Any ; reputable trade, business, or correspondence school in North Carolina, he said, will be ap tfproved by the SUte Board of fi&ducation. Out-of-state ; schools, he noted, should be com. Jj pared with those in our own com munlty college system. , - Phillips warned that students k' and their parents should not sign P contracts with schools until they nave explored with a counselor or other appropriate school person the course of study the student chooses and the cost of it. Con tracts can be a protection to students, but they should be carefully considered and un derstood before they are signed. He advised students to remember that the school agrees to supply only what is written in the con tract. Oral representations of salesmen are not valid and binding, he said. He also warned students to check for small print and seek competent legal advice More signing a contract in volving large sums of money. And contracts, he added, aren't always identified by the word I "contract." 'Concerning correspondence or brief residence courses, Phillips advised students to contact employment managers for suggestions and opinions to determine the acceptability of the training offered. He also suggested studying the literature of the school and comparing costs ' of the same course in a number of hools.

And it is all due to the lovely national leader of the organization - the National President, Mrs. H. Milton Davidson, from Clovis, New Mexico, the land of the roadrunners. The .first introduction to the peppy little roadrunners ap peared in the monthly magazine ' of the American Legion Auxiliary; the National News in 'June, 196B, in an article regarding the candidate for National President, entitled: "New Mexico Presents Marcella" with ja little roadrunner "hotfooting it" across the top of the page through cactus plants, with the Zla sun high In the sky.

Many schools have placement bureaus to assist students to secure work upon the completion of courses. If .there is any doubt or question concerning placement, Phillips suggested requesting the names of graduates for whom the school claims to have obtained positions and contacting these persons about their experiences. A legitimate and reputable institution will always welcome investigation, the State Superintendent said. Legitimate schools are proud of the reputations for honesty and in tegrity and will be glad to have you check on them. Phillips said the curriculum in the State's system of community colleges is broad and varied and nominal in cost. And there are also many other fine schools approved by the State Boad of Education, he said. Plans for post high school education should not be made in a hurry or under pressure from recruiters. School counselors, he noted, can give excellent assistance to students with questions about post secondary education plans. Phillips noted that he had received numerous requests concerning the merit of various programs for the recognition of teenagers by having their names published in a book which is for sale to them or others. Some of these organizations are legitimate and responsible sources of recognition, he said, If so, the organizations will be listed in the Approved IList of National Contests and Activities published by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Copies are available from Secretary to the Committee on National Contests and Activities, 1202 Sixteenth St., N. W., Washington, D. C. 20036. Progressing pins.

Home Agent Perauimans County Today's consumer of eggs is very fortunate because the eggs on the market are of a con sistently higher quality than those of several years ago. This increased quality hasn't come about by accident. Production and handling methods have been improved. Rigid quality standards have also been set. These quality grades are Grade AA or Fresh Fancy, Grade A and Grade B. Relatively few Grade B eggs are on the market, most eggs will be of Grade A quality or higher. The quality of the egg is determined by candling. This is the commercial method of examining the interior of eggs without breaking their shells. The eggs pass over a light beam and the candler judges the conditloi of the yolk, tne wnne, tne size oi the air cell - and removes any defective eggs. Also, before graded eggs are put' on the market, they are frequently washed mechanically in a sanitizing detergent in order to meet U. S. standards that say eggs must be clean. After this cleansing process, a fine mist of oil is sprayed over the large end of the egg. This coating seals the pores and retards loss of quality. Many consumers still confuse size with quality. Just because an egg is Jumbo of Large, it doesn't mean it is of higher quality. The size is only , an indication of weight. The color of the shell of eggs can vary from pure white to deep brown. But the shell color has no effect on the quality, flavor or food value. ' The wise homemaker will buy eggs by size and grade designations and use them often in meal planning. The chip many people carry on their shoulders is just bark. like the snow dlesticks holding white lighted candles. The menu consisted of turkey, country ham, salads, beaten biscuits, southern style corn bread and many other treats to make up a delectable meal. The guests were assisted by Mrs. James Tuttle and Mrs. Carson Spivey Jr. at the buffet style supper. Mrs. M. M. Spivey Sr. served the coffee.
