public |3aradi‘ Timely Promotion A piece of Edenton is currently being featured in an award winning ad developed for the State of North Carolina by Charles Crone, Associates of Raleigh. The ad, which features the Cupola House and Somerset Place, over in Tyrrell County, has run in House Beautiful, Antique Monthly, Antique News, Newsweek, New Yorker and Time. Friend Roy Wilder, Jr., who handles the state account for Crone, writes that the ad is scheduled for another run in House Beautiful as well as newspapers in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Richmond and Washington. “Maybe Edenton will feel the effect with the April home tour,” he says. “We hope to make the home tour, having missed the last one, and having a great affection for your precincts.” It is extremely timely for these advertisements promoting tourism to appear just prior to the biennial Pilgrimage of Colonial Edenton and Countryside. The Solid First The Fourth Estate, without doubt, has the greatest number of political wags of any group. And when the General Assembly is in session they are quiet liberal with the midnight oil. Each seems to have a cause and will go at almost any limit to promote it. Many of the same writers have those who they hold in less favor; never missing an opportunity to put them down as hard as possible. This is the case with our least favored morning daily of general circulation along the Public Parade. Rep. Walter B. Jones of the First Congressional District has not been influenced by the gliberal editorial utterings, therefore, he is an easy target for their wrath. Just last week, for example, they cut loose another trial ballon for State Sen. D. Livingston Stallings of Craven, who without question has the strongest to go to Washington of anyone to our knowledge. Sen. Stallings is a freshman in the upper chamber of the General Assembly. He has extensive experience in local government and it is because of this expertise, and for no political reasons in our opinion, that he has seen fit to introduce much “Law and order” type legislation in the early days of the legislative session. * He himself admits that he toyed with the idea of seeking to unseat Rep. Jones in 1972 but found “the water wasn’t the right temperature.” Although he says he hasn’t even put the thermometer into the water for 1974, we believe Continued on Page-4 fl /§ v %,.. ■ i§ /L (J| * 'wl ? \ I*r - Sr •BMMMfcp# _. .

While not wanting to bear the label of “second class citizens”, the Albemarle Area of North Carolina urgently neecls programs which President Nixon’s new federalization system would delete from funding.

March 1, 197;'! State Commissioner of Agriculture James A. Graham of Raleigh and L. C. Bunch of Edenton Monday night were presented Honorary Chapter Farmer Awards by Chowan High School FFA. Don Bass, chapter president, presented the awards at the close of the annual Father-Son Banquet held in the school cafeteria. Commissioner Graham, who last year was named recipient of the National FFA Award, told the audience of 150 he was just as pleased with the award he received from Chowan. Bunch has been a booster of FFA for years and worked with the young men in establishing a forestry program in the Albemarle District which is now state-wide. Bunch is chairman of the district and area Soil & Water Conservation supervisors. Graham, in a forceful address, stated that the pollution would only be eliminated when people are ready to pay the price. “With extreme measures proposed for environmental protection, the result will be higher costs for food and all goods. I hope consumers will look at the entire picture and not lay all the blame on food,” he said. “Americans should be grateful to farmers for providing them with the best, most plentiful supply of food in the world. The Court Is Planned Judge George Fountain of Tarboro, will preside over a term of Chowan County Superior Court which opens here Monday. Thomas S. Watts of Elizabeth City will prosecute the docket. Mrs. Lena M. Leary, clerk of court, has released the calendar which includes 50 cases lodged against 35 defendants. Sixteen of the cases calendared for trial are for drunk driving. Graham, Bunch Honored V In discussing briefly the urgent health needs, Howard Campbell, district health director and chairman of Albemarle Human Resources Development System, said: “If the new federalization system, as proposed becomes opperative, this will mean the demise of all the previous local efforts or approximately $l - in health programs alone.” “This is an example of a region willing to join and work together with the assistance of outside the region programs to hopefully cost of which is but a fraction of any other nation,” he declared. “Farmers on the other hand are not receiving anywhere near their fair share for what they produce relative to other industries and if consumers expect to live and eat at present standards they must expect to properly support the producer. “This coupled with spiraling environmental costs to reduce pollution will drive costs up, and that is a fact,” he predicted.

Growers from principal provide a better way of life for its citizenry. Campbell said while much remains to be done in the region, an “impressive start has been made and certainly a brighter future is in the offing if the dark clouds looming on the horizon are brightened.” In his opening statement, Cullipher traced 12 years of progress toward true regionalism in the area. He said the Albemarle Area Development Association, a volunteer organization, has taken Single Copy 10 Cents. By Chowan Graham continued: “Those of us in the industry of agriculture believe firmly in preserving our environment. I don’t think we can afford to continue to pollute the air and water of this nation--but neither do I think we can let a fourth of our state and nation starve.” Turning to the Future Farmers of America, he called it one of the finest programs in the state. “It is astounding to find people in Continued on Page 4 from Chowan County are expected to be among over 200 people attending a Regional Environmental Conference in Washington on March 8 - 9. Bill Moffitt, director of the Northern Coastal Conference, stated he is looking forward to a large crowd. “I am particularly pleased that many citizens interested in environmental education from Chowan are planning to attend”, Moffitt said. “It is iiportant that leaders of Chowan County participate in environmental education planning”, Moffitt stated, “for there are particular problems and needs in Chowan County which will be impossible to plan for unless there are informed citizens of the county in the planning process”. Moffitt added that this conference, one of six to be held in the state this spring, are Continued on Page 4 peanut growing states also are expected to testify. The proposed changes, effective for the 1973 crop, would: 1. Eliminate the sheller purchase operations which guarantee a government market for lower quality peanuts; 2. Eliminate government purchases of peanuts containing afiatoxin, a carcinogenic element which shows up in peanuts from certain areas because of soil condition, thus restricting their market to the export trade or for non-edible use in the United States; 3. Require th£ grower to pay grading, handling and storage fees the lead in attempts to improve the social, cultural and economic conditions of the area. He said leaders in the area were well aware that not one county was large enough or had adequate funds to provide the service the people “so richly deserve”, but by “working together a brighter day was in store for us.” In addition to Sen.
