tapestries and other craft
work was assembled
through a series of eight
juried competitions held in
the state last year by R.J.
Reynolds Industries, Inc.
This is the only scheduled
showing of the entire exhibit
outside the RJR World
Headquarters where the
exhibit opened in February.
Two of Hartley’s pain
tings, “Blue Parrot
Billboard” and “Sir Peter
Paul Rubens” were chosen
for purchase awards by a
panel of four jurors which
judged all the competitions.
Hartley, an art instructor
at East Carolina University,
has had work exhibited in
galleries in several states.
He has won awards at many
of the juried shows he has
entered.
Hie 34-year-old artist was
studying engineering at
Georgia Tech when he
decided to switch Adds and
transferred to North Texas
State Univarsity where he
studied art.
The geometric designs in
“Blue Parrot Billboard,” a
water color and ink collage
of Humphrey Bogart and
scenes from the movies
“Casablanca,” reflect his
technical background.
The various lines and
shapes add an element of
complexity to the work,
Hartley explains. “People
respond to complex things
such as nature. You can’t
see every twist and every
mark in trees. In the same
way, I like to make things so
complex that you can’t see
all of the work at once,” he
says.
He earned a masters of
fine arts degree from East
Carolina University, where
he taught art from 1970 to
1973. After devoting two
years solely to painting,
Hartley returned to East
Carolina and now teaches
art at all levels from
freshmen classes to
graduate students.
Hartley’s work was en
tered in the Greenville
competition. Exhibitions
were also held last fall in
Asheville, Beaufort, Boone,
Charlotte, Durham,
Wilmington and Winston-
Salem.
Over 4,000 entries were
received and judged by four
jurors: Moussa M. Domit,
director of the North
Carolina Museum of Art,
Raleigh; Lida Lowrey,
director of Piedmont
Craftsman, Inc., Winston-
Salem; Ted Potter, director

Diet Essentials
Everyone needs proteins,
carbohydrates, fats,
vitamins and minerals in
the daily diet. Without them,
the body can’t function
efficiently and health may
be endangered.
A pamphlet of the
American Medical
Association points out that
the secret to a successful
reducing diet is not a
dramatic shake-up in your
eating habits it’s just a
little bit less of everything.
Os course, if you want to
lose weight, there are some
extravagances you can’t
afford, like whipped cream
topped chocolate double-dip
sundaes. Discretion and
common sense is the better
part of dieting.
You’re more likely to stick
to your diet if you balance
and vary the menus. Select
foods from the four broad
categories of (1) the milk
group—milk, cheese, and
ice cream (2) the meat
group—beef, veal, lamb,
pork, poultry, eggs and fish
(3) the vegetable-fruit
group—fruit and vegetables
rich in Vitamins A and C (4)
the bread-cereal group
whole grain, enriched or
restored.
Special low calorie foods
can be helpful. They will
give a bit more food with
fewer calories. Exercise is
of value while dieting
because it tones up your
muscles and tissues and
helps burn your stored
calories. You can exercise
in a reducing salon, at the Y
or at home. Beware,
however, of over exertion.

Around The Old Well
By Charles Babington
CHAPEL HILL
California’s recent vote to
limit property taxes to 1 per
cent may be a landmark
decision in ushering in a
national “politics of scar
city,” said a political
scientist at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel
Hill.
Other states may not take
actions as drastic as
California’s, which will cost
the state at least $7-billion in
revenues, said Dr. Thad L.
Beyle, professor of political
science. But Californians
probably are representative
of many taxpayers
throughout the nation who
are saying, “we’ve been
taxed too high, and we’re
going to put a limit on it.”
This sentiment will lead to
hard times for certain
programs, employees and
welfare recipients, Beyle
said.
Another group headed for
hard times is politicians, he
said. “They’re going to have
to make some very tough
decisions. They’re going to
have to look constituents in
the eye and say ‘there isn’t
enough money for that’.”
Limiting local taxes will
necessitate cutting back on
what many middle class
Americans consider frills,
he said. Frills may include
publicly supported health
clinics, welfare, funds for
abortions, youth job
programs and public school
extracurricular activities
such as athletics, music and
drama.
Under the politics of
scarcity, Beyle said,
communties will be able to
fund little more than what
most people consider the
essentials: traditional
courses in public schools,
and basic services such as
police and fire protection
and garbage collection.
Sudden cuts in govern
ment spending are likely to
cause confusion and anger.
“I expect chaos for a while
in California,” he said. “The
people’s frustration over
high taxes was un
derstandable, but their
solution was togo at it with, a
meat ax.”
CARD OF THANKS
I would like to say “thank
you” for all the many ex
pressions of love and kind
ness shown to my family
and me during my recent
stay in Chowan Hospital,
and during my con
valescence at home. For all
the cards, visits, flowers,
gifts, food and prayers, I am
grateful.
A special thanks goes to
the staff of Chowan Hospital
who made my stay there
more pleasant.
My family and I will
always appreciate and
remember the love and
concern shown in the actions
of our friends. May God
bless each of you.
Sincerely,
Margaret P. Bass
chg.
THANKS A MILLION

