In \*m than an hour we wen put. through the paces by trained professional personnel who leave you with the feeling that you are hot just another number, tx* a human being. Howard Campbell, district health director, ha»put together a public service program whldi we hope is operational in the other six counties of the Albemarle Area. If they all work as smoothly as the one along the Public Parade then better health can become away of life. The only charge is |2 for the chest x-ray. All the other tests are free of .n charge, with a comprehensive report being Jorwarded to the family physician. Ithen it is between, you and him. The clildc is held the second Monday of each month and appointments are requested in order that things can move at a steady flow. When you leave you don’t fed you have been rushed through a 61 physical nor taken to the cleaners at the check-out desk. This is die type program that will aid in changing the image of public health along the Public Parade and throughout the state, and nation. And while there is a lot of change needed we are pleased to learn first hand that it is beginning in Chowan County.

No Voting Problem* Chowan County voters, faced the automatic voting machines for the first time last Tuesday. Reports from throughout the county indicate there were no hitches. The fact that everything went so smoothly is a credit to the Chowan County Board of Elections and its executive director. , The dectkms board recently asked the county commissioners to name two men to take special in the setting-up and operation of the machines. They chose Deputies Glenn Perry and Melvin Evans. Instead of serving summons’ and chasing dogs, respectively, they learned the important operations of the machines and all went well. If things can go smoothly when 28 per cent of the electorate bother to go to the polls, with voting machines it is not imcommon to be - lieve that the same will be true in a spirited local election where many more take the trouble to vote. Those who had thought there would be some drastic changes in voting procedures, etc., when the GOP gained control, can now rest assured that honest, efficient elections are the rule, not the ttception along the Public Parade. Ms.. Byron Kebayes, and company, are to be commended for the manner in which everything went. Actually, teem wasn’t the first request for are-count. And if teem had been all they would have had tandowas read else, can be practical in the small counties as woB ps tee most populous ones.

He compared the importance of agricultural products with oil from Arabia. “We must put emphasis on agriculture...we must use prime agriculture land for agricultural purposes and assure the land owners that they get a fair price for their products,” he went on. Earlier he noted that there is a new importance on those in agriculutre to be sharp traders and ‘Took out for ourselves first” in a world of food shortage. Lt. Gov. Hunt, the son of a retired Soil Conservation Service employee said in the early days you could wear out the land and move on. “This unwise practice, as the nation became more populated, alerted the concern of the people.” “When the chips are down the people of America responds,” he continued. “Today we face a crisis which people will respond to if they are shown the right direction.
