Lane, Harvey Butt, Jr. and Johnny Winskm County's teenage pregnancy rate ranked fourth in region Teenage pregnancy... an event with far reaching effects. An event that is also increasing in numbers each year in Perqui mans County. In 1964, 14 percent of the babies born in this county were to women between the ages of 14-19. In numbers that was 19 babies born to teenage girls (Note? this does not include the number of teenagers that were pregnant and either aborted or miscarried). For five of these girls, this was at least a second baby. Of the 19 counties in northeas stern N.C., Perquimans ranks 15th in population. However, the county ranked fourth in the re gion in their teenage pregnancy rate for 1963. This is quite alarm ing considering that in 1960 Per quimans was 16th. , The state of N.C. has shown a slight decline over the past five years in teenage pregnancy whereas Perquimans has shown ] a marked increase. This shows < that the time for intervention is . now so that this upward trend I does not continue. ? Pregnant teens and the babies they carry face greater health ( risks than women in their 20's. i These risks include: toxemia, I premature births, problems dur- I ing labor and delivery, and ane- | mia. Social and emotional problems | also place a great amount of i stress on pregnant teens. Teen- I age mothers are more likely to I miss out on educational opportu- J lities and unlikely to complete | their education. This results in their being less likely to get a de cent job and having to become dependent on public welfare pro grams. Another sad fact is that chil dren born to these mothers are more likely to become teen par ents themselves when they grow up. Eleven of the nineteen babies born to teens were born out of wedlock which increases the re- | sponsibility of the teenagers par ents. Here again this serves as a reminder that it is time for the community to take a look at the problem and join together in an effort to see that these numbers begin to decrease. Preparing for Halley's Since its earliest recorded ap parition in 240 B.C., Halley's Comet has kept a faithful rendez vous with Earth every 76 years to awe, terrify, and delight man kind.

College of The Albemarle mathemetician-astronomer Ju lian Aydlett will help make the once-in-a-lifetime event more meaningful for the local back- ' yard stargazers and other comentary enthusiasts with a one-hour workshop, "How to Ob serve Comet Halley." It will be presented at 10 a.m. on Wednes day, Nov. 13 in the lecture audito rium at the college. He will outline the calculated dates, times, and posi tions in the night sky that will af- I ford the best views of the specta cle which will not be seen again until the year 2,061.
