Page 6-B jS P°* n * view Editor 1 ! note: Nixon, an Eden ton native, if vice-president of Parker Brothers Newspapers of Ahoskie. His column appears weekly in a number of that .group's publications. Before this week ends, we will be entering a new year. All that was 1982 will be left behind, with only memories to remind us of what was. Like all years before, there are lessons to be learned from the experiences of the past year. To dwell on the suc cesses or defeats of ‘B2 is meaningless. It’s time to set our sights on the year ahead. Most people have their own hopes and dreams for the coming months. My personal hopes are no different. There is much I hope to achieve and there is much I hope will be achieved. I’m looking to 1983 as a year of turn-about for our nation. I”m looking for unemploy ment to drop, but not because of ‘make-work’ programs that only burden the economy fur ther. I’m hoping to see an im provement in the productivi ty of those persons elected to serve the people, but not because of revelations such as Watergate. I’m looking for values to improve in our chur ches, our schools, our homes, not because of rule or govern ment regulation, but because that’s the way it should be.

True peace is all people of all nations living in freedom, liv ing their lives without fear. I’m hoping for a peace brought about by the belief that war will destroy civiliza tion as we know it, not a peace that exists only because one nation may be stronger than another. I will accept peace borne of strength if that is the only way we can have it. I’m looking for an ‘B3 that will cause us to be kind to our fellow men and for all men to show concern for this earth we live on. Nothing is forever, including this earth we share with all creatures. While I will be thinking about the year ahead, I’ll also remember the years past. I am especially concerned about the furture of our political leadership. Have you ever thought about the ill fate of our political leaders over the past two decades? The charismatic young President, John Kennedy, was felled by an assassin’s bullet in the prime of his life. The true details of what real ly happened that November day are still clouded, and the wounds inflicted on our na tion then have still not healed. Lyndon Johnson, one of the most indomitable per sonalities ever to become President, was driven out of the White House, a beaten, whipped man, whose life was to last only a few short months after leaving office. The Nixon years, which I so well remember, produced un precedented triumph, only to be followed by tragedy. The very future of our nation’s political stability was at stake. Gerald Ford, so well respected as a member of Congress was defeated in his first try for election on his own. Then came a straight man from Plains, Georgia, full of fresh hope and promise. He too, left office, rejected after a single term, his record and personality discredited. And now, Ronald Reagan, after serving only half a term, seems to be on a course not unlike his predecessors. Can we really wonder what happened to all the great men? It is almost as if we elect men so we can enjoy watching them fall. *** * * If you think there are no heros left in America, you’re' wrong. Central Park was dark, and Linda Down’s hands were sore when she came wheezing across the finish line, 11 hours, 54 seconds after she began the New York City Marathon. She had spent nearly a half day running and logged the slowest time in any New York marathon, finishing last in a field of 13,528. When officials were alerted that Down was still running after all other entrants had finished, they stayed in Cen tral Park to hold the ribbon at the finish line. She was later invited to the White House where she was congratulated by President Reagan. What was so great about this feat? Linda Down, a 25 year old resident of New York, has cerebral palsy and ran the 26 mile, 385 yard race on crutches. Linda has the type of courage we all need in 1983. THE CHOWAN HERALD Conference On Communication Skills Set RALEIGH—A conference on improving communication skills among students in kindergarten through 12 will be held Thursday and Friday, Feb. 10-11, in Raleigh at the Howard Johnson’s at Crab tree Valley. The two-day conference for school teachers and ad- Pasquotank Arts Council Planning Variety Show Plans are underway for a variety show sponsored by the Pasquotank Arts Council. The show will feature area dancers, singers, actors, and a blue grass group. Soloists who will appear in the program include Ma jalene Thomas, Nancy Fere bee, Frances Gaither, Bill Thorn, Roy Askew, Holly Wright, Clif Harris, Judy Venters, Alice Sue Rosseau, Donna Seymour, and Terry The Weyerhaeuser Highlights Medical Records Update The Plymouth fiber group is in the process of updating health and medical records for its more than 1900 hourly and salaried employees, ac cording to safety director M.M. (Mac) Holliday, who is coordinating the project. The end result of the survey presently underway will be a complete health and medical profile on each worker; allergies to medicines and other substances, past illness and injuries, and medicines which the employees are re quired to take or might have taken in the past by prescription. ‘ ‘Participation in this whole thing is voluntary”, Holliday said, adding,” and we’ve talked to very few people who didn’t jump at the chance to get involved. We all under stand that the information will be important both on the job and off if medical attention—including emergency situations—is ever required.” In the first phase, company nurse Pat Brabble, RN, and safety secretary Louise Spiewak, are gathering all the data in interviews with the employees. This work is scheduled for completion at the end of March 1983. The data will then be compiled and filed and a card with all the pertinent medical data given to the employee. “The information on that card and in our file could be a lifesaver,” Holliday said. In case of an accident here or away from work, the amount and dependability of health information available can make a difference. That’s particularly true if the per son’s inconscious.” According to Holliday, the health information to be made available to employees and the company health and safe tv group is the same kind of data used on Medic-Alert bracelets. •••• Eleven true veterans of the pulp and paper game gathered with current employees at Plymouth on December 20 to share a good meal and stories of the old and the new. The eleven former managers have a total of 415 years service to Weyerhaeuser among them, according to Bill Redd, paper board production manager, who acted as host. The paperboard group holds an annual Christmas get-together and each year in vites retired salaried folks to join them. This year’s guests included one 46-year veteran, three with 44-years, one with 43-years, one with 42-years, one with 41-years and one each at 35-years, 29-years, 27 and 20-years. The Magnificent Eleven and the jobs they held at Weyerhaeuser are: Russell Owens, mill manager; Dennis Modlin, tech department; Stewart Saunders, NC-2 superintendent; Jennings O’Dell, stock prep foreman; Charlie Windom, machine room foreman; Howard Daniel, technical director and production manager; Gene Basnight, stock prep foreman; Roy Ragland, finishing and sales service; Roscoe Frymier, shipping ministrators is sponsored by Western Carolina Universi ty’s Reading Crater and divi sion of continuing education. Entitled “Listening, Writing and Reading: Com munication in Action,” thef conference will cover such topics as communication through spelling and writing, Owens. Among the drama groups will be Northeastern High School Drama Gub, Cur rituck High School Drama Club, and the Albemarle Players. The instrumental part of the performance will feature Blackwell Memorial Baptist Handbell Choir and Jay Har ris’ Blue Grass Band. Gene Bittle will lead the dancers of the show with the superintendent; Charlie Painter, NC-1 superinten dent; and Arden Holbrook, area master mechanic. “If you couldn’t run a pulp and paper operation with these guys, then you just couldn’t run a pulp and paper operation”, Redd said. Gets Trauma Unit Designation WINSTON-SALEM-North Carolina Baptist Hospital has been designated a level one trauma center by the North Carolina Department of Human Resources. The designation recognizes that the hospital meets the level one requirements established by the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Frederick W. Glass, director of the hospital’s emergency department, said that trauma centers offer all of the major services needed in the treatment of patients with severe injuries 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

In order to receive the level one designation, Baptist Hospital was surveyed by a team which looked at all aspects of the trauma team as well as the physical facilities.
