Continued From Page 1 and to have a man of Rep. Jones’ caliber, with his ear constantly on the alert to the needs of all Americans, is of great value to his district. Also, his longevity makes him the third ranking member in the 11-man Tar Heel delegation. Rep. James T. Broyhill of Lenoir, a Republican, and Rep. L. H. Fountain, a Tarboro Democrat, out rank Rep. Jones. The “mighty first” has a mighty leader in Walter Jones. Long may he live! Going Into 'B2 With a new year underway, it’s time to look ahead. From our vantage point, the outlook for the Public Parade and Tar Heelia is better than for the nation as a whole. However, a few miscues here and there can turn things around. One area of added focus is in health care. Edenton is on the threshold of blossoming into a regional center for health care. Three projects are well along in development and all of them could become reality before 1982 draws to a close. We are speaking of expansion at Chowan Hospital and Elder Lodg e and development of a Senior Village on West Hicks Street, near the hospital. The hospital has necessary state approval for a 10-bed expansion as well as new ancillary space. The 64-bed expansion at Elder Lodge and Retirement Concepts, Inc., development of a 60-bed rest home and 34 townhouse apartments for the elderly will make the hospital plan more viable. In addition to providing much needed services, the nursing home expansion and Senior Village project will broaden the Town of Edenton and Chowan County tax base by nearly $2-million. These projects alone will provide ap proximately 100 new jobs. At a time when citizens are demanding more special services while routine budget items are in the vice of inflation, broader tax base and new jobs producing in creased payrolls are more im portant than ever. To accomplish these things may require some trade offs. Good judgment, not emotion, must rule. The Public Parade has a cushion against wholesale joblessness and the pains of inflation. It is diversification. And with the new health care facilities completed, this area will be the envy of those of greater size. When one looks at things from the national scene, we are much better off. For example, the U.S., unable to balance its budget, is burdened with an enormous national debt. This is not the case in North Carolina and its counties and municipalities. The debt is low and by law the budgets are balanced. In another area both our natural climate and our business climate are good. New industry and new people are moving in. This is the diversification of which we cited earlier. The state and local scene will be affected by actions at the national level. But in those areas in which we can call our own shots, 1982 looks like a good year for those who meander along the Public Parade, Northeastern North Carolina and throughout Tar Heelia.
