public |Jaraflt‘ Continued from Pago 1 We are here tonight, primarily to reward excellence in the field of community development. We are also here because we are in terested enough in our area to become involved. And that is what it is all about. Little more than a year ago one observed that there was no longer a place in the scheme of things for an organization such as the Albemarle Area Development Association. With the addition of ■ the Albemarle Regional Planning & Development Commission’s paid staff to take off where the Economic Improvement Council, Inc., stopped appeared to some adequate reason to abolish AADA. Personally, I accepted the ■ presidency of AADA on the ; challenge that this was not the j logical approach. I believe the new j people who have become involved ; in this organization during the past 12 months are ample proof . that there will always be one : essential ingredient to total : development of any area-citizen : input. ! Instead of disbanding, AADA ■ actually get its second breath. And : while community development must not be minimized, we saw a need to do our homework in such areas as finance and govern mental affairs. These two com mittees broadened the base of AADA and got nearly 50 more people involved in activities of the organization. And while we planned for the future, we implemented many of the plans made by our predecessors. It would probably be wiser to let some of the past year’s activities be tempered by age, but one cannot go unmentioned here. This is the role AADA played in ob taining a full time coordinator for the hundreds of volunteers who man the more than 30 fire departments in Northeastern North Carolina. These were the “largely forgotten men” who needed a “friend in court,” if you please, and who found that friend in AADA. Another item that strengthened this organization during this past year was the wonderful cooperation given by officers and canmittee chairmen who put together programs of tremendous interest. This indicated the programs were not hurriedly done which is always appreciated by those in attendance. So, as we pause to pay tribute to those who have excelled in community development, let us not lose sight of the fact that this development is more than clean up campaigns, covered dish suppers, playgrounds, etc. Total development of the community in which we live, work and play is the name of the game and AADA has come to play. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving as your president. You can be assured of my continuing interest in the Albemarle. Respectfully submitted, L. F. AMBURN, JR., President, Albemarle Area Development Association Lab Is Real Gift While adults in the Albemarle area are busy purchasing gifts for friends as the Christmas season approaches, the College of The Albemarle wishes to offer to all adults a gift without monetary cost. This gift is a chance to complete one’s high school education or to take a general interest course for self improvement or just for fun. The only expense to a par ticipant is his time since the College of The Albemarle provides certified teachers and programmed materials for use in the Edenton Learning Lab which is located in the Ernest A. Swain Elementary School. Since the Lab is designed for adults (18 years or older), each adult designs his own schedule around work or family respon sibilities. In order to serve all The Chowan Herald BOX 207, CDSNTON, N. C. 27*12 Published every Thursday at Edenton by The Chowan Herald, Inc., L. F. Am bi'j-n, Jr., prcaldcnt and general, manager, 421-C5 Smith Broad Street, Edenton, North Carolina 27832. Entered aa aeeond-elan matter August 30, IBM, at the Poet Office at Edenton, North Carolina, under the act of March 3. 1870. L. F. Ambon, Jr., PrwMent/Cka. Mgr. J. Edwin Bu/flap Editor Haetor typ*"" , A < * pa *tlifpf Manager 111 Musing Machanlcal Supt “By Buff" Meard £jSe«n Well, Edenton’s business section is now decorated for the Christinas season, with the Electric and Water Department boys climbing high to place the tinsel across the street and attractive lighted red lamps on the light poles. The annual Christmas parade is scheduled to be held this (Thursday) afternoon at 4 o’clock. The parade this year will be in charge of Edenton Jaycees and with that group of live-wire young men, the parade should be a hum-dinger and wor thwhile for a lot of people to turn out to see it. Here’s hoping toe weather man will look favorably on the event so that a large number of kiddies will be able to see Santa Claus, and papas and momies getting about as much fun as the youngsters. Anyway, the Christ mas season is here and with the Christmas spirit permeating toe air, maybe we’ll not have quite as many grouches for a while at least. 0 Chowan County’s Shrine Club nominated officers for the year 1973 at its meeting Thursday night, but had a little trouble in filling one of the of fices. One member was placed in nomination, but declined due, he said, to his health. Then another and another and another was nominated, but each one also declined due to his health. It appeared at one time that toe whole bloomin’ club was composed of “sick” members. Anyway, one “well” member was put in nomination so that the slate of new officers was finally completed and will be elected at the December meeting of the club, at which time the ladies will be special guests. However, no matter how “sick” some of the Shriners were, every last one felt very good when the club presented a check for $1,300 to Nelson Banks of New Bern to go toward the support of Shriners’ hospitals. This amount represented the income of the annual Shriners’ fish fry held back in September. 0 And then recently at a meeting of Edenton Rotary Club a certain Rotarian was named to a particular job to be done during a week. “No, I cannot accept the job," he said, “for I’ll be out of town that week.” President George Hunnicutt then asked the Rotarian what week he would be out of town, to which the reply was made, “any week that job is supposed to be done.” 0 Christmas parties are now m full season with some of us having sort of a hard time trying to remember which one and when it will be held. The Scottish Rite Club held its party Friday night at the Masonic Temple and it was a very pleasant affair--the covered dish variety. As usual, there was enough of the best kinds of food on hand to feed another such crowd. Three rows of tables were arranged in the dining room and John Mitchener. Jr., ate at each one - probably because he thought no one would detect the fact that he had three generous helpings. “Anyway,” said John, “with so many kinds of food on that table, I don’t want anyone to think that I didn’t want to eat what they