HHflicj m 1 tklvt TREES SUFFER CHAINSAW MASSACRE Deputy Sheriff Melviq Evans of the Chowan County Sheriff’s Dept, investigated an incident Feb. 8 that proved that there are still some twisted minds around. Charlie Williams of Norfolk, Va. owns three lots in Arrowhead Beach, including the old Holley’s Wharf section. He called the Sheriff’s Dept, to report that someone had cut into several trees on his property just enough to kill them. Upon investigation, Deputy Evans found that two dogwoods, 55 pines, four oaks and two gums, all on the river side, had been cut into from three to four inches, using a chainsaw, just enough to kill the trees. The value of the damage, which occurred in the last 30 days, is estimated at several thousand dollars. There is a SSOO reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible. If anyone has information on the person responsible for this crime, please contact the Chowan Co. Sheriff’s Department.

Walker School,” stated Mrs. Hazel Elliott, director. “Plans are to serve the Food Stamp Households first and, if the supply lasts, other eligible households will then be served.” ’ A letter is being mailed to each Food Stamp household advising them of the hours, days and directions to the place of distribution. We anticipate receiving 3480 pounds of cheese to be distributed in five pound blocks. Gov. Jim Hunt and the State Department of Human Resources are anxious for this surplus food to be made available to eligible low income households, par ticularly families who have been adversely affected by recent reductions in social welfare programs.
