Ilublic IjJararic if v if uu< More On Vaughan tenter The proposed Vaughan Respiratory Caire Center at Chowan Hospital con ! timies to enjoy support from individuals, organizations and businesses. This widespread memorial giving is charac teristic of the awe in which Dr. Roland H. Vaughan was held by those \v’no me ander along the Public Parade. Started less than a month ago. the memorial has resulted in a total of $4,135 as of Monday. The Peoples Foundation of Pe<»ples Bank & Trust Company has contributed SIOO. Dr. Vaughan was a veteran mem ber of the local board of managers at the tftne of his death. The Belk Foundation has also con tributed SSOO toward the center, which will be unique in a hospital the size of the local institution. This center, once sufficient funds have been donated to insure the purchase of adequate equipment, will provide out patient care, as well as acute and chronic respiratory patient care. Xow those in the area with respiratory difficulties must be sent to Norfolk or Wilson for treat ment: Also, the center will be available to patients from surrounding counties, as it will be the only one in the Albemarle Area. Such a facility befits the man for whom it was named. We are quite con fident there are other individuals, or ganizations and businesses who desire to be a part of establishing the Vaughan Respiratory Care Center at Chowan Hospital. It is not too late. Singing On Keg Politicians throughout Tar Heclia arc waxing eloquent these days as they search for voters in various quarters. An al most untouched bloc was recently court ed by Hargrove (Skipper) Bowles, the r Democratic nominee for governor, and 1 his counterpart for insurance commis sioner. Rep. John Ingram. At a Wilson speech, Mr. Bowles called rescue squad volunteers the “unseen guardian" of North Carolina and said: “Just imagine what would happen in this state if all the rescue squads and volun teer firemen disappeared. There would be absolute chaos, absolute ruin.” And a few days later, Rep. Ingram gave His “total support” toThO then of this state's fire and rescue serricer These arc men who. if elected, can change the attitude in state government toward thousands of volunteers to work with fire and rescue units. For those along the Public Parade and elsewhere in North Carolina, their expression of concern and pledge of full support is welcomed news. Mr. P>owles said the fact that busy men volunteer for this work makes it even more amazing. “The state simply couldn't find the money to do the job \ y you are doing, in emergency work, in firefighting, in public service. “Yet, you and I know that your work often goes completely unnoticed. There is no centrtal place in state government where the needs of rescue squads are recognized. You are regulated by two or three departments which only do a slapdash job.” Mr. Bowles will be relieved to know that these volunteers don’t expect pay or fancy plaques for their work.' They do expect, however, equal training re sources along with decent, safe equip ment. Too, they need to have the office of Fire Marshal reinstated so emergency services will have a strong voice in state government. And it is not asking too much for these emergency services to lie given some Law and Order type aid. Gov. Bob Scott made his timely Law vand Order speech down in Dunn and it was credited with putting him out of reach of his opponent. The utterances of Mr. Bowles and Rep. Ingram could very well give their campaigns the added thrust to do the same thing for them. To those of us who have championed the cause of these dedicated volunteers, these two Democratic candidates are singing the high notes right oit key. Some Grants Questionable Grants to maintain the staffs and es sential activities of s|)ccial school de segregation programs of school districts and community groups in eight southern states have been made in the amount of $11,373,370. Five school systems in the Albemarle Area received a total of $109,247; Since Edenton - Chowan Schools wes not among those systems funded, it is proper not only to ask ‘‘why” but “how” . well are our “staffs and essential activi ties’’ being maintained. There arc proh c itbly two or three explanations why the local schools did not -share in the $2,444,666 pie cut for Tar Heclia.

Thursday through Saturday. More than 50 craftsmen ana artists from the Albemarle counties will dem Edenton and Chowan County “one of the most progressive communities in Northeastern North Carolina. And this is but a reflection of the attitude you have toward the further development of your economy as you seek to create the' jobs necessary to keep your young gainfully employed in their hometown.” Jarvis said the study is another “tool for your use in your continuing pro gram in planned and sound economic development.” He said it would be es pecially helpful in long-range planning in Chowan plans necessary to main tain the pleasant characteristics of the community and at the same time allow for orderly development to broaden the economic base. The speaker praised the cooperation which exists between county and mu nicipal government, the proper attitude which is evident, and the strong cham ber and its Industrial Committee. Also, he warned area leaders against neglecting existing industry. He said: “These are your people—and the key to attracting new industry.” Vepco's area development department Area Commission Pushes Phone Change For Gates Norfolk & Carolina Telephone & Telegraph Company has been asked to take steps to include all of Gates Coun ty in the Albemarle Metro system of toll free dialing.

Company researchers worked with the chamber’s Industrial Committee in ob taining data to be included in the re port.

S. Blades, 111, vice presi dent and general counsel for N&CT&T. Also, Cullipher said the present system creates the type of situation where all citizens of the county are not treated in the same manner. “This is to say that from the Gatesville area, north, the same privilege is not afforded the toll free service as those cast of Gates ville.” " Acting on a resolution from AAl.a, Cullipher told Blades that ARPDC is soliciting the firm’s “consideration in the matter of including all of Gates County in the Albemarle Area System. We are genuinely interested in this situation as we feel that a definite eco nomic impact is indicated on the area, not to mention the convenience it would afford all of the citizens of Gates County.” L. F. Amburn. Jr., of Edenton. AADA president, said Gales County is an inte gral part of the 10-county Albemarle Area and every effort is being made to provide all area services on an equal basis to the citizens of the county. He pointed out that calling portions of Gates County from Edenton is toll free and other subscribers can only be reached toll free from Chowan County residents in the Welch exchange, north of Edenton.
