And these figures don't remotely touch cases where robbery victims suffered serious injury in assaults during holdups,’’ Morgan said. SBI reports describe the 26 victims as follows: —white males—lß; females— -3; black males—4; females—l. s average age: 48 years. 1 crime locations: grocery e stores—B; service station—l; s restaurants—l: residences— 8; ( v alleys, cars, and elsewhere—B. t —time crimes occurred: noon - to 6 P.M.—5; 6 P.M. to midnight—l 2; midnight to 6 ti A.M.—9; 6 A.M. to noon—o. f Thirty-five suspects have i been interviewed in these - robbery-homicides.

Six of the cases y have no suspects, o Suspects questioned were: e —wh'ite males—l7: females— s 1: black men—l 6: females—l. e —average age: 22 years. weapons included: firearms—l 9; knives—3; other—6. Most frequently used firearm was the .38 caliber pistol. Second was the .22 caliber pistol, . Cash was most often demanded. Currency taken in the 26 cases totaled $6,094.39. Checks totaling $1,500 were also taken. Other stolon items were televisions, firearms, watches, and vehicles. In three cases, nothing was taken. Morgan said various steps should be taken to reduce the number of deaths dpring robbery attempts: All employees, fulltime and parttime, should be told how the management wants them to respond to a robbery attempt. Clerks should not resist demands by the robber for money or merchandise. Follow all instructions given by the potential thief. Don't argue with the robber. Carefully observe the robber. Watch for movements, the color and type of clothing worn, physical' appearance, the type weapon used, and the make, model and color of vehicles used. As soon as it is safe, notify authorities. Then, write down as many facts concerning the robbery as you can recall. Keep your notes of the incident for use later as a witness in court. Don't grab a weapon to defend yourself. This may force the robber to fire on you. He could have experience using a gun: you probably don’t. The robber may also attempt to disarm you. forcing you to act. or lose the weapon to him. “We're determined to reduce the number of lives taken when some desperate person feels compelled to get money at all costs.” the atty. gen. said. "The value placeed on life by these people in these 26 cases is less the $235 each. This has got to stop."- ON DEAN'S I.IST Robert LT Brooks. Jr., df Edenton is on the dean's list for the fall quarter at Holding Technical Institute in Raleigh. His major is electrical installation and maintenance. Edenton, North Carolina, Thursday. December 27, 1973 Social Security Administration News , By DONAI.DS. MORRIS , Field Representative Today,over 32-million women are building social security protection for themselves and their families through their work. The working woman has both disability and survivors protection. If she becomes unable to work for a year or longer because of a disabling accident or severe illness, she and her dependents may be eligible for monthly cash payments from social security. If she dies prematurely, monthly cash payments from social security can help her children through school —until they're 22. if they remain full time students and unmarried. Even though her husband may be working at a full time job, her children are still eligible for benefits on her work record. On her own work record, the working woman can retire at 62 with reduced monthly cash payments. Or she can wait until she’s 65 and get full monthly cash benefits. Women need to know about the social security program and how it affects them and their families. Additional information may be requested from any Social Security office. Gift Project Big Success Recently the Albemarle Mental Health Center and a host of dedicated and hard working volunteers from throughout the Albemarle Area concluded Opereiion Santa Claus. This was a drive to solicit gifts for all those patients from this area who ore hospitalized at Cherry Hospital. Caswell Center, and the W. B. Jones Alcoholic Rehabilitation Center. The response of individuals, clubs, and civic groups from throughout the area was fantastic. On December 7 a truckload of gifts and almost $250 in cash was carried to three institutions which will enable every patient from the entire area to receive a personal Christmas gift this year. The Albemarle Mental Health Center would like to thank all of the individuals and clubs who helped make this possible. Special thanks to overall volunteer-chairmen, Mrs. Karl Miller of Elizabeth City: Mrs. Francis Hollowell, Chowan Academy Student Council, and Mrs. Jack Harris of Chowan County; Mrs. Ellie Mae Vickers, Mrs. Keith Haskett, and Mrs. Marian Swindell of Perquimans County; Mrs. Russell E. Davis and the Home Demonstration Clubs of Currituck County; and Mark Adylett. the Manteo Lions Club, and the United Methodist Women of Dare County. Also, a special thanks goes to many others that are too ■ numerous to mention. Immediate 525,000 estate. Low, level premiui*. Flexible, fast-building cash values. Retirement income.

SANDERS Director Pettitrew Regional Library HOOTS CIVIC AFFAIRS One of the interesting aspects of a librarian's job is the opportunity to participate in community activities at many levels. Since I enjoy meeting people and since I believe wholeheartedly in cooperative efforts. I welcome every chance to extend the scope of the regional library by working with other civic organizations. Thus it was with pleasure that I accepted nomination as the fine Arts Chairman of the Albemarle Area Development Association (AADA). The AADA is one of the oldest regional organizations of its kind in the state and its boundaries were used by Governor Bob Scott in his division of the state into 17 planning regions in 1970. Composed of ten counties in the northeastern corner of the state, it has a long history of service to this area. Jeffrey Dick, who is affiliated with the Weyerhaeuser Co. in Plymouth, was elected to the presidency of the organization on the same slate with me (we were unopposed, I might add) - all the other officers and chairmen are from other counties, I believe. The rain was coming down in sheets the night we wees to Elizabeth City for the bahquet and the election but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the large crowd who came to hear "Big Jim” Graham. I look forward to a year of service to the community and a widening of my acquaintanceship with leaders in this area.

The 1 beginning of a New Year \ seems a good time to restate our 1 philosophy on reserving books 1 and on borrowing books from other libraries. When several people have asked to reserve a popular book, every effort is made to follow the order in which the requests were made but also to keep the book in circulation. Thus, if the first person called fails to pick up the book within three days or if we are unable to reach the first person on the list, we try the next one and go back to the first one later. What could be fairer than that? The situation with a borrowed book is slightly different we are limited by the rules of the 1 lending library as these apply to the length of time the book may be kept and where it may be used (some are restricted to use \ in the library). Since we are liable to lose the privilege of 1 interlibrary borrowing if we do J not adhere to the restrictions. 1 we are extra fussy with the 1 books from other libraries ] which should be under- ( standable.
