Trouble For Kids Possible In School Decision
A federal judge's ruling that a
Tyrrell County couple can continue
teaching their own children could
open the door to tragedy for a lot of
children, Loretta Martin, president
of the North Carolina Association
of Educators, said today.
Mrs. Martin said Judge Franklin
T. Dupree's decision that North
Carolina's compulsory attendance
law is unconstitutional "is shock

Members of the Hoke County
Youth Council will be among young
people throughout North Carolina
who will take to the state's road
sides Saturday to help get rid of
litter.
Armed with trash bags, the Hoke
youth will pick up litter on Scurlock
Road.
The date has been set aside by
Governor Jim Hunt as "Youth

case before him."
She said the reality is that anyone
professing strong beliefs will now
be encouraged to remove their
children from a traditional school
setting, whether that setting be a
public or a private school.
"That means innocent children
will suffer, for it should be readily
apparent that parents, busy with
the task of making a living, can't
hope to provide a full education for
their children, no matter what
curriculum guide they have pur
chased." she said.
She said she is appalled that
Judge Dupree, after viewing the
Alpha Omega Christian Curricu

purchased "would conclude it

basic subjects."
She said the NCAE feels the state

Consumers Asking
Rate Increase Delay
Member-consumers of Lumbee
River Electric Membership Corpo
ration are writing the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission in
Washington, DC to delay im
plementation of a rate increase
requested by Carolina Power and
Light on August 24.
The increase, slated to jump 8.4
percent on October 24 and another
10.7 percent on March 24, would
push Lumbee River EMC's retail
rates "through the roof according
to spokesman Jim Autry.
"These new rates are completely
unjustifiable," said Autry. "I don't
see how the FERC could consider
granting anything like this kind of
increase, particularly in view of the
company's performance in recent
months."
FERC can suspend the rate
implementation up to five months
if it is deemed necessary. In the last
several rate cases before the Com
mission, the one-day suspensions
have allowed major investor -
owned utilities to begin collecting
more money from wholesale buyers
almost immediately.
However, Lumbee River EMC
and many other rural electric
cooperatives protested CP&L's last
rate increase which took effect on
January 12, 1982. "Our last letter
writing campaign worked and we
intend to try it again," said Autry.
CP&L has been widely criticized
for permitting all three of its
nuclear plants to be off-line for
extended periods this summer.
When those plants aren't pro
ducing. CP&L has to buy power
from other utilities or use expensive
diesel generation. Then they pass
along those costs to consumers
through the fuel adjustment clause.
The North Carolina State Utili
ties Commission recognized the
potential for abuses of the fuel
adjustment clause and recently the
laws were changed to allow the
Commission to consider a utility's
management practices in ruling on
once-a-year changes in the fuel
charge.
Bnt the FERC, which regulates
the wholesale charges to Lumbee
River EMC. still has not made any
changes which affect retail con
sumers of the rural electric co-op.
Other recent CP&L news in
cludes reporting a record jump in
profits in the second quarter of
1982 and payment of a S120.000
fine for nuclear plant violations.
