Harrelson’s family
creates scholarship
In observance of his retirement
after 30 years of teaching at the
Vanderbilt University Divinity
School, Brunswick County native
Walter Harrelson and his family
have established an endowed
scholarship.
Income from the endowment,
made possible through a life insur
ance policy, will benefit students in
the divinity school and the graduate
department oi religion who show
financial need, with special consid
eration given, but not limited to, stu
dents interested in the Hebrew
Bible.
Harrelson, distinguished professor
emeritus of Hebrew Bible, was one
of 30 Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox
and Jewish scholars who labored
nearly 20 years to produce a new
translation of the Revised Standard
Version of the Bible. Harrelson was
involved in the translation of the
books of I and n Samuel, Leviticus,
I and II Chronicles and Ezekiel.
His work was also the focus of a
book entitled Justice and the Holy:
Essays in Honor of Walter Harrel
son.
In addition, Harrelson has been a
leader in professional societies,
humanities organizations, theologi
cal education, ecumenical research
and interfaith dialogue.
He is the brother of Dan Harrelson
of Southport.
Careful partying
adds holiday cheer
With the holiday party season ap
proaching, insurers warn hosts of
parties that a new interpretation of
North Carolina’s law may leave
them holding the bag for damages
caused by a drunk driver.
In September, the N. C. Supreme
Court decided that a social host
could be liable for damages caused
by a drunk driver. If a host serves a
guest alcohol knowing that person is
several other great ladies have al
ready begun the dress-making for
dozens of dolls. The VIC board is
discussing the site for this year, and
quite a few volunteers have gone on
record as saying they wouldn’t miss
it for the world."
If an organization, church or busi
ness would like to sponsor a Tree
of-Hope, "adopt" a family for
Christmas or become involved as a
volunteer in the program, a member
of the VIC board of directors or staff
will provide details.
Current directors are chairman Bill
Turner, vice-chairman Michael
Rhodes, treasurer Susan Gibble, sec- |

Holiday pressures
If the pressure of the holidays is
sometimes too much to bear. New

The free program is scheduled for

r
intoxicated and may be driving, then
the host may be sued for damages.
"Unfortunately, holidays turn to
tragedy for many people as a result
,of drunk drivers,” said Thomas
Huels, regional claims manager for
State Farm in Raleigh. "Now that a
host can be held liable for damages
.caused by someone who attended
his party, we hope that more
responsible hosts will help curb
.drinking and driving."
Experts say it is best to serve no
alcoholic beverages but recommend
that hosts do the following if they
serve alcohol at their holiday
parties:
•Have non-alcoholic or low
alcohol content beverages as
alternatives.
•Serve plenty of food.
•Don’t serve alcoholic beverages
to someone who is obviously intoxi
cated.
•Collect guests’ car keys and keep
them all in a central location. Return
the keys as guests leave and only if
the person driving is not intoxicated.
•Call a cab or designate a non
drinking driver from the party to
take intoxicated drivers home.
"The best way to prevent an acci
dent is to follow some common
sense guidelines," said Huels.
