The same approach could be possible along the Public Parade with regards to local government. Less that a year ago, Chowan County adopted the manager form of government. Long before, the Town of Edenton had adopted an administrative ordinance. Both put professional in positions where professionals are needed. Eddie Dick, county manager here, moves soon to Craven County where he will administer a budget.of 525-million, more than eight times the size of the Chowan County budget. Why then, can’t economy be perfected with an Edenton- Chowan County administrative structure? They can if those in positions of leadership wouldn’t let '‘acts of geography”, like the town limits, hold them back. More on this later.

Meeting Slated The Edenton-Chowan Board of Education will hold a special meeting tonight (Thursday) at 7:30 o’clock to identify those teachers who have taught in this system for at least three years. This is a routine procedure per formed annually by North Carolina school boards before a teacher is elected to Career Status and before a teacher is reem ployed in a system for the fourth year. Becoming effective in 1973, the law establishing Career Status for teachers serves a two-fold pur pose. It provides a certain amount of protection for the teacher against indiscriminate dismissal once the status has been approved. This law also gives a school system the privilege of not rehiring a teacher for a fourth year, if the teacher’s professional performance had been deemed inadequate from regular and special evaluation reports on policies adopted by a system's board. Prior to receiving Career Status,teachers are considered “probationary.” Following a board’s decision to rehire • teacher for the fourth year, the teachers are notified and will automatically become a Career teacher
