Dr. Sale noted that numerous Gaston College students who have obtained A.A degrees are Interested In continuing their education and Kings Mountain would be more accessible to them because many at the students work during the day and want to continue their education during evenings.

Larry Allen, principal of Central School, asked If the program would exclude the high school graduate. Dr. Sale commented that younger students require counseling and the on-campus services tiiat the older citizen does not require. "The evening course for the adult requires a great amount of Initiative on the part of the student,” said Dr. Sale In a classroom where the average age at the student Is 84. Supt. William F. Davis, who presided, said he Is very en thusiastic about the possibility of a field-based program for Kings Mountsdn and offered the school fkcUltles for the classrooms. Dr. Knotts noted that Gardner Webb Is In the process of making changes In Its overall philosophy and has a close relationship with com munity colleges and enjoys a close relationship with area com munities. The program here would en compass Greater Kings Mountain, bringing In students from Shelby, Gastonia, Cherryvllle, Llncolnton, Blacksburg and other areas. He ssdd that the college age population of 18-34 la shrinking and that college officials anticipate a levellng-off of college-age population at Gardner Webb. He said that applications for the Fall enrollment are "up.” but If the enrollment tops 1600 that more facilities would have to be built. "We see a trend In older students returning to college,” he said, and we have the resources for continuing education classes and want to use them In this area If you need us.” ‘ ‘Our concern Is not just for degree students,” said Mr. Davis.

The board heard a report that the Commission has been offered a $9,000 planning grant to develop an Aging Plan and Is currently seeking ap plicants for an Aging Planner. Baby-proofing the home to prevent unnecessary acci dents is a parent’s job. According to agricultural extension specialists at A & T State University, far too many children die from acci dents which could have been avoided if simple precautions had been taken. Because most accidents happen before a child reaches a^ 2, the parent must an ticipate hazards and eliminate them. The only proper storage for all medicines and household cleaning supplies is under lock and key. The old out-of sight, out-of-reach methods aren’t sufficient. GLADYS GIBB The board also approved operation of the Youth Work Experience Out of School pro*cr;ts by the Employment Security Cbmmttkk» in Cleveland, McDowell, Polk and Rutherford Counties.

The national beef supply situation looks like better times are ahead for producers, who have suffered through a lengthy period of depressed prices. On the other side of the coin, consumers may see the lower supply translated into higher costs at the super market. In both cases, changes are expected to come graidually and may not he in strong evidence until after 1978. North Carolina State Uni versity agricultural extension specialists, interpreting the most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture animal inven tory figures, suggest that there will be a modest decline in beef production the remainder of the year. The anticipated decline is in the 2 to 4 per cent range. The supply of feeder cattle—young animals still several months away from slaughter size—has declined sharply from a year ago. Feeder calves are North Carolina's No. 1 beef product. The inventory of all cattle and calves on farms in the U.S. at the beginning of the year was down 5 per cent from a year earlier. This was the third consecutive year in which the inventory declined. It represents a drop of almost 16 million head since the peak in 1975. This is the sharpest rate of decline in history. Contributing to the decline were a smaller calf crop in 1977, a commercial cattle slaughter of 41.8 million head and a 5.5-million head com mercial calf slaughter. The likely trend over the next two or three years is a gradual buildup of cow herds, reduced numbers of animals going to market and improv ing prices for the cattleman.
