Screened reverses, however, will continue to be of fered at no extra charge. As we work our way into the new system, the appearance of the Chowan Herald will change considerably, we hope for the bet ter. There will be experimenta tion, of course, but eventually we should come up with an attractive new head dress, new standing heads and an overall cleaner, easier to read paper. We beg your indulgence during the first weeks of the new system. E.N. Manning, general manager, and members of his staff will be doing their best; but, if something comes out you think doesn’t look good, drop the editor a letter and say so. It may be that something better is also available. This new equipment cost a whole of lot money. We hope that, through increased efficiency, lower-priced supplies and materials, and less-expensive down time, it will pay for itself within a few years. We purchas ed it through a North Carolina firm, MicroAge of Greenville. Thus, when it is necessary to bring in a specialist, we won’t have to pay his travel expenses all the way from Massachusetts, as we have been doing in the past.

In addition, each council member must be given at least six hours prior notification of the meeting. Special meetings can be con vened by the mayor or mayor pro tem or by any two council members to consider a subject or subjects specifically stated in the notification. “American ship attacked in the Persian Gulf.” “Stock market drop is new record.” These twin headlines that shared the front pages of last week’s news left me cold. They seemed calculated to frighten. They worked. But I was more than frightened. I was angry and discouraged. Why? Peace and prosperity. Those are what we hope for, pray for, and sometimes, work for. The headlines frightened me because they reminded me how fragile those hopes are. The headlines put them totally out of my control-and out of anyone’s control. The stock market. Will it re bound and reach new highs? Will it continue to fall? Will it crash and bring recession or depression to the economy? Listen to the experts and you get a thousand different answers. Nobody really knows what is go ing to happen or why. Can our prosperity and economic security really be at the mercy of a stock market that is controlled by forces that we do not understand and can not influence? No wonder we are discouraged by the headlines about the market. The Persian Gulf. The news from there may be worse. We have given up the choice of war or peace-and put it in the hands of the Iranians. It is now up to them. We have laid down the challenge to them. “Back down, don’t confront us or we will retaliate,” we say firm ly and give them the power to chose peace or conflict. Maybe we had to do it, but that does not keep me from being chilled by Iran’s having control over my peace. Iran holds us hostage again. Can we really out-retaliate them? Should we surrender or withdraw? How can we “win” without fighting? There are no good answers to those questions. Each day everything seems more and more out of our control. Our peace and our prosperity hostages to an insane country and an insane stock market. No wonder I am discouraged. and to complete ADET school.

Applicants . - - -s& Must Comply HERTFORD—Farmers who apply for loans made or guaranteed from the Farmers Home Administration must cer tify that they are in compliance with certain soil conservation re quirements related to highly erodible and wetlands, according to Melvin E. Howell, County Supervisor. “The 1985 Farm Bill prevents farmers from receiving benefits from USDA programs, including FmHA loans, unless they are in compliance with conservation procedures relating to ‘highly erodible’ and ‘wet’ lands, Howell said. Before FmHA can complete the processing of a loan applica tion, the farmers must contact their local Agricultural Stabiliza tion Conservation Service County Office and complete the necessary certification form. The certification form to be signed by the applicant asks three basic questions dealing with cultivating highly erodible and land not farmed before; wet areas converted for cropland since December 23, 1985; and future plans to convert wetlands. Howell said, “farm borrowers who take the necessary certification actions now will not be delayed in receiv ing their spring crop loans. However, failure to take action could delay the delivery of FmHA loans and the USDA benefits.” For additional information please call (919) 426-5733 or visit the County FmHA Office at Coun ty Office Building, Church Street Extended, Hertford. FmHA is an equal opportunity lender. Correction In an interview with Mayor John Dowd in last week’s edition, the word “not” was inadvertent ly omitted. The sentence should have read, “He said that the main problem stemmed from lack of pride of people and not inadequate cleanup services.” We regret the error. Let Your Words Do The Tilting On The Chawen Herald's Ctiaatied Page! THE SEARCH FOR HEALTH jo < z H£P& I A Report from The National Institute of Heelth Bethesda, Maryland I Straight Facts About AIDS By ROBERT E. WINDOM, M.D. Assistant Secretary for Health My participation in the fight against AIDS is of fairly recent origin. I was sworn in as Assistant Secretary for Health just ten months ago. The Public Health Service, however, has been deep ly involved in the AIDS crisis from its beginning, in mid-1981. And since that time, the Service has made astounding progress. Work ing in concert with scientists across America and abroad, we discovered the AIDS virus and learned how it destroys the im mune systems of its victims; we found out how the virus is transmitted, and we developed a blood test that has enabled us to protect our blood supply from con tamination with the AIDS virus. Our nation’s blood supply, I might note, is safer today than it ever has been before. As I write, research continues into the mysteries of this terrible disease. We are looking for a drug, or drugs, that will prove effective in treating AIDS. We are searching for a vaccine that will enable us to prevent it. Much re mains to be done, obviously, and until these riddles are solved, the Public Health Service will con tinue to regard AIDS research and education as its number one priority. Why education? In the absence of a cure or a vaccine for AIDS, the best weapon we have is public education. To date, about 90 per cent of all cases of AIDS in this country have occured in two groups: sexually active homosex ual and bisexual men and present or past users of illegal intravenous drugs. Now, we are seeing cases in heterosexual men and women and we are diagnosing AIDS in infants bom to infected mothers. .There is growing alarm in the general public. Are we all at risk fftfevliMfrrtgAIDS? Certainly not. AIDS is not spread by casual contact, as 4 many other viruses are. You won’t get AIDS by shaking hands or hugging a person with AIDS. You won’t get AIDS if that person sneezes on you or prepares your food. AIDS is actually difficult to catch. It is spread by the most in timate kind of sexual contact and by the sharing of contaminated g needles and syringes. To reduce " your chances of exposure to the AIDS virus... ...maintain a mutually faithful, monogamous relationship. Don’t have sex with multiple partners or with persons who have had multi ple partners, including pro stitutes. Although most AIDS cases have occured among m homosexual and bisexual men, ^ many cases also have occurred among men and women who are heterosexual. The more partners you have, the greater your risk. ...avoid sex with persons who have AIDS, with persons at risk for AIDS or with persons who have had a positive result on the AIDS antibody test. If you do have 4 sex with a person you think may be infected (and I cannot stess too strongly that you should not) take precautions to prevent contact with that person’s body fluids. Use a condom, which will reduce (reduce, not eliminate) the chances of spreading the virus, and avoid anal intercourse and other practices thay may injure 41 bodily tissues and make it easier for the virus to enter the bloodstream. Oral-genital contact should be avoided, as should open mouthed, intimate kissing. ...don't use intravenous drugs. Seek treatment for your addiction. If you are unable to stop using IV drugs, don’t use a needle or syr inge that someone else already 41 has used, because it may be con taminted with the AIDS virus. Don’t share contaminated needles or syringes. Since the discovery of the first AIDS cases in this country, in mid-1961, more than 35,000 cases have beat reported, and more than 20,000 of them have proven fatal. 4
