Seg. 2 Peewits
Stay Off Table
S. Womack Lee, manager of
Peanut Growers Cooperative
Marketing Association, states
he would like to tell all peanut
farmers and others who are
interested that no Segregation 2
peanuts will be sold for edible
use, but rather will be handled
as follows;
Seg. 2’s have been placed
under loan with PGCMA in the
Virginia-Carolina area since
aflatoxin became a problem. For
the 1974 crop all shellers as well
as PGCMA could buy Seg. 2’s
from the farmer.
Five shellers, two mostly,
bought over 22,000,000 pounds
and PGCMA took in 74,397,921
pounds. PGCMA received a
daily sheet from each shelter
who bought Seg. 2 peanuts from
the farmer. These sheets show
date, MQ-94 number,
segregation, type, pounds
purchased and storage point.
PGCMA checks these peanuts,
supervises them until they are
domestically crushed into oil
and meal or fragmented for
export. There is a complete
accountability.
The Virginia-Carolina
shellers made available on
October 7,8,9,- 1974 seventy
warehouses to PGCMA for the.
storage of freeze damage loan
peanuts. This was excellent
cooperation and great aid to
marketing the 1974 crop. The
Board of Directors of PGCMA
would like to publicly thank
those shellers who furnished
• this., storage.
course, PGCMA will
handle their Seg. 2 peanuts as
they have in the past. They will
be put up on a lot list for sale
and those who buy them will
either have to domestically
crush them into oil and meal or
fragment them and export
them.
Again, you will note that no
Seg. 2 peanuts will return to the
edible trade in the the United
States, Lee stated.

Davis Elected To Head Duke Endowment Trustees
CHARLOTTE—Archie K.
Davis, former chairman of the

of the trustees of The Duke
Endowment at a recent meeting
of The Endowment board,
according to an announcement
Monday by Marshall I. Pickens
Book Selection Important Job
The textbook selection
process is, probably, one of the
most important jobs which
confront administrators of the
Edenton-Chowan School
System. At the same time it is
probably one of the least
understood aspects of North
Carolina education.
Amidst national controversy
and debate about textbook
selection; North Carolina’s
State Textbook Commission
spend thousands of hours of
study and deliberation before
selecting books to be used in Tar
Heel classrooms. Once this
selection is made the Edenton-
Chowan system, and other units
across the state, is faced with
the monumental task of
choosing texts that fit into the
system's individual needs.
In the Fall of 1974, the N. C.
Board of Education adopted
new textbooks for grades 1-8,
ifter selecting a series from
seven different publishing
companies. From this list and
sample copies received in the
system in November, 1974, a
team of seven, trained,
educators it) Edenton-Chowan
Schools chose books and
presented the new materials to
all elementary teachers and
principals within the system.
Heading this team was Donald
Lassiter, director of
Instruction. Other members
included Joyce Cole, ESAA
reading coordinator; John
Guard, principal at White Oak
School; Jake Boyce, classroom
teacher and guidance
counselor at Chowan High;
Elsie Currin, classroom teacher
at White Oak; Lucille Stalls,
classroom teacher at Ernest A.
Swain and Brenda Winborne,
classroom teacher at D. F.
Walker School.
Following numerous
conference sessions and hours
of study and evaluation, each
individual faculty has arrived
at choices for selection. The
new textbooks, which will be
used in local classrooms
beginning in the fall of 1975
continuing through 1980, have
been ordered and are expected
to be delivered to the Edenton-
Chowan Schools by June.
Teachers will be faced with

“Mr. Davis has served as a
vice chairman of The
Endowment since 1972, and he
will be an ideal chairmarilAjS we
now begin in 1975 to move ahead
to the second fifty years of The

said.

