M. : for the drive to the Raleigh Meeting. They get home something like 9 P. M. that night. They get paid mileage for the drive and meals, but in essence, that is a 17 hour day they donate free.

Thmuoh C.hrictmnc Os the 23 member Task Force and Advisory Group, six are private citizens representing agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. The rest are government or university employees. They get paid to attend meetings. The Sierra Club is also represented by one mem ber. The concept of the Task Force Wwadmirable technical ana government advisors forking with people out’* there on the bottom line making a living from the resources. Altman said the gover nor’s charge to the Task Force pretty well explains why he chose to join. The charge was something like this, according to Altman: “The Task Force will try to find ways that will enable us to continue to enjoy the benefits of our natural resources, and at the same time insure survival of those vital resources in ample supply for gnerations of the future.” I hope the citizens will give their needed con tributions. Their special input is so many times lacking. They have no easy task. Many times citizens begin something like this full of the spirit. But they had not been in contact much with those that attend meetings as a living, away of life. “Readers Digest” could without trouble condense any two hour bureaucratic meeting down to 15 minutes of productive stuff. So much is said not to solve anything, but to exercise ego and say something, even if it does not contribute to the meeting. Smooth talkers with big words many times intimidate those who do not talk for a iving. If not in timidate them they bore them mentally right out of the room. Consequently, the spirit is hard to keep. Those of use who do not volunteer to be on a committee, but are not happy with the results, might take a minute to offer THE CHOWAN HERALD encouragement to those brave citizens who do. Something needs to be done to insure “grass root truths” enter as much as possible into to final words of wisdom form the plethora of committees and task forces that begin usually as good intentions but usually end up with tunnel vision or a shotgun blast to wide to accomplish anything. Dell and Frann would frown at the last sentence, and rightly so. What I want to say is, let the man on the street, or in the woods, or on the farm, or on the water, have his say and give it; weight. Somehow provide an atmosphere for them to last out these sessions and have their mark on the final report. I hope the two fishermen can hold on. We need them there. Emphasis Placed On Resources The 23 citizens who serve on the N. C. Board of Natural Resources and Community Development have learned that natural resources are going to get a lot of emphasis in North Carolina for the next three years. Meeting in Raleigh board members heard Sec. Joseph W. Grimsley announce that three themes will guide the natural resources staff of the department: Outdoors North Carolina, Productive Resources and Water. Programs to promote community development through the advancement of North Carolina’s towns and individuals were explained. The work focuses on growth centers development and economic opportunity ef forts. Sec. Grimsley said the goal of the department is to carefully manage the natural resources and apply them in harmony with the department’s community development programs to benefit the people of the '"State. He said the natural resource themes are to serve as banners to stimulate discussion of the important issues related to natural resource use and management. “Outdoors North Carolina 1982” will be a year-long celebration of the scenic and recreational benefits of the state with a special ex position and conference to be held in Raleigh during the spring and other events across the state throughout the year. The theme reflects the need for all citizens to be good stewards of our natural resources so that future generations will be able to enjoy them also. The Prodcutive Resources theme points out how much economic benefit the state gains from its wealth of timber, minerals, soil, clean air, wildlife, and fish. These resources will last in definitely if we continue to manage them wisely. The third theme, water, highlights the central role of clean and abundant water for public health, en vironmental quality and economic growth. Solving water supply and water pollution problems will require planning and cooperation by government, industry and citizens, Grimsley observed. In the coming year North Carolinians will consider a statewide referendum on a S3OO-million Clean Water Bond issue. During the 1970 s two previous issues of clean water bonds were approved by the state’s voters to build water supply and wastewater treatment facilities. These facilities enable communities to grow and to keep the streams and rivers of the state clean. In a unanimous vote members of the board resolved to sup port the clean water bond issue. State dean water bonds are used to match local and federal funds. Members of the N. C. Board of Natural Resources and Community Develop ment are appointed by the governor to serve as policy advisors to the secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development.
