Chairman of Chowan County Board of Elections

the summer volleyball
camp. Freshmen winning

McKay of Chesapeake, Va.;
Christy Johnson of Hamp
tonville; Georgia Ross of
Charlotte; and Erin Spencer
of Sumter, S.C. McKay, who
will probably be a setter,
played volleyball two years
at Indian River High School.
She was most valuable
player both seasons.
Johnson, a freshman
hitter from Hamptonville,
played volleyball four years
at Starmount High School in
Boonville. She was all
conference the past two,
seasons and most valuable
player in her high school
tournament.
Georgia Ross of Charlotte
also played four years at
Harting High School. She
was all conference as a
sophomore.
Erin Spencer of Sumter,
accomplishing a difficult
task under adverse con
ditions.
The Chowan County
commissioners are to be
commended for allowing the
people to set the course for
the path they and the Board
of Education are to pursue
to provide equal and quality
education for all the young
people of Chowan County.
The voters have said
upgrade, remodel and ex
pand our present facilities.
To accomplish these dic
tates will take dedicated and
S.C., started for Sumter
High School last year as a
setter in her first year of
competition.
Mrs. Collins, who is in her
12th season as the team’s
coach, said this year’s club
has “good potential.” She
noted, “They express great
dedication and work very
well together.”
The Lady Braves’ coach is
hoping this year’s team can
improve on the third place
playoff finish of the past
three years. She believes
Chowan has “a very good
chance to improve” because
of the ability and strength
displayed by the team. The
other freshmen players are:
Earlyne Collette of
Durham; Brenda Harrison
of Hatteras; Donna Hudson
of Portsmouth, Va.; Diana
Sophocleus of Baltimore,
Md.; Cathie Lynne Pickens
of Dover, Del.; and Susan
Whalen of Virginia Beach,
Va.
extensive planning with the
assistance of professional
architects and contractors.
This planning will cost
many thousands of dollars
and should be budgeted at
the earliest opportunity.
Upgrading, remodeling
and expanding present
facilities to provide
adequate education for all
our young people will take
many hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The
people have spoken and this
is the alternative they have
chosen even if another
and more costly bond
referendum is needed.
It is imperative that those
who have said there is a
better and cheaper method
step forward with their
ideas and share them with
those who desire to have a
progressive and positive
educational system in
Chowan County. The Board
of Education has demon
strated that they have open
minds and will listen and
investigate all possibilities.

Tynch Heads Campaign
Mrs. Murray Tynch has
been named Mental Health
Bellringer chairperson for
the October campaign,
announced Ludie H. White,
president of the Mental
Health Association in North
Carolina.
“The Mental Health
Association is the largest
citizens’ voluntary ad
vocacy organization in the
United Statfes fighting
mental illness and
promoting mental health,”
said Mrs. White.
Since the organization is
non-profit and non
governmental, its entire
support must come from
contributions such as those
to be collected in October.
The original and con
tinuing purposes of the
Association are to:
- improve attitudes
toward mental illness and
the mentally ill through
public education;
- improve services for
Page 3-C
the mentally ill; and
- work for the prevention
of mental and emotional
illness and the promotion of
mental health.
Through the social action
and public education
programs the association
helps to assure that ap
propriate funds are
available to support public
mental health services in
North Carolina, and that
laws are passed to protect
the rights of the mentally ill
person to humane and
dignified treatment.
