m THE CHOWAN HERALD |H Volume XXXVUI—No. 27. public parade Hit And Run No, we haven’t yet grown to the point of being able to afford an editorial car toonist, but the artwork of this page was found in our unattended typewriter Fri day afternoon. The new “leash” dog ordinance re cently passed by Edenton Town Coun cil has been the subject for considerable debate, sometimes heated, so the car toon is timely, to say the least. Blount Shepard is to be commended for his artwork. And we’re glad to be cut-of-town when it appears. Noted And Passed The dateline on this little bit of wis dom,! via Associated Press, is Peter borough, England: Harry Biggs says he thinks he has stumbled across a new cure for bald ness—horse manure. Biggs, a 69-year-old pensioner, went bald 15 years ago. A friend gave him a manure mix to fertilize his garden and in the process some of it rubbed off on Biggs’ head about six months ago. Now his hair is growing back. But a spokesman at the local factory that makes the manue mix Biggs used— horse manure, peat and chalk thinks the whole story smells. “We have lots of bald men working here and they handle the stuff all day,” he said. “But their hair never seems to grow.” End of dispatch. > This is something, however, the boys at Home Feed & Fertilizer can file away to research should farmers along the Public Parade experience another bad harvest season. Congratulations, Gates! We want to be among the first to con gratulate the Gates County commission ers on their recent decision to remain aligned with the Albemarle Area in the state’s multi-county planning region. It was a victory for the good people in neighboring Gates, who have so much „_io-coounon-with us.who meandec-along the Public Parade. But it was some what of a defeat for State RepN Robert H. Jernigan. When a decision was made several months ago to switch from Region “R” to Region “Q,” Rep. Jernigan was in the middle of his first political campaign in Gates; that county having just been added to his district. He publicly promised to get the necessary arrange ments made in Raleigh. Now comes our friends who write edi torials for “Your Home Newspaper” out Continued on Pago 4 Spear Appointed Clyde Spear, a senior at John A.

J I A Jim Hunt Meeting Slated By Policy Group Williamston has been selected as the site of a meeting of the Governor’s Council on State Goals and Policy Wednesday. Gov. Bob Scott is sched uled to conduct the meeting, which is for State Planning Regions “L,” “Q,” and “R.” The meeting will begin at 9 A. M. at Town and Country Restaurant. Region “R” is composed of the 10- county area of Northeastern North Ca rolina directed by the Albemarle Re gional Planning & Development Com mission, located in Edenton. Gov. Scott recently appointed James Hunt of Wilson, Democratic lieutenant governor-nominee, as chairman of the council. It is not known whether or not Hunt will attend the meeting. Members of the governor’s staff said the regional meeting will include gov ernment and civic leaders who will dis cuss “any problems they term relevant to their communities.” The meetings are described as “data gathering seminars” to enable state leaders to better understand and solve community problems. ■> A spokesman at the governor’s office said the meeting will be held to gather information in four specific areas: eco nomy, learning opportunities, health care and environment. TTie meeting reportedly is an “open” one, and the options of all are wel come. It is scheduled to end at 3.30 P. M. Wesley Cullipher, ARPDC executive director, said the purpose of the meet ing will be to “provide citizen input” necessary for the work of the gover nor’s council. “We are extending written invitations to local government and other com munity leaders because they are most likely to be abreast of local problems; but we want to emphasize this will be an open, public meeting,” he said. As away of organizing the work of the council, which was formed last year by Gov. Scott, the state was divided into multi-county planning regions, each with a letter designation. The council represents the second major step in Gov. Scott’s early com mitment to a better organized, more ef ficient governmental structure. French Teacher Parler Vous Francais? The answer for many boys and girls will be a re sounding yes this fall. The Edenton-Chowan Schools have been afforded an opportunity to have, through the auspices of the Experiment in International Living, a French langu age assistant assigned to the school sys tem for the 1972-73 academic year. This person will be utilized by the school system to provide enriching language and social studies instruction in the elementary, junior and senior high grades.

C, Jones, district agricultural ex tension head, said such an agent would “serve the full seafood interests in the area.” He said such an agent “would not be a research man” but would deal prim arily in education, promotion and relat ed endeavors to stimulate the seafood interest in producing, harvesting, pro cessing, shipping and such. He pointed to the progress of the in dustry in the Morehead City-Wilmington areas and felt “an area agent would help the Albemarle.

Jesse L. Harrell, chairman of the Board of Public Works, said Monday the well, which has a complete filter system, will “approximately double the capacity of Edenton’s water supply.” It is part of a $934,000 water and sewer extension project proposed here in 1970. Citizens of the town voted favorably for a $600,000 grant from the federal government to aid in paying lor the project. Coupled with the deep-well has been a 500,000 overhead water storage tank which is already in operation. This more than doubles the town’s water storage capacity. The new deep-well is located at the north end of Beaver Hill Cemetery. Harrell said the well would undergo a week of test before being added to the line. ■ In addition to the new well supply and storage tank, the water and sewer extension project included water distri bution to Morgan Park, Paradise Road, West Albemarle Street and Old Hert ford Road; plus sewer collection to four sites and Chowan Hosiptal.

A blue-ribbon panel of representa tives from these organizations and in stitutions were present for the formal announcement. Dr. Ron Davis, director of the di vision of continuing education of NCRMP, termed it an “educational pro gram.” He said “the idea is to get an area to look at its own needs, ask how we can cooperate, plan and share resources and present it in such away as to build ideal programs which result in local providers, education and local health planning." Dr. Jerry Hallan of the Institute of Human Ecology, viewed it as a “vehicle to meet the problem” of sparsely popu lated sections retaining its people. He said the general purpose, hope fully “will increase the level of aware ness of health and of the various health services.” ARPDC Director Wesley Cullipher de scribed it as “continuing education in the field of health”.