Wachovia Bank and Trust

philantropic trusts. Founded in
1924 by the late James B. Duke,
it contributes funds to hospitals
and child care institutions in
North Carolina and South
Carolina, as well as Davidson
College, Duke University,
Furman University, and
Johnson C. Smith University. It
also supports a program in
North Carolina for rural United
Methodist Churches, retired
ministers, and dependent
families of deceased ministers
who have served the United
Methodist Church In North
Carolina.
Drivers Warned
Os New Law
On Vehicles
RALEIGH—During the last
session of the N. C. General
Assembly, a law was enacted
prohibiting the lowering or
elevating, of any passenger
motor vehicle b# more than six
inches from the manufacturer’s
specified height without the
written approval of the
Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles. This new law became
effective January 1.
Col. E. W. Jones, patrol
commander, stated, “This new
law would definitely be an asset
to traffic safety. For one thing,
a vehicle’s center of gravity
plays an important role in its
stability, and when this is
altered by raising or lowering
the vehicle, the danger of losing
its control is substantially
increased especially while
negotiating a curve.”'
Also, he added that elevating
the car unnecessarily exposed
the fuel tank and increased the
possibility of fire or explosion in
a rear end collision. "Lowering
the rear of a car is dangerous
because headlights can blind
oncoming drivers and elevation
of the rear end can deflect
headlight beams,” continued
Col. Jones.
The height of vehicles varies
slightly due to age or
replacement of shock
absorbers and springs, he
pointed out, so troopers will
issue warnings until specific
heights are established.
“Troopers wiH take
enforcement action, however,
ofr flagrant or repeated
violations which endanger life
and property,” concouded the
patrol commander.

juniper preserves stables from
demons and lightning.
The Superintendent Reports
Last week’s column shared
information pertaining to
Project SCORE, a new program
underway at Chowan High
School for improving reading
and language arts through
studying various occupations.
This week’s column is geared to
the examination of a program
at Swain School.
Through the auspices of a
grant under Title 111 of the
ElementarF-'and Secondary
Education Act (a federal
program for supplementary
educational services), teachers
are striving deligently to
promote - among students,
through enhanced self-image,
improved performance in
language arts, and cultural
arts.
Through staff meetings with
John Schroeder, director of
educational media, Ralph Cole,
principal, and university and
State Department of Public
Instruction consultants, the
faculty at Swain Schools has
worked to plan and implement
meaningful educational
activities for their pupils.
Although total
implementation of the program
has been hampered by the fact
that some of the equipment has
not arrived, and that planning
for teachers is at a premium,
many exciting things are
already happening. Viewing of
Instructional Television
programs in the cultural arts is
one major thrust of the program
being used.
However, pupils will not just
view the programs as a typical
television program. These
programs will be video
recorded and played back when
instructionally appropriate.
Through this approach, pre
program introductory
classroom activities can
undertaken by teachers. Os
equal importance teachers will
have time to plan exciting and
vibrant follow up activities. In
addition, community volunteers
can be utilized as appropriate to
the television program.
An exciting feature for pupils is
that they will have an
opportunity to improve their
language arts skills - grammar,
creative written and oral
expression, word usage and
punctuation, among these,
through writing, directing, and
evaluating these scripts for
actual use in producing, in the
classroom, their own television
programs. Thus, pupils will be
able to use in a meaningful way
their language arts skills in
preparing, producing, and
mußic„
ana drama experiences.
Since pupils are blessed by

living in a community rich in
heritage, full of pre
revolutionary and other
historical monuments, and as
the program evolves in scope,
utilization will be made of these
resources. Community persons
knowledgeable of these periods
will serve as resource persons.
The key to the success of any
undertaking is, of course, the
dedication of those involved in
it. The following teachers have
given over and beyond the call
of duty in planning this on-going
program are:
Ralph V. Cole, principal;

Hattie J. Jerkins.
Color television sets are, at
last, being installed for use in
the project. Some youngsters
will be able to see themselves in
actual performance.
It is the feeling of those
involved with the project that
this program will have not only
an impact on improved
language arts performance, but
also pupil appreciation and
knowledge of art, music, dance
and drama.
