Wives Eligible For VA Benefits
The 1,000 wives of American
servicemen missing or captured
in Vietnam make up only a small
percentage of the 580,000 women
t. eligible for educational benefits,
home loans, or both from the
; Veterans Administration, W. R
liillips, Director of the Winston
glem Regional Office, pointed
at today:
j? A law signed by the President
last month made wives of ser
vicemen listed for more than 90
days as missing in action,
captured "or forcibly detained or
interned in the line of duty by a
foreign government or power"
eligible for VA home loan and
educational programs.
The largest group eligible for
VA programs is 180,000 female
veterans of World War II and the
Korean Conflict, Phillips said
Their unused expired loan
benefits were restored by law
last October.
Another 160,000 women now in
service, or who served after
January 31, 1955, qualify under
the current GI Bui for monthly
checks for educational purposes,
and for the home loan program
with loans guaranteed up to 60
per cent with a maximum of
$12,500.
Under a new VA program
175,000 widows of deceased
veterans can go to school, take
training or make home loans
under VA programs. Some, 8,230
thus far have taken advantage of
these major programs.
Wives of 64,000 permanently
and totally disabled veterans are
eligible for VA educational
benefits. Some 1,800 have par
ticipated thus far.
Phillips urged women who
think they may be eligible for
benefits under any VA program,
to contact their nearest VA office
for further information.

ON THE ECONOMY
Early Labor Department fig
ures showed a broad range of
wholesale prices for food and
industrial raw materials Jumped
six-tenths of one per cent in
January, the sharpest rise since
January of 1970. Coupled with
the wholesale-price increase
was a government announce
ment that the nation's sluggish
economy is showing signs of
recovering.
Some lucky North Carolina
Tar Heel will win a Char-Cook
Electric Outdoor Grill plus a
Sunbean Blender on April 6, 1971,
i as the first-place prize winner in
the North Carolina Chicken
Cooking Contest The winner of
the state contest will compete
with forty-nine other good cooks
from across the nation for the
grand prize of $10,000 in the
National Chicken-Cooking
Contest
So, pay attention good cooks!

county and they'll be working
hard to make this project suc
cessful. One of the things we'll need
will be grants and or loans from
governmental and private
sources. But to get them it is
absolutely necessary that they
know the county is interested.
To let them know such is the
case we have to tell them that a
meeting was held in the court
house on Feb. 15 and that the'
building was filled to capacity.
This is how our tricentennial
celebration got started. We held
a meeting in the same place -filled
the courthouse with in
terested people and wound up
with an event that was the
greatest of its kind ever held
here.
There were some prophets of
gloom then, too. You know the
type - with their "this will never
get off the ground" speech.
(Their ancestors told the Wright
Brothers that flight was im
possible). Our successful tricentennial
proved them wrong. Now we
hope that an equally successful
attempt at restoration in the
county will do the same.
Let the doubters stay home
and watch the 'tube,' but we hope
you'll be at the courthouse to
lend your wholehearted support
to tis important effort in behalf of
your county, ycur friends and
your family.
Incidentally, we'll also be
looking for the armchair
politicians who complain that
nothing ever happens around
here. Come on to the meeting.
There'll be plenty happening -and
you can help make it happen.

Harvell, North Carolina

One Way To Use It
A young couple sent a friend
of theirs (an Australian woman
living in this country) a playpen
upon the arrival of her fourth
child. Her "thank you" note
left them somewhat astonished.
"The pen is a perfect god
send," she wrote. "I sit in it
every afternoon and read-and
the children can't get near me."
The Nevada Governor, Mr,
Paul Laxalt declared November
29 to December 5 as National
Homemakers Council Week,
when 1300 delegates from United
States, Alaska, Hawaii and
Puerto Rico assembled at the
fabulous Dunes Hotel in Las
Vegas, Nevada for the 34th
annual National Homemakers
Council. Mrs. Keith Blackner
was President at the helm, with
the theme, You and the World
Around You. Nevada is the
youngest and smallest State in
the National Council, but their
abilities showed, as they were
everywhere, dressed in white
blouses and long blue skirts,
offering assistance and directing
the delegates to their different
assignments and conference
rooms. This was a historic trip
for North Carolina, as was
pointed out by our State
President, Mrs. M. R. Parker,
whose meditation meeting on
Sunday night (our 1st. get
together upon arrival) set the
spirit for the 29 North Carolina
delegates, to enjoy the fine
cooperation, togetherness,
congeniality and sense of
leadership exhibited at the
conference. The real meaning,
however, will be reflected in
what ideas and ideals are carried
back to clubs, counties, districts,
and State Organizations, to
improve and strengthen the
cause for which we all will work
and play. At the Awards Lun
cheon, North Carolina won 3rd.
Place in environment award.
The 1st. Place Award went to
Puerto Rica. Mrs. Helen Turner,
Advisor to National Extension
Homemakers Council, received
the award for exemplory
leadership in developing and
implementing a nation-wide
foods and nutrition educational
program to help raise the
nutritional level of socially and
economically disadvantaged
people. She happened to be my
advisor in the Foods and
Nutritional workshop. Her theme
was "The Good Health Game".
She stressed "Roll'em for
Health. Start with yourself, help
your family, improve your
community, work with hour club
and play Life's Game The Ex
tension Homemaker's way, with
good health and eating the
proper foods. To win the good
health game, you must first
learn the rules for healthy living,
then apply them daily. Begin by

Margaret Browne told the group
- "We have met the enemy and
He is Us? We are the Polluters,
We are the enemies and man will
end by destroying the earth. We
learned, when Mrs. Jean Dart
led us on a panel discussion, that
80 of Indians have the lowest
income. More tribes were
represented (in their most ef
fective costume) and I am sure
th panel on "Tell It Like It is"
had far searching effects from
discussions along with concern
on eating habits. The Indian
women were concerned over air
and water pollution as well as
damage to people and plants
from the use of pesticides, roads
in Alaska, the disposal of
assisting homemakers and
children to recognize the need of
balanced meals and adequate
food for all. "We Can Be Strong,
We Must be Strong, And the
Strength Must Start In The
Home", stated Mrs. Fairchild.
Mrs. M. R. Parker, the State
President, has said, "More
Extension Homemakers Ap
preciate their Heritage and
many more have learned the
aim" "To help lift the Burden,
Point the Better Way, Give
Vision to toil and the hope of a
better day, to teach the longer
life, encourage a soul, To still
greater tasks, a still richer
goal". Club Work teaches
greatest value when its goal is
the inspiration - The Making of
Men!"

to survive in the modern culture
