The finish of our second
| annual Peanut Festival
; marks the beginning of our
; third annual Peanut
> Festival, and we can not let
the opportunity slip by
without thanking you and
your staff at The Chowan
Herald for your most
gracious help and support for
the past year. There are
some, that may consider
this as an endurance record
on your part.
There are so many
businesses, organizations,
supporters, and friends that
joined together, to make his
festival successful, that wd
could never begin to name
them individually without
fear of leaving someone out.
We do know, that without
their unselfish support, The
Peanut Festival would not
have made it off the ground,
and we would like to extend
our appreciation for that
support.
We have never been
criticized for being too
perfect, and the festival this
year has been no exception.
However, hopefully, we can
take this criticism and use it
constructively in planning
our third annual Peanut
Festival.
Again, we would like to
thank everyone that join in
to help support the band.
Sincerely,
A1 Everson

Ybu deserve this choice.
Good mtonhons.
Once upon a time, some of King George's
royal governors really pushed the colonists
around. And you've been short-changed,
ever since. After the Revolution, when state
constitutions were being written, people
remembered the crown's wrongs, and
made sure that future governors couldn't
abuse the power of the office. So, in many
states, a governor was barred from serving
more than one term. In N.C., the Assembly
elected the Governor, up till 1835. Then,
you got the vote - and the one-term limit.
It seemed like a good idea, at the time.
But time* change.
As our nation grew, and grew up, the rights
of the voters and of the state legislatures
grew stronger. The task of running a state
government grew more complicated. And
the task of finding really well-qualified
people forlhe job of Governor grew more
and more difficult.
So the «toti changed.

brought It with them to statehood. In 1966,
Oklahoma changed. In 1968, Louisiana
and Missouri. 1970; Florida and
Pennsylvania. West Virginia in 1972, and
just last year, our neighbors in Georgia
passed their amendment. Today, the
voters of 43 of the 50 United States have
this important right.
Herat our chance.
On November Bth, the voters of North
Carolina can vote themselves this right. On
the ballot. Constitutional Amendment #3
empowers the voters to re-elect their
Governors and Lieutenant Governors for
a second term, if they choose to.
A bipartisan effort.
A majority of the N.C. General Assembly
voted to recommend this amendment.
Leading Republicans, Democrats, and
Independents support Its passage. All of
the past five former Governors: Luther H.
Hodges, Terry Sanford. Dan K. Moore,
Robert W. Scott, and James E. Holshouser,
Jr. endorse It. And a recent citizens
committee on constitutional reform urged
this change be made.
Our state suffers from the one-term limit.

New York? Yes, and so are
15 of the 16 states in the
South that make up the “Sun
Belt.”
The enclosed report from
the First National Bank of
Chicago is truly
enlightening. It explodes the
myth that the South is poor
and down-trodden because
its per capita income lags
behind the “affluent North.”
Our per capita income,
relatively low in some
cases, is a source of deep
concern. But for the first

"A Promise of Good, Clean,

Everyone”
Long-range problems like water, energy,
and new Industries and jobs demand
long-range solutions. From short-range
governors. By the time our governors learn
thejob.theirterm is half over. So they can 't
initiate and administer the kind of
farsighted programs that our state needs.
But even just the possibility of re-election
would encourage and allow stronger,
more consistent leadership.
A fairer shore.
The one-term limit shortchanges North
Carolina in other ways. The people who run
the federal programs and who participate
in the regional conferences know full well
that the N.C. governor is an automatic
lame duck. So they pay less attention to our
needs. Squeaking wheels get the grease;
but our governor isn't around long enough
to establish the working relationships or
make the necessary contacls to have the
kind of influence our state deserves.

real key is that the one-term I □ against co.i.iii»iio.»i
limit Is contrary to the
democratic process. It
deprives you of a fundamental right.
If the voters are capable of finding people
good enough to be governor for four
years, they are capable of deciding
whether they want to re-elect them for four
more. To continue a good job. And they
are capable of deciding that the job
wasn't good enough; so they can
choose to reject them after four years.
Either way. you should have the choice.
And Amendment #3 gives It to you.
