Veterans
Veterans Day, Wednesday,
November 11, has been declared
a day to observe "Peace With
Honor". Join in your local
Veterans Day observance of the
courage and dedication of those
who gave so much to keep our
country free.
Today we honor the men and
women who have worn the
uniform of their country and who
do so at this moment.
We have set aside one day of
the year, Veterans Day, so that
all Americans can pause in their
daily living to say "thank you" to
those who have fought and died
for our freedom. Today is that
day, Veterans Day, 1970. : : :
Veterans differ from other
Americans only because at one
time in their lives they wore the
uniform of their country in its
time of need. They live all about
us nearly 28 million of them as
policemen, teachers, doctors,
nurses, Judges, Congressmen,
Senators and even Presidents.
AH know the full meaning of
America and freedom.
"Veterans are truly
peacemakers. They fought
asainst those trying to destroy it
from Jamestown and Yorktown
in the Revolutionary war - to
Vietnam today. y ; y

those who fight them want to die

courage and the love for their
country that compels them to
respond.
Freedom has a price tag on it.
All Americans must help pay
that price in one way or another.
Strong and courageous
Americans pay it by wearing the
uniform of their country.-Those
of us who stay at home pay in
sacrificing some of the comforts
and conveniences of life.
Those of us who are not called
to service can help in other ways.
We can try to understand the
reasons why we must defend
freedom and insist on peace. We
can pledge our support for those
on the battlefield, whether we
agree or not on the reasons why
they are there. We can make
known our objections, if , we
express them in a peaceful
manner.
We must as Americans be
careful how we weigh the claims
in other lands about bow much
better their forms of government
are than our own. Some nations
boast of more freedom and

and Dangerous Drugs held at
Abuse Seminars, October 27,
According to Mr. Royal Epps,
drugs are found in many forms:
powder, tablet, capsule, liquid,
crystalline, and vegetable. These
are produced in a wide variety of
sizes, shapes and color. The
drugs are classed as Narcotic
(Heroin, Demerol) ;
Hallucinogenic (L.S.D.,
Mariana)
Sedative. .Bar
biturates) ; Stimulant (Am
phetamine) and Toxic Vapors
(Glue, gasoline). The dudiic,
parents, adults and all concerned
should become familiar with the
stymptoms of drug use states
Mrs. Taylor. Some of the symp
toms of Drug use are as follows:
Individual admits he is an addict
or
user; Sudden unexplained
change in personality and
habits: Associating with drug
ust rs', Possession of illegal
drugs; Knowledge of jargon used
by the drug underworld ;
Individual appears "dopey" or
"drunk" ; Failure to hold a job or
stay in school.
This is a suggested solution for
illegal use of drugs: Don't start!
If you are using drugs illegally
STOP! Get the facts Don't rely
on rumor. Make your voice
heard. Speak out against illegal
drug use. Report suspected
violations to the police - Your
name will be held in confidence.
Mrs. Taylor would like to
thank principals Mr. J. F
Dempsey, Mr. W. D. Tice, and
Mr. W. E. Byrum, for the
cooperative spirit shared in
helping to make the seminars a
success.

"The rising expectation in
cancer research could be
hampered by lack of support. We
aren't going to let that happen! "
Mrs. Carol Harrell, chairman
of the American Cancer
Society's Oct. 1970 Crusade in
Perquimans County explained,
"This is a crisis situation. The
Federal Government is holding
the line on its research support.
The American Cancer Soceity is
being deluged with grant
requests, worthwhile research
that can't be pursued because of
lack of funds.
"Each year the cost of
research in progress rises by
more than eight percent, the way
the cost of living increases. That
means we must raise at least
that much more money just to

Oriqindl Air Force
Art To Be Exhibited
- 1PI j Bill
A unique and fascinating view
of Air Force life as seen through
the eyes of some of America's
foremost artists and illustrators
will be available to visitors to the
United State Air Force Art
Exhibit at Southgate Mall,
Elizabeth City, Nov. 6-11.
Often described as "in
triguing" and "pleasantly dif
ferent" by both art critics and
viewers, the exhibit is a selection
of some 40 paintings from the
more than 3,000 in the official Air
Force Art Collection.
Paintings in this exhibition
depict a panorama of Air Force
activities; the launch of a
Minuteman missile, ground
crews waiting for their pilot to
return from a combat mission, a
giant jet transport taking aboard
wounded soldiers, the portrait of
a famous general.
The USAF Art Collection
documents the story of the Air
Force through the universal
language of art. Paintings in the
collection record the history and
development of the Air Force
from the first aerial combats of
World War I through the modern
age of supersonic jets and space
flight. But the collection does
more than provide a historical
perspective. It is also a "now"

The collection began with the
acquisition of nearly 300 paint
ings in 1950. In 1951 another 800
paintings reflecting the Army
Air Corps role in World War II
were transferred from the U. S.
Army. '
Of the more than 3,000 works of
art currently possessed, more
than half have been contributed
since 1954 by members of the
Society of illlustrators of New

artists make field trips to cover
Air Force activities around the
world. Last year (1969) their
efforts added 208 paintings to the
collection - all donated to the Air
