Will Instructions Available RALEIGH - A free booklet explaining 'in 'lavmen's terms many of the requirements of drawing a will in North Carolina is being distributed free by the lawyers of North Carolina. Leon H. Corbett of Burgaw, chairman of the Lawyers of North Carolina Public Infor mation Committee, said the booklet was prepared especially to answer questions the average person may have about the legal aspects of making wills. Corbett said the recent series of articles published by the. Sunday and Daily newspapers in North Carolina had done much to focus attention on problems of probate. "Unfortunately," said Cor bett, "The series' was quite naturally prepared for national consumption and left many specifics unanswered for North Carolinians." "The booklet prepared by the Lawyers of North Carolina will do much to spell out North . Carolina law concerning wills." Suddenly You're 65! Time slips by quickly.

CHURCH STREET ' HERTFORD, N.C PHONE 426-540 , Hertford, N. C, Thursday, Much According to Dr. W.R. Wagoner, agency president, the money is allocated to the Children's Homes on the basis of the number of full and half orphans served in any given year. - "The generous contribution from The Duke Endowment will help us greatly toward meeting the total growth and develop ment needs of our children," Dr. Wagoner said.' "This resource has been used primarily for enrichment and improvement in quality of services rendered." Also it has been helpful in providing training for child care workers, reference books, audio-visual aids, tutors, and consultants to upgrade the services offered by the Baptist Children's Homes. The Duke Endowment was established in 1924 by James Buchanan Duke to aid educational, health, child care, and religious facilities. Child care Institutions in North Carolina and South Carolina have found their costs tripled in the past decade. By the end of 1972, total allocations from The Duke Endowment to beneficiaries totaled more than $361 million. Fund Raisers For ACC Are Announced WILSON Blnd W. Worley of Winstojf-Salem, and T.J.

Britt today - - reminded North Carolinians that with spring just around the corner, so, too are the thunderstorms that spawn tornadoes. r , North Carolina has several ' tornadoes a year. Last year, the first one occurred May 15 near Greenville cutting a path about 100 yards wide for seven miles. Only two persons were injured, neither seriously. Damage to homes and other buildings exceeded $600,000. In October, a tornado cut a skipping path 150 yards wide, 3 ' 4 mile long, northeastward across eastern Jacksonville destroying a section of a large warehouse; but, there were no deaths or injuries In 1971, however, two people were killed and 64 injured when a February tornado swept down in Fayettevllle and vicinity. - leaving $2 million damage in its 1 wake. April is the month of greatest - tornado frequency in North Carolina; . about half of all I tornadoes in the State occur in March, April, or May. Britt, whose State Civil Defense Agency has the responsibility of coordinating relief efforts after a tornado devestates an area, warned citizens that when a tornado approaches, immediate action may mean life or death. The National Weather Service of the U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration relays weather conditions to the news media: . . .A Tornado Watch. . .means weather conditions are ripe for tornadoes to develop. Stay tuned to radio or television and listen for weather bulletins, even if the sky is blue; a storm may appear suddenly. Occasionally scan the horizon for the approach of dark threatening clouds. There may not be time for an official tor nado warning. Stay alert for the abrupt onset of violent wind, rain, hail, or a funnel shaped cloud. Listen for a sudden increase in wind noise. When in doubt, take cover. Tornadoes are often obscured by rain or dust; some occur at night. ...A Tornado Warning... means a tornado actually has been sighted or indicated by radar. If the twister is nearby, seek . inside shelter im mediately, preferably in a storm cellar, underground excavation, or steel-framed or concrete-reinforced building. . . .If you are at home, open some windows, but stay from them; take shelter in the basement or under heavy furniture in the center area of the house.

We see so many people who are not sincere. They fill positions from govern mental spheres down to person-to-person levels Someone hss said that if you are too sincere you are regarded u weak, and you can be exploited and maneuvered by the hardcore individuals in thewond. We don't agree with this thinking. It is still a good feeling to meet people who are sincerely good, and honest It is through the"holding-on"of the sincere people in -this world that the destiny of man can and will be reshaped. It is through the efforts of sincere people that we can say -"God has truly Messed our land." OUR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: "THROUGH ! YOUR OWN SINCERITY i - YOU CAN CONTROL ; YOUR INFLUENCE."
