"National Employ the Physical -
ay Handicapped Week" past the
half-way point, Mr. Chas. H. War
ren, Director," Division of Voca
tional Rehabilitation, announced
today that 3,783 men and women
with physical limitations are cur
rently being prepared for remun
erative employment by his office.
"On completion of rehabllita
tlon services, employers will find
these men and women to be
steady, dependable, well ? train
ed, productive workers," Warren
said in a statement, adding:
"Some of these disabled per
sons will complete their rehabili
tation this week, sqme pext week
and others may tal^ a year or
longer. Each is aiming as a spe
cific Job objective which will en
able him mob.: effectively to use
his abilities, talents and interests
in employment best suited for
him. I recommend them to em
ployers who wish to hire loyal,
efficient workers.
"In the 1950 fiscal year which
ended on June 30, 2625 handicap
ped residents of North Carolina
were rehabilitated into employ
ment flnd their cases were mark
ed closed when their Job perfor
mance was satisfactory to them
selves and to their employers. It

rehabilitation their yearly rate of
earnings was $510.21, which was
increased "463 percent to $2,871.50

skills and physical condition. Be
fore rehabilitation these people
"were either unable to secure em-'

otherwise unsuitable Jobs."

the search for a more economical
metal with which to construct his

expensive, workable, stable, and
which had exceptional electrical
resistance. He found his answer
In pure nickel, a material that to

Milk Consumption
Is Below Average
1
The average city resident in \
North Carolina consumes only
two-thirds as much fluid milk
products as does the average per
son in the United States, an ag;
ricultural economist for the North
Carolina Experiment Station dis- I
closes in a new bulletin publish
ed this week.
The bulletin, issued as No. 371
and titled "Consumption of Dairy j
Products in Urban North Caroli- 1
na," was prepared by Walter P.
Cotton, associate professor of ag
ricultural economics for the sta
tion. Cotton conducted a detailed
study of milk consumption a-,
mo'rg 1,023 urban families in the
State during August and Septem- ;
ber, 1948.
Cotton found that higher-in
come families (those making
$720 to $1440 per person yearly )(
consume from a third to a half"
more fresh milk than the State!
average. Colored families con- 1
sume iess dairy products than
white families, but this differen-1
ce tends to disappear among the!
higher-income groups.
Consumption of dairy products
runs about a third lower in the
eastern. area than in the rest of j
the State, although evaporated
milk and cheese consumption in!
that area is higher than average.
The Experiment Station econo
mist slso found that only about
the persons over 16 years- of
age' drink milk regularly.
Cotton concludes that whole!
milk consumption in the State |
might be increased 27 percent by >
raising the consumption of fam- 1
ilies with per capita incomes un
der $60 per month to the level of
those having per capita monthly j
incomes of $60 to $89. He also as

THE DENNIS is an economy house that Can
be expanded by finishing the second floui
room into a bedroom. An additional bedroom
can be added to the rear by replacing the
rear window with a door from the bedroom
hall. In either event, the combination kitchen
and dinett? is large enough to accommodate .
the expansion.
Plumbing is simplified by having the
laundry placed under the bathroom and the
kitchen, while the rectangular plan, with its
plain roof lines reduces costs of construction
to the very minimum.

serts that education of adults in
the health value and economy of
greater milk consumption so as to
f?ise the percentage of adults
