.HPHf' fa 1. Tr jfrt 3i T/JITK^IiI : Continued From Page 1 :■ Colonial Edenton. • Much progress is being made on | the state-widewide promotion of • America’s 400th Anniversary : during 1984-87 to commemorate 1 Sir Walter Raleigh’s colony on \ Roanoke Island. Big names, easily : identified with historic preser : vation and restoration, contribute • to fanning. Miss Elizabeth Vann : Moore of Edenton was on the j original list chosen by Gov. James : : B. Hunt. Miss Moore found it : difficult to serve and chose to be : reappointed. The latest appointee : is former U. S. Rep. Richardson . Preyer of Greensboro. While the center of attention will be on Roanoke Island, not all the fallout will be on Manteo. Thousands upon thousands of : people will pass along the Public : Parade, for example, either by - accident or design. • W. B. Gardner, new chairman of the Edenton Historic Commission, - must have had this in mind when ; he named Mrs. Judy Earnhardt as : that group’s representative to the Historic Albemarle Tours board. The fact that she was later named head of the board indicates the appointment was a wise one. Positive steps must continue to be taken if historic Edenton is to gain a rightful place in Tar Heel historyland. While they are dedicating $126-million convention centers in San Francisco, called the “linchpin” to the tourist in dustry, we must busy ourselves with our own progress in the tourist industry. Revenue from tourism comes from smokeless dollars. The jobs may be at the service station, the dress shop, the hardware store, or even the doctor’s office. They are clean and they won’t pollute the Chowan River or Albemarle Sound. Edenton continues to garner choice, unsolicited publicity. This will not continue if those who toil to keep Edenton a viable alter native, dr even a side trip between New Bern and Williamsburg, are not joined by new hands. The most pressing project is to convert the Ziegler House at the comer of Broad and Gale streets into a new headquarters for Historic Edenton. There hasn’t been too much said about how closely the project ties with Edenton-Chowan Chamber of Commerce, but the bond between the chamber and Historic Edenton needs to be so close that one can hardly tell the difference, if any at all, between them. This community very well can’t afford two of everything. But it can support one of most everything real good. Even crumbs-of money and talent mount up when concentrated in one area. Bad Trend There is a bad trend threading through the scheme of things along the Public Parade and throughout the nation. It is the increasing number of people who have total disregard for what belongs to others. Blue collar crime is on the rampage. It hasn’t stopped at the prison gates, either. U. S. Atty. Sam Currin has started a campaign to spread the : word about what’s happening on the crime scene in Eastern North Carolina. A recent news release reported activity of a Federal Grand Jury where practically all the action involved bank robbery and embezzlement. Money. / The Chowan Herald (USPS (06-380) P.O.

M. in the Edenton Baptist Church. A variety of Christmas music will be presented. The public is cordially invited to attend and participate in this musical opening of the Christmas season. COA Staffer Assumes Additional Duties An administrative staff member at College of The Albemarle has assumed additional duties and a new title, according to Dr. J. Parker Chesson, Jr., president of the community college in Elizabeth City. Pam Whitley someone elses money, is driving more and more people bananas. One of the most ingenius methods of obtaining money which doesn’t belong to you was un covered in the prison system. Eleven prison inmates or former inmates and one relative of an inmate have been indicted for various charges involving false income tax returns claiming refunds. Joint investigations by the IRS and U. S. Secret Service have covered a two- year period and resulted in 37 indictments of prisoners last year. The U. S. attorney estimates that total false claims filed against the govern ment in this scheme exceeded $200,000. There will always be those who specialize in attempting to beat the system. They increase in numbers during a period of hard times. There is a bad trend now and law enforcement authorities are being hard pressed to keep up with the complaints. These bad trends must be halted. U. S. Atty. Currin is right in calling these cases to the public’s attention. In this way a warning is being sounded. A Rose Candidacy On Tuesday night of last week Rep. Charlie Rose of the seventh Congressional District was the center of attraction at a fund raiser in Raleigh. It isn’t unusual for such events to happen in Wake County, but the Rose affair has created more than passing con- Pam Whitley, who has served in the capacity of assistant to the president since October 1, 1980, was named director of business and community relations on December 1. Dr. Chesson said Mrs. Whitley’s prime respon sibility will be one of liaison between the college and area businesses and industry. “Through her contacts, a more accurate determination of educational and training needs can be made,” he said, “providing a more effecive connection between COA’s programs and existing needs.” The president said he