Name’s The Same
Somehow last week in a hurry to leave the office to catch a
plane for Washington, D.C., this reporter goofed on one of the
names in the feature story about Grace Carpenter Wolfe’s
retirement from City Hall, where she has served as Assistant
City Clerk for many years. Included in the names of the office
employees at City Hall was the name of Dora Ann Kircus.
I was surprised too. Dora Ann Bowen is the ‘‘Dora Ann” who

“We know that middle-
aged and older workers bring
both ability and experience
into the labor force and this
contribute to increased pro-
ductivity for our state and na-
tion,”” says Randy Allen,
manager of the Shelby office
of the North Carolina
Employment Security Com-
mission. Mr. Allen added,
“Unfortunately age
stereotypes exist and it often
"requires a special effort such
as Employ the Older Worker
Week to focus public atten-
. tion on the real contributions
that can be made by older
workers.” :
This year the Employment
Security Commission and the
Department of Human
‘Resources, Division of Aging,
are joining forces to promote
employment for older
workers.
Governor James G. Mar-
tin, proclaimed the obser-
- vance, March 10-16, as an an-
nual means of encouraging
employers to add invaluable
experience and know-how to
their work forces through the
employment of older
workers.
According to Vicki Banks,
‘local office older worker
specialist, more than 2
million North Carolinians are
aged 45 and older. As people
live longer, the career-
minded, job conscious,
mature worker is no longer
atypical.” Among the many
positive attributes of older
workers are high perfor-
mance ratings, positive work
attitude, job stability, and
low absenteeism. Employers
can turn these attributes into
dollar-savings by hiring the
older worker.”
Mr. Allen concluded,
‘Utilizing older worker’s
skills, skills that only ex-
perience brings, makes a lot
of sense. As the fastest grow-
ing segment of our popula-
tion, older adults will be
needed - to supplement the
work force of the future. We
urge employers to consider
older workers when they are
hiring.”

Snow of the Southern Arts
Society, who is sponsoring
her appearance in Kings
Mountain. Mrs. Snow said
that one of the highlights of
Mary’s career was when two
ladies from the Dixon Com-
munity came in and did their
first artwork in one of her
local classes.

soring the program on Satur-
day and Sunday which is par-
tially funded by Grass Roots
Grants of North Carolina.
Jim Corlett, poet and
writer, said of Mrs. Goslen,
“if mountains spoke, or if
trees could sing, just the
works evoke a picture. So it is
that Mary Goslen’s images
fulfill the symbolists dreams
of pictures and colors that
seem symphonic. For in her
art, the viewers find
cascades of music, heard on-
ly by inner ears, and felt only
by an inner self. Mary Goslen
hales from the Appalachia
where folk speak plain; Her
innte inner birth is clear as
well-sound and light madd
made manifest and serene.”
_ Mrs. Goslen has displayed
in a number of juried shows,
traveling exhibitions, public
corporate and private collec-
tions all over the Eastern
Seaboard. She has won
numerous awards for pain-
tings and gap graphics in-
cluding first place in the 11th
semi-annual Watercolor
Society of North Carolina
competition.