Resource Center would like
to express their thanks to
the farmers in this area who
contributed vegetables to
the Resource Center so that
vegetable baskets could be
given to Senior Citizens and
underpriviledged families.

Tax cuts actually cost
states more than the amount
of taxes forgone. For many
projects, state and local
government can apply for
federal matching funds of
100 per cent or more. With
less money to be matched, a
state’s revenue loss is
multiplied.
Although tax revolt seems
to be spreading to [daces
other than California, Beyle
said, he agrees with other
observers that publicly
initiated tax cuts are not
likely in North Carolina.
Property taxes are much
lower here, he said, and
property value is assessed
less frequently than in
Califoria.
Conditions leading to tax
revolt began at least as
early as the 19605, he said,
when state and local
governments rapidly in
creased taxes and spending.
The came the recession
coupled with high inflation
in the fall of 1974.
Government revenues
dropped because the
recession discouraged
spending, thus bringing in
less sales tax, and because
high unemployment
resulted in less income tax.
At the same time, however,
the cost of government, like
everything else, climbed
because of inflation. “State
and local governments were
caught in a scissors between
higher expenditures and
lower revenues,” he said.
No Shrimp This Year
Commercial fisherman
Jimmy Cain, Wilmington, is
having trouble making a
living this summer.
He should be catching
shrimp, but there aren’t
enough. “No shrimp this
year,” he said, “so the only
thing we have going is
crabs.”
So instead of changing
over to shrimp, he continues
to set a string of crab pots.
Last month, however,
someone stole 23 of his pots.
The pots were not taken all
at once. Cain said
recreational boaters wouud
pick up one from time to
time. “An average person
does not think he is hurting
you by taking one pot.”
Those 25 pots cost him about
$250.
Some boaters will stop
and take crabs from a pot.

Jerry Brown of California
and Michael Dukakis of
Massachusetts were two of
the first governors to call for
changes required in a new
era of scarcity. Although
they are liberal Democrats
in most repsects, Brown and
Dukakis have spoken out for
fiscal restraints and limits
to the demands made on
government.
Other politicians now are
saying the same things,
Beyle said. But they may
find that keeping their
constituents happy, and
winning re-elections, will be
increasingly difficult in the
next few years, he said.
The relatively free
spending governments of
the 1960 s and 70s have raised
citizens’ expectations, he
said. When various
programs are cut out, those
who benefited from them
are likely to lash out against
those in office.
On the other hand, he said,
“the bureaucrats and
politicians may end up
playing a bit of politics over
this tax-cut issue. They may
cut back on certain needed
services, such as fire and
police protection, and on
frills that everyone will
react to, such as high school
athletics. Thus they would
beat the taxpayer over the
head with his own tax cut,
trying to build support for
more expenditures and
revenues.”
Cain will not miss the take
from one or two pots, but 20
people doing it definitely
means less money in his
pocket.
Pot thieves break the law.
It is unlawful to take a pot,
or any fish, crab, or shells
from one, and those caught
will be charged with a
misdemeanor.
Pot thieves caught by a
fisherman could be in serious
trouble. Playing games with
a man out there trying to
make a living will suddenly
quit being a game if he
catches you.
Cain works between
Carolina Inlet and
Masonboro Inlet. The
problem also has been
reported recently in the
Cape Fear River.
