Yes. A court order for the pay ment of alimony may he modified or vacated at any time uisin a showing of changed circumstanc es by either party. _ ;DI!1iDS Homemakers in D u r h a m. Orange iind Person counties re cently liad a chance to feather rome liiiits on how to tone down the money-hungry bell of the grocery store cash register. A mobile exhibit bearing the caption. “Make Shopping a Ball," traveled through the three coun ties in October. Tile nutrition-on-wheols dis play, sponsored by the Family Liv ing Committee of the North Cen tral Area Development Associa tion, challenged homemakers to ee-.o tile tension of food shopping by planning meals in advance to save time, energy and money. According to Mrs. Mary J. Whit more, a.ssistant home economics Extension tigent, Durham County, many young homemakers lack skills in food buying. In many instances, day-by-day and be- twc'on meal shopping results in l.md waste, unnecessary spending and wasted time and energy, she points out. WHAT’S HER NAME? When an Extension home eco nomies agent is being introduced, and the person can’t remember what her last name is — the re sult is this: "Ob, she works for the Extension Service in the County Building where they can itnswer all questions on every- ■ thing from food, poisons, clean- ■ ing, family planning, clothes, management, and what have! you.’’ In this case, "what's her name” was .Mrs. Jane L. Ebert, heme economics Extension agent, Dav idson County. Mrs. Ebert concludes "it’s just as flattering being known for your profession as it is being known by' name."

However, prog-, ross and national needs often helpful. TRIES SOMETHING NEW Mrs. Ada Jenkins, one of four nutrition aides in Columbus Coun ty, found a way to reaeh several persons with the same informa tion. Instead of making five individ ual visits, she deeided to get homemakers in the Evergreen community together and present information on the importance of milk in the diet to several at one time. The aide planned a birthday party for an elderly homemaker with whom she had been working and invited some of the other eommunity members. The homemakers enjoy’ed their group lesson and hope to meet together again for more discus sions, Mrs. Yvonne B, Ray, home exionomlcs Extension agent, notes. create difficult problems ihat Washington is slow to face. Last week, the Hou.se of Repre.senla- tives stiw a good example of such an instance when it considereil and pas-sed the Avialion Facili ties Ex|iansion and Imiirovemeiit hill. For many months, my Commit tee on Interstate and Foreign Com merce has been re-writing the nation’s laws involving aviation fac-ililies and safety. The Ways and Means Committee ha.s been drafting new legislation to pay tor steps that must be taken to meet the crisis in aviation affect ing virtually every American. The bill, as finally written and pass- ed, is, by no means vi.sionary or 'x!ven liberal. It is probably the minimum effort required to catch up and keep pace with tli(' puii- lic’s demand for air jjassenger and freiglit service. I ft " 75 years ago we set out as a totally service-oriented railroad. A^b’re still on that track! .This photograph of a holiday-bedecked Richmond <6 Danville Railroad locomotive was taken in July, 1894, the same month Southern Railway Com-. 'l£any was organized with the R&D us its nucleus,^ It was one way to success in 1894. It s the only way to succeed today. Service — meeting America's needs for better transportation. We keep ahead of such needs by welcoming new ideas. We arc always busy squeezing the waste out of distribu tion. Putting innovations to work to improve what we can do for customers, today and in the future. Our success in our first 75 years proves that our phi losophy of service works. It is one we are eager to apply, if the opportunity de velops, to other forms of transportation. We figure you can’t overdo a good thing. Southern Railway System, Washington. D.C. lOCM AHtAO LOOK SOUTH IN 7S YEARS OF INNOVATING^ SOUTHERN- • Bought the first road-freight diesel loco motive built in this country • Became the first major American rail road tube 100% dicselized • Was the first American railroad to apply the shuttle-train concept to the transpor-, . tation of coal • Was the first railroad in the country to install a wireless centralized traffic con-, trol system • Was the first railroad to build a modern electronic classification yard in the South • Was the first American industry of any type to utilize the first truly effective, large-scale data processing computer • the first railroad in the country to offer customers direct-inquiry access to computerized car-location information 1 -Z3 z jn INNOVATIONS THAT SQUcEZE THE WASTE OUT OF DISTRIBUTION Regardless of economic factor.^, the use of air transportation will almost certainly double and le- dulile during the next decade. Advances in aircraft equipment will continue to be revolutionary. Within a short time, jumbo jets carrying 300 to 800 passengers cheaply will be in service. Super sonic transports are to follow and hypersonic pa.ssenger planes are next in line. Five' years ago, the certified air carrier fleet was I composed of 2,079 iilanes. almost entirely iTur4e-yp-of piston engine- I planes. Today, it indudes 2,381) . aircraft, almost entirely jet-pow- I ered. In terms of seat-miles flown. ' the inerca.se ha.s been from 94,8 ] billion to 210 billion. In eleven years, by 1980, itis estimated that . the domestir’ certified airlines will i enplane 420 million passengers, I three time.s the 1969 figure. Air ' (■ar^^o traffic increa'scs in revenue i tons are similarly dramatic and • are e.siimaled to reaeh five mill- ' ion by 1970, to double by 1975, and to redouble to 22 million by 198;). .\lready, congestion and incon venience are common at airports across the nation. Air cargo can cros.- the Atlantic in six hours, but it may take days to move it out of the U. -S. airport to its destina tion here. However these problems may be, they are scrondary to the is.sue of assuring safety for air- .--rart and air Iravellers. The .safe ty re.'ord has been, on the whole, excellent, but the congestion threatens to pretts our facilities beyond their capacity. Around some of our major airports this is already happening. Our national airways system require.-: tremendously cosily ra- ; clar and electronic gear and skill- 1 e.i specialists to operate it. Oni-e a plane lands, it is within the air- ; port program. .41lhougli there are ■ Federal eontribiition.s to .ai>-''''"-t operation, airports are neither owned or run h.\ the li-deral gov ernment. Neither are Federal funds used to supimrl or build air port terminals which house mon- e\-making eemmereial businoss- w that provide substantial in- : comes for the owners of the air- : ports. j Noverthele.ss, the Federal gov- ' ernmeni has long - standing re sponsibilities and eommitmeiits to the airways and airports sys tem and an effective way to meet those responsibilities is, I believe. (iro\ ided in ilie now legislation. First, a cliobe had to be made a- : limit where the required funds I would Ix' obtained. The money ■ could be authorized from the ! Treasuiy using regular tax reve- ; nues or the Federal government could obligate itself for large and long term debt. Both of these plans were rejected and a fairer method was decided upon, I be- ; lieve. By sjiecial taxes paid by ■ tlio.se using airports and airline . service, the general taxpayer can ' bp relieved of this additional bur den. Tile pre.sent 3’i tax on air line tieki'Is would he increased to S', and a $3 tax on inter national ' flights originating in the United , States would be imiMsed. Related : taxes on aircraft freight, fuel, and I aircraft registration fees would go ; into an Airport and Airway Trust i Fund similar to the existing j Higliway Trust Fund to provide money that air safety and effect ive management of our airwtiys must have. Considering the seriousness of j the prohlet-.n, this- new legislation \ is late in coming. We can hope. I however, that it will not be too j little in meeting the challenge. i SUBSCRIBE TO THE HERALD €►^666 10:30 - 3:31
