Chamber of Comm.
Reports On Drug
Program
No event ever created a
greater audience at the

auditorium than the two-part
drug program- presented by the
school's PTA and the Chamber of
Commerce.
On Feb. 5 Lt. Lewis Hurst of the
Norfolk Narcotics Bureau
presented a film on "Marijuana"
and a display of items used by
addicts.
On Feb. 12 Rev. John Gimenez,
head of PROCLAIM in Norfolk,
visited with two teenagers
f o r m e r drug addicts
Their talks and the question
answer session that followed left
a deep impression on those who
were at the auditorium.
Visitors came from this county
plus Pasquotank, Chowan and
Bertie counties and for this the
Chamber and PTA would like to
thank the Elizabeth City and
Edenton radio stations the Daily
Advance, Perquimans Weekly,
Chowan Herald and Virginia
Pilot.::::".: :;;-',-;:'
For coming out and bringing
young people with them thanks
go to the many, many churches
that were represented and other
organizations that realized the
import of the program.
The absolutely-filled
auditorium heard from Rev.
Gimenez and the two young men
he had with him Bryan French
and George Thompson.
They 'told it like it is' and as
one of them said: "Even if we can
convince one person not to fool
around with marijuana or any
other addictive drug, we'll feel aa
if we've accomplished
something."

Superintendents
Assist In Planning
Education Budget
Ideas on priorities in public
education in North Carolina, end
suggestions for budgeting toward
these priorities in Raleigh last
week at a "Budget Planning
Conference" were considered in
depth involving local school
superintendents and key staff
members of the State Depart
ment of Public Instruction.
C. C. Walters, Supt. of
Perquimans County Schools was
among the 145 superintendents
taking part in the planning
sessions.
"The State Board of Education
is beginning the preparation of a
budget to be presented to the
citizens of the State through the
1971 General Assembly. We ask
the administrators of the local
school systems at the very
beginning to help us understand
and translate the growing needs
of public education," Dallas
Herring, Chairman of the State
Board of Education, said in
opening the six-hour session.
Dr. Craig Phillips, State
Superintendent and Secretary of
the Board, reported that the
school leaders working in small
groups, discussed ideas and
possible solutions to many
problems.
"We discussed almost every
phase of our public schools," Dr.
Phillips said. "It was the general
feeling of the superintendents
that more resources must be
made available and that local
school boards and administrators
must make more creative
decisions as to the most
productive use of these resour
ces." Opfltbn VIP
