P arnell receives sought positions Senator David R. Parnell (D-Robeson), who represents Hoke County, has been appointed to the committees 'Hat be re quested from Lt. Governor Bob Jordan. Parnell requested his committee assignments so that he could be in a position to best serve his constituents. Parnell has been appointed to the Appropriations Committee on Justice and Public Safety which he chairs. This session he will also serve on the Agriculture Committee, the Commerce Committee, the Elec tion Laws Committee, the Judiciary IV Committee, the State Government Committee and the Ways and Means Committee. He serves as vice chairman of the Manufacturing and Labor Committee and the Insurance Committee. "1 am particularly delighted with my appointment to the Agriculture Committee. There are many farmers in my district. "Fanner* are facing really dif ficult docs. With today's high cost of producing crops, the price of commodities staying flat or decreasing and with high interest rates, fanners are hurting all over North Carolina. They are vulnerable. I am hoping that the Senate Agriculture Committee can offer some assistance to the farmers or our state," Parnell said. "Another major need in my district is for an improved educa tional system. Many of the educa tion bilk will have to come before the Appropriations Committee because they will require funding. I am particularly interested in the proposal to assure equal education in every school in this state. This proposal would require that every student graduating from high school would have access to an equal number of courses as each student in other pans of our state. "This would benefit the schools of my district some of which have been unable to offer a full cur riculum to all of the students," Parnell said. Parnell said he is also pleased about his appointment to the Com merce Committee. "There is a need for more industry in my district. We have one of the higher unemployment rates in the state. What we need more than anything else is jobs for our people. Hopefully my committee appoint ments to the Commerce Commit tee and the Manufacturing and Labor Committees will help me to direct some new industry to our area." Parnell said that he also plans to use his appointment to the chair manship of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Justice and Public Safety to fund programs to help curb the growing drug pro blem in North Carolina. Parnell's Appropriations Sub committee is responsible for any expansion money for the State Bureau of Investigation, the Highway Patrol, the courts system, the Department of Correc tion and the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. Parnell said making sure that his constituents concerns were answered is his primary interest. To help assure better contact with his constituents, he has installed a toll-free telephone number which will allow his constituents to call him without making a long distance call. The number is 1-800-722-9639. Locklear completes Army basic training Army Pvt. Felicia K.
