THE CHOWAN HERALD , Section B Legislative Package Aimed At Crime GREENSBORO-A strong crime control package, consisting of eight bills, was submitted last week to the leadership of the legislative by Atty. Gen. Rufus Edmisten. It is expected to check widespread growth of crime, including organized crime, in the state. The package include proposed creation of a statewide grand jury to investigate organized criminal activity as well as suspected corruption of law enforcement officers and other government employees. Edmisten said, “Something has to be done to help us protect our citizens and see that justice ( Six Attend -Workshop GREENVILLE—Staff mem bers of the Albemarle- Chowan Child Development Center at Chowan High School were among some 50 people involved in a three-session workshop on language development and disorders at East Carolina University here.

Other legislative proposals call for: -New statutory authority aimed at organized crime which would prohibit organizing or participating in a criminal syndicate or any of its activites: -Stronger penalites for larceny of firearms: -Tightening up of the states gambling and lottery laws, with special emphasis on athletic events; -Granting the attorney general authority to call conferences of district attorneys, sheriffs, and police chiefs-activities, and develop more efficienty and effective performance -Raising the minimum salaries of law enforcement officers throughout North Carolina from $6,000 to $7,500. Two additional parts of the package, Edmisten said, would aid officers between the time of arrest and trial. The first would make it a misdemeanor for a person to give false state ments or give a false name to an officer in the course of a criminal investigation. The second wou}d amend the law relating to evidence tampering. The amendment would make it a separate offense for a person to break into a building where evidence ia stored with intent or purpose of altering, destroying or stealing physical or documentary evidence relevant to a criminal offense.

Grimm will join teams of scientists from numerous international organizations and universities in project SCORE (Scientific Cooperative Operational Research Expedition). The operation is 'funded by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Perry Foundation and the Harbour Branch Foundation. Dr. Hopkins is married to the former Betsy Duncan of Edenton. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar E. Duncan. Utilizing advanced underwater technology with divers living in a habitat on the sea bed for up to five days at a stretch, the scientist will identify and document the most important factors in a reef ecosystem. It is hoped that this knowledge will provide an early-warning system to monitor and assess man’s impact on the oceans. The Bahamas Banks Research Program, established in 1971, is headquartered in Freeport, Grand Bahamas. The SCORE project will be directed by veteran diver Bob Wicklund, director of the Perry Foundation’s Hydro-Lab operation in Freeport. “The central features of the project will be the use of the Perry Hydro-Lab underwater habitat and a submersible known as the Johnson Sea-Link to study the vertical wall that forms the edge of the continental shelf,” Wicklund said “Just off Freeport- Lucaya, the wall drops off sheet to a depth of 3,000 feet, the Sea- Link will allow us to study the edge of the dropoff down to 250 feet so that we can collect information on reef structure and function comparable to what we now know about shallower areas.” The Hydro-Lab is stationed in 60 feet of water. Divers will live there and use a small wet-sub to ferry them to the Sub-Igloo, a small pressurized acrylic dome, on the edge of the wall with divers undertaking lock-out missions to a depth of 250 feet. Dr. Hopkins will concentrate his study on soft corals and the nocturnal behavior of basket stars. The reef's basket stars are important as indicators of pollution, according to Hopkins “The basket stars as easy to study and assay because we already know that they follow a certain prescribed schedule and are filter feeders,” Hopkins said. “We can sample the environment at certain times during each day. record the results and therefore determine the content of the surrounding marine environment with a high degree of reliability.” Artists Invited To Happening The Friends of the Edgecombe County Memorial Library and the Tarboro Recreation Department cordially invite local artists and craftsmen to exhibit at the Fourth Annual Happening on the Common, May 18 from 2:30 P. M. to 5:30 P.M. at the Tarboro Town Common. The setting for the show is one of the lovliest and oldest public parks in the state, and the entertainment and refreshments draw crowds from Tarboro and surrounding communities for the festival. Exhibitors are urged to register in advance by contacting the Edgecombe County Memorial Library in Tarboro, 27886. Those who can’t draw a straight line or sew a straight seam or pound a straight nail are invited to come anyway, bring a chair or a blanket to sit on, to enjoy a relaxed, old-fashioned afternoon under the trees. An executive is one who cannot work unless he has assistants. TAYLOR THEATRE EDENTON, N. C. NOW - THRU - SAT. The Incredible But True Story of the Most Spectacular STARRING ROBERT * Fri. A Set.
