Outer Banks Notes Wal, we look our family down to the Outer Banks Beach Club last Saturday afternoon for a week of (to iatlwsun.lt turned out to be a lotef the Public Parade mixed in the M hours we were able to spend in the State of Dare. On the second trip to the grocery stare alter 4 PJfwe shopped at Nogi Bend Super Market, owned and operated by Howard and Artie inf our visit we learned that Rev. Cliff Shoaf had spent enough time at ML Olivet United Methodist Church over in Manteo to spearhead a highly successful building program. The Shoals maintain a hideaway near Johnston’s Bridge on South Granville Street We told him a year ago when he was assigned to Manteo. so dose to Edenton, that n»wMn was giving him a real test So. Sunday morning we decided to (hive over to Manteo to see if the good minister was on die job. He was. and apparently is doing a marvelous job since toe Building Fund budget has been exceeded by more than 10 per cent in less toon 45 days. Among other Edentonians in the congregation was Jackie Parker, the musically talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Parker of Morgan Part. Jackie is heading up toe youth ministry at the popular Circus Tent this summer, which is opened at • P.M. Tuesday. Emphasis was placed on graduates of the 1903 class at Manteo High School. Special recognition was given to Anne Sawyer, valedictorian, who has been awarded a four-year scholar ship to Harvard University. She was baptised by Mr. Shoaf while be was a minister at Edenton United Methodist Church and the Ray mond Sawyers resided on Mexico Road. "Character Is Its Own Reward" was the subject of toe sermon, and Mr. Shoaf did his usual fine job of putting everything into proper perspective. The bulletin listed the nursery vohmteers as Becky and Charles Evans. The genial First House District representative is embroil ed in a Currituck County measure and we are sure he did not find the nursery as much of a change of pace as he needed for the weekend. It was a quick 24-bours for us on the Outer Banks. But we returned to the Public Parade late Sunday just what we needed. Get This! United Financial Incentives of North Wales, Pa., will buy those grocery receipts you’ve been throwing away all your life along the Public Parade. LIFT'S new program, started last October, buys grocery register tapes from people in all 50 states and U-S- territories and in Canada. Information extracted from the tapes is sold under contract to marketing research companies who use it to better target their advertising. More than 14,000 peo ple have signed up with UFI so far. Tapes are brought 1 per cent of their face value, minus money paid for alcoholic beverages, tobacco and sales tax, mid discounted back to the next lower multiple of 2S. For example if you spend $129.88 on groceries this week you can sell your register tape to UFI for $1.25. The maximum value of tapes that UFI will accept from one person in a year is SB,BBO, foe payment of S6O. If yen think the scheme is nutty, got this.

The secretary later noted that when the 29 facilities now being planned are completed the value will exceed $64-milKon and provide more than 500 new jobs. "That's the equivalent of a huge new industry •and its an investment that's going to provide quality retirement op tions for older North Carolinians across our state,” he noted. "In our society today there is a tremendous demand for ap propriate care for older Americans,” he continued. "For some senior citizens, that means carefol attention and quality health care in a nursing home or a hospital. For others it means a rest home, providing help with things like medicine, hygiene, and other personal care. And for some, ap propriate care simply means an op portunity to live in a smaller more manageable home with easy access to companionship and suitable recreation. "Here at this Senior Village pro ject you are taking toe innovative step of combining apartments for the elderly with a quality rest home facility. You are providing these op tions at a reasonable price without hugh down payments or entry fees. "The facility you are building will allow its residents to move from private apartment life to rest home care without being uprooted and taken away from familiar en vironments and friends. These are important considerations for most older North Carolinians.” In opening his remarks. Sec. Fairdoth quoted firom the concept document of the developers which states: “...as proposed (the facilities) represent more than brick and mortar: it basically represents a philosophy. If the pro spective owners or investors are on iy uncrcsiQu ill cue ooaom lint? sow? ly then they should invest their monies elsewhere.” He said this type philosophy impressed him and maintained would insure the suc cess of the master plan. The complex will consist of a 69-bed rest home and 34 townhouse apartments for the elderly.

"If you owned the house, you pay for it at one time,” he con tinued. “Our fading is that it to cheeper to pay for it once and get it over with titan to continue to pay for it over and over through higher rates,” he concluded. What Mr. Shaw was referring to were several unexpected problems that occurred to the ownership of the plants that gave the Town only . 2.7 per cnet savings instead of the 15.19 per cent should conditions have been ideal. Mayor Harrell complained at buying into CPAL’s problems and asked if the Town saved 15.19 per cent last year. Mr. Shaw answered, “no”. Mayor Handl asked if the Town would save 15.7 per cent this year. Mr. Shaw answered, “no”. Under present conditions the Town may only save 4.5 per cent Mayor Harrell continued by stressing that the Power Agency did not come to Edenton when he asked Mr. Sahw to at a regional meeting in Hertford. Mr. Shaw responded to this by stating that in the letter sent to the town setting (to the Hertford meeting, the Power Agency requested that should a ci ty desire a separate meeting with the Power Agency. The Town of Edenton did not request such a meeting in response to the letter and by the time Mayor Harrell ask ed at the Hertford meeting, there ttamwlman Hampton asked if the Ti«n«rauld have a ratq in crease in October as the Power Agency had once planned. The answer was that there would be no increase until January. The discussion with the Power Agency concluded by Mayor Har rell’s request for a motion and unanimous vote for him to write the letter to the Governor requesting a review of the Town of Edenton’s contract with the Power Agency, and to request the renewal of the Governor’s investigation into Vep co and CPAL. The motion was made and MWinHurf Oniirilman ItolhwHl TW quested that The Town of Edenton look at the problem on a local level because taking it to the state level could have long reaching effect. Mayor Harrell then stated that no letter would be sent until the wor ding of the letter was agreed upon by the foil Council. The Council voted five to one in favor of sending the letter.
