Putting It Together Cooperation didn’t originate along the Public Parade but a lot of people have been putting it together for a long, long time. There is one area, however, in which an extra effort needs to be made. It centers around the for mation of a United Fund cam paign. There are getting fewer and fewer people to be spread among more and more worthy causes. And they are getting harder and harder to convince to go out and knock on doors for this worthy effort or another. The United Fund is one cam paign to raise funds to support many human services agencies. Many of the agencies needing personal and business con tributions can no longer depend on federal funds. And the cost of conducting educational and research programs for each of them is beipg hit hard by inflation. One way to take inflation out of securing the needed money is by putting all the budgets into the kitty and go out with a unified effort to meet the needs. Secretary Faircloth The Square of Sampson County is meandering along the Public Parade this week and we want to make him feel welcome. £ec. D. J. (Lauch) Faircloth of me State Department of Commerce is making two “non political” ap pearances here today (Thursday). At 1 P.M., Sec. Faircloth will address the Edenton Rotary Gub. Then at 6:30 P.M. he will journey over to Soundview Restaurant in neighboring Washington County to keynote the annual meeting of the Albemarle Regional Planning & Development Commission. Bet ween the two engagements he will : probably press a lot of flesh. Sec. Faircloth is no stranger along the Public Parade. He has twice been chairman of the powerful state Board of par tat ion. During—4h* -tenure Northeastern North Carolina faired pretty well. And as secretary of commerce he still claims that industry hunters are giving the Albemarle Area top priority in plant locations, but there is little proof of this east of the Chowan River. What makes Sec. Faircloth’s visit here at this particular time interesting is that he is among a “covey” of unannounced Democratic candidates for Governor of North Carolina in 1984. His candidacy would be well received along the Public Parade and we are sure he will get more than mild encouragement during the next 24 hours. Guest Editorial Dear Editor: This past weekend was somewhat busy and unusual for my wife Lisa and me. We had weekend guests from Washington, one of which flew down in a 1929 vintage biplane, which he allowed me to fly, mainly because it was falling apart and he figured better me than him. Lisa spent all day Saturday serving tea on the wind - whipped back porch of Penelope’s house. And then, during the Tea Party battle reenactment, her Honda, much to the chagrin of the Tea Party Chairperson, Terry Wackelin, was parked, where else, but in the direct line of fire bet ween the Redcoats and the Patriots. Oh, yes, lest I forget, along with some other friends, Walter Cronkite and his charming wife Betsy dropped by our home for dinner. Actually, they were on their way to Florida aboard their forty • three foot sailboat and had stopped in Elizabeth City. They heard about Edenton and decided to come over and see our little town, not knowing that the waterfront had been turned back to the eighteenth century for the Tea Party celebration. Betsy Cronkite, upon seeing the historic district and the transformed waterfront aptly remarked that she ftit they had stepped through a time warp. That was the nicest thing she could have said.

Continued On Page 4 Elizabeth II Due For Dedication “Four Hundred years ago the first English explorers came to North Carolina where they found friendly people, a good climate, unspoiled land, and an abundance of natural resources,” a pamphlet distributed by America’s Four Hundredth Anniversary Com mittee says. The Four Hundredth An niversary Committee was created by the General Assembly of North Carolina to properly com memorate the beginnings of English America. The 400th after receiving its charge from the General Assembly has set out to fulfill its task. In so doing, the ,400th recently met in Edenton to discuss with the counties in Northeastern North Carolina what it has done to date and to present itself as a resource to the area of North Carolina and the United States that was first explored by the English and were England’s first attempt to colonize the “New World” took place. The commemoration will not of ficially start until the 27th of April, 1984 with the anniversary of the sailing of the Amadas and Barlowe expedition, however, the planning for the 400th is well undo* way.
