Directly related to the amount of time volunteers spend in extension activities is the quality of the pro fessional staff. North Carolina has a highly respected Lay Leadership System in extension because North Carolina has a highly competent professional staff. We’re glad to be the token Tar Heel associated with them. Bad Leadership Loretta M. Martin, president of the N.C. Association of Educators, had a “lapse in judgement” in Washington, D. C., last week which has rendered her services useless. She should follow her public apology with her resignation. The Associated Press reported that the NCAE president was among some 200 state and national leaders in a two-day conference Thursday of the National Education Association. The group was discussing the NEA’s $1.3-million in political contributions and the lob bying tasks ahead in Congress and statehouses. Good reports were being given, but the one from North Carolina took the cake. The president said 93 per cent of candidates backed by NCAE won, including Rep. Ike An drews of the Fourth Congressional District, who pleaded guilty to druken driving, and related charges immediately prior to the electftm. Here’s how the Associated Press reported the events: “The odds were really stacked against us because Jesse Helms is from my state,” she said, and R^ublSSl^mdidatesMnchKfing- Andrews’ opponent, William Cobey, Jr. “Our teachers said, ‘You know, I guess, Jesse Helms’ clone named Cobey is going to be a Jesse Helms clone ior the rest of the year, and Ike’s wly going to be a drunk part of the time, so we got to help this man,”’ she said to loud laughter. End of AP quote. The attention the report was get ting was too much, it seems. If the “clone-drunk” bit was not bad enough, she had to make her story even better. Back to AP: “And help we did. He didn’t have much of a campaign. We became that man’s campaign. We wrote his speeches. He deilivered them at the wrong places, but we wrote his speeches. We produced his fliers. We shook all the hands. We did the phone banks. We did the whole, thing,” she said. End of AP quote again. Os course, what it all amounts to was an example of bad leadership with a back home “clone-drunk” story which had the big lie attach ed to it. Either one would have been bad enough alone, considering the position of the speaker. To show further evidence of her lack of leadership ability, the NCAE president said she didn’t know the meeting was being covered by the press. Who’s she kidding? Here are 200 of the top leaders (?) of the nation’s biggest union gathered in Washington, D.C., talking politics and the press is not expected to be around. Hogwash! The N.C. Association of Educators is a powerful lobby. The fact that 93 per cent of the Can dida testhe group supported won s Pea9ft this point. This cannot be expected to continue, however, with a president who can explain away a bad joke and a lie by saying she had a “lapse in judgement.” State employees, including teachers, need the best leadership po* expecially in these times of lOK budgets, depressed economy, etc. Bad leadership like tba’ displayed last Thursday by Loretta M. Martin is a luxury the teachers don’t need, let alone can’t ...... 1 . AWARD WINNERS—One of the highlights of the annual Farm-City Week banquet in Chowan County is presentation of special awards.

Edgar Bunch and his write upon their arrival home from a gospel singing in Williamston, N.C. found that their front door was dif ficult to open. It seemed as if something was holding the door shut from the inside. When they finally got into the house, they found that the safe had been pulled from the closet where it was stored and its top had been hacked open.

Cox, mayor of the Town of Hertford, has been elected president of the Highway 17 Transportation Association In North Carolina. Mayor Cox succeeds William H. (Bill) Page of Washington, who has served as president of the past three years, of the organization that has been working to get Highway 17 four laned through North Carolina. Cox who has served on the association’s Executive Committee since the start, moved up from the vice presidency of the organization. Elected to replace him as vice president was Dick Paul, president and general manager of Television rived at the scene shortly there after. After checking the scene of the crime, Sheriff Toppin called SBI agent, Walt' House and the SBl’s Mobil Crime Lab. Agent House arrived at the Bunch’s home around 1 A.M. and assisted the Sheriff’s Department in preserving the scene until the Mobil Crime Lab could arrive later that morning. The investigation of the crime is far from complete but as of the pre sent time the following appears to be an accurate senhrio of the events of the night: At some time between 4:40 P.M. and 12:20 A.M. two or three people entered the Bunch’s home through the front door after Jimmying the lock. They proceeded to block the escape of light through the window bv use of a bedspread. The intruders than pulled the safe out and began to hack at it with an axe or a hatchet. After breaking through the walls of the safe they may have taken some old mooey that was stared therein. The in truders then left through the back door leaving it unlocked. The Sheriff’s Department does not at present have any suspects. Anyone with any information can- station WITN in Washington. W. Bruce Teachey, Mayor of Jacksonville, was re-elected secretary and treasurer of the organization. In addition to the presidency, Cox was also elected chairman of the association’s board of directors and will serve as chairman of the Ex ecutive Committee. W. P. Jones of Edenton was re-elected vice chair man of the board of directors. The retiring president said the highlight of his tenure as bead of the organization was the revelation, two months ago, that a study show ed Highway 17 needed four laning along its entire route through North Carolina. The association took a large delegation to Raleigh two years ago to ask Gov. Jim Hunt to call for the study which he did. It was carried out by Kimley-Horn Associates, . - 1 * * GfieCfcTyCer aaaaA downtown^/*dmton ■ IJ 1A m 32-PIECE If 1 |! TOWLE fi I j i jj STERLING > 1 * 8 i 8 FLATWARE Ajt Jt ! SETSON SCQ&r SALE!
