also have programs geared to the needs of the elderly.
Edenton’s mayor Roy

congratulate the old timers
on their first annual Green
Thumb picnic and welcome
all the Green Thumbers for
their jobs well done in their
communities.
The Green Thumbers
picnic day consisted of a
workers reunion, fishing,
sight seeing, game of
shooting darts and pitching
horshoes.
While the “GT” ladies
unpacked and shared their
lunches of all kind of goodies
The GT Men surprised the
ladies with 50. lbs. of
luscious fresh fish for a fish
fry treat. That will not ever
be forgotten. Thanks to our
young chef Nadine Rivers.
After all the good eating
and talking was over some
just sat under the beautiful
shade trees and went to
sleep. While one green
thumber said “quote” what
a beautiful way to spend a
sunny day fun’n and sun’n
together. Lets do again real
soon.

Johnson of Pasquotank

Letter To The
Herald Editor
Dear Editor:
Jimmy Green made a
mistake; Jimmy Green
admitted his mistake. We
would not presume to say
that your publication ever
made a mistake, but all of us
and perhaps other citizens
of North Carolina have
made mistakes in our lives.
People who make mistakes
also make material and
substantial contributions to
oUr State and to their
communities.
We know that Jimmy
Green has made material
andsubstantial contributions
to his State -- North Carolina
- and to his cbmmunity --
Bladen County.
We have served with and
known Jimmy Green in his
service as a representative
from Bladen County from
1961 to 1976, during which
time he served as chairman
of many important com
mittees and as Speaker of
the House from 1975 to 1977.
We have served with and
known Jimmy Green in his
service to North Carolina as
its Lieutenant Governor
from 1976 until the present.
During these years he has
listened to the people of
North Carolina and has
exerted his efforts and in
fluence to bring about a
better North Carolina for all
of its citizens.
As an example of his
leadership qualities, in 1975
when our State was facing a
S3OO-million shortfall, it was
Speaker Jimmy Green who
appointed the first Base
Budget Committee which
ultimately enabled the
General Assembly to
balance the budget without
any tax increases.
His record reveals his
compassion for the elderly
and for the very young, for
the handicapped and for the
I disadvantaged.
| In conclusion, we want to
take this opportunity to
emphasize that, despite his
mistakes, Jimmy Green is a
dedicated and capable
public servant, and, in our
opinion, one with much to
offer the State of North
Carolina and its citizens.
