Slide show to debut Eno River Calendar A slide show depicting the natural beauty of the Eno River in Durham and Orange counties will be one of the highlights Sunday at a special debut of the Eno River Calendar for 1979. The debut, to begin at 3 p.m. in Durham's Carolina Theater, also will feature exhibits of Native American artifacts found near the river, displays of past calendars, music and free refreshments. All are welcome, and there is no charge. The slide show, entitled "The Eno Experience," was prepared by Dr. Duncan Heron, professor of geology at Duke and an award-winning nature photographer. It is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. and will be shown on the theater's large screen. The theme of this year's calendar is Indians of the Eno River, according to Sandy Williamson, president of the Eno River Association which is sponsoring the event. Past calendars have focussed on mills, wildlife and plants native to the Piedmont. All proceeds from the sale of the calendars, again priced at $3.50, go toward the Eno River State Park, recreational activities in the park and the West Point Mill.

Car thieves turn pro According to .FBI statistics, there were 960,000 cars stolen last year or about one in every 33 seconds of the day. Of those, only 69 percent were recovered in contrast to 1965 when the recovery rate was 90 percent. The drastic drop in the recovery rate indicates that experienced car thieves, including big time crime syndicates, are participating in what has become a lucrative, nationwide racket. Not only are vehicles stolen outright, but many are stripped and the parts sold on the black market, posing a serious threat to volume automotive retailers. The FBI also reports 2.3 million larceny offenses relating to automobiles. Seven new faculty members have been appointed at the School of Medicine, according to Dr. Frederic N. Cleaveland, university provost. Dr. John C. Weed Jr., has been named associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology. New assistant professor in the departments indicated are: Drs. Peter C. English and Thomas R. Kinney, pediatrics; Dr. Raymond E. Ideker, pathology and medicine; Katherine A. Munning, community and family medicine; and Drs. S. Clifford Schold Jr. and Joe B. Weinberg, medicine. Weed received his undergraduate education at Brown and Tulane universities and earned an M.D. at Tulane's School of Medicine in 1968. He served his internship at the University of Alabama Hospital and completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Duke in 1973.
