Committee of Albemarle Regional
Planning and Development
Commission for the selection of
Raleigh Carver as chairman. The
nominee is chairman of county
commissioners in Isle of
Pasquotank.
Also, the committee was wise in
completing the slate with Mayor
Bill Cox of Hertford as vice
chairman, and C. M. Stokes of
Washington County as secretary.
Macon Johnson of Camden
County attempted at last week’s
meeting to get the new officers
voted on immediately. Mayor Don
Bryan of Nags Head, current
chairman, said ARPDC bylaws
prohibited such action.
Mayor Bryan has served a
stormy tenure as chairman of the
10-county commission. Like
anyone who does anything, Mayor
Bryan has made mistakes.
However, they were mere fault in
judgments; his motives being
above reproach.
ARPDC is an animal which is
practically impossible to get a
handle on. The commission’s
mandates have grown faster than
talent on the staff could grasp. The
governing board itself numbers
more than 50 which is a nightmare
in itself.
The commission’s chairmanship
is a thankless assignment; the
responsibilities awesome; the
rewards practically negative. In
Sir Raleigh Carver of the Isle of
Pasquotank the commission will
have a master of organization who
not only has the time to devote to
r ~ the position, but the practical
knowledge and political wisdom to
get the job done.
Regionalism is the vehicle which
can best obtain the good life for
those who meander along the
Public Parade and throughout
Northeastern North Carolina. Sir
Raleigh has been exposed to this
as president of the Albemarle
Area Development Association.
By putting together AADA
volunteers, ARPDC board
members and staff the limits of
accomplishments can be many. If
anyone can do it, Sir Raleigh can.
Why Not Edenton?
Asheboro, the Randolph County
seat, displays an unusual visual
for people passing the comer of a
busy downtown street. A giant
wall mural depicts a typical street
scene of a bygone era.
Why not Edenton?
The Carpet & Appliance Plaza
building at the intersection of
South Broad and East King
streets, or the Montgomery-Ward
site across the way, are ideally
located for a touch of nostalgia.
Hie Asheboro story is told in the
September issue of Carolina
Country, the official publication of
the N.C. Association of Electric
Cooperatives, Inc. Owen Bishop’s
story describes how the wall
mural was painted by three
female artists in 1976-77 as part of
the country’s bicentennial
celebration.
A second such project is found in
Salisbury.
Why not Edenton?

Edenton Defeats
Bertie Falcons
A hard fought battle of defenses
marked last Friday nights grid
contest in which the Edenton Aces
snagged their first victory of the
season against the 4-A Bertie
Falcons, 13-8. The Aces are now 1-
2 going into their first conference
game against Plymouth at Hicks
Field tomorrow night at 8 P.M.
Quarterback Steve Holley
plunged two yards to score mid
way through the first quarter and
Marvin Morring converted to give
the Aces an early 7-0 lead. (
Neither team scored again until
late in the fourth frame when
Falcon quarterback Jeff Cherry
went in from the three yard line. A
two point conversion- gave the
Falcons an 8-7 lead.
Senior defensive man Cedric
Harrell took the following
kickoff back to the Bertie 38 set
ting up a three [day scoring drive.
Holley connected with receiver
Thomas White on a fourth and
eight from the 36, but the point
after was blocked.
Bertie fumbled on the kickoff,
giving up possession on their own
37. The Aces marched down to the
10 before fumbling the ball away
themselves.
Another fumble by the Aces had
set up Bertie’s only touchdown.
Edenton had taken over on their 35
and were attempting to march off
the remaining five minutes of the
contest when a Bertie linebacker
grabbed up a loose ball, returning
it to the Edenton 20. Several plays
later Cherry went over the score
and the two point kick was good.
Unable to sustain another
scoring drive, the Aces relied on a
sticky defensive squad to keep the
Falcons from hitting paydirt
again.
Biased Investigation Is Charged
Citizens in Tyrrell and
Washington counties continue to
push for an “unbiased” in
vestigation of Jimmy Spencer.
Mrs. Betsy Davenport, head of the
group, has announced that a

P.M. Monday at Mack’s Ser

“Again, it has been proved that
you can’t believe what Vepco tells
you, and the tempers are flaring
over electric rates in Northeastern
North Carolina,” Little said today.
“Consumers can’t believe the bills
they’re receiving this month and
they’re threatening revolt,” he
said.
Little, again called on Vepco to
“sell out and leave so we can get
some better rates.”

