Special Olympics “A New Kind Of Joy” By C. Ray Dudley Back in the summer of 1968 over 1000 children from all over the Country gathered to Soldier Field, Chicago to participate in the first Special Olympics’ games. The Special Olympics program was developed to give the “Special Population” a chance to belong and make a contribution. It gives them a chance to develop and test their strength and coordination—to learn skills, to follow rules, to stretch the outside limits of their capabilities—physical, social and intellectual. In the Special Olympics program, the whole community is involved. On Thursday, March 10th, members from different organizations and teachers from the County School System met to set up Pamlico County’s first ever Special Olympics program. The tenative date set for the meet is Friday, April 8th star ting at 9 a.m. with April 18th be ing the rain date if necessary. Five committees were set up: Games committee, Transporta tion committee, Programs Com mittee’ Promotional and Finance Committee and Refreshments Committee.

Anderson Elementary School, Mrs. McDonald & Mrs. Smith of Pamlico County Junior High School, Mr. Kenneth Bell, Counselor at Pamlico County Junior High School, Mr. Van Willis, Head of the ESEA, Title I Program, Mr. Reg Piland, 4-H lead, Rudolph Gibbs, Don Carter and myself of the Pamlico Coun ty Recreation Department, Mrs. Cheri Bond of the Oriental Recreation Department and Mr. Lee Whorton of the ASCS office.

(Photo by Jerry Raynor) Drug Enforcement Book Being Distributed By Sheriffs Department A most informative booklet on Drug Enforcement is now being distributed by the Pamlico Coun ty Sheriff’s Department as a public service. The book, made possible by local civic minded sponsors, is dedicated to the late Roger W. Fulford, described as “A faithful and excellent law en forcement officer who was killed May 15, 1969 in the line of duty while fighting illegal drugs and whiskey.” He was a deputy sheriff here at the time. In addition to a letter from Sheriff Leland V. Brinson, and an article by him entitled, “The Chain Of Law Enforcement,” the book contains a wealth of in formation on drug abuse, in cluding problems of identifica tion, slang drug terms and ten frequent indications of drug abuse. There is also a section in color, showing various drugs, stimulants and depressents, this part having been compiled by the Drug Enforcement Ad ministration, U. S.Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. No Name Change “We haven’t changed our name.. .we’re still the Boy Scouts of America,” says the East Carolina Council in response to numerous inquires based on several misleading national news stories. Scout Executive John J. Bush stated emphatically that the legal corporate name of the Boy Scouts of America had not changed and that the misunderstanding arose over the BSA’s adoption of a, new communicative symbol "usirift the words Scouting/USA, which was mistakenly reported as the new name of the 67-year-old Boy Scouts of America. The official name of the local council will continue to be East Carolina Council, Boy Scouts of America. The Council will gradually incorporate the new symbol on its printed material, signs, and other places where a strong, recognizable identifica tion is required. The BSA’s new bright red and white symbol includes a contem porary version of the traditional BSA fleur-de-lis, plus the new communicative name Scouting/USA. Together, these elements more appropriately reflect the current broadened scope of the Boy Scouts of America. Use ofthe Scouting/USA sym bol began last summer, but full implementation is expectd to take several years, accoding to John J. Bush of the East Carolina Council. The traditional fleur-de-lis of Scouting will continue in a modernized form Bush explain ed, but badges and insignia denoting advancement and of fice will not be changed. Also not changing will be the three sym bols for the Cub Scout, Scout, and Explorer phases of the total BSA program. The “new look” for Scouting/USA will help clear up confusion related to the youth and adult leaders Scouting is committed to serve, according to the findings of a 5-year study. Bush explained that Scouting serves young men and women as well as boys, and that the word “boy” was dropped from the Scout phase of the program several years ago. This was not because of any pressure from mlnorites or women’s groups. Surveys showed that the boys themselves did not like to be called boys. scorning/USA was seiecieo as the BSA’s communicative name because women are now serving aa volunteers and professionals and have full membership In the Exploring program. Also, there has been a need to Identify Scouting with the United States of America because the organization does not serve youth In South America, Mexico, Central America, and Canada. The legal corporate name, Boy Scouts of America, which was established by a Charter from Congress In 1916 (6 years after Scouting’s founding In this coun try), will still be used along with the new Scouting/USA A sym bol. >4 It also carries photos of some of the various activities of members of the Sheriff’s Department in their fight against drugs and illegal alcohol here. The final cover page car ries photos of the sheriffs of Pamlico County from 1878 until the present. The book is interesting, in formative and well organized. It should be exceedingly helpful to those seeking information about illegal drugs and drug abuse symptons. Boating Accident Claims Two Lives William Franklin Hankins, 29, and his wife, Mary Kirk Hankins, 25 of Route 9, Green ville, lost their lives in a freak boating accident Thursday afternoon at around 5:15. The ac cident ocurred near Brinson’s Landing on Baird’s Creek when another boat, being operated by Delma White of Route 1, Grant sboro, met the Hankins boat in a blind curve and in spite of efforts by Hankins to avoid the acci dent, hit the Hankins boat broad side. According to Norman Sanderson, who investigated the accident, it was the impact that killed the couple. The Hankins are survived by one daughter, who was not with them. Aboard the Delma White boat were his wife and two children, none of whom received any injuries. Quigley To Med Center Curtis Potter, Chairman of the Board oi m County Health Ser vices announced today that Dr. Michael Quigley of Greensboro will join the practice of Dr. Alan Halperin in the Aurora Medical Center this July. Potter said, “Tri County Health Services is very for tunate to have attracted a man of Dr. Quigley’s caliber. Dr. Quigley graduated magna cum laude in chemistry at the State University of New York at Fredonia in 1970. In 1973, he graduated from the Michigan State University School of Medicine. Dr. Quigley is com pleting the third year of his residency in internal medicine at the Moses Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro; he will be taking his boards in internal medicine this spring.” “Dr. Quigley is married to the former Julia Karnes of Buffalo, New York. The Quigley’s have no children. We are looking for ward to the contribution Mrs. Quigley will make to Beaufort County. She has a B. A. degree in psychology from Seton Hill Col lege in Greensburg, Penn sylvania, and a Master’s degree in educational psychology from Michigan State University. Mrs. Quigley has had extensive ex perience in working with in dividuals with learning disabilities. For the past two years she has been a psychiatric social worker in the Guilford County Mental Health Depart ment specializing in the treat ment of children. Dr. and Mrs. Quigley are both avid sailors and fishermen who are eager to move to Beaufort County and the Pamlico River.” Potter continued, “I am very pleased with the progress of our medical program. Many rural areas have to be content with foreign medical graduates, or physicians who have completed their Internships or who have In terrupted their residency train ing. It speaks well of our pro gram and the practice of Dr. Halperln that we have recruited two physicians who have com pleted their medical education, Internships and residencies in in ternal medicine. This will enable Tri County Health Services to af filiate with the ECU Medical School. Dr. Halperln and Dr. Quigley will each have faculty appointments at the Medical School; they will partictyMte In the medical education program at Greenville and train ECU medical students and residents in.the Aurora Medical Center. Their relationship with ECU will Increase the breadth of services offered to our patients as well as Improve the over-all quality pa tient care."
