More than 135,000 pounds of suspect meat were detained in North Carolina by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) during the fiscal year that ended June 30. The detentions resulted from increased efforts by federal and state agencies to protect the consumer from unwholesome, adulterated or misbranded meat and poultry products. The Compliance Staff of USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has the responsibility for making detentions and is the investigative arm of USDA’s meat and poultry inspection program. Os the 135,037 pounds of meat detained in North Carolina during the 12-month period, individual amounts detained ranged from 488 pounds in one instance to 39,861 pounds in another. APHIS compliance staff is authorized to make these detentions of (1) nonfederally inspected meat or poultry products found in interstate commerce or in a state that does not have an inspection program, (2) USDA-inspected meat and poultry products which may have become wholesome or adulterated after passing inspection at an official plant or has been found to be misbranded and (3) any meat (Antiques Sc P postering QUALITY WORKMANSHIP COME IN AND BROWSE . . .

Compliance officers make unannounced visits to firms which sell or transport meat or poultry. In essence, they act as a second line of defense to prevent unfit products from reaching the consumers table. Bobby Lott, officer-in-charge of the Southeast Area compliance staff office at Atlanta, Ga., said, “The main concern of our compliance officers is to assure the American consumer of a wholesome, unadulterated, truthfully labeled meat and poultry product. The officers also try to prevent irregularities and violations of meat and poultry laws before they actually occur.” To give further strength to the enforcement of meat and poultry inspection in North Carolina, the N. C. Department of Agriculture signed a cooperative agreement with APHIS which gives state officials the authority to take action under federal as well as state laws. In addition, APHIS has assigned a compliance officer to work full-time in North Carolina. You can’t beat this statement: “An honest man is the noblest work of God.” ‘ WiP ** v„v .''

Edenton was one stop in their journey from Orlando, Fla., to Huntington, N. Y. Long Bicycle Journey Includes Stop In Edenton By FLYNN SURRATT Shadows had begun to lengthen and U.S. 17 took on the appearance of a long, gun-metal gray serpent shimmering in the waning afternoon sun. It was then that the flags began to appear. They were orange day glo, over 40 in number, bouncing and swaying up the roadway in an unusual procession. And attached to each flag was a bicycle and a bone weary biker anxious to call the day quits after about 120 hard fought miles. The young men, totaling 42 strong, were part of a Christian organization, Campus Life, operating out of Suffolk County, N.Y. They were passing through Edenton on the last half of a 1,200 mile odyssey from Orlando, Fla. to Huntington. N.Y. They wound up the eight day journey on Saturday when they returned home to hot showers and comfortable beds. About 30 minutes prior to their arrival in Edenton, Rev. Edenton, North Carolina, Thursday, August 2, 1973 George Holmes was contacted '< concerning lodging for the group. After a few calls ' arrangements were made to ’ camp out at Sandy Point Beach. I They logged in their final few miles down to the Albemarle < Sound and prepared for the I night’s stay. i Several self-appointed ! spokesmen stated that it began with a 22-hour bus trip from 1 Long Island to Orlando arriving ( there on July 16. The following I day, they were met by another < group from Nassau, N.Y., who I traded their bikes for the bus. The first day of the bike trip included a trip to Disney World. Moving up the coast they spent j most of the nights in churches j but included a Highway Patrol station, garage, and service station in the list. The bikers were accompanied by a truck which carried food, supplies, parts, and casualties. As well they had a full time mechanic to handle all repairs and a motorcyclist for scouting up the road. Each day they averaged 1 Talk Planned On Area History Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library and Historic Edenton are sponsoring the appearance of Miss Doreen Bolger on August 7, at 8 P.M. in the Municipal Building Auditorium.

In the fall she will be attending the City College of New York to work on her doctorate in American Art. Since June 1 she has been a field representative of the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, doing research on decorative arts prior to 1820 and covering an area from Tarboro and Roanoke Rapids to the Coast. Her findings will be used to set up a study file at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts at Winston Salem. Her talk will be of interest to many people in our area and we hope that they will show their interest and support to Miss Bolger when she visits Edenton.
