The program will feature a keynote address by U.S. Commerce Secretary Juanita Kreps; policy workshops on such issues as taxes, energy, human resources and tran sportation; an evaluation of the state’s economic situation, including a review of reports from the local and regional level; and a presentation of policy alternatives. Improving the state’s economy is a major goal of the Hunt Administration. “Finding the answers to problems facing this state’s economy is something government can’t do alone,” Gov. Hunt said. “We need the ideas and the minds of the best people we can find to help us, because we all 5 share this problem. 1 “That’s what this con > ference is all about —to share our thoughts and find f out what our businessmen, and our farming leaders and f our local government of '■ ficials think we should do to f make things better for the workers of this state,” he said. i Hunt went on, “At our > local conferences people ■ demonstrated that they i really care about bringing ■ high-paying jobs to this state, and improving the > wage scale. But they also feel we need to continue to ' protect our environment— ’ that there needs to be some i control in how we grow.” i The January conference, he said, would help clarify f the goals for the state’s balanced growth policy.

THE CHOWAN HERALD Carlisle's Cindy Is Undefeated Three Year C*d DOVER, Del.—Carlisle’s Cindy, a three year-old filly owned by Lorimer Midgett and Logan Lane of Elizabeth City, N.C., remained undefeated in her three year-old event at Dover Downs November 12. Going from the fourth post position with Bib Roberts at the reins, Carlisle’s Cindy got up for a half-length victory over Sweet Selection to win in 2:07.3. Paradise Molly finished third. Sired by the famous trotting stallion Carlisle, and out of Essentially by Something Special, Carlisle’s Cindy is the product of well-planned breeding by Midgett and Lane. Midgett, a senior vice president of the Peoples’ Bank in Elizabeth City, and Lane, a retired North Carolina state trooper now an Elizabeth City magistrate, are part owners in all four horses and needless to say, they’re proud of their success with Carlisle’s Cindy. “We’ve watched her closely since the day she was foaled,” commented Lane following the victory at Dover Downs. “I trained her myself right up to the day I turned her over to Bib Roberts at Rosecroft. She’s the perfect horse. She’s well-mannered and you never have to use the whip with her. We’ll give her a rest now and bring her back next summer for the four year-old Delaware Stakes events.” The win for Carlisle’s Cindy brought her season record to 4 wins and 3 seconds in 15 starts this year with just under $19,000 in purses earned. She paid $9.60 for her Dover win.

Lawrence Davis announced his can didacy for the U. S. Senate Tuesday in the Roosevelt Hoom of Raleigh’s Hilton bu. In nis prepared remarks, Lawrence Davis Davis said he is running for the U. S. Senate because, “We have national leaders who are more concerned about pushing special in terests and personal glory than they are concerned about working together towards common goals that benefit the electorate. .There is a startling lack of com mitment to getting the job done and a crippling preoccupation with party politics and personal triumps.” “I know it takes hard work, attention to detail, and singleness of purpose to produce results. We have made some progress here in North Carolina with this formula, and there is no reason why it won’t work in Washington.” Davis has served four terms in the State Legislature. He said he realized that running for the Senate was a risk. “I’m taking a chance. But the founders of this country took a chance too. I believe it’s a chance worth taking, because I know I can give North Carolina a senator who will be responsive, open to talk with and listen to the people, and free from vested interest activity.” He listed the major issues of concern to the nation as the economy, federal spending, unemployment, welfare reform, energy, and integrity. “Deficit spending is the root cause of inflation in this country. We mistakenly place the blame for inflation on one industry or another. The fault lies squarely with a government that refuses to tighten its economic belt. The enormous federal deficit of this nation has eroded the purchasing power of the average American with devastating speed. Someone needs to stand up and tell the people of this country why the economy is in such bad shape. More importantly, someone needs to get in there and do something about wreckless, wasteful spending habits of govern ment.” Davis said there is no one big area of spending that could be eliminated to solve the federal spending problem, but there are The Great I Get Together p— ai— oh new NgM TWO-IN-ONE, HIGH- LiiiLai POTENCY VITAMIN SUPPLEMENT Cl AND EIOOO one of the greatest get-togethers lJ°°“ psules since Adam and Eve KITCHENER’S PHARMACY SOUTH BROAD STREET EDENTON, N. C. many largely unnoticed areas of extravagant spending. “There simply is not one item in the federal budget that is labeled as ‘fat’, that we could cut out and solve the problem. We have got to get into every area and trim the spending to assure the taxpayer that fereral spending is producing the best results possible.” Davis said he does not expect to emerge as an immediate front runner in the race, but does anticipate a steadily growing base of support. “I believe the people of this state are capable of choosing the person who best represents their goals and needs in Washington. They will decide who has the qualities needed to bring our national problems down to what'is best for the individual. They will know which candidate is honest, which one will work the hardest, which can didate will place the needs of the people above party politics, personal gain and vested interest. I am con fident that by next May we will have a sound victory based on the people’s victory Page 5-C and demand for new leadership whose judgment they can tract.” Peoples Bank Dividend Set 24 Cents/Share ROCKY MOUNT - The Board of Directors of Peoples Bank and Trust Company has declared a regular quarterly dividend of 24 cents per share and an extra year-end dividend of 8 cents per share on the bank’s common stock for the fourth quarter.
