People helping people. A simple thought, yet so im portant to the success or failure of sur dommunity. It has been a key factor in America's great heritage. ; Your school officials believe that there acre many in our community who would like an opportunity to serve their fellow ifian in a meaningful way. A small be ginning has been made. : A nucleus of 14 persons have agreed tj> commit their time and talents to help • ißg us improve the reading performance (if those students who are behind in read ing. Each volunteer will receive 35 hours <if training in how to tutor children in reading. Then, they will commit a mini nsum of tw’o hours per day, two days per \leek- for the school year to assisting students on a one-to-one basis. • Those persons serving as volunteers in this program include: Mesdames Sally Connelly, Alice Winslow, Marian Lewis, Frances Inglis, Trudy Parker, SheKde Harris, Artie Nixon, Novela Wilson, Katherine Slade, Evelyn Perry, Sal Nall, Mary Hardin, Linda Shaw and Alice Jones. Other persons who have been assist ing your schools by providing are and music instruction to children in Edenton- Citowan are: Mrs. Edward Bond and Mrs. Marguerite McCall. Dutifully dur ing the past year Mrs. Bond taught art to sdme'Ttf' bur junior high school child ren. In addition, Mrs. McCall did much to provide music for the children at Walker School. In addition, eight persons have also assisted us in our individualized mathe matics program. They, like the reading volunteers, are giving their time and talents to your schools. They gave a minimum o's one hour per day to assist teachers. Persons helping in this pro gram arc: Mesdames Elaine Gibson, Faye Copeland. Shirley Stephens, Mary Elizabeth Dail, Mary Alice Jordan.

The Vaughan Respiratory Care Cen ter will be a movable set-up, perhaps later being established in a fixed loca tion. Two persons were recently added to the hospital staff to work in this area. James E. Horton of Suffolk, Va., will be involved solely in respiratory care, assisted by Mrs. Kathleen Chalek. a registered nurse who has been teaching respiratory care in the regional pro gram. Herbert A. Chalek, her husband, is the director of health planning for Region R, encompassing the 10-county Albemarle area. Surratt stated that establishing a •‘truly first class” center would be ex pected to cost from SIO,OOO to $12,000. The initial expenditures are expected to run about $5,000 with $2,915 having already been pledged. A committee headed by Surratt with Dr. Voigt and Dr. J .L. Horton repre senting the medical and dental staff, W. P. Jones of the board of directors, ■ and Mrs. Hollowell and Mrs. Vaughan [ has been appointed to set priorities for equipment as monies become available, and insure the continuation of the high level of service to the community. Surratt pointed out that persons wishing to make contributions to the memorial fund for Vaughan Respiratory Center may contact any member of the committee or send checks directly to Chowan Hospital, Inc., being sure to in dicate that the check is for the Vaughan, j memorial. He remarked that, to his knowledge, > there is not another hospital in the area that can offer a comparable service. It will be open to serve the entire 10- \qou...y Albemarle area. Farm Price List ATANTA, Ga. Tobacco prices con tinued record high during the week ended August 24, the Agricultural Marketing Service of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture reports. Egg and honey prices trended steady to higher. Peanut and Light-type hen prices held steady, while broiler prices generally held steady. Prices for cattle, hogs, heavy-type hens and cotton declined, while fruit and vegetable prices were mixed. Flue-cured tobacco sales during the week ending August 24 were marked by the opening, on a limited basis of the Middle Belt of North Carolina and the Old Belt in Virginia and North Ca rolina. Also, the remaining markets in the Eastern North Carolina Belt open ed. The remaining markets in the Old and Middle Belt will open September 11. The marketing picture in these two belts continued the same pattern as in the other three belts which already had opened. That is, record high prices, improved quality over 1971, very little tobacco going under government loan, and heavy volume of sales. Prices in Eastern North Carolina this week continued to move up to new rec ord levels. But prices in South Caro lina and Border North Carolina and in Georgia and Florida showed decreases. Water And Land Chowan County commissioners met Tuesday at the county tax office for a special session at the request of Chair man C. A. Phillips. Chairman Phillips submitted a written statement intended to be forwarded to state representatives visiting in Chowan County concerning clearing up the •‘green tide” of the Chowan River. The letter implored the stale to take “im mediate and appropriate actions against the intolerable condition of the Chowan River.” It went on to say that all streams and rivers feeding the Albemarle Sound should meet rigid standards in effluent treatment in order to preserve this nat ural resource. Commissioner N. J. George advocated a more positive position in dealing with this pollution problem. He stated that teeth should be put into what is resolv ed by the board. He went on to say that the commissioners should be better informed as to the actual nature of the situation and be prepared to take legal action where such action is appropriate. The letter was approved by the board. \ The matter of revaluation of land was discussed but left unfinished pending later action. As farmers. Commission ers C. M. Evans and D. T. Bateman op posed a large increase in valuation on the basis of the present economic status of the farm community. Talks will be sume at a later date. CLEAN WATER CRY Continued front Page 1 ly disagree to this additional financial burden on the taxpayers of the Town of Edenton if the state continues to al low industrial and municipal polluters to discharge wastes into the Chowan and Roanoke rivers, which empty into the Albemarle Sound. “We call on the state to set the high