U«.J -Bf Buff Well, all of the Christinas decorations have now disap peared, many gifts have, no doubt, been exchanged, so that there’s (like they advertise about prices these days) ONLY 356 days until Christmas. o And now with Christmas over, maybe the Yuletide love will be somewhat on the decline, which reminds me of a little l poem found at the house the : other day. Here ’tis: : Love is needed id 1 the spring time : When we’re close to mother’s I arms, ' It is then we learn the essence Os life’s most endearing charms. It is needed all through child hood : To guide us along the way. • Nothing is so warm and tender • As the feel of love’s bouquet, ; Love is needed as we’re growing i Into man or womanhood. \ It’s the miracle of gladness : And the greatest force for good ' Throughout the middle age we need it To bring comfort to our hearts, But sometimes we let it wander Far away to distant parts. Love is more than gold or silver It is truly beyond cost, If you doubt what I have written Ask someone who’s loved and lost. From life's start up to its end ing Love has power to enthrall But as we approach life’s winter Love is needed most of all. o Bill Cozart has added another cigar to my Christmas collection of cigars. And it’s all because he is now a grandpappy. His son, Billy and wife Carol pre sented him with a granddaugh ter who was born December 19 in a Lynchburg, Va., hospital. Bill was smiles from ear to ear when he poked out a cigar and though the gray is becoming more noticeable on the top of his dome, he seemed to be as happy and excited as a youngs ter on Christmas morning after hearing that he was a grand pappy for the first time. o With the cost of mailing no tices going sky high like just about everything else these days, would that more Chowan Herald subscribers were like I. H. Spruill, who lives in Titus ville, Florida. In a brief note Mr. Spruill wrote: “My renewal subscription is about due. I do not want to be delinquent. Enclosed herewith is a money order in the amount of $6.00 for delightful reading during the new year. Happy and prosperous new year to all.” o Apparently stealing bicycles is becoming a favorite “sport” lately, and it appears that lock ing with a chain is not much of a hindrance. The latest victim is Luke Amburn, whose locked bike was stolen at school the other day. It’s bad enough to lose a bicycle but it’s doubly worse for Luke because he has a morning newspaper route, and to make it even more worse is that Luke had to get his daddy out of bed much earlier than usual in order to drive him over his paper route. Bond Issue Continued from Page 1 following day at Chowan High School. The seminars focus on the concerns of parents in respect to the education of their children. The main theme for this month will be coping with teenagers. The schools will seek permission from the Division of Compensatory Education to include 4 year olds in the ESEA Title 1 program, to take the place of Title I kindergarten program which was replaced by the State Kindergarten Program. If the {dan succeeds, the program may serve as a pilot for the state, reported Cecil Fry, assistant superintendent. Thursday, January 9, 1975 The Chowan Herald •OX 2*7, EDENTON, N.

