NO. I KEEPER OF THE LIGHT President Ronald
Reagan boosted the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse campaign by
saying: “I sincerely respect the efforts of those who,
because of their keen appreciation of its history, continue to
work to preserve Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, the tallest
lighthouse in our country”. Reagan is pictured with a model
of the endangered lighthouse during a ceremony in which
U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms awarded him a Keeper of The Light
certificate in recognition of the President’s interest in the
project. Helms and Gov. James B. Hunt are heading North
Carolina’s drive to raise $1,000,000 to save the historic
structure from erosion.

following statement: “I
Temple Assembly of God,
Columbus, Ga., 1980-81.
Both churches showed
substantial growth during
his ministry.
Mr. Morris is married to

sincerely respect the efforts
of those who, because of
their keen appreciation of
its history, continue to work
to preserve Cape Hatteras
Lighthouse, the tallest
lighthouse in our country.”
In a ceremony in the
President’s office at the
White House Reagan
received a Keeper of the
Light certificate from
Senator Jesse Helms. The
title of Keeper of the Light is
being awarded by Helms
and Hunt to those who give
significant support to the
preservation drive.
Hunt and Helms also
announced that Avery
County has become the first
county in the state to exceed
its county goal in the
statewide drive to raise at
least $1,000,000 to preserve

are based on last year’s
sales tax returns in the
respective counties. Avery
County’s goal is $2,500 and
the local group has already
raised $2,771, with the
assurance of more to follow
from county Lighthouse co
chairmen Charles Von-
Canon and J. Eugene
Penland.
The successful Avery
County Lighthouse team of
Penland and Von Canon
bears at least one similarity
to the statewide co
chairmanship duo of Helms
and Hunt. Gene Penland is a
Newland banker and
prominent Democrat and
Charles Von Canon is the
Republican Mayor of
Banner Elk.
Gov. Hunt and Sen. Helms
said that the selection of
County Lighthouse Chair-
Page 9-B
men in all of the State’s 100
counties should be com
pleted in a matter of days,
and that they are extremely
pleased by the quality of the
leadership making up the
committees. “When you
have good people, and we
certainly do, a good job is
going to be done,” Gov.
Hunt said.
Dr. Ranee Henderson,
who heads N. C. School for
the Deaf in Morganton, has
been highly successful in
involving the schools of
Burke County in the Save
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
Campaign. School support
of the Lighthouse is in the
hands of individual school
systems across the state,
and the State Board of
Education has passed a
resolution in behalf of the
drive.
