with the following quotes:

TOWN ADMINISTRATOR LEADS THE WAY— Edenton
Town Administrator Sam Noble donated blood for the 12th time at
the Bloodmobile on November 24. His pint along with 171 others,
added up to make this Edenton’s largest blood donation since
September of 1978.
Bloodmobile Receives Highest
Blood Donations In 3 Years
The Tidewater Red Cross
Bloodmobile, sponsored by the
Edenton Jaycees, came to the
Edenton United Methodist Church
on November 24 with a quota of 150
units of blood. They left with 172,
the largest blood donation here
since September of 1978.
The record drive was helped
along by various businesses and
organizations in the area, and by
the challenge between the Town
and County officials. The Town
was captained by Town Ad
ministrator Sam Noble, a 12-time
donor, and the County was led by
County Manager Cliff Copeland, a
first-time donor. They were the
first two officials to donate at this
drive, and a competition soon
developed to see which side would
contribute the most units of blood.
The competition was close at first,
but the County soon pulled away,
eventually doubling the Town
donations. However Noble
maintained that, “The Town
definitely had the stronger cap
tain, I held up much better than
the County captain.”
Copeland admitted that, “Sam
Noble is a tougher man,” all the
while maintaining that he didn’t
want his blood to go to a certain
North Carolina based football
team.
Bruce Wackelin, the chairman
of the Bloodmobile, was well
team, which will consist of a pilot,
a paramedic, and a medical flight
nurse, will lift-off within three to
five minutes of request.
The air ambulance will be
furnished with all the supplies,
drugs, and equipment necessary
to advanced life support. In ad
dition, Nightingale will be capable
of two-way radio communications
with area hospitals and public
service agencies.
The new transport system will
fly within a 70-125 mile radius of
the helicopter’s base at Norfolk
General Hospital. Nightingale’s
services, which are subject only to
extreme weather conditions, will
provide medical assistance when
problems of distance and inac
cessibility are experienced.
All existing referral patterns
will be honored. Patients wiH be
transported to the hospital of their
choice (when appropriate) or to
the hospital designated by the
attending physician.
With area support, Nightingale
will add a new dimension to the
sophisticated emergency systems
that currently exist in our region.
This could help improve
emergency care for all those who
must depend upon it.
pleased with the large turnout.
Several area businesses were
represented by donors and the
Dept, of Social Services had a 100
per cent turnout. The Chowan
Herald was also well represented
with two of its employees
donating, and WCDJ, which
covered the event, had a donation
made by Terry Willaims.
The next Bloodmobile will be on
January 19 at the American
Legion Hut. They are hoping for
an even larger turnout this time.

the Farm City Banquet story in

9 January 1, 1982. The price for a single copy will be 25 cents. fl
8 This is the first increase in subscription and single copy rates 8

fl be $7.28 with outside-the-state being $7.50. fl

COUNTY MANAGER
MANAGES TO SURVIVE
Cliff Copeland, the Chowan
County Manager, donated
blood for the first time at last
week’s bloodmobile. Though
battle weary from trying to
solve the problems in the
county, he and various other
town and county officials
donated to help this worthy
cause.
Martin To Serve
On Advisory
Rate Committee
RALEIGH James D. Martin,
director of public utilities in
Edenton, has been appointed to a
new Rate Advisory Committee
within N. C. Municipal Power
Agency No. 3. The agency, of
which Edenton is a member, is
buying into Carolina Power &
Light Company generating
facilities as a cost-cutting move.
Mayor Simon Sitterson of
Kinston, agency chairman, ap
pointed the Rate Advisory
Committee to review and provide;
guidance to the agency staff, and
recommendations to the board, in
the design and setting of Power
Agency’s Bulk Power Supply rate
to its participating cities.

than it was when they took it out,”
he added.
“It’s quite obvious that
Union Camp public relations
personnel and engineers have
stretched the story,” said Burke
Watson, another interested citizen
on the fact-finding mission. “In
my mind, there is no doubt there
will be a problem with the
discharge in the tributary and the
Santee Cooper basin.”