est possible standards for the Roanoke and Chowan rivers and the Albemarle Sound for all industries locating in the area from this time forward and to en force these same standards on present industries in some practical manner. “Again, we, here in Edenton, are ready to shoulder the burden of pro tecting our environment, but we want everyone fed out of the same spoon.” CAMP MEETINGS Continued from Page 1 vacation or with time off. Despite the small number, the spirit of the service was,not dampened. I quickly discover ed that the people of this faith are not governed by ritualism. The service ended punctually at noon and with the clang of the dinner bell everyone drifted to the kitchen for lunch. It almost seemed that eating a lot is a must of social etiquette among the people of the county. The festive atmosphere was highlighted by interest ing and easy conversation. The evening service started at 7:30 o'clock and people continued to trickle in for almost a half hour. Eventually, around 200 people or more filled the tabernacle. Several hymns and a pray er marked the beginning of the service, and after the round of announcements, the guest evangelist mounted the pulpit. Although Mr. Sigmon’s voice was raspy and hoarse from overuse, it didn’t effect the spirit with which he de'ivered the sermon, filled with personal testi mony. Hie reaction to the heartfelt message was a unanimous response to the invitation. After dismissal was much socializing prior to a special presentation about the Holy Land in the church sanctuary. Happy Home Camp Meeting is an experience that seems to owe its suc cess to the faith of the people that at tend. Theology, to them is only a word, for they don’t study their religion; rather they live their faith. CkIUJ&S^. "B, B4T The daily newspapers on Monday car ried a story to the effect that the Internal Revenue Service plans to get out a new form which will make it easier for tax payers to figure out their 1972 income report. Maybe it’ll be like some of the previous forms which were supposed to make the chore easier, but in fact almost required a Philadelphia lawyer to fill out one properly. Anyway, that time is rap idly approaching. o Much has been read and heard lately about pollution of Chowan River where, in a number of places dead fish by the hundreds have been seen along the banks of the river. Well, Edenton had a taste of it last week. On Friday afternoon many dead fish were floating around right in front of the Couft House Green. No wonder I caught very few of the scudders Saturday morning. But then John Taylor opines that maybe pollu tion did not kill the fish, but rather that the Russians threw overboard the fish they did not want. o Mrs. Helen Parks went to the trouble to bring in a cigar on Monday. The reason? She again became a grand mother. She visited her son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Woody Parks, at New Bern and upon her arrival she was greet ed by a new grandson, Robert Preston Parks, born August 26 in Craven Coun ty Hospital. Though somewhat sur prised, it wasn't anything new for Mrs. Parks, for the newcomer was her 10th grandchild. Quite an improvement is being made in Edenton’s business section. Up at the Byrum Hardware Company and By rum’s Gift Shop a new and attractive front is being constructed as well as changes made in the interior of the two stores. Then scaffolding is in place at the Carpet & Appliance Plaza, so that something evidently will be done to im prove ijie appearance of that building. John Taylor before his retir iment was an officer of Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company of New York City and he receives a very attractive tabloid newspaper sent out by the bank. John, no doubt, thought working for a bank was a tough job. but in the bank’s news paper “Topics” for August Friend Tay lor pointed out the following item en titled “You Think Times Are Tough Now,” which were a list of rules that the 19th Century bank employees were ex pected to follow. Here ’tis: 1. Office employees will daily sweep the floors, dust the furniture, shelves and > counters. 2. Etch day fill the lamps, clean the chimneys, trim wicks, wash windows cnce a week. 3. Each clerk will bring in a bucket of water and scuttle of coal for the day’s business. 4. Make your pens carefully. Whittle the «:bs to suit your taste. 5. This office will open at 7 A. M. and close at 8 M. daily except on the Sabbath, on which day it will be closed. Each em ployee is expected to spend the Sabbath attending church. 6. Every employee should lay aside from his pay a goodly sum of his earnings for his benefit during his declining years so that he will not become a burden upon the char ity of his betters. 7. Men employees will be given an even ing off each week for courting purposes, or two evenings if they regularly go to church. 8. Any employee who smokes Spanish cigars, uses liquor in any form, gets shaved at a barber shop, or frequents pools or pub lic hi lls, will give us '»ood reason to suspect his worth, intentions, integrity and honesty. 9. The employee who has performed his labor faithfully and without fault for a period of five years in our service, and who has been thrifty, and is looked upon by h':s fellow men as a law abiding citizen, will be given an increase of 10 rents per day in his pay, provided a just return in profit? from the business permits. Price Support Set A national average support level of $285 per short ton for 1972-crop pea nuts has been announced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. H. 0. West, executive with Chowan County ASCS. said this is $6 ner ton more than the preliminary minimum announced Apri' / and compares with the $268.50 per ton support level for the 1971 crop. The final figure represents 7S per cent of the peanut parity price for August 1, the beginning of the 1972-73 marketing year. Support levels, by type, per ton of average quality peanuts are: Virginia, $292.27; Runner, $287.55; Southeast Spanish, $280.15; Southwest Spanish, $276.11! and Valencia in the southwest area suitable for cleaning and roasting, $292.27.
