TThy l Am Proud
(H America -
The following tnoughts of
students from Mrs. Grace
Coston's 5th and 6th grades at
Hertford Grammar School on
"Why I Am Proud of America"
merit publishing.
WHY I AM PROUD OF
AMERICA
' Why am I proud of America?
I'm proud of her because she
helps the unfortunate people.
Since she has many factories and
raw materials, she uses some of
them for other countries. If you
counted up the money we spent
for others, you would see that
some is owed. We helped some
countries get independence. One
was Cuba . I wonder if it was the
right thing to do? We try to make
peace. We built a building and
founded an organization called
the United Nations.' That is
where the countries talk over
their problems! Right how, we
are fighting with South Vietnam
to keep Communism from taking
over that country. Ye, countries
of the world, you owe a lot to the
land of the free and the home of
the brave. And, for me, thank
you America for being helpful.

Why I Am Proud To
Live In America
I am proud to be an American
because we have so many
freedoms. Freedom of Worship,
Freedom of the Press, Freedom
from Want, Freedom of Speech
and Freedom from Fear.
Freedom is precious. We don't
have to worry about someone
coming to take us to jail in the
middle of the night. We have the
most beautiful scenery to the
world. We have beautiful
mountains and valleys. We have
enough food that nobody starves.
I like to see the' American flag
because it reminds me of all the
battles fought to help make
America free. America has
anything you could ask for.
Terrie Dow Morgan,
5th Grade
Why I Am Proud To
Live In America
The reason why I am proud of
America is we have many
freedoms. That is why the
pioneers came over here,
because of these freedoms. Our
freedoms are : Freedom of
Worship, Freedom of Speech,
Freedom of the Press, Freedom
from Want, Freedom from Fear.
We appreciate our freedoms.
Have you ever heard the song,
"America the Beautiful?" Its
words are true.
Our flag is red, white and blue.
This flag is beautiful. '
There is one thing America is
trying to get and that is "Peace."
Our scenery is beautiful. We
have many things to look at and
admire.
There is one' thing that
America isn't, and that is being
backwards! Many places aire
backward, but we are not. As we
live in America, we need to love
and to admire it. Who is not
proud of America?
June Dean Fleetwood
; 6th Grade
Why I Am Proud To
Live In America
I am proud of America
because it is a country that helps
other countries to time of war
and peace. America is also a free
countcy. We have freedom of
worship and freedom from want.
We have freedom of speech and
freedom of the press. America
has helped other countries to
progress and helped them to win
their independence. America has
sent great men to talk peace with
communist countries.
America has spacious skies,
amber waves of grain and purple
mountain majesties. This is why
I am proud to live in America.
Doug Harrell
6th Grade
Why I Am Proud To
Live In America
I am proud of America
because of its many freedoms,
and because of our beautiful flag',
and the stirring poem Francis
Scott Key wrote about our
country, which is now our
national anthem. I am also proud
of bur many impressive
sceneries and of our many good
schools and colleges spread
throughout our country. I am
proud of the many people like our
soldiers that try mortally to
defend our country from Com
munism and for our scientists
and inventors, who constantly
strive to improve our country.
America is truly great! All my
life I shall domy best to keep it
that way.
Joseph Steliga
6th Grade
Why I Am Proud To
Live In America
I am proud to live in America
when I think about our
forefathers fighting to protect
our country so we could have
freedom. When I look at the flag,
I think of our country's beautiful
oceans, waterfalls, streams,
rivers, lakes, forests and land.
I am proud to live to America
because it is not a stingy nation.
When another country needs
money and needs help, we give it
to them! When a country is at;
war, we will help them. There
are many other reasons that I am
proud to be an American that
can't be expressed, but I think
this is enough to tell you that
America is a great country.

Thanks To Mrs. M. B. Taylor June Is Dairy Monti
By Mrs. Judy Steward
Home Economics Instructor
Perquimans County High School
I feel that through this ex
periment the girls were able to
get an idea of the methods used
and the types of research being
carried out in the area of
nutrition in addition to the idea of
the value of milk in the diet.
Most of the girls seemed to
take a great interest in this
experiment. They were anxious
to help with Risky and Frisky
and interested to the results of
the experiment. Some, however,
were sympathetic toward the
rats feeling that it was wrong to
experiment with them.
The feelings of a few of the
girls concerning the un
cleanliness of the rats seemed to
interfere with their learning.
Perhaps somf other laboratory
animal such as a guinea pig
would have caused less of
negative reaction from them.
It seems that this experiment
couldThave naa greater success
as a learning experience if in
troduced at a different time. The
students to the freshman classes
who expressed the greatest in
terest were in the midst of
clothing construction and thus
were unable to spend as much
time as would have been possible
had they been studying nutrition
exclusively.
Thank you for bringing this
learning experience to our Home
Economics classes.
NEEDLEPOINT HOBBY
Fullerton, Pa.-George Sacher,
76, keeps busy during his re
tirement years doing needlepoint.
He has been doing this for
twenty years and many of his
canvases decorate the walls in
his home. He also makes purses
and other objects.
June is Dairy Month, stated
today by Mrs. M. B. Taylor,
Home Economics Extension'
Agent. Are you meeting your
requirement of milk? Now is a
good time to establish a milk
drinking habit, states Mrs.
Taylor. Everyone should follow
the Food Guide everyday. The
milk group states that children
under 9 two to three cups;
pregnant women- three or more;
nursing mothers, four or more.
However cheese can be used for
part of the milk.
Are you guilty of the following
reasons for not drinking milk?
Don't think it is important;
Think it is too expensive; Don't
like it; Don't have it.
Riskey and Friskey proved to
you why you should drink milk.
So don't be Riskey and run into
bad health. Try to establish good
eating habits by meeting your
daily requirement of milk

What this country really needs is a good
5 savings account.
According to leading economists, the average
American family of four with an annual income of
'' $10,000 should be saving at least 5 of this in
come each and every year. 5 of $10,000 is $500
which is a lot of money. And when you're saving
a lot of money, you should be earning a good in
terest rate on it. We at Peoples Bank pay a good
interest rate on savings. We pay 5 guaranteed
interest on our Peoples Premium Passbook Sav
ings. Our Premium Passbook requires an initial
deposit of $500 (how ironic, on $10,000 income
you should be saving $500 anyway) and interest
is computed on a daily basis. So save a nickel of
every dollar you earn, and we'll give you a nickel
for every dollar you can save in a Peoples Premium