had brought-it’s all so good that I wanted to sample everything on the table.” Then to top it off, on toe dessert table there was several kinds of pies and cakes, including the very popular chocolate cake with about 10 layers made by Mrs. Toss White of Winfall. Mrs. White wrapped up the last piece on the plate and told John to take it to his wife, who was unable to attend toe party. Now I‘m going to make it my business to see if Mrs. Mitchener really got the piece of cake. O If it is the purpose of the Post Office Department to speed up the mail, all of my arithmetic has gone for naught. For some time now any mail sent from Edenton say to Tyner, Hertford, Elizabeth City or other points in this section was first sent tp Rocky Mount and then returned to the distination designated. Now the mail is scheduled to be sent further away, to Raleigh, and then sent back in this direction. Keep on and it will be just about as fast to deliver toe mail by carrying it ourselves. Anyway, Raleigh is some 60 miles from Rocky Mount, so to go from Rocky Mount to Raleigh and back again just don't jibe with speeding up the mail. But then maybe there’s a new kind of arithmetic. adults, the Lab is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 A.M. to 4 P.M. and on Friday from 8:30 A M. to 3 P.M. To meet the needs of working adults, the Lab is also open from 6:30 P.M. to 9:30 P.M. Monday through Thursday. in addition to courses offered in preparation for the high school equivalency certificate and the adult high school diploma, other popular courses such as Consumer Education, Stenospeed, and Black History are available. Any adult interested in ob taining this gift may come to the Labor call 482-4745. Any one of the three coordinators - Mrs. Loretta Guard, Jake Boyce, or Mrs. Rachael Holmes - will be happy to talk with any adult about what might prove to be die most valuable gift he will receive this season. Push Health Care George M. Stockbridge of Durham, executive secretary of the Health Planning Council for Central North Carolina and a veteran of 10 years in health planning, has told members of the Albemarle Comprehensive Health Planning Council that this board with its broad representation is in a position to take the leadership role in assuring the best of health to the citizens of this area. ’ The council, composed of health professionals and consumers from all of the Albemarle’s 10 counties, heard Stockbridge emphasize the importance of broad-based planning in the health field. With the health industry quickly ap proaching the status of the nation’s number-one employer, it becomes crucial that this service industry marshal it’s vast resources towards meeting the true need of the nation’s citizens. He said that the council is in a position to identify these needs in the Albemarle and work towards achieving this goal. The chairman of the council is Thomas M. Surratt and the director is Herbert A. Chalek. Phillips Stays Continued from Pago 1 for bids on two emergency vehicles for Edenton-Chowan Rescue Squad after learning of matching funds being approved by the Governor’s Highway Safety Committee. The federal govern ment is putting $13,300 into the project which is 50 per cent of the anticipated cost. The remainder is to come from local funds. Shortly before adjourning at 1:45 P.M., the board officially expressed their preference to levy taxes on land use. This is in reply to a questionnaire from the N. C. Association of County Com missioners. Commissioners also amended the budget to increase the per capita contribution for Pettigrew Regional Library from sl.Ol to $1.25. This increased the local contribution by $2,560 and will aid in obtaining additional state funds. Thomas Shepard, chairman of Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library, and Mrs. Nellie Saun ders, regional librarian, appeared to make the request. They pointed out that Tyrrell County is already at the $1.25 figure and Washington County is being asked to increase from $1.13 to $1.25. Dr. Eddie West, superintendent of Edenton-Chowan Schools, reported on unique programs being carried on at Walker Junior High School. This prompted George to say he had observed the positive programs and com plement the superintendent on doing a good job. Wallace Evans was re appointed Chowan County chairman of Albemarle Area Development Association. Dallas Jethro, Jr., county coordinator wno serves as tax collector, alsp came in for com mendation. Commissioner Elmore noted the $6,396.26 collected in delinquent taxes and said Jethro and his staff are to be congratulated for their efforts in this field. The department also collected $58,580.28 last month on the 1972 levy. The board named Mrs. Myrtle Hare of Jethro’s office to be registrar for voters in the county’s motified part-time system. Mrs. Pansy Elliott, county finance director, has been handling the registration. Also, the board voted to ad vertise for bids for an accounting machine for Mrs. Elliott’s office. Chairman Phillips read a report that Workmen’s Compensation insurance would cost the county $1,013.47. Elmore, who had inquired about the coverage, suggested that it be considered in fiscal 1973-74. The board voted to continue support of the regional program on aging and endorsed the four year medical school for East Carolina University. Dr. R. N. Hines, Jr., resigned from the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission and Elmore was asked to represent the county on this group. He was also named the county’s represen tative to the AHMffiarle Mental Health Commission. George raised the question of the pay for jurors, said he didn’t think anyone should have to sacrifice financially to be a juror. He said the $8 now paid by die county is too low. Commissioners agreed to study the matter and report at a later date. The county offices will be dosed December 28 and 26 for Christmas holidays and the next regular board meeting pill be January 8, 1975, since the regular date is New Yew’s Day. More Aid Continued from Page 1 Dr. West said the program will be “innovative and different” though he did not spell it out. He admitted chances for federal funding under the Emergency School Assistance program are slim due to the stringent criteria established by federal authorities. He also told board members school superintendents from six Northeastern North Carolina counties, four of which are in an adjoining region, are toying with the idea of a “con sortium” and'hiring a full-time “funds sniffer” to aid educatioinal programs. Admitting the idea is merely in the “talking stage”, Dr. West said there are numberous state and federal grants available which most systems and administrators aren’t aware of.
