funding could accomplish
something the critics couldn’t.
But enter Rep. Walter B. Jones
of the First Congressional
District. He has proposed a
method where the federal
government would share the
wealth from offshore oil drilling
with North Carolina and 20 coastal
states. The kitty would be $4 -
million annually. Fifteen of the
counties covered by CAMA are in
Rep. Jones' district.
There is a similar proposal in
the Senate where hearings were
held last week. The proposals
make sense.
CAMA was labeled a “no
development” measure. This has
been proven false. The im
plementation has gained strength
through strong input from local
government. Citizens have
volunteered their time to go with
the 80 per cent federal dollars to
make the program work.
With Rep. Walter B. Jones in
CAMA’s corner, the future is
getting brighter and brighter.

I Vaccinations
1 Are Urged
RALEIGH With most public
and private schools preparing to
open lata* this month, state Health
Director Dr. Ronald H. Levine
urges all parents to make sure,
their children have had the
minimum immunization shots
required by state law. Parents
who have moved to North Carolina
from other states should request
immunization records from their
former physicians or local health
clinic.
North Carolina’s immunization
law, enacted by the 1979 General
Assembly, requires a complete
basic series of shots for all
children attending public and
private schools in kindergarten
through the twelfth grade. These
immunizations include three
combination diphtheria, tetanus,
and pertussis shots; three oral
polio vaccine doses; measles
vaccine on or after the child’s first
birthday; and rubella or German
measles vaccine. The law allows
exemptions only for medical or
religious reasons.
Levine said all of the required
shots may be obtained from
private physicians and local
health departments throughout
the state.
The immunization law requires
students to be vaccinated within
thirty days after the opening of
school. After that deadline,
students who don’t have shots will
be suspended from school until
they present a current record of
immunization.

memories for him. He remem
bered the hard fought contests
that took place when he starred at

Ofte opposing team which he
remembered significantly was the
Ahoskie Cougars. “We really had
some knock - down - drag - out
games,” Hall said.

Gerald Hall
Nash in Rocky Mount last year,
suddenly got a strange feeling that
maybe, he would be coaching
against the school that he played
at for four years, if he was chosen
as Ahoskie’s new coach.
Sure enough, Hall, a former AIT -
American at East Carolina
University, got his wish as he was
named Head Junior Varsity
Football and Basketball coach at
Ahoskie High School.
“It’s a little strange but I’m
beginning to feel pretty com
fortable here,” said Hall, as he
prepared his team for a tentative
season opener on September 9 in
Tarboro.
The coaching staff, led by Head
Varsity Coach Daryl Allen, has
had their eyes on Hall for a long
time.
“I’ve known Gerald since he
played in Edenton,” Allen said.
I’ve also watched him for three
years at ECU.”
Hall will also have coaching
duties on the Varsity team.
“I have turned the secondary
backfield over to Gerald’s hands.
When he explains something to the
players they realize that he knows
what he is talking about and they
offer him a great deal of respect.”
Director of Athletics, Richard
Murray, who also is an assistant
coach believes the school couldn’t
have made a better choice.
He asserts, “Gerald is an ex
cellent coach. He communicates
well with the young players and I
believe he’ll do a great job for us.”
Ahoskie, which plays in the 3-A
district conference, will open play
August. 27 against Northeastern
High School and Hall will have a
chance to view his players
response to the Eagles’ attack.
Probably a date lingering in the
back of Hall’s mind is October 14,
when his J.V. squad host the Aces.
Hall will look across the field and
see a few familiar faces, most
being the same coaches for whom
he played.
“I’m not too worried about
where we start at, it’s more im
portant how we progress and how
we end the season,” said Hall, who
inherits a team which did not win a
game last season.
“We have a long way to go, gut
the winning will come eventually.
This is a young team and first we
want to make sure these gusy can
hit, block and tackle. I feel that by
the fifth or sixth game the team
should be where we want them to
be as far as fundamentals and
He forced a momentary
chuckle, but then seemed to go into
deep thought.