This can very easily be considered an added penalty for someone who knows he is guilty, wants to put himself at the mercy of the presiding judge, wants to pay his fine and costs, but wants also to be given consideration for a portion of the law to which he is entitled. The judge must question the defendant to determine if he is eligible for consideration of the restricted license. In so doing he extracts most of the information required to go on the form. Then why is it necessary for an attor ney to dictate this to a secretary at an added cost to the defendant? If a defendant is placed on probation he doesn’t have to track down a lawyer to draw up the judgment. This is done by the probation officer. There is little reason, then, why paid legal aid is necessary to fill in the blanks of a less complicated court form. Working In The Lobby Rep. Vernon James said here Monday that he doesn’t remember a single time when a lobby influenced his vote in the General Assembly. On the other hand, he finds them helpful in obtaining information needed to arrive at a decision on which way to vote. Unfortunately, many pressure groups influence a considerable amount of special interest legislation and every legislator might not be as strong-willed as the gentleman from the Isle of Pasquotank. A Chowan County commissioner spoke out Monday against people on the public payroll forming associations to employ personnel to influence legislation. What he didn’t mention, however, is that Chowan County belongs to an association that is just as active in the legislative halls as those of any other group. What the elected officials have is probably the only two-headed lobby in the General Assembly. Now more than ever the county association and the N. C. League of Municipalities are finding themselves agreeing on legislation and give it to the legislators with both barrels. In this respect, when elected officials talk about consolidation for effectiveness and efficiency, they would do well to look at their own house. By combining the N. C.- League of Municipalities and N. C. Association of County Commissioners the case of elective officials could be more accurately presented and heard. There is, however, a lobby functioning in the state that probably will never be equaled. It is the N. C. Association of Educators. The association operates on a $1.5-million budget and their effectiveness in the General Assembly speaks for itself. In our opinion, however, the association took a giant step in the wrong direction when the Political Action Committee for Education was formed. PACE has a representative local unit in each city and county in Tar Heelia, trying to drum up candidates and elect candidates who are more in sympathy wjth their cause. Hie PACE activity has caused E. B. Palmer, state coordinator, to remark: “Teacher power in politics is picking up momentus and will be more influential in the future in aiding the local systems, the state and the nation in being sure to have effective and non corrupt politicians.” , What is needed are elected officials at all levels of government who are objective, who lean on any lobby for information, but who won’t sell their soul at the meeting room door to any pressure group-save the electorate. Nothing in a democracy will replace the ballot box where John Q. Citizen has the opportwity to pass judgment on the performance of an incßvidual. This is the only true lobby.

PROGRAM ENDS—The 1973 REAP Program dosed at the end of December and local farmers were busy installing drainage practices probably for the last time with federal cost sharing assistance. With six inch plastic drain tile costing around 70 cents per running foot any cost sharing incentive was greatly appreciated. But, unless there is a change in governmental policy it is unlikely that drainage measures for on-the-farm improvements will be included in any 1975 agricultural program Here, William Roberts, center, is shown getting the last of his three planned tile systems installed on his farm in the Greenhall section. He has commented several times about the benefits received from the systems he installed in 1969 and 1972. New Year Baby Girl Is Born A Washington County couple are the proud parents of the first baby bom in Chowan Hospital in 1975. Powell Bill Continued from Page 1 which can never meet state standards.” Rep. James, and later Rep. Stanford White, said they felt numerous other counties would follow the lead if Chowan seeks local legislation to aid in the matter. Commissioner George also told the legislators he objected to various public agencies forming associations to lobby for self purpose legislation. Commissioner David Bateman was critical of the current method of funding higher education. He said agricultural research “folks are being greatly hindered by the existing procedure” which calls for a unified budget to be presented for 16 campuses by the Board of Governors. Both legislators said they stand ready to “try to do anything you want done,” as Rep. James put it. Rep. White said he is interested in getting as much for Northeastern North Carolina as possible from the General Assembly. “I stand ready to serve you just as readily as if I resided here in Chowan County,” the Manns Harbor businessman stated. Rep. White said he is confident there will be considerable discussion in the 1975 session over money. “But I feel money will be available to meet the needs of the people,” he added. “We have to cut the fat out but the needs can be met.” Board Faces Continued from Page 1 water system. He also reported that the volunteer program to rid the county of junk automobiles was not working. Commissioners agreed to seek an alternate program since only 37 vehicles had been picked up in the past year. Sheriff Troy Toppin was authorized to advertise for bids on a surplus vehicle in his department. Commissioner Elmore said in discussing law throughout the region he had heard it said that Chowan County has the finest department in the Albemarle. “I fed sure the county is willing to provide money to keep it that way,” he said. W. H. Roberts was appointed to the board of North Carolina Rural Fund For Development and Ashley was named energy coordinator. Steve Chaffin of the Elizabeth City office of N. C. Department of Natural and Economic Resources, reported that a planner would soon be assigned to Chowan County on a full-time basis to assist the planning board in developing a land-use plan which is in compliance with the new Coastal Resource Management guide lines.

C.
