Thursday, October 7,1971. Senator B. Everett Jordan Reports From Washington WASHINGTON —ln recent deyr I have been asked how I can support an extension of . if I want to see an end to our participation in the war in Southeast Asia, bn’t <he simpliest way to end the war to vote to end the draft? This is a fair question and I would like to share my answer with all of you so that each person will under stand why, aflhough I was necessarily absent from the Senate, I had my position in favor of the general Selec tive Service Act announced prior to the roll call on Sep tember 21, 1971. Personally, I favored only a one year extension of the draft but when this propo sal—as well as the 18 month extension was voted down by the Senate I was faced with the hard choice of sup porting a two year extension or no extension at all.

Smartly perched on a feminine mid heel. ELLIOTT CO OF EDENTON I could not support an end to the draft now because I felt H would be impractical and dangerous to do so while still conducting a shooting war. No one knows what would happen If the were to be. permanently stop ped at this time and I do not think it is wise or fair to take a chance with our troops in the field. I want our men to come home but since I do not have the power singlehandcdly to bring them all back, I am not going to do anything to jeopardize their lives and safety. I also think It quite likely that we. can withdraw our men from Vietnam faster than We can overhaul the entire military system in or der to institute a voluntary army. Last, and perhaps more im portant, I believe that we must come to grips with the problem of our policy in this war and must not try to use the draft as a means to ac complish the end we want. 1 think we have acceptance in the 'United States Congress of legislation stating in clear, unmistakable terms that we will withdraw totally within a definite period of time. 1 worked for this when I voted for the McGovern - Hatfield amendment and again when I supported the Mansfield amendment. Since the House soundly rejeoted the whole idea of the Mansfield amendment and the House-Senate conference com mittee weakened it signific antly, I voted to table the conference report so it could be returned to the conferees to be restrengthened. This move wailed, however, and both Houses clearly accepted the conference report. Senator Mansfield re-intro Chowan Trustees Discuss Program MURFREESBORO—Members of Chowan College’s board of (trustees and board of advisors met Monday of last week in the Antiquities Room of •Whitaker Library and focused attention on the “Mission Possible” development fund program. Those present represented the business, industrial, pro fessional, religious, medical and governmental communi ties from a four-state area. Attending from Edenton was E. L. Hollowell, a trustee. Three new advisors present were: iL. A.

Matthews, Jr., trustee and campaign general chairman from Ham ilton. The goal of the “Mis sion Possible” program is $1 million with cost of con struction expected to be ap proximately $1,500,000 equip ped. “This could be the most important meeting of the board of trustees since the founding of the college,” Matthews emphasized. He focused on the securing of “Mission Possible” leadership in seven key regions of North Carolina and Virginia. Mat thews also called for the support of the members of the boards. Jr k MC!

Moyer was stricken with polio at the age of four, and it paralyzed both his legs. The old world gave Emery a pair of crutches and wished him the best of luck. As it turned out, he made his own luck. Moyer became a base ball pitcher for the German town baseball club when he was 16 and two years later he compiled a 17-won, 2-lost record. In 1940, Moyer astounded 23,000 fans in Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium during an amateur day exhibition. He struck out four, allowed only two hits and the game ended in a 2-2 tie. Moyer used the money from baseball to fi nance a college education, spending three years at Mi ami University and graduated from Miami Jacobs College. His insatiable thirst for athletic challenges' and con quests led him to trap shoot- New Books At Local Library New books received at the Shepard-Pruden Memorial Li bary include the following: Non-Fiction The Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary.

Our allies, New Zealand and Australia, have already an nounced their plans for with ing in 1960, at the age of 39. In previous years, Moyer had bowled with a 160 average and consistently scored in the low 90s in golf. After Moyer took up trap shooting he quickly became a star and is now one of the top trapshot*. in Ohio. “When you’re out on the trap line—whether you are on crutches, in a wheel chair, or with one arm everybody is equal,” said Moyer. He was president of the Ohio State Trapshooting Association in 1966 and he shattered 200 straight to tie for the class title at the Grand American last August when we named him on the 1971 Sports Afield All - America Trapshooting team.

R was duck hunter Harry Englehait who first introduced Jacque to the Palm Beach Gun Club last winter. He was then the most devoted of golfers and past president of the Hollywood. Florida, Golf Club. While playing golf at the Palm Beach Golf Club, of which he is a member, Sal? heard some shooting. So he drove over to the Palm Beach Gun Club to have a look. He had never fired a shotgun in. his life. But Salz liked wharl he saw and asked Paßm Beach Manager Bob Porter to give him a few lessons. Now he's a confirmed shooter, and you can find him any day through the winter at the Palm Beach Gun Club, not on the golf course. It takes a man like Emory Moyers to prove that a handicap need not be a handicap at all.
