Noted And Passed
Dr. David Bruton, chairman,
State Board of Education, told an
audience of school officials here
recently; “Don’t let acts of
geography, like eeqittylines, hold
you back.” The reference was to a
proposed Tri-County Education
Center to serve Chowan, Gates
’ and Perquimans counties.
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.
Transplant
Edenton and Chowan County are
developing more and more into a
community of transplants. One of
the reasons can very well be the
Biennial Pilgrimate of Colonial
Edenton and Countryside.

result are bad.

the stage for Kerr’s arrest. In all
instances in which Mrs. Lane was
involved she drove her vehicle
while Kerr and Embrey broke in
to the establishments. She later
assisted in getting merchandise
into the car. This was the case at

brother, the morning of February

cottage where the three defen
dants lived and found Embrey and
Kerr at home.
During the time the officers
were there, Kerr opened a
refrigerator and a deputy
recognized some meat like that
reported stolen from an earlier
break-in.
When officers went back later in
the morning, armed with a search
warrant, Kerr had left.
On Party Affairs
J. Clarence Leary, Jr., chair-,
man of the Chowan County
Democratic Executive Com
mittee, announced today that
Democrats throughout the county
will have an opportunity to par
ticipate in party affairs when the
annual precinct meetings are
held tonight (Thursday). The
meetings are scheduled for 8
o’clock at the polling place, where
residents of the precinct nor
mally vote.
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
