" Law And Order Group Meets ByKATHY NEWBERN NAGS HEAD - "Do we have any problems in law enforcement in North Carolina today?" This . question was posed before those attending the Friday night meeting of the Albemarle Law and Order Association by W.G. O'Neal, ; guest speaker for the ' evening. O'Neal is the Chief Investigator of the North Carolina Department- o& ' Insurance , O'Neal, who has been in A some phase - of law en- f forcement for 25 years, pointed out that he found nothing more demoralizing than a court which makes a law enforcement officer feel like he is the one on trial. O'Neal explained to the ', group that there is a need for more justice. He cited several recent Supreme - Court decisions which he feels restricts law officers ' from carrying out their duties. He said, "Have these decisions hurt or helped the : law enforcement officers?" The' Mast .questions that O'Neal threw out before the ' group was, "Can we have law and order without ' punishment?" In explaining ; his views on this subject, ' O'Neal admitted that he is -an "advocate of the old . school," Relating to this, Special Program At Union School Students at Perquimans Union School has an op- . portumty to see operas and ' musicals 1 come alive Monday,. Nov. 11, "The Singing Play" ventured to Union School on that date and the curtain went up at 9:30 a.m. , "The Singing Play" sposnsored by the ; Cultural Arts Division of the State Department of Pub lic instruction, is made "up of "six scenes from famous operas , and musicals.

"S ,nd their nr'-J under ts in- A'. O'Neal also questioned the feasibility of rehabilitation and probation for criminals, In an attempt to give some insight on this subject, O'Neal quoted from a newspaper article in terviewing Attorney General William Saxby. According to O'Neal, Saxby's conclusion was that there can be no rehabilitation until there is an acknowledgement of ; guilt -on the part of the; criminal. O'Neal also pointed out Saxby's support of his own theory, that there cannot be law and order without punishment. The Albemarle Law and Order meeting was held at ; the Seafare Restaurant in Nags in Nags Head, with , president R.L. Spivey presiding.

The meeting will be at the Municipal Building, and will start at 8 p.m. Both old and new board members are vri to be at t'.e r At press time last week, the election results from voters in Perquimans County were not final. This is how some of the voting went. . ' Locally, Jarvis Ward received 1006 votes in his unopposed run for clerk of court. Also unopposed was Julian' H.- Broughton run ning for the office of sheriff. Broughton totaled 1006 of the Perquimans County votes. There were two write in candidates for sheriff. Joseph Segan received one vote while Jody Dail totaled five votes. Dail ran in op position of Broughton in the primary election held last May. Unopposed for the position of coroner was Keith Haskett receiving 1004 votes.

Also on the local level, the new soil conservation, supervisors were elected. The three men running with no opposition were Elmer Requests Tax Break For Savers The North Carolina Savings and Loan League has launched a drive to collect signatures on petitions urging Congress to give savers a tax break on savings interest. r The, petitions ask Congress to vote favorably on H.R. 16994, which provides tax-free interest of $500 on savings accounts for individuals and of $1,000 for couples filing a joint return. The exemption would apply to savings interest earned at all financial in situations, including savings associations, : commercial banks, mutual savings banks and credit unions. The state campaign is part of a nationwide drive sponsored by the United States League of Savings Associations. H.W. Wentworth, Executive Vice President of the North Carolina League, said petitions supporting the bill will be available at officies of the League's member-institutions. The bill has alreadybeen ap proved by the House Ways and Means Committee. ' "This bill finally gives the little guys who have been hardest hit by inflation the tax break they deserve," Mr. Wentworth said. , "It recognizes that savers are just as important to maintaining a strong economy as are investors in stocks and municipal bonds, who have been given tax advantages for many years." "The bill will also help stop inflation and channel sorely-needed money to housing,, which is in a depression because of a lack ; of mortgage funds." Mr. Wentworth said the formation of new savings capital is crucial to ex- prs6 increasing productivity without triggering runaway inflation, In addition, savings fight inflation by curbing . spending - and drawing funds into savings accounts from more volatile sectors of the economy. He also noted that the tax exemption would provide immediate' relief to the DANCE The Elizabeth City Shrine Club will have a dance November 16th from 9:30 p.m: until 12:30 a.m. Admission . wiU be $5 per. couple. Music will be pro- vided by "The , Highway Express." , Lassiter, Floyd Matthews, and Carroll R. Williams. However, five write-in candidates received one vote each. They were Jos eph Segan Jr., Lester Simp son, Dewey Perry, John Hobbs and R.P. White. Since so many of the local and state offices were without competition, the only close voting was on the two proposed Constitutional Amendments. The first, to change the title of Solicitor to District Attorney, received 565 Perquimans County votes in favor and 260 against. The second, to create jobs to protect the environment by authorizing bonds to finance pollution control, received 421 votes for and 346 votes against in Perquimans County. For North Carolina House of Representatives, Vernon James received 987 votes while Stanford White received 979 in an unop posed contest. The voting was similar for the state senate. Unopposed were Melvin R. Daniels, Jr., receiving 988 Perquimans votes and J.J. (Monk) Harrington tallying 979 votes. housing industry, since savings accounts are the chief source of new funds for home loans . and t home construction. ' " He said a study by the U.S. League showed that a $500 tax. exemption ($1,000 for joint return) would attract $16 billion annually in ad ditional deposits to savings associations. This would enable them to provide mortgage loans for 500,000 residential units, including 200,000 new homes. "The apparent loss to the Treasury in tax revenues would be more than offset by new tax revenues generated from the housing sector of the economy alone," he concluded. "The additional funds channeled into housing would generate 350,000 jobs in construction and supplier industries, and the multiplier effect of 200,000 additional homes would boost the Gross National Product by almost $20 billion. "This would also reduce unemployment taxes and , the need for more additional federal appropriations to subsidize housing."
