Note to John Taylor: Daylight Sav
ing Time ends at 2 o’clock next Sunday
morning.
That comes on no less authority than
our least desired morning daily publish
ed this side of Cary.
We send this special note to all our
subscribers, but especially Mr. Taylor
since he is about the only one we know
along The Public Parade who takes us
seriously.
Back when we went from EST to DST
we got mixed up on when to mess with
the clocks. Mr. Taylor believed us and
showed up at Edenton Methodist Church
not after the collection was taken but
just as Rev. Cliff Shoaf finished the
benediction.
So, Mr. Taylor now knows when to
change his clock. But which way?
We’ll never tell.
Fancy But Simple
The fancy handle placed on a new
educational facility shouldn’t scare off
those in the community who are serious
about self improvement. This facility,
with proper participation from the gen
eral public, could lead to much greater
things for the area.
It is the Learning Resources Center
which opens next week in Ernest A.
Swain Elementary School.
That is a pretty high sounding name.
However, the center itself is more down
to earth. It is a place where any num
ber of different programs can be studied
by any citizen. Materials and a quali
fied coordinator are being furnished by
the College of the Albemarle and the
only regulation on how fast one pro
gresses in his chosen program is deter
mined by the desire of the individual and
his ability.
Mrs. F. L. Britt, who has had experi
ence in adult education, is a natural as
coordinator. The community is fortun
ate to have one of its citizens qualified
to fill the position.
Just a few months ago the COA didn’t
have anything tangible in the Edenton
area. The Edenton Branch amounted
to a sign propped against a tree at the
old base fire station.

Priorities Are Set
Edenton-Chowan Board of Education
Tuesday night placed top construction
priority on the construction of a new
or renovated and enlarged cafeteria at
D. F. Walker High School.
Following closely the recommendations
of a school survey team, the board then
was unanimous in the opinion that the
remainder of the funds available be used
to enlarge John A. Holmes High School.
Supt. Bill Britt said $282,225.99 is
currently available from the state school
bond referendum.
It is estimated that $61,200 will be
‘ required to build the cafeteria at the
Walker School. The facility would be
designed for 1,000 students.
After legal and architectural fees,
cthere would be $201,070 available for
use at the Holmes School.

Five Young Boys
To Face Charges
Five Edenton and Chowan County
youths have been linked with the theft
of four automobiles here since Septem
ber 1.
Police Capt. J. D. Parrish said the
boys are 12 and 13 years old. Because
of their ages, Capt. Parrish did not iden
tify those involved.
The only vehicle damaged to any ex
tent was a 1968 Mustang taken from
Albemarle Motor Company on Septem
ber 23. It was found wrecked in East
Edenton and damage was placed at SBOO.
At the same time, the youths are
charged with taking a 1965 Ford which
was also found abandoned in East Eden
ton.
Capt. Parrish said on September 1
a 1967 Pontiac was stolen from Colonial
Motor Company. It was later found
abandoned on Court Street.
The fourth theft in which the “joy
riders” were involved occurred Friday
night during the Edenton-Perquimans
football game at Hicks Field. A 1966
Dodge, owned by Bryant E. Woodell of
Hertford, was reported missing at 10
P. M. Police found it at 1:30 A. M.,

stone in educational opportunities made
available by COA for the citizens of the
Chowan County Area. This will be
among the first such centers in a public
school facility in the state.
The COA president said through the
combined efforts of the Edenton-Chowan
Board of Education, Supt. F. L. Britt,
the Education Committee of Edenton
Chamber of Commerce, and lay leaders
of the Chowan County area, working
with the college, this plan for the Learn
ing Resources Center has become a re
ality.
The Adult Education Division of vGA
has a Learning Resources Center in op
eration at the college in Elizabeth City.
Realizing its value, this division has
worked toward this endeavor with the
idea that citizens of Chowan County can
be provided with two different approach
es to continue their education.
This division presently has organized
classes in the area’s public school fa
cilities, using the formal traditional class
room lecture approach. The Learning
Resources Center would be another ap
proach; that being individuals working
in programmed instructional materials
at their own rate of speed, without the
lecture method. Individuals may attend
at their own convenience—day or night;
this approach does not have organized
classes.
The programmed instructional mate
rials used in these centers include more
than 90 programs. They include grade
levels one through 14, and consist of the
following materials:
Reading, English, language arts, arith
metic, mathematics, social studies, sci
ence, business and foreign language.
Also, psychology, statistics, slide rule,
physics, medical terminology, air con
ditioning, sheet metal, electricity, calculus
for physical science, and trigonometry