is con vinced that this function is in the best interest of both the college and the'community. “Out of a closer relationship will come a clearer understanding of training needs and additional support for COA’s mission,” he said. As a related duty, Mrs. Whitley versation about what the congressman will be running for in 1984. Our least favored morning daily newspaper of general circulation along the Public Parade and Northeastern North Carolina speculated thjat Rep. Rose has turned state and national exposure on tobacco toward the Governor’s Mansion on Blount Street. Those who signed the guest register appeared to be more important than how much money was raised. The paying guests included representatives of practically every faction of the Democratic Party in Tar Heelia, as well as at least one noteable from the GOP ranks. Before the ink ttfied on the report, Rep. Rose flooded the state with “Dear Friend” letters pointing out that Gov. James B. Hunt has asked him to help involve citizens in shaping the future of North Carolina. The program is called “North Carolina 2000” and was “established to enable North Carolinians to identify the challenges of our future and to participate in meeting them.” “North Carolina 2000” is a worthy effort, and quite am bitious. To be successful it needs a broad cross-section of par ticipation. Gov. Hunt was right in involving Pete Thompson in Chowan County and Charlie Rose in Washington, D. C. And we bet he involved Rep. Walter B. Jones of the Fjrst Congressional District, a mentor of Rep. Rose, and others of both the majority and minority party of the state. We find the next to last paragraph in the Rose letter in-, teresting: “North Carolina has a ■ proud past marked by responsible, competent and progressive leadership. We must continue to live up to our heritage by resisting the trend toward negativism which threatens our state and nation. We will have to enlighten those who say ‘no’ to the future if we hope to lead the South into the 2lst Century. Interesting? It sure is! Sounds mighty like what another Fayetteville native (former Gov. Terry Sanford) said a couple of decades ago. Rep. Rose was closely identified with that ad ministration. Is a Rose candidacy for governor in the making? Medical Student Assists Physicians If you saw a familiar face at the Chowan Medical Center during the month of November, don’t be surprised. It was Tom Bass, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Bass of Rocky Hock. Bass, a medical student at East Carolina University, will complete his training in May of 1982. He has already made applications con cerning the following internship and is waiting to hear from those. His work at the Chown Medical Center was the result of a fourth year elective course that he had taken at East Carolina. The course, known as Family Prac tice, has the student working under actual conditions while assisting in already licensed doctor. While at the Medical Colter, Bass worked half and half with Dr. David Wright and Dr. Richard Hardin. also will work closely with local chambers of commerce, industrial development commissions, and other groups engaged in the promotion of economic development within the COA service area. Additionally, she will coordinate the college’s staff development program and supervise public relations activities. She will continue to save as Affirmative Action officer and will assist with the development of special projects. Mrs. Whitley earned her associate in arts degree from Louisburg College in 1973. She received her bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1975. She was the local government coordinator for the Mid-East Commission in Washington for two years. In 1977, she accepted a position as the Economic Development Administration planner with the Albemarle Regional Planning and Development Commission (ARPDC), remaining in that post J ilrttillaktyeifr when she jbiri&Tthd staff at COA.

Some 67 local governments in the 20 coastal counties have developed these plans to guide development. A report will be presented on progress in establishing a beach access program along the coast. The program was authorized and funded by the General Assembly last spring and approved by the CRC in September. The Coastal Resources Com mission invites public comments during its session at about 2:30 P. M. Thursday on land use {dans submitted by Beaufort and Pender counties and the towns of Atlantic Beach, Aurora, Burgaw, Cape Carteret, Edenton, Emerald Isle, Holly Ridge, Long Beach, Manteo, Minnesott Beach, New Bern, Newport, Ocean Isle Beach, Plymouth and Shallotte. The commission’s task forces will address water quality and post-disaster planning. Appointments Set On Hospital Board Continued From Page 1 of the grant for renovation of the second story of the Library building. In the Sheriff car bids for the purchase of a mid-size Sheriff vehicle, Albemarle Motor Co. was selected by the Council for the purchase. Next on the agenda was the building of a rescue squad building for the Gliden community. The two types of buildings in question were a block building and a' metal building. Because of the low maintenance the metal building would require die Council ap proved the construction of such a builckng for the uses of the rescue squad.

