one grant at the beginning of the
school year to use for staff
development activities. State
approval and subsequent
approval by our local board
creates an agreement between
the two parties that the school
administrative unit will carry
out the plan as approved and
may' do so without any further
State approval,” says Dr. West.
“Before submitting our
proposal, we made a careful
assessment of our instructional
needs and planned activities
designed to meet those needs.
We included a variety of on-the
job training activities and
continuing education programs
to assist teachers and other
school personnel in securing
necessary skills,” says West.
“Our plan also includes
provisions for college credit
work as a means of earning
renewal credit and upgrading
certificates and degrees," he
added.
“We are delighted at the
approval of our Plan II
proposal.” says Dr. West. “It
will mean a greater variety of
staff development activities
more closely related to the day
to-day needs of our teachers in
the classroom.”

THE CHOWAN HERALD
Pesticide Storage Care Is Urged
By C. W. Overman j
j
Most vegetable garden, i
flower garden, shrub and tree
pesticides are poisonous or I
toxic. They have to be to control i
the bugs, worms and scales that '
attack our plants. <
Periodic applications of
pesticides are necessary to
control pests that attack our
plants if they are to grow, be
pretty and be edible as the case
may be.
Home gardeners will
necessarily have a quantity of
pesticides to keep over for
future applications. Storage
area for this purpose is
necessary. Such storage must
be safe from children. Just
using a shelf that children can
get to is dangerous. The storage
place should be cool and dry. By
all means keep it locked.
Rate of application is very
important. So many people
often tend to follow the practice,
“If an ounce is good two ounces
is better”. There are some
instances when a slight increase
in application may be needed,
but, first try it on a few plants, if
no damage occurs and it does a
better job you will know.
Read the label carefully
before applying each time.
Follow the instructions. If the
label does not indicate for use
on the plants you desire it for,
don’t use it or only try it
cautiously. There are
different plants the pesticide
manufacturer can’t list them
Letter To
The Editor
Dear Mayor Byrum:
I am attaching my check
and enclosing the bill stub, in
payment of electric and water
charges based on a meter
reading of July 5, 1973.
I want you to know that I am
paying these charges under
protest, because the charges for
electricity are unreasonable
and the basis of the computation
of these charges discriminate
against residential customers.
Upon visiting the billing office
in the Municipal Building and
inquiring about the charges, I
was handed a printed statement
addressed “To our Residential
Customers”, not dated, and
presumably prepared by James
D. Martin, Supt., Electric &
Water Department. Along with
the statement, I was also
handed a sheet entitled “TOWN
OF EDENTON, NEW
ELECTRIC RATES JUNE,
“"MMT
Traditionally, electric rates
are arranged in brackets of
usage so that each higher
bracket of usage is at a lower
rate per KWH. In the new
electric rates this is true for the
winter (Nov. - June) rate
schedule for residential and for
both the winter and summer
(July - Oct.) rate schedule
applying to small commercial.
The rate schedule for large
commercial is the same for
winter and summer. However,
the rate schedule for summer
residential shows an increase
and each KWH over 600 KWH
usage compared to the
immediately preceding
bracket. This letter is the point
of discrimination.
Mr. Martin makes two points
of interest. First, the Town of
Edenton adopted the rates
charged VEPCO retail
customers. I submit that just
because VEPCO reportedly
discriminates against its
residential customers that does
not constitute a valid reason for
the Town of Edenton to do
likewise. Second, Mr. Martin
states that the cost of power
varies seasonally. I submit that
a KWH of power purchased on a
wholesale basis can in no way
know whether it will be
delivered to a residence, a
small business concern, or a
large business establishment.
Your reconsideration of this
matter of rates will be greatly
appreciated, and I respectfully
request that I be informed of the
results.
Yours truly,
William N. Michal

all. Usually plants in the same
species and family have similar
resistance.
Dusts are made to dust by
forced air. At least a simple,
inexpensive hand duster is
worth having. Clean it after
each application and it will last
a long time. For spraying,
perhaps the simplest unit is that
which operates on a water hose
with the water pressure. If
instructions are followed it will
do a good job. The most
inefficient and may be the most
damaging application is
sprinkling and shaking through
a cloth.
Remember, pesticides are
necessary, they are safe when
used properly, and they are safe
when stored properly. It is
better to be safe then sorry.
