Ozell Sessons, a Negro farmer in the Ahoskie Creek Watershed, may have summed up the views of most of his neighboring farmers when he said, "Channelization offers me an opportunity to improve my economic level.

Its primary purpose is to study the problem? of the aged, coordinate existing programs and expand services. A special emphasis is placed on the utilization of volunteers especially involving the older citizens, as well as younger people to help serve the needs of the aged. Recognition is due to the Ec. 'omic Improvement Council, which works only with low income persons, for their work with the aged. The EIC began operation in 1965 and has worked effectively with senior citizens. Contributing significantly to the work with the aged is Mrs. Pattie Weston at the EIC Center in Elizabeth City. Mrs. Delleria Collins of Mantep has been named recently by the EIC as a ten county coordinator for their program with senior citizens.

ROOM AIR CONDITIONERS CM Ml Pros, Cons of Organic Gardening Are Reviewed - By M. E. GARDNER N. C. State University . We axe reading more ' and more about organic gardening and the i superiority of foods pro duced by this method of plant nutrition.: What is organic gar dening? Simply stated, it is the production of food crops by the use of organic materials, ; such as animal manures, oom post and plant residues,' as contrasted with the use : of i commercial fertilizers. Plants need a bal- anced ration just as animals. We , usually think of a balanced fer- , tllizer as containing nitrogen (N), phosphorus . (P), and potassium (K) along with the minor or trace elements, iron, magnesium, sulphur and others. It is not possible to get this balance in as organio source with any degree of accuracy; so why take chances. Animal manures vary widely in nutritive value, depending on the kind and how the animals were fed. Sheep and poultry manures contain more nitrogen than horse and cattle manures, but all of them are deficient in phosphorus and potash when we consider the total nutritive require ments of our plants for Rev.

However, unless you sup plement the organicswlth commercial fertilizer, you cannot expect max imum plant performance. ' Another point. Any organic material added to the soil must be broken down by soil micro organisms before it can be absorbed by the roots. In ' other words, within the plant all the elements have the same effect regardless ' of whether they were added to the soil as organics or as commercial fertilizers There are many soil types in North Carolina from coarse sands to heavy clays. Many of them will develop defi ciencies of some of the essential . plant food elements.

" James E." Patching, Jr., regional administrator of the ' department's - Employment Standards 1 Administration (ESA), said that two sections of the new law amend the Fair ' Labor Standards Act (wage and hour law). The changes became effective July 1. . Section 906 (b) (1) extends the - equal pay provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act to executive, administrative and professional employees and to outside sales people. . The equal pay provisions of the Act require the same pay for men ' and women doing sub stantially equal work, requiring substantially equal skill, effort and responsibility under similar working conditions in the same establishment. Where discrimination exists, pay rates of the lower paid sex must be raised to equal those of the KEATON'S TV SALES & 115 MkL St Hertford, lit ML?

Section 906 (b (2-3) amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to extend minimum wage and overtime pay benefits to em ployees -of nursery schools, public and private kin' dergartens and other preschool enterprises. Such employees now Drought under the Act, unless otherwise exempt, must be paid at least $1.60 per hour and not less than m times their regular pay rates for. all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Patching said the number of preschool centers is increasing because more women with children are entering the work force. Women now comprise about 39 percent of the nation's total workforce. ?
