Hollowell and J. Edwin Bufflap representing the public; J. W. Davis and Ralph Parrish representing employers, and Henry Rogerson and Gurnie Hobbs, representing em ployers. Four Chowan County boys went to Fort Bragg. The quartet included: John Ralph Brabble, James Thomas Brabble, Thomas Jarvis Parks and Willis K. Copeland. Mrs. C. T. Hollowell was elected president of the Edenton Garden Club. Board members met to discuss the vexing problems of tire rationing. The board for Chowan County was composed of Albert Bynun, chairman, W. W. Byrum and Dr. W. S. Griffin. The problem was what to do when there was only a certain number of tires available in the county and many more requests than tires.

Holmes a check for over SBOO. The Jaycees handle the football concessions each year at the home football games.

Jones, chairman of the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee, recently deplored just announced cuts in Coast Guard operations and has introduced legislation to secure funding to restore the eliminated services. Those operations targeted for cuts include closure or reduction of air stations, multi-mission stations, recruiting stations, marine safety offices, vessel documentation offices, merchant mariner licensing offices, boating safety programs, as well as the decommissioning of several Coast Guard cutters and aircraft. Ultimately these cuts will result in personnel reductions which will spread throughout the Coast Guard. Up to 3,500 uniform ed positions will have to be eliminated. It is expected that these reductions will total approximately $45- million. The Coast Guard was authorized $1.35-billion for fiscal year 1982, already $46-million less than requested. In addition, the Coast Guard must commit SBB -of its budget to cover already approved pay in creases. This money will have to be taken from operations, thus forcing another round of cuts in the near future unless extra funding is appropriated. Stated Jones, “I am amazed that unknown persons within the Ad ministration have forced on the Coast Guard and the Department of Trans portation these ill-advised cuts. These reductions will definitely diminish safety of life and property at sea, and obstruct the enforcement of laws dealing with drug smuggling, illegal im migration, and fishing violations by foreign nations. The Coast Guard’s main missions are oriented towards defense, safety, and law enforcement. You would think that this present Adminstration would be receptive to increased funding, but sadly that appears not to be the case. The bill I have introduced will provide enough money to fund Coast Guard operations at current levels, thereby avoiding these cuts. aFfep • invEcitcpy sate.. !

The merchandiser is designed to inspect, trim and sort every incoming log and send it to its highest tend-use value, whether it be for plywood, lumber or pulp wood chips, based on the quality of the log. The merchandiser primarily provides all raw material for the Plymouth Plant and the Chip-N-Saw mill. Thirty production and maintenance employees, divided into two shifts, broke the all-time records. The merchandiser had the lowest percentage of maintenance downttime on record in 1981, and processed more than 1,045,000 logs averaging 5.77 logs per operating minute, new all-time high per formance records. The crews accomplished the feats safely with no-time loss injuries throughout the entire year...a job well done. Twenty-three employees have achieved one-year certification in basic car cars. NOW!
