessary element
for muscle contraction. So,
remember, moderation is best.
There are several easy ways
to increase fiber In your diet.
Choose whole grain bread
rather than white bread anduse
whole wheat flckir In your
baked goods Instead of milled
white flour. The reason for
choosing whole grain products
is that the bran or protective
covering of the cereal grain,
which contains the fiber, Is re
moved In the milling process.
For your breakfast cereal, try
miller’s bran (purchased at
health food stores) or the new
“bran” cereals rather than the
more refined cereal products.
Fresh fruits and vegetables
are goqjd fiber sources. In pre
peratlon, leave skins and peel
ings on when possible. Cook
quickly In as small amount of
water as possible. Try the
Oriental method of stir-frying
to preserve the crunch of the
vegetable. Raisins are good
fiber sources. Toss a handful
Into your carrot or apple salads,
knead Into bread dough, press
Into peanut butter jandwlches
or enjoy alone as a snack.
Get our your cookbooks and
also try more recipes using
dried beans and legumes,
another good fiber source.

customers required,” Davis
said.
The “approved fuel charge,”
as It is officially called by the
North Carolina Utilities Com
mission, reflects monthly fluc
tuations In the cost of fuel
required to generate the elec
tricity used by CP&L custo
mers. Davis emphasized, how
ever, that the fuel charge In
North Carolina Is not passed
along “automatically,” as has
been Implied In a recent syn
dicated news story widely
printed throughout the state.
Under a formula established
by the North Carolina Utilities
Commission, the fuel charge on
each month's bill Is calculated
on CP&L's actual fuel cost In
the third, fourth and fifth pro
ceeding months. The company
Is required to present detailed
fuel Information to the com
mission each monthy and a pub
lic hearing Is normally held be
fore the commission rules on
the charge or credit to be passed
on to the customer.
Modern
Business
By Matthew Prescott
When a young person with
little or no office experience
applies for a business position,
what can he or she offer as
proof of ability to do the job?
“Natural ability” Is not quite
enough. Nor are good high
school grades or a pleasing per
sonality likely to be enough.
Modern business needs skilled
people.
But when a young person can
show a diploma from an ac
credited Institution, the em
ployer will approve and wel
come the training.
It pays to attend a school such
as PTI which Is designed to
prepare students for gainful
employment or to up-grade in
dividuals presently employed.
V lslt the new, modern campus
today or call for an appoint
ment.
Day and night classes in busi
ness will begin September 12.
Registration will be held
September 6-September 9.
