Page 2-A Art Works On Display An unusual collection of art works created by mentally retarded adults will be exhibited at College of The Albemarle during February, according to Pam Whitley, coordinator of the traveling exhibits from the N. C. Museum of Art. “Art: First Encounters” consists of selected works which resulted from a pilot program conducted by the museum and Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh. “The project provided convincing evidence of the creative and self-expressive capabilities of this special segment of the population,” Whitley said. The exhibition was one of the first showings of the works of mentally retarded adults to be held in a major American art museum. Whitley explained that “Art: First En counters” marked the culmination of art awareness classes con ducted by museum staff at the hospital following a tour of the state museum by hospital residents. Patients took part in formal sessions where they were shown basic visual arts concepts. They then had workshop sessions, where they were free to express themselves with the materials provided. “And they did,” Whit ley said, “with the abandon and joy that many sophisticated artists display in their approach to creating 'Mi I American Heart % P Association !

Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: Mayor, and “puppet Council” witnessing the action of the Town Council Monday night turned my stomach. In my opinion for the sake of a few votes their action showed total disregard for the wishes of the people and best interest of the town. We have people being laid off of jobs and high school graduates walking the streets with no work or leaving town. I would hope that after a night of sleep and the light of day that at least part of the council regrets being led by the mayor and his chief puppet.

Mother Nature may be in control of temperatures, but here is away, in some cases, we can effect our exposure to the wind. A scale is used to calculate the wind-chill factor. This is simply defined as the actual temperature we feel. If the wind is blowing at 20 miles per hour and the tem perature is 20 degrees, then the temperature we feel is a minus nine (-9) degrees. By blocking the wind, we quickly see and feel the benefits. This holds true on our cropland where wind breaks planted to trees and shrubs are one way to cut down on the Mowing force of the wind. There are many possibilities for planting windbreaks in eastern North Carolina. These systematic plantings have proven their worth in the midwest and are making some progress in our state and in our area. Our flat broad counties are being cleared more and more for cropland. These clearings can leave some extensive openings of fifteen miles or more on our land scape. In Chowan County our farm areas are not as large, but they still can give the wind a chance to gain force. Natural areas that are not farmed, such as swamps, provide a buffer against the wind. However, the effective distance of any windbreak is small and researchers say that protection is given only for a distance of ten times the height of the windbreak. The time to think about windbreaks is in the initial planning process and little progress has been made locally in the establishment of windbreaks. Certain areas should be designated as windbreak areas and left intact. If the land has I already been cleared, spaces for the breaks can be planned along, with ditch or. drainage patterns. Areas beside roads also make good locations for windbreaks. Some farmers in the area have used loblolly pines planted in three or more rows on a 6 by 6 foot spacing and staggered. However, pines will soon grow tall and strong winds can sweep underneath. A good combination for windbreaks would be bi color lespedeza planted along with the pines, providing a break for the wind below the lower branches of the trees. This would also provide food for wildlife. Good combinations for house lots would be loblolly pines interplanted with azaleas. Hie evergreen azaleas afford good winter protection, as well as beautiful flowers in the spring.

Deciduous trees can be planted on the southeastern corners to reduce the sun rays in the summer. As the leaves fall, the sun can penetrate for warming in the winter.

One local farmer, Gilliam Wood, who is clearing some new farm land, is planning a strip 120 feet wide on the west ward side of the tract to help block the prevailing winds.
