Jay Conrad, Ollie Blount and William Riddick paint the finishing touches, as Terry Wacklin, center background, festival coordinator, gives approval. Pupils Active In Celebration Edenton-Chowan’s school students and their con tributions were very much in evidence during the 206th Anniversary Celebration of The Tea Party on October 25. and October 26 in Edenton. The commemorative festivities, sponsored by The Edenton Historical Com mission, were coordinated by Mrs. Terry Wacklin. When Mrs. Terry Wacklin agreed to chair the weekend activities, her intention to involve the total community immediately surfaced. That she considers students a vital community resource also quickly emerged with her request from this quarter. Mrs. Wacklin feels that children should be afforded every opportunity to learn more about their heritage and that active participation is the best way to stimulate and keep interest. Ac cording to the coordinator, tremendous and en thusiastic, cooperative response has been received from principals, teachers and students alike. Lending authenticity to the historic district’s transformation to an 18th Century Street Fair, students from the Ex ceptional Childrens Gifted and Talented Program, costumed in period attire, acted as tour guides and hostesses at historic sites. Over one thousand Penelope Baker cookies, made by John A. Holmes High School home economics students, were available to tempt the tastebuds of hungry tourists. High school social studies students assumed responsibilities by helping to make posters and to set up arts and crafts exhibits. With encouragement from the Chowan Arts Council, many school students’ arts and crafts were on exhibit. Many high school students donned costumes and supervised numerous games and activities Nownr WBGHTWUOBtS Ol oil «h» wlgh»-loM program!

Students from the Edenton-Chowan Alter native School donated their artisitic talent by making street banners. On the preceding Saturday, this group also aided by at taching approximately seven hundred iden tification cards, completed by the school system’s students in grades K-3, to string which was tied to balloons for the Balloon Launch. Preparation for the Balloon Launch provided a learning experience for the young K-3 students, as they were required to fill in the identification cards with their names, address, school and class. Many teachers took the timely opportunity of this community celebration to focus on the history of Chowan County during the 1700’s. Through their active participation this weekend, students became a part of the living history during the eighteenth century. Resident Lenders Hold Meeting In State Capital The Resident Lenders of North Carolina held a special meeting at the downtown Holiday Inn in Raleigh October 21. The association represents consumer finance licensees which are incorporated and owned within the state. Serious concern was expressed about the increasing number of bankruptcies and the high cost of money. Since all of these com panies are regulated by the legislature, it was decided to seek relief during the next session of the legislature. Albert Blanton, 111, representing Time Financing Service attended as a member from Edenton. Schools Purchase Bus For Handicapped Edenton-Chowan Schools proudly boasts the addition of a new bus to its fleet. Although small in size, the recently purchased, Cancer Volunteers At Work Cancer! Once again there is a hopeful theme for the Ammerican Cancer Society’s October Crusade, says Mrs. Yates Parrish, county chairman. “We Want To Wipe Out Cancer In Your Lifetime”. Mrs. Parrish will lead local volunteers in a countywide effort to help wipe out cancer in your lifetime by research and education. “Our volunteeers will urge their friends and neighbors to help win this goal by supporting the Society’s life-saving programs with a “checkup and a check”, she said. There are three million Americans alive today who have had cancer, many of them actually cured of their disease. The public should be aware that the detection and treatment of cancer has improved greatly. For example, leukemia and lymphoma are responding to combined drug treat ments, we are using scanning machines to locate tumors deep within the body; cancer specialists today can rely on sophisticated blood com ponnent therapy to help protect their patients from such complications as in fection and hemorrhage while cancer is being treated. “We certainly know that we could save thousands of cancer patients with the knowledge we have today - if everyone understood the importance of actually preventing some cancers, or starting treatment early when the chance of success is greatest,” she stated. “A goal of $6,000 has been set for Chowan and we intend to raise this amount through the house to house canvas, business, special events, memorials, Radio Day, and balloon and mouse button sales.” Other key leaders working with the crusade are: Residential, Edenton Woman’s Club, Mrs. Frances Copeland; Fannie A. Parker Woman’s Club, Mrs. Ruth Frinks; Rural Residential, Home Ex tension Clubs. Many volunteers will be assisting these groups. Business, Mrs. Jean Perry. Rural Business, West Leary and Guy Hobbs.

Letter To The Editor Dear Editor; It seems that only a complete lack of civic and historical pride for the Town of Edenton on the part of The Chowan Herald could preclude full newspaper coverage and publication of information about an out standing local com memorative event. The Edenton Tea Party Commemoration of October 25th-26th received full support of local citizentry and visitors, not to mention that of many, many dedicated workers on and the contributors to the project. It apparently failed to make any impression on your newspaper, since the current issue contains nothing about the event. Respectfully, Grover C.

R-P- Pbran, Jr, Agont For the past two weeks, the twenty-five passenger bus has operated to tran sput six students to the sytem’s TMH and multi handicapped classes located at D.F. Walker School. Ralph Cole Walker prin cipal, anticipates two more student passengers in the near future. Because of the nature of handicaps, which made it impractical for these students to ride a regular bus, parents have had to assume the responsibility of getting their children to school. Technically, however, school systems are responsible for providing an appropriate education for all students, including their tran sportation. The new bus makes this possible. Purchased for $17,500 from capital outlay ex penditures from three sources, the new bus' has features to accomodate student needs.

In addition to the driver, another adult rides the bus to assist with the loading and unloading of han dicapped students and to supervise the students in route to and from school. Parents, when necessary, also assist with the morning boarding of students. Since this one bus serves all of the County’s' han dicapped students, its route is spread out and it operates on a different time schedule. Students arrive at Walker at 8:30 A.M. and are dismissed at 2:15 P.M. The round trip for the bus spans ap proximately fifty miles. Now that the school system has puchased the mini-bus, it, like all the school buses, will be maintained and replaced when necessary by the State.
