rrz Continued From Page 1 Parade cast ballots in the Now&ber 2 election. Considering thejjbsence of contests for local offices, the percentage is not too badjt Across the nation, though, voters turned out in record numbers in the “off year” elec tion. What happened is pretty much like most everything else, it depends on who you are talking to. The Republicans lost heavily in the U.S. House of Representatives. The party of President Reagan maintained the same majority in the U.S. Senate. Democrats took more governorships. Those who are already breathing heavy about the prospects of a U.S Senate race in 1984 between Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr., and incumbent GOPer JesSe Helms had reason to quicken the pace. Gov. Hunt campaigned extremely heavy for Democrats and two first term Republicans in the Congress were apparently defeated. Sen. Helms’ National Congressional Club probably campaigned equally as heavily, and with considerable more money, for those who lost. Does this mean the popular governor is ready to beat the darling of con servativism in this century? It’s too long between the 1982 “off year” election and the 1984 balloting to be picking the win ners. £ If ad election between Gov. Hunt and Sen. Helms was held between now Snd Christmas, then Gov. Hunt, based on what voters ap parently said November 2, probably would come out on top. The major party nominees for the presidency and the state of the economy at the actural time of the election tends to soften the emotional aspect. Predicting election outcomes is not yet an absolute science. While Gov. Hunt was making hay in Tar his in neigh borings Virginia^was getting laid back. Gov. Chuck Robb cam paigned hard for Lt. Dick Davis who lost to the GOP congressman who had made about as many campaign mistakes as Rep. Ike Andrews, who also won. A grMt deal is being made about the New Right, Reaganomics, etc. We thihk much more needs to be made about old fashioned Americanism. Maybe between the elections immediately past and those two years from now there will bq sufficient time for us to reflect on real things, not just labels.

I really wanted to win that trip to Hawaii,” White said. “I was surprised - shocked is a better word, I guess - when my name was announced,” he added. White competed against three top quality NCOs - SSgt. Isaac West Jr., SSgt. Kevin Rice and Sgt. Allan Mackey. The com petition was tough and required a certain amount of mental preparedness.

They met with other members of the Commission at the Edenton Municipal Building where they made the opening remarks to the people present. The main topic of discussion at this meeting was the Chowan River and Albemarle Sound Basin restoration project. A project to understand and take action on the causes of the algal blooms and water quality in both the Sound and Chowan River. The Commission was shown various causes and these causes were assessed and potential solutions were discussed. Par ticular attention was paid to agricultural sources and what practices could best be put to use on the farm to decrease the nutrients that enter the Chowan River and Albemarle Sound Basins. The Chowan - Albemarle Legislative Study Commission had a working lunch at Hayes Farm. They toured Hayes after lunch was over to observe the “Best Management Practices” for agriculture at work. The Com mission ended their meeting with a tour of Strawberry Hill Farm and Willis Bass’ Hog Operation in Bertie County to observe the practices needed to reduce the amount of agricultural nutrients entering the Chowan River and the Albemarle Sound Basins.
