Surely the balloon could not have gone up? No, it had not, but the summer pollen count had. Quite simply, the Pre.sident was escaping from the pollen hanging heavy over Camp David." It wasn’t long ago folk were com plaining, “We’ll have no summer," and the temperatures were unseasonably cold. There’s been no cause for com plaint of hot weather fans in recent clays. The complaint Tuesday was—“W'e were needing rain. Now we need some sunshine.” Notable Quotes l ife seems to be divided into two periods: In the first we indulge, in the second we preach. — Will Durant. Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing—Albert Ein stein. The man who has never made a mistake will never make anything else. —George Bernard Shaw.

Indeed, we wonder at the effort to cover up the President’s allergy. “Time Magazine”, in its June 26th story, entitled, “Hanky Panky”, related —“When the President of the U. S. makes a sudden, unexplained move dur ing what is supposed to be a weekend of rest, it sends a ripple of consternation acro.ss the land. That is what happened when President Nixon, relaxing at his Camp David, Md. retreat, snatched up his briefcase, dashed to his helicopter and zipped badk to the White House. Left behind were reporters, staff aides, his wife and a house guest. Keeping Informed It has been said that a good report er, particularly on politically controver sial matters, knows the answers to the questions before he directs them to the (luestioned.

Congratulations to American Le gion Post 155 Auxiliary which copped three awards for membership and .serv ice at the state convention of the Auxil iary during the weekend. Since the drug market peddles its goods primarily to the 16-20 age group, he said he is concerned that drugs might make their marketing place in the schools. , He said that young folk should be kept informed of the dangers of using drugs and that these programs should be given in the schools and parents, too, should be invited. “The best way to curb the problem is to keep the young people informed”, he declared. He touched briefly on drug abuse during a banquet address, devoting most of his remarks to law enforcement. We would agree with Mr. Dunn that literature and an organized drug abuse program for children in grades 7-12 and for older citizens, too is a a good idea. Interesting Statistics Food prices dropped last month but substantial increases for clothing and transportation contributed to the larg est rise in overall living costs in three months. In Cleveland County, the average family income was !^8,036, compared with .$7,774 for the state. Per capita in come for the county amounted to $2,380. The 1970 census counted 72,556 residents in the county; 0.2 percent were foreign born and 0.4 percent native born with one or both parents of foreign births. Among the county’s 66.062 inhabi tants age five and over in 1970, .3,904 were living in a different county within the state in 1965, and 2,846 in a differ ent state. In the population age 16 and over, 80 percent of the men and 51 percent of the women were in the labor force. A- mong the employed, 30 percent were holding white collar jo])s, and nine per cent were government workers. About 55 percent of the married women with husbands present were in the labor force, and 50 percent of these wives had children untler six. There were 18,642 persons three to 34 years old and enroilled in school. In the 25-year-older population, 33 percent of the men and 35 percent of the women were high school graduates. Some other interesting facts glean ed from the Consumer Price \ndex of the Bureau of Labor Statistics: — family spending rose three tenths of one percent in May to 124.7. — average wages of some 50 mil lion rank and file workers rose two cents per hour and 74 cents per week to $133.21 and continued to outpace infla tion. — average wage was up $7.72 or 6.2 percent per week over the past year and after deduction for the 3.2 per cent rise in living costs, purchasing pow'er was up $3.35 or 2.8 percent per week.