Mark your calender. The Oc
tober 14 meeting will be the sixth
contest for the Cougars, and they

Town Seeking Federal Community Grant
In a classic case of the demand
far outstripping the supply, North
Carolina cities and counties have
applied for over $155 - million in
federal community development
block grant funds while only $46 •
million is available for the 1982 - 83
fiscal year.
Among the 257 local govern
ments applying for the Small
Cities Community Development
Block Grant program funds is the
Town of Edenton where $627,000 is
sought for community
revitalization.
Joseph W. Grimsley, secretary
of the State Department of
Natural Resources and Com
munity Development, ad
ministrator of the block grant
program, said that the large
number of applications for the
federal funds points out the “great
needs our municipalities and
counties have to make im
provements in their com
munities.”
“Despite the fact that we have
the largest state small cities
program in the nation, the amount
of available funds will not come
close to meeting the needs iden
tified by the local governments,"
Grimsley added. Grimsley said
his department will now begin the
process of reviewing the ap
plications based on established
criteria to determine which
projects will be funded, and at
what level.

LAB TO RE—OPEN The N.C. Department of Agriculture
will again operate an aflatoxin testing lab at Leary Brothers

Graham Authorizes Re-Opening
Os Local Aflatoxin Lab
t .aN-C-v"- XbmmKsioner of
Aferfctflture James A. Graham
responded to area concerns and
authorized re - establishment of a
laboratory for aflatoxin testing for
corn in Edenton.
Commissioner Graham an
nounced his decision last week in a
letter to C.A. Phillips, chairman,
Chowan County commissioners.
Phillips had contacted the com
missioner, expressing the concern
of area folk.
The lab, at Leary Brothers
Storage on Virginia Road, was not
scheduled to operate this year.
However, at the commissioner’s
applications which includes
consideration of the percentage of
benefits to low and moderate -
income people, the severity and
proposed treatment of identified
community needs, the project’s
financial design and the utilization
of other public and private funds
for project activities,” the
secretary noted. The block grant
program was designed in
cooperation with local govern
ment leaders and was approved by
the North Carolina General
Assembly in June.
Changes in federal legislation
enacted by the 1981 Congress gave
North Carolina the option of
assuming administration of the
program from the Department of
Housing and Urban Development.
All local governments, with the
exception of the state’s 15 largest
cities, were eligible to apply for a
maxium of $750,000 in the four
program categories of community
revitalization, economic
development, development
planning and urgent needs.
The development planning
category is a new concept and
Grimsley sees it as an innovation
which will especially benefit small
communities with no previous
experience in applying for federal
funds.
“Small towns with high needs
and limited previous exposure to
the community development
program may request up to $20,000
to secure the assistance they need
in order to develop viable corn
Some of the commodity
associations in the state such as

Bob Teague of ttif'flqpd and Drug
Protection Division are making
arrangements to open it again.
“We plan to have the lab ready
to open by August 5 and will give
you a more definite operating
schedule at that time,” Com
missioner Graham wrote Phillips.
Phillips said he appreciates the
positive response Commissioner
Graham gave to his request. “The
lab is important and will be
convenient,” he said. “I hope area
farmers will take advantage of the
availability of the facility in order
that sufficient use of the lab
guarantee continued operation.”
munity development plans and
project applications,” he stated.
Grimsley also said that unique
development planning proposals,
such as local energy production
programs, are eligible for funding.
Interest in the community
development block grant program
has increased significantly this
year due to reductions in other
federal funding programs.
“Substantial reductions in the
amount of money available from
the Economic Development Ad
ministration, Farmers Home
Administration, the Appalachian
Regional Commission and other
federal agencies have meant that
many traditional sources of
funds are gone,” Grimsley noted.
The federal government last
year received 167 applications for
about SIOO million, in comparison
with the 257 applications for over
$155 • million for this fiscal year.
Grant awards will be announced
by Gov. Jim Hunt in October.
