Thursday, November 25,1982 Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: Just a short note to express our good fortune in meeting you two weeks ago Tuesdsay. We certainly profited from your summary of events in Edenton since ‘45. We did find the old house that we lived in on Eden Street and took several photos of it. It sure changed into an attractive lit tle home compared with die old photo we have of it in 1945. The short time we spent in Edenton involved a visit to the old cemetery and church on Broad Street; some time on the waterfront at the “Barker” museum; lunch at the Boswell restaurant and just plain cruising around' reading historical marker signs and looking at residences. My wife (Caroline) just could not get herself oriented with the courthouse area. The missing monument and the two side streets made it much less ex pansive than she remembered it in ‘45. She and (Laurie) 2 years old at the time, spent some time there playing. Couldn’t wait to get back here and tell a few people about the transformation that occurred in Edenton since ‘45 (for the better). Urban renewal in this area has been catastrophic. My message has been: go to Edenton and see how it should be done. We really didn’t know what to ex pect when we started out from Greenville but it was a delight. Our only regret is running short of time and not visiting Mrs. Willaford (spelling is probably wrong). We had pro mised our daughter Nancy to return to Greenville by 6 P.M. She had to resume teaching the next day and had a few things to do. We never thanked the Willafords pro perly for being such gracious hosts to the wife’s folks when they came to Edenton to transport my daughter and wife back to Wisconsin. My destination was Williamsburg and eventual discharge from service. In closing I would like to repeat my gratitude for your appearance at the door that Tuesday noon and giving us SOUTHEASTERN PROFESSIONAL COATINGS, INC.

T"'- : •• • /• \ l \ — jPeoples Bank And Trust Reports ROCKY MOUNT-At a special meeting held November 17, the shareholders of Peoples Bank and Trust Company approved the formation of a one bank holding company named Peoples Bancorp (N.C.), Inc. Under the approved plan of reorganization, Peoples Bank and Trust Company will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Peoples Bankcorp (N.C.) Incorporated. “There are two primary reasons for reorganizing the Bank into a holding com pany,” commented William H. Stanley, chairman and chief executive officer. “A bank holding company may engage in non-banking business activities that are closely related to banking, and thus affords the bank greater flexibility in satisfy ing the changing needs of customers.” Green Hill Art Gallery Presents "Winter Show” Green Hill Art Gallery’s third annual “Winter Show” will open on Sunday, December 5 with more than 500 works of art by 90 North Carolina artists and crafts people. Art works for the in vitaional exhibition will in clude paintings, drawings, small sculpture, prints, glass, ceramics, jewelry, photography, weavings, woodworking and mixed media. All works will be for sale and prices will start at SIO.OO, affording the Holiday Shopper an opportunity to purchase high-quality works of art by many of North Carolina’s finest artists and craftspeo ple. Artists in this year’s “Winter Show” include: Bryant Holsenbeck (Carr boro)-basketry; Kathleen Gibbs (Charlotte)-ceramics; Hiroshi Sueyoshi (Wilm ington)-ceramics; Gilbert Johnson (Burnsville)-glass; Edward Reep (Greenville)- painting; Sam Pratt media.

(Durham)-woodworking; Barbara Grenell (Burns ville)-tapestry; and Mac- Donald Bane (Winston- Salem)-painting. A reception for the artists and the public will be held on Sunday, December 5, from 3 - 5 P.M.

The Problems Caused By Drunk Drivers CHARLOTTE—SeveraI hundred civic leaders par ticipated in 10 regional con ferences on the problem of drinking drivers. Participants in most conferences critized court treatment of alcohol related traffic offenses. The N.C. Insurance News Service (N.C.1.N.5.) spon sored the meetings held simultaneously in 10 cities November 6. A member erf the Governor’s Task Force on Drunken Drivers spoke at each of the meetings. Other speakers included mayors, law enforcement people, members of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), and other groups. Henry C. Allen, Jr., presi dent of Integon Corportation’s property and casualty in surance companies, is chair man of the N.C.I.N.S. Anti- DUI campaign. Thomas S. Carpenter, general manager of the AEtna Life & Casualty commercial division, is presi dent of N.C.1.N.5., an infor mation service of 41 in surance companies operating in North Carolina. In the discussion sessions, participants made sugges tions for increasing the legal age for drinking, requirement of manadatory uniform sentencing of convicted of fenders, elimination of plea bargaining and many other actions. Task Force members responded to questions about which items are being recom mended to the governor and which have been considered and not included in the recommendation. At some of the meetings participants stressed that more emphasis is needed on public awareness and preven tion because the percentage of apprehension is small. The total number of arrests is large more than 96,000 in North Carolina in 1981. At several meetings it was sug gested that the Federal Com munications Commission (FCC) be urged to ban beer and wine advertising from be ing shown on television. In THa*uuh4 # 7W*4, Myrtle M.
