Ford Releases Film Oji 'Power' Increasingly improved and imaginative power farming can turn the tide of battle against famine in the world much in the same fashion that Henry Ford provided tractor power to help alleviate Great Bri tain's .-, food crisis : during World, War I. That's the message of a new 12-minute film, "Pio neering With Power," re cently released by Ford Tractor . Division. The 16 mm film, in color as well as . black and white, com memorates 50. years of Ford tractors on the. farms af' thfr world TontaiiSragfoofege '-. from the National Film Archives in Washington, D. C, and the Imperial War Museum in London, the film tells how - Henry Ford turned out 7,000 of the world's first mass-produced; trac tors Fordsons to help in crease British food produc tion at a time when more .than half a million tons of , allied shipping headed for Great Britain were be ing sunk each month. The British were dependent on imports for two-thirds of their food, supply during. world War I. -"After meeting ' the Brit ish order, .: Mn Ford , then offered the Fordson to Am erican farmers, v It , was the first tractor, to, Ibe priced within the , reach of hund reds of thousands of farm ers'.

He described the Religious Society of Friends as an amazing group which, de spite its , smallness, . has given an incredible amount of service in generating Christian living that you don't see groups do that are much larger than the Quakers as they have a deep personal conviction.

Older Citizens In our society, we are prone to think of senior citizens as a separate cla$s; with special problems. This approach often leads us in the wrong direction as we seek ways to serve them, believes Mrs. Ila Grey White, extension home ec onomist, Perquimans Coun ty.. Senior citizens are our parents and grandparents; tomorrow they will be us, and in due time, senior citizens will be our chil dren. In fact, the needs of senior citizens are indis tinguishable from our own needs. One challenge in our time, therefore, is to pro vide for the needs of this segment of our population. Since the problem concerns individuals of this large and growing larger group, rather than the group as a whole, the solution to problems of senior citizens might best be handled on an individual basis, Mrs. White points out. Learning craft skills could be of much value for the senior citizen who is facing the loss of an occupation and a , curtail ment of income, she points out. Often we are apt to think the chief value of crafts for the senior citi zen is therapeutic. In times past, we thought the pri mary value was economic or a hobby. If we com bine the therapeutic, hobby, and economic values of crafts, participation is more rewarding. As an added bonus, crafts can place older people in a situation which involves new rela tionships. There is one important aspect we should not over look when thinking about crafts for this age .group, Mrs. White' states." It is believed that long before the days of retirement, a person should take advan tage of his opportunities to study art and crafts. While creative imagina tion never dies, thp hnm.-in mechanism may and often does slow down with age. Adult mental ability is maintained over a long span of years and creative expression in the senior citizen brings great satis faction. Some senior citizens may have limitations in physi cal abilities.. For this rea son it is excellent when men and women have had previous training in arts and crafts. This training is best started with children in the- public schools and remains a part of their en tire lives. However, craft courses can be designed for senior citizens. There is a need for more craft in struction of this type, Mrs, White indicates. Some lo cales offer art and craft courses through the public schools, the Agricultural Extension Service, Univer sity Extension, industrial firms, recreational centers, and Rrivately , sponsored facilities. Dr. Edward Stieglitz, au thor of The Second Forty Years, wrote: "The wisest investment of leisure lies in creative activities. There are many who recognize the value of hobbies but fail to make the: fundamen tal distinction between ere ' ative and non-creative hob-1 bies. The satisfactions of the one are lasting and ac cumulative; the pleasures of the other are , transient. There is an immense fund: of pride in knpwing, or do ing avy pne thing welUt If you ( are. iritgrestfld, in specific information on a particular Craft, contact your county home econom ics .