Aflatoxin Safe Feeding Levels Being Reevaluated
RALEIGH Widespread
confusion in the grain marketing
system 'of North Carolina has
prompted Agriculture Coim
missioner Jim Graham and Dr.
J.E. Legates, dean of the School of
Agriculture and Life Sciences at
N.C. State University, to
reevaluate safe feeding levels for
com containing aflatoxin.
In a joint statement Friday,
Graham and Legates announced
that there are safe uses for the
com containing up to 200 parts per
billion (ppb) aflatoxin.
The uses up to 200 ppb include
open heifers of six months of age,

Mrs. Davenport said the group,
through Attorney Lewis Evans of

the case were interviewed.
Those who desire additional
information should call Mrs.
Davenport at 796-0211. If direc

“In keeping with these revised
feeding recommendations from
NCSU, we have adjusted our
regulatory program to permit the
sale of corn up to 200 ppb aflatoxin
if it is to be used specifically to
feed the approved animals,”
Graham said. “Com for human
consumption will continue to be
limited to 20 ppb and corn for all
other uses will be permitted up to
100 ppb aflatoxin.”
In addition to the feeding of com
with these levels of aflatoxin,
scientific studies indicate the com
can be treated with ammonia to
reduce or eliminate the aflatoxin
and render it acceptable for use as

Commissioner Graham also
announced that the ammoniation
was approved by the regulatory
program of the department and
the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice is moving immediately to set
up demonstrations and in
structions in the procedure.
Since the first aflatoxin problem
in 1977, many grain buying
stations have installed the “mini
column” method for determining
aflatoxin levels in com and have
had their operators trained by the A
Food and Drug Protection ;.
Division of the N.C. Department of
Agriculture. ,
Graham urged users of this
method to follow closely the
procedures recommended by the
NCDA. “It is serious business to
test a customers corn and to turn it *
down,” he warned. “The results
must be right. Any buyer or seller
with questions about the test
procedure should contact our
office for further assistance. We -
are pleased to provide this ser
vice,” Graham concluded.
Historic Sites
Awarded Grants
Sara W. Hodgkins, secretary of : ’
the N.C. Department of Cultural
Resources, has announced the •
award of six grants to aid plan
ning and interpretive development
of the state’s Northeastern historic
attractions. The grants to be
administered through the Nor
theastern Historic Places Office
(NEHPO), established early last
year in Edenton, were made'A
possible through legislation
sponsored by Rep. Vernon James
and Sen. Melvin Daniels, and ,-;
passed by the 1977 General
Assembly.
Hie Historic Albemarle Tour,;
Inc., an association of 11 historic
attractions in the Northeastern
Region, was awarded a grant of
$1,400 to enhance promotional
programs for bringing visitors to
the sites. The NEHPO funds will ;
be used to complete the con- •
structron of- three tourist in- ]
formation displays, to be located •
in the Museum of the Albemarle, •
Elizabeth City; the Historic .
Halifax Visitor Center; and the ,
Washington Chamber of Com- ;
merce.
Both Historic Edenton and the
City of Washington will produce
color brochures with grants from
NEHPO this year. The Edenton
Historical Commission received
$1,500 (to be matched by local
funds) to reprint their promotional
literature. With a matching grant
of SI,OOO, Washington will develop ;
an interpretive guide to the city’s .
Historic District.
All grant projects are expected \
to be completed by spring, 1981.
