score in providing patient services
The National Health Council, in
new data compiled from its mem
bers' audited financial reports, re
cently announced that the National
Easter Seal Society led the list for
percentage of program dollars spent
for patient services.
During the fiscal year 1965, Easter
Seals allotted for program dollars
spent for patient services.
During the fiscal year 1985, Easter
Seals allotted $138,738,000?93 per
cent of the total allocated for pro
gram expenses? for patient services.
That is approximately 50 percent of
the amount spent nationwide for pa
tient services. Other organizations
that allocated significant amounts
for patient services were: the Na
tional Hemophilia Foundation with 75
percent. Muscular Dystrophy Asso
ciation at 55 percent, and the Epi
lepsy Foundation of America at 53
percent.
Individuals of all ages and having
disabilities resulting from any cause
receive assistance through Easter
Seal programs The kinds of services
offered vary greatly to meet the
needs of more than a million people
served by Easter Seals every year.
They include: physical, occupatio
nal, and speech-language thereapies,

camping and recreation, and psycho
logical counseling. Prevention of,

bling conditions are also encouraged
and sponsored by Easter Seals.
Adele Foschia, Executive Director
of the Easter Seal Society of North

lenges we face every day continue to
multiply, we are pleased that we are
still able to concentrate our efforts
toward providing the services that
people need right now. It has always
been our goal to help every person
with a disability obtain the resources
to reach his or her fullest potential."
The world's oldest and largest vol
untary agency, Easter Seals' net
work includes approximately 200
state and local societies operating
more than 400 program service sites
in all fifty states.
Compiled financial records of all 22
voluntary health agencies who are

lion was allocated for patient serv
ices. Overall, 82 percent of member
agencies' total expenses, which in

Ice cream proclaimed by Martin
RALEIGH? Declaring that ice
cream compliments the state's repu
tation as the "goodliest land, " Gov.
James G. Martin has proclaimed
July 12-18 as Ice Cream Week in
North Carolina.
"We're glad to get this recogni
tion," said Ladley Burn, president of
the North Carolina Dairy Products
Association (NCDPA). "It's sum
j mertime. This is good ice cream-eat
ing weather."
Burn, president of Carolina Dairy
Inc. in Shelby, estimated that be
tween a fourth and a third of the
state's dairy products industry is de
voted to ice cream production.
July 12-18 is also National Ice
Cream Week, with July 15 designated
as National Ice Cream Day. Hugh
,, Bowman, who chairs publicity for the
NCDPA, said this is the first year
North Carolina has proclaimed the
special observance. Bowman,
Greensboro-based regional sales
manager for Fla-O-Rich, said that, to
his knowledge, this is the first such
state observance in the country.
The proclamation signed by Gov.
Martin pointed out that ice cream
season "is at the peak of its year
round cycle of popularity, offering
delightful respite fromthe heat
denched landscape."
Ice cream, the document contin
ued, "compliments North Carolina's
reputation as the 'goodlist land' by
incorporating its strawberries, rasp
berries, blueberries, peaches,
apples, watermelons, grapes, pea
nuts, pecans, walnuts and other gifts
of nature."

ice cream processors. Nine produce
ice cream only and the other seven
are included in the state's 16 fluid
plants. In addition to the fluid and ice
cram plants, he said. North Carolina
also has four locations processing
such by-products as cheese, con
densed and powdered milk, and but
ter.
Cooper said the dairy products in
dustry ranks fifth in the the state's
agricultural income? after poultry,
tobacco, hogs and corn. He said the
processing plant employment totals
3,100, but that does not count sales
and executive personnel. Nor does it
include farm employment, sub-dis
tributors, or workers in grocery
stores and the growing number of ice
cream specialty shops.

The Articles of Confederation -do
people consider them a failure?
Under the Articles of the Confeder
ation, the Second Continental Con
gress resembled our modern day
United Nations. The Congress was
composed essentially of sovereign
nations which could neither impose
obligations directly on the states nor
punish those which violated its laws.
In retrospect, it is easy to see the
specific shortfalls of the Articles of
Confederation. There was only a sin
gle-chamber congress, no executive
branch, no federal judiciary, no
power to tax, no power to regulate
commerce, and no power to prohibit
states from coining money. Congress
could dicide how much money was
needed and what each state should
pay in taxes. It was up to the individ
ual states, however, to collect the
taxes and to voluntarily pay the
amount requested. If a state refused,
there was little congress could do to
force them to comply. In addition to
these domestic problems, significant
conflicts with other countries faced
our new nation. For example, the En
glish refused to withdraw their
troops from the western lands until
the states lived up to their treaty obli
gations to indemnify British subjects
for property lost in the Revolution.
Congress was powerless to make ei
ther the states or the British comply.
The Spanish, too, were treatening to
close the mouth of the Mississippi
River to all travel and commerce.
Other nations refused to enter into
treaties with our new country be
cause the federal government has no
method of enforcing the treaties' ob
ligations. Since each state was a sep
arate nation, treaties were made on a
piecemeal basis.
On the home front, some slates
printed worthless paper money,
while others failed to contribute their
share of money to the central govern
ment. Many states established trade
barriers to give their own merchants
special privileges.

Articles of Confederation to correct
these problems. These efforts proved
futile because a single state could
veto the offending amendment The
many problems facing the new na- *
tion along with inability to the Conti ? W
nental Congress to correct them set
the stage for the constitutional con
vention in 1787.
At first, it appeats that the drafters
of the Articles of Confederation
lacked vision when they failed to cre
ate a strong central government
It is important to remember, how
ever, that the states fought the War J
of Independence against centralized
authority, and the accomplishments
of the government under the Articles
should not be overlooked It brought
the war to a conclusion, established a
system for the development of west
ern lands, and, significantly, gave
Americans further practical experi
ence in handing national problems
