Scott, a Democratic can didate for governor, says that law and order must be maintained “if we are to have a peaceful, a progres sive and a prosperous North Carolina.’’ Holmes High News By Martha Britton and Amy O'Neal Though approximately five weeks of school re main, a whole school year of planning, anticipation and worry came to an end for the junior class when its Junior-Senior Prom took place Friday night. The theme was “Camelot” and music was furnished by the “Twin Ends.” Many sources say this was the best Junior-Senior ever held at JAHHS. A new trend in JAHH’S clubs is not to have a nominating committee to select club officers for the coming year. Both the Tri-Hi-Y and the FTA are following this new policy. Student Council nomina tions were held Wednes day, May 1, and followed by a talent show. Last week the girls' track team placed first in its meet against Pasquo tank Central with a final score of 61-25. MtE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1968. “Although government has a great responsibility to maintain order and up hold the law, it cannot do the job alone. This is your business and mine. It is also the business of par ents, of churches, the schools, the civic clubs and the industries of North Ca rolina.” Scott has presented these 12 proposals as “an effec tive program for maintain ing law and order.” Here is a summary: 1. Make it “crystal clear” that we shall have a government of laws rather than of men. The law will be upheld and full support will be given to law en forcement officers. 2. He advocated “more and better training” for law enforcement officers. Expand training programs in community colleges and “through the establishment A Lamentation For Myrtle’s Cat By Murrell Smith The tender morning is fill ed with yellowish golden glow from the early sun and crimson streaks of red and orange stretches across the sky; A soft cat sleeps content edly under a slender weeping willow as the wind moves the drooping branches they tickle her ears and cause them to twitch; At feeding time she’ll gorge herself until her belly js round, then she’ll sleep on the window sill, not a whimper or casual remark will bother 'her; As the sun moves around the house she moves, when the lingering day is over, she’ll eat supper, then sleep on Myrtle’s pillowcase and watch the shows on television; But fate is beyond man’s power to understand, life is like a spinning wheel of destiny no one knows how long the thread may i be before it’s cut off in I the glory of life; Myrtle’s o u fTtTf greatly in sorrow and grief, for the tender cat. that was is no more; Myrtle’s heart mourns greatly for the sensitive cat that was no more, but in the entanglements of life no one escapes unhurt; Now a lamp bums bright ly on the window sill where only yesterday Suzy slept so sound and peaceful, not a whimper or casual remark could bother her. Intelligent adults are kind to the children they meet in life. of a state police academy. The academy would offer instruction for SBI (State Bureau of Investigation) agents, ABC (Alcoholic Board of Control) agents, wildlife protection agents and highway patrol offic ers. Riot control training “should be given” to state and local officers. “Train ing in police administration could be offered top police officials,” Scott said. The training could consist of re fresher courses in the lat est techniques of crime prevention, detection and solution. 3. A statewide commu nications network should be established, linking all law enforcement agencies in the state. “A state Important in banking, too. Banking at Peoples is balanced banking. Full Service banking—your Checking Account, Savings Account, Trust Services, Personal Loans, Business Loans—each in the hands of a Peoples staffer who s an expert in his field. When you do all your banking with us, you get truly balanced banking service—and the kind of financial counseling that could keep you from falling on your face! : K l I wide system would pro vide greater coordination, utilization of manpower in any emergency,” Scott said. 4. More personnel should be provided for state law enforcement ag encies, especially the SBI. 5. Every state law en forcement officer should be provided with the “best and most modern equip ment” to perform his du ties. 6. The administration ol the work release program should be tightened, he suggested. “The work re lease program should be maintained for it has def inite positive effects, but it should not be too loosely administered.” 7. The state should more mobility and better work with local govern ments and “develop pro grams aimed at better housing, job opportunities, more emphasis upon train ing in the vocational skills” that will eliminate “conditions that breed crime, unrest and lawless ness.” 8. Local governments should be encouraged to pay law enforcement of ficers better salaries and provide them with .more fringe benefits and better working conditions. “Local governments should also be encouraged to implement programs de signed to improve the im age and prestige of the law enforcement officer in his community,” he added. 9. Programs should be implemented in the public schools “to instill more re spect for law and order and to teach moral values to young people.” 10. Strong support should be given to the Good Neighbor Council. “Every effort should be made to keep the lines of communications open be tween the races so that problems can be solved be fore violence occurs.” 11. When outbreaks of violence occur “the total law enforcement resources of the state must be made available to local govern ments immediately upon their request. Life and property must be protected and any violence must be dealt with quickly, firm ly and fairly.” . - PAGE SEVEN 12. When violators of the law are found “they should be apprehended and brought before the courts. It is the responsibility of the courts, and that in cludes juries as well as judges, to mete out jus tice fairly, impartially and swiftly.” Scott said that if he is elected governor, he will “provide you with positive leadership and leadership oi integrity.” “I will work hard with you and for you. I will devote my energies to im plementing, with the help of the General Assembly, those programs that will combat crime, put down violence, reduce lawless ness and thus make a bet ter state for us all.” r—c
