Mountain Heritage Day
chairman Dr. Doug Davis.
“But, this is shaping up to be
our best Heritage Day
celebration yet.”
The free, daylong ac
tivities at WCU seek to
preserve and nurture the
traditions and the skills of
the mountain people of WNC
and the region. More than
15,000 persons joined in the
celebration last year.
Activities are geared for
all age groups. There are
some serious competitions
and many that fall into the
“just for fun” category.
One of the more novel
activities this year is an
“Old Truck Show” for
pickups, panels, stakes and
station wagons that are 1967
vintage or older.
“This is strictly for fun,”
says organizer Don Kelley.
“We’ll give ribbons for the
oldest, rustiest, most
most miles and
least miles, and things of
that nature. Dirt, dents and
cobwebs are oday. Mostly,
we’ll just show ’em, talk
about ’em, and lean on
’em.”
Some of the other “for
fun” competitions are a dog
show, a cat show, hog
calling contest and games
for children.
The horseshoe pitching
and tobacco-spitting con
tests, the food fair for
canned and baked goods and
the Smile run tend to attract
a little more serious com
petition.
The Mountain Heritage
Day Chainsaw Cham
pionship definitely will be a
serious competition with
official rules and ex
perienced judges. Classes
will be homeowners, in
termediate, A, B, C and
open. Top prize money will
be $65. There also will be a
crosscut contest.
N.C. Infant
Mortality - High
Neonatal and infant
mortality rates in North
Carolina are the fourth
highest in the United States.
Within the State, they are
highest in the Coastal Plains
Region. The East Carolina
University Neonatal Follow-
Up Program, funding for
which was recently ter
minated, was created by the
Division of Health Services
both to provide early
diagnostic services and as a
longitudinal study of efforts
to improve perinatal care, i
The September 1982 issue
of the North Carolina
Medical Journal features a
report on preliminary
results of the program,
which includes evaluation of
physical health,
neurological - cognitive deve
lop eme nt, family
functioning, and the in
cident® of pretfflfHlifc*

Authors S.C. Eugelke, M.D.,
R.L. Saldavlra, M.D., and
A.E. Kopelman, M.D., of the
Department of Pediatrics at
East Carolina University
School of Medicine describe
the program as one which
emphasizes early iden- J
tification of problems with 1
primary care at the local
level and one which has
successfully facilitated
continuity by close com
munication with referring
physicians and community
agencies. Birth weight
grouping, time period of
care, individual nursery
policies, and [dace of birth
are factors which affect the
interpretation of survival
and outcome data as
measured by validated
assessment testing (e.g., the
Psycosocial Inventory, the
Parmelere Newborn
Neurological Exam, the
Denver Development
Screening Test).
The results show great
improvement in survival for
full term and, more
recently, smaller pre
mature infants. Survival
rates of 50 percent for in
fants less than 1,000 grams
birth weight and 81 percent
for those less than 1,500
grams compare favorably
with other reports. The
authors conclude that,
“Further efforts should be
directed toward supporting
and improving high-risk
social environments...
These preliminary results
justify the continued sup
port and high-risk social
environments. . . These
preliminary results justify
the continued support and
commitment toward im
proving pregnancy out- I
come.”
The North Carolina I
Department of Human I
Resources terminated
funding for the East
Carolina University
Neonatal Follow-Up
Program subsequent to the
submission of tH* report.

Careful Look For Big Yeflbw Buses
Schools have opened and
we again see the big yellow
bus loaded with a most
precious cargo. What is your
reaction? Anger? Im
patience? It’s sad, but for
many of our motorists this is
the reaction. North Carolina
school bus drivers travel
over 550,000 miles and
transport 750,000 students a
day. Let’s look at their
record. In the 80 - 81 school
year there were only 1100
accidents involving school
buses. Sadly, two persons
were killed. However, when
we look at previous years,
this is quite an im
provement. In the 79 - 80
school year 13 were killed,
and in the 78 - 79 school year
11 were killed.
Changes have been made
to improve the safety of this
precious cargo. One change

in the law says, “Proof that
a motor vehicle has passed a
stopped school bus is prima
facia evidence that the
registered owner was the
operator.” This means that
unless the owner can
produce the actual driver,
the owner will be charged
with the violation. y
First S^rgeantß.G. Price,
State Highway Patrol,
Elizabeth City, assures the
public that his Troopers do
follow up reports of
violators of the law
requiring motorists to stop
in these situations. He also
states, “When any motorists
sees a properly painted and
marked school bus, he or
she should consider it a
large caution sign and be
prepared to stop at an in
stant’s notice.”
Parents have an im
