V Taking firsts in the Poster Contest were Todd Lay, a fourth, grade student from Fines Creek School in Haywood County, and Cynthia Darlene Saunders, a; fifth grader from Chowan Academy in Chowan County.

For junior and senior high school, two new series are available. "A Matter of Fic- ' lion" is designed to stimulate' eading ' motivation and literature appreciation.

Protection "Agriculture' and Consumer ; Protection Act of 1973" (S. 1888) . this bill embraces new concepts . of encouraging production of basic grains and cotton; This is a four-year bill, starting with. l974 ,crop and continuing through the 1977 crop. Vj ;, ' ; i Farmers are induced and encouraged to produce wheat,5 reea grains icorn. Brain sorghum, barley, rye, ana . oats), and cotton.. There is a separate target or guaranteed price provision for . 1974 and 1975 of $2.05 per.bushel . for Wheat, $1.38 per bushel for ; torn, and 38 cents per pound for cotton (with adjustments in 1976 and 1977). which is' a price or income assurance feature for producers in order to allay their fears that (excessive production could force farm prices and income to fall drastically. . There : is '' target price escalator provision applicable to 1976 and 1977 crops. Target prices in 1976 will be 'the 1975 target price adjusted for changes in farm costs from 1975 to 1976, modified for changes in yield per acre. A similar ad- justment will be made in 1977 based on the 'adjusted 1976 target price. . Farmers are to receive their income from the marketplace normally, and only if prices fall below target prices would they receive any Government . payments. These deficiency payments "would normally cover , farmers' costs for production. . Dairy support level is raised by 5 percent, up to 80 percent of parity, for the remainder of the current marketing year and for the next marketing year which begins on April 1, 1974. The increased support level is about where present prices are now; This provides a better guarantee to the dairy industry and thus to the public in the form of adequate dairy sup plies. Payments that can be made to an individual farmer, in the event any payments are,' needed, are limited to $20,000 per person as compared to $55,000 per crop under the Act of ' 1970. :, , ' This Act replaces the Agricultural Act of 1970 which will expire on December 31, 1973. The goal of the Act of 1970 was to adjust production to jvork down the surpluses and to supplement farm income through payments to farmers to set aside portions of their cropland. The production ad justment authority is carried forward from the Agricultural Act of 1970 if it should be needed in the future; However, . Secretary Butz has announced that there will be no set -aside in 1974. ' The bill repeals the present 75 cents a bushel processing certificate cost on wheat and will reduce the cost to bakers and millers approximately $400,000,000 annually. Non-recourse loans are continued with loan levels being raised from $1.00 to $1.10 on corn; from $1.25 to $1.37 on wheat; and from 19"2 cents on cotton to about 25 cents a pound. A long-term conservation , program is established which will be implemented in lieu of the former REAP and Water Bank Act Program which were ; terminated during 1972 REAP because of its heavy orientation to short-term, production- : enhancing characteristics, and Water bank because it over lapped with programs with which it interfaced. ' The bill establishes a forestry incentives , program to ' en courage' development, management, and protection of non-industrial private forest lands, with the following , features: ; i " : ' : ApproprlatioDS of not more , than $25 million annually are i authorized. Priority for fund : distribution among and within States will be determined on ; factors such as acreage of , commercial '. forest .lands,,' potential productivity and eligible ownerships. , assistance will be offered to the i i , j .. ihiiu owners unuer an owner government contract. : Contracts are limited to tracts of 500 acres or less, unless the 'Secretary finds significant public benefit from a contract for a larger area.

Food stamps will buy any food, domestic or imported, and seeds or plants for use in home garden to produce food for the household. Food stamps may be deducted from public assistance checks. Food stamps must be issued twice a month. TERMITE DAMAGE . It is estimated that i. the cost of termite damage in the .U. S. is 500 million dollars a , year.

' ' '.;. ': ''' ' ' Gas Shortage Not A Backroom Gimmick It didn't take a back-room meeting of conspiring, cigar smoking oil executives to create today's gasoline shortage, says a North Carolina State University economist. According to Dr. Edward W. Erickson, a specialist on the economics . of the American petroleum industry and a former staff member of a national Task Force on Oil Imports, "stupid government policies" are' to blame for the current energy crisis. "If oil companies find themselves a few percent low on petroleum supplies, as they did this year, they will naturally supply their own stations before the independents," the NCSU associate professor of economics said in a recent interview. Erickson, whose decade of research on future energy supply . and demand through energy modeling has attracted widespread attention, has been invited to speak at the 1973 World Energy Conference in WesTinghouse 12.5 Cu.

Representatives from 13 foreign nations will hear him discuss "The Estimation of Fossil Fuel Demand." NO BANDWAGON Unwilling to jump on the bandwagon with those accusing oil companies of contriving current energy ills, Erickson is quick to point to four critical policy areas which have led to today's imbalance of energy supply and demand. The four include: the Federal Power Commission's control of the price of natural gas at the wellhead, a reluctance to relax oil import limits soon enough and fast enough, environmental controls, and hucksterism on the part of the Atomic Energy Commission regarding nuclear power. Detailing the policies, . Erickson said, "The low price of natural gas at the wellhead, as regulated by the FPC, has discouraged new gas discoveries.

Cltan, Mp 1. lm-fspT profitable for companies to search for more of the fuel at current prices. Thus, discovery of new supplies has not kept pace with demand." Two alternate policies could alleviate the gas shortage, he noted. "Either all price regulations that are limiting supply could be removed, allowing the price of gas to seek its own level. Or additional regulations on the field market could be imposed, setting priorities on fuel for hospitals, homes and businesses. Since this alternative would not directly encourage private business to seek new gas sources, a government operation, financed with taxes, would be established to do so," the NCSU economist said. Noting that support is strong for both plans, Erickson favors removing regulations, even though the price of natural gas would increase substantially. His reasons are twofold. First, it seems illogical to solve a regulation-created crisis by HERTFORD, N.C. ! SHOP WHERE THE SAVINGS ARE HARD TO CIAT... means of more regulation. Second, individuals are generally better decision makers than government bureaucracies, he said. FREE MARKET "Letting prices rise to eliminate shortages means that individuals will make fuel-use decisions on the basis of costs and needs that particularly affect them," Erickson added. "Reluctance to remove oil import restrictions has not only heightened oil shortages, but has also slowed the construction of oil t-efineries," he said. Refineries are oil specific, or can process only certain types of fuel. "Uncertainty as to where oil will be available has discouraged building expensive refining facilities," he noted. Environmental controls too have taken a higher than nor mal toll on energy supplies. Pollution control devices on cars, for example, have created a higher demand for fossil fuel energy, Erickson pointed out. W nil Westinghouse 17.2 Cu. Ft.
