Continued from page 1 ■ Coming And Going There is a lot of coining and going along the Public Parade these days. We hope they prove progressive and beneficial for the individuals as well as those with whom they are becoming associated Four changes along the Public Parade in the past few weeks come to mind. Greg Todd resigned as principal at John A. Holmes High School to become superintendent of Bertie County Schools. Along the same line, Dr. James S. Pressley of Edenton-Chowan Schools has accepted the position of superintendent of Woodbridge . School District in Delaware. : > And further, David Henson is ■leaving the director’s post at Chowan Hospital to become assistant administrator of : Charlotte Memorial Hospital. Earlier, W. B. Gardner resigned as town administrator of Edenton after two decades. We want to be among the first to welcome Samuel W. Noble, Jr., of 'Granite Falls, as town ad ministrator. He has exceptionally good credentials for a man 29 years of age. We want to state publicly that we have no ax to grind with Mayor Roy L. Harrell, members of the Town Council or anyone in either municipal or county government. We call it as we see it, in full realization that not everyone will agree any of the time, let alone all of the time. We are not a con testant in anyone’s popularity contest. Therefore, Mr. Noble will find the publisher and others along the Public Parade cooperative. When he is right we will say so; likewise when he is wrong, in our opinion, we will so state it, We have no preconceived notions about Mr. Noble. If he has been told otherwise we would ask him to check with Eddie Dick, Chowan County’s first manager who now resides in New Bern, or 1 Cliff Copeland, the current manager. What we won’t tolerate, Mr. Noble, is an administrator who is : in the position by name only; who turns out to be a first class errand boy for anyone or any group. We also want to welcome Rob Boyce back to the Public Parade after a brief principalship at Woodland Olney School. Rob paid his dues at Chowan High School prior to consolidation, so he comes to his new position with full awareness of what is needed as professionals work together to ’ improve the quality of education along the Public Parade. Dr. Jim Pressley resigned the position of director of instruction in Edenton-Chowan Schools to accept a new challenge. He faced a similar challenge when he moved here several years ago and proved himself to be man enough for the job. Jim Pressley is a workaholic. . He seeks perfection but realizes there are times when you must , settle for less - at least for a brief 4 period of time. He has what it intakes to become not just a good but a superior ;-. l one. ;< Dave Heqson has been almost a miracle worker at Chowan as well as in the com munity. He directed the hospital . through a successful challenge of • ~ '• ' - " r' c 4 The Chowan Herald (USps 106-380) P.O.

Proper peanut harvest requires patience and timing. Chowan County peanut farmers and other interested people are invited to participate in a marketing meeting Monday night at 8 o’clock. Hie meeting will be held in the Edenton-Chowan Rescue Squad Building at Earl Smith’s Store in Rocky Hock. A representative of the N. C. Peanut Coalition will be present to answer questions regarding peanut marketing for the current season. Peanuts should be dug when three-fourths to two-thirds of the pods are brown to black on the inside of the hulls, according to N. C. Agricultural Extension Service harvesting suggestions. To determine when your peanuts have reached this point, -pull up a few plants and all of the pods that have reached or will reach maturity within the next two to three weeks. Hie easiest way to dig the peanuts is with a garden fork that has four or more prongs. Insert it under each plant and gently work the plant loose. After digging, turn the plants' upside down and leave in the garden for several days. The plants may then be stacked on the state’s health plan, to allow the hospital to add 10 beds. This was the first time ever fbr such a maneuver and while there were many helpful hands, Dave was the primary force. Showing his practical side, he was among a couple others in Region “R” to support a 34-bed expansion to Elder Lodge- Edenton on Paradise Road. His vision didn’t stop on Virginia Road and he, as well as his wife Wanda, will be missed. And while we are about it, we will publicly put to rest a rumor which recently began making the rounds along the Public Parade. The Chowan Herald ain’t for sale! New Gl Bill It comes to us as that President Reagan pfans to propose a new G.I. Education Benefit Bill early next year. It had been previously thought that his administration was in opposition to such a bill because of its cost, but now word from the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Lawrence Korb, indicates otherwise. After World War 11, the Korean Conflict and Vietnam, many veterans took advantage of the educational benefits of the G.I. Bill; furthering their education by attending in large numbers, schools, colleges and universities across the country. For the most part they were serious, mature students who presently are the nation’s leaders and responsible citizens. This reward to the 1 veteran for services rendered has been* one from which the entire nation has reaped benefit. The motive behind the new G. I. Bill,, instead of being a reward for services, is to provide an incentive to enlist. Whatever the reason for the bill, if it improves the quantity and-quality of our armed forces And ultimately improves, the calibre of our dtizenry, it becomes not an expense but an investment .-..•and,investment we,should be happy to make. ' By J.D. Lewis small poles outside or brought into a building and hung up to finish curing. Curing should be complete in three tojgbt weeks after (figging. If ’‘squirrels, mice or other animals you will need to take meT nuts inside im mediately after digging. Pull gie pods from the plant when they are completely dry. Place them in mesh bags and hang them from rafters by wire to keep out rodents^ If storage Ib to last into warm weather, it is best to shell the pods. Then put the kernels in plastic bags or containers and [dace them in a freezer. Quality will remain good for up to two years in a freezer.

John Simmons, Jr. The.dean bases his projections on a nine per cent increase in the number <pf applications already processed by his division. “From present indications,” Simmons said, “this fall, we should exceed the previous year’s total of 1,253 curriculum students.” He said there has been a 33 per cent increase in ap plicants for college transfer programs, while those enrolling in technical and vocational curricula have decreased by approximately five and two per cent, respec tively. Simmons is not overly concerned about the minor decreases in the latter programs, however. “There is still a strong demand for our technical curricula, and three new building trades programs, Electrical In- Training Program To Be Taught An Industrial Maintenance program, recently funded by the state Board of Community Colleges as a high-priority skills training curriculum, will be taught at College of The Albemarle when its Fall Quarter begins on September 10. The college is one of eight schools in the state’s 58-institution system which will offer the one year vocational program. Dennis Burgess, COA vocational trades chairman, said the need for such a curriculum has been recognized for several years. “However,” he said, “only recently have we acquired the facilities to support it.” Burgess explained that the program is designed to train building and industrial main tenance personnel for area business. “Persons who enroll will receive basic instruction in air conditioning, refrigeration, carpentry, machine work, electric motors, and motor controls,” he ..said. ’ V & recent surveys have indicated a number of job openings in the area for trained personnel. “Those who enroll will learn the basic prin ciples of maintenance work, he explained. “With some actual job experience, a person can attain journeyman status in the field.” Fall Quarter registration will begin at COA on August 31. Burgess said anyone who desired more details about the new program can contact either him or the admissions office by calling 335-0821.
