The centers serve as in formation centers for the public, as ; classrooms by the sea for students at all levels, and as laboratories for scientists. It will be worth your while to visit the center on Roanoke Island sometime Sunday afternoon.

Tomorrow (Friday) they will play Washington in an away game. The game with Roanoke remained scoreless until, with 19 seconds remaining in the third quarter, Bill Whichard of Edenton scored from seven yards out. The extra point by Thomas White was good and Edenton led 7-0 to start the final quarter. Unable the move the ball, Roanoke punted, giving Edenton possession on their 47-yard-line. Senior quarterback Eddie Morris kept the ball on an option play and sprinted down the left sideline for 52 yards, finally being knocked out of bounds at the one. Morris, never Plaque Suggested Continued from page 1 plaques are needed to “properly identify the facility for visitors and potential users.” The panel went so far as to recommend that identification be “Chowan County Detention Facility” on the west side and “Office of the Sheriff” on the Court Street side. However, the recommendation is flexible in that “other ap propriate wording designated by proper authorities” would be acceptable. Judge Allsbrook accepted the report from Jimmie M. Hare, foreman and ordered that copies be sent to Chowan County com missioners and Sheriff Troy Toppin. The grand jury, consisting of 18 members, toured the detention facility and found conditions “very satisfactory”. Seven bills of indictment were presented by Asst. Dist. Atty. Frank R. Parrish and true bills were found in each case. Nine new members began 12 months of service. They include: Martha Hathaway, David Lee Copeland, Evelyn M. Harmon, Celia D. Spivey, James Wilson Criddle, Alma Kay Ward, Mattie Forehand Halsey, Donald Bonner and Clara S. Newby. Contest Winners,,. .

As oik referee said after the game, “You won’t see a better football game than this one all year.” Senior Bill Whichard led Edenton’s ground attack with 131 yards in 20 carries and one TD. Head Coach Jimmy Addison said of Whichard, “He is persistent, had good balance, and doesn’t know when to quit.” The Edenton defense had a tremendous game, holding Roanoke to 85 yards rushing and 46 yards passing, and only seven first downs. “I have to praise our guys, they were disciplined,” said Addison, “they couldn’t let up and stayed in there the whole way.” Peanut Bill Is Passed The U. S. Senate on September 16, passed a peanut bill for the years 1962-85 after amending the proposal passed on April 30 by the Senate Agricultural Committee. Adoption of the measure followed one and one-half days of debate on the Senate floor and lengthy deliberation and negotiations between growers and Senate farm leaders, according to Norfleet Sugg, executive secretary, N. C. Peanut Growers Association. Senate action on the bill is only the first step. Con sideration by the House of Representatives will be the next phase in the legislative process. A Senate vote occurring early on September 16 on whether to table an amendment offered by Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana that would have abolished acreage allotments and poundage quotas in 1982 served as an early warning of further difficulty. Sugg said: “The Senate voted by a majority of 56 to 43 not to table Sen. Lugar’s amendment. That vote provided a strong implication that the Senate would note for Sen. Lugar’s proposal to fompjetely ..dismantle the peanut program iia 'CgiOuajj opporiueitftUa do However, prior to the vote on tabling the Lugar amendment, Georgia Republican Sen. Matt Mattingly had offered a substitute to the Lugar amendment that growers considered much superior to the Lugar bill but which was inadequate as written, Sugg said. Although the Mattingly bill calls for abolishment of acreage allotments, it would maintain poundage quotas at a minimum national level of 1.24- milljon tons. Following negotiations between growers and Sen. Mattingly, a number of changes were made in the Mattingly bill to insure that production of additional peanuts in excess of the farm-based production is from non-quota farms and does not enter the domestic edible market until the supply of peanuts from quota farms within the Farm-based production is exhausted. Another change in the Mattingly bill secured by growers is to call for a minimum support rate of $596 per ton on quota peanuts to be adjusted annually based on in creased production costs. Growers were unable to block a provision offered by Mattingly to transfer poundage quotas across county lines within a state. The Mattingly, bill, as modified, was passed by the Senate by a vote of 51 for and 47 against. Sugg said the basic difference in the Lugar and Mattingly proposals is that Lugar would have abolished both allotmrets and quotas, while the Mattingly bill abolishes allotments but retains quotas in place for the next four years. He said a prolonged effort by growers over tbe past sixteen months had emphasized the retention of both allotments and quotas and that the same objective will be vigorously pursued in the House of Representatives where farm bill debate is expected to begin within a few days. It is still possible, be said, to put the present program back together in a Senate-House Con ference Committee provided acreage allotment survivee the House debate. -H*.-'*y ■Kggf.p.: , 1 y y 1 If 1 1 ?v ”, W f£m B fir - ‘WF~ ht- f. ■ Wt- -f:, ~ , jf Jr -MV; ' f | J ■ i , ..

Department of Natural Resources & Community Development has announced $336,760 in coastal energy impact grants, including $150,094 for peat related projects. “These grants will help local and state leaders examine and meet the challenges of coastal energy development,” Sec.

In other matters, Dr. Dunn reported the employment of four new people, including Mary Lawrence as speech therapist. The administration was unable to fill this state-federal funded position last year. The system also has 41 para professionals with all but three working full-time. The board agreed to employ a consultant to develop a Loss Control-Risk Management Program of Insurance. The action follows a similar study by Chowan County Board of Commissioners and the same Greenville con sultant will he paid SBSO to establish the program in the schools.

The< Crops Showing Improvement North Carolina’s soybean snd peanut crops improved during August as a result of generous rainfall, according to the N. C. Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. Today’s forecast based on crop conditions around September 1, indicated more com, soybeans, peanuts, cotton, sweet potatoes, pecans and hurley tobacco, but less flue-curred tobacco than a year earlier.

Acreage for harvest is 4 per cent less than last year but the average yield per acre is forecast at 24 bushels or 5.5 bushels more than in 1980. Peanut production is forecast at 442-million pounds, up 52 per emit from last year’s poor crop.