He worked at the Chowan Medical Center during November assisting Dr. Richard Hardin, right, and Dr. David Wright. Water Key To The Future “Water - unpolluted and abundant - is the key for North Carolina’s future,” said Sec. Joseph W. Grimsley of the Department of Natural Resources and Community .Development. “The challenge of the ’Bos will be to protect and wisely use our water to promote public health,, maintain environmental quality and support industrial growth and expansion,” he added. The remarks came during a luncheon address to the N. C. Water Resources Research In stitute at the N. C. State University Faculty Club. Grimsley noted that North Carolina is in relatively good position because of its abundant natural water supplies and dispersed population. However, projected increases in population, industrial activity and land clearing could result in water pollution and water supply problems. The solution, Grimsley said, is in building and main taining adequate wastewater treatment timely, development of additional water supplies'"aHpiWore widespread usee: of land management' practices which limit runoff. “We must begin to confront and solve these problems now. This is a beautiful state and we can keep it that way. But to do this govern ment, industry, agriculture and private citizens must pull together. We can have clean and Joe Grimsley and found the conditions of the field as very poor. The bleachers were in bad shape and there was no backstop present. The Council approved the motion for new bleachers to be built. In the final item on the agenda the restoration of the Register of Deeds books was approved. Several of the books were in bad shape and the Dobbs Brothers of St. Augustine, Fla. have been picked to do the restoration work. One other item not on the agenda was the appointment of a committee to design a County seal. The Commissioners ap proved the forming of such a committee. Almost There is an old saying that honesty is the best policy. But at taxpaying time there are a lot of people who seem to think they can’t afford the best. Ledger, Fairfield. plentiful water if we will cooperate in protecting the resource on which we all depend,” Grimsley said. Grimsley addressed five central areas in water planning and gave his recommendations for im proving each area. . Water supply is now good, however, water use may double by the year 2000. The State will streamline processes for reservoir development and provide technical assistance and public information on water conservation techniques. Local governments in problem areas need to begin to act now to establish additional sup plies. State planning help will be provided to these governments. To protect water quality, treatment plants must be ex panded and new facilities built. Overland runoff from agriculture and construction activities can be controlled by better management practices. Toxic chemicals can be handled through improved monitoring and the industrial pretreatment of wastes before they are discharged to municipal systems. /. 4. Groundwater provides service to the 60 per cent of North Carolina’s population who rely on wells. Top priority goes to development of management plans for our major aquifers and inventory and control potential pollution sources. Coastal waters have unique value and face unique problems. To protect water quality, tourism and the fishery industry we must reduce nutrient inputs, bacteria levels and fresh water inflow. The work of restoring the Chowan River will go ahead. The coastal water management task force is developing policies which will allow fishing, agriculture and forestry to coexist productively on the coast. In river basin management the department will work with local leaders to reconcile competing uses. Current water use policies will be reviewed and new legislative proposals prepared. Health Care Continued From Page 1 Lewis is developing other Senior Villages in Elizabeth City, Clinton, Greenville, Seven Lakes, Elkin and Hickory for two other cor porations. Amburn and Gardner are stockholders in Brenam, Inc., and Senior Villages, Inc., owners of the six additional facilities. The facilities will be a great adjunct to the existing hospital and nursing homes in the area. “It will support these facilities and offer another alternative to the well-being of the senior citizens of the area in which they are located, ” Lewis said. “It will aid in keeping local citizens at home, dose to their loved ones and maintain their rightful place in the family structure.” I I I pmjj r<r** J L r—l l rvfiScil IlflnYu II ii fr ►— SjSLt lfllrirM l\ lvlLflttli ill IT IJ If I dAfll J jiiuy cany, wan
