In coming to these con clusions such things as the Climate, scenery, natural areas, sbUs, water areas, proximities tb cities and the like were taken Into consideration, t The study indicates that the county has a lot of potential and shows that it should be developed. Veterans Administration Starting January 1, 1972, the . deductible under the Medicare hospital insurance will be $f8. "This means that the Medicare patient admitted to $c hospital after December :il Will be responsible for the first tC8 of the hospital bill." The deductible was $B0.

C, Thursday, February 3, 1972 For Hunting, Fishing And Historical In discussing vacation cabins, cottages and home sites the study notes that "the shore line along Yeopim River, Perquimans River, Little River and the Albemarle Sound af fords a good potential for this type of enterprise. "Also," it adds, "the con struction of canals in low areas adjoining streams would provide a substantial number of sites." ;,. Approximately the same reasons were given in pointing out that the county is ideal for location of camping grounds, and picnic and fields sports areas. The study pointed out that fisherman can have their pick of striped bass, large mouth bass, bream, crappie, white perch, robin, yellow perch, fliers, pickerel and war mouth all from Perquimans County waters. Ironically, it was stated that the potential for development of warm water fishing was rated medium but only because, "the waters in this area are well stocked with fish and the fishing is good." Asimilarstatementnotes that, "the potential for fish population was rated very poor, because the waters are already well populated." The report described the potential for smallgame, big game and waterfowl hunting as high and said the county was ideal for going after quail, squirrel, rabbit and dove (smallgame); deer (big game) and various species of duck and geese (waterfowl). In its report on natural, scenic and historic areas the study notes that the county has the potential to develop some of its natural areas; scenery was rated as good; access roads, excellent, the same rating given the county's historical sites. "Perquimans County, one of the state's earliest settled areas, was organized before 1670," the report said adding, February Is Restoration Month In Perquimans The Goal $5,000 February is Restoration Month in Perquimans County. The goal is to raise $5,000 so that matching funds can be gotten to help the Restoration Association in its efforts torestore the Newbold-White House, oldest in the state. Once restored, it will be an excellent tourist attraction - and that means a boon to the county's economy. It also means the county plays a continuing role of import concerning our state's history. One money-raising event will be a dance on Sat. February 19, with music by Jimmy Hufton and his orchestra. Price of admission is $10 per couple and it will be held in the Perquimans County High School gym nasium. So, all you gals who've been complaining that the old man doesn t take you dancing anymore-now is you op portunity. On Friday, March 3 a com bination bridge-rook party will be held. Price of admission and location of the party will be Perquimans "it was the birthplace of organized religion in North Carolina and the home of many eighteenth century political leaders.. "With its large number of historic wites and buildings, including several of the oldest homes in the state (such as the oldest, the Newbold-White House), Perquimans has a very high potential for development of its historic areas," the report said. Something different for the county, but with potential that has never been studied much before, is the idea of vacation farms. They offer the opportunity "to get back to the ountry," the report said adding that, "the vacationing family pays for the right to live with the country family, eat country-styled food, and take part in normal day to day farm activities-both work and recreation." (This may not sound like much to families in this area who view this as normal, but to those crowded into cities, Linda Evans And Ellen Long Nominees For Reynolds Scholarship Alumnae committees ap pointed for every county in North Carolina are interviewing this month more than 300 nominees for the Katharine Smith Reynolds Scholarships at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

For Puffers After years of controversy, it was finally established beyond doubt in the sixties that cigarette smoking caused many fatal illnesses. As a result, manufacturers were required to print warn ings on packages and Con gress banned glamorous (and nonsensical) cigarette com mercials from the nation's TV screens. Now the Surgeon General has warned America that even the smoke of others, if in an enclosed area, such as a car, bus, train or plane, is also dangerous. The danger stems from carbon monoxide-which is what puffers turn the air into when they smoke. Carbon monoxide combines with the hemoglobin of blood to prevent it from carrying out its normal function of transporting oxygen. And tests show that when the carbon monoxide level ia raised to fifty parts per mil lion, possible in a small room after ninety minutes of smoking, bodily functions are slowed. Tests also show that ten cigarettes smoked in a closed automobile are sufficientr-the carbon mon oxide produced-to affect eye and hand coordination. Though millions have given up the dirty, dangerous habit, which can kill, this latest revelation from Surgeon Gen eral Jesse Steinfeld should bring the light of truth home to additional millions. Elms Back As lovers of outdoor beau ty know, this nation was once graced by millions of stately elm trees. In the sec ond decade of this country Dutch elm disease began to wipe out these trees, until today few are standing. In 1967 a group led by Senator Harold Hughes (D Iowa) began a campaign to save the remaining trees and, it's reported, the effort has now produced results. By the fall of this year ex perts at Cornell University expect to have seedlings re sistant to Dutch elm disease available for planting. ' Much beauty will thus be returned to our towns, cities , and countryside, by the re turn of the elm. ' And, as ., chestnut trees also make their comeback, America will become more and more beautiful, if we work at it UJS. Savings Bonds . Sales Set Record High During 1971 The U.S. Savings Bonds Program experienced its most successful peace-time year in North Carolina during 1971.

Bond sales alone amounted to $73,907,692, an increase of 16.7 per cent over the previous year's record. In Payroll Savings promotions, more than 51.000 new savers were added to the Payroll Savings Plan, and the state continues to be a leader in the amount of support devoted to the Savings Bonds Program by news and advertising media. There were ninety-one counties which made 100 per cent of their annual quota for 1971. and the others came, close to 100 per cent. Mecklenburg County led the state with sales of S9.371.943. followed by Guilford with $7,119,555. For sy' ith $5,809,865. and Wake with $4,884,929. In making this release R.L. Steven.

The first was the Budget Message for fiscal year '73 delivered to the Congress on Monday, January 24 in which he presented a total figure of $246 billion. If ap proved, it would carry a $25 billion deficit. Approximately 80 per cent of this would be in two specific areas: the first, $78.3 billion for national defense; and $110.9 billion for human resources this includes education, health, programs for the elderly, unemployed and low income citizens. Another item of interest in the proposed budget is $2.3 billion to fight an increasing crime rate, in cluding an attack on the ever growing problem of drugs. Some have predicted that if the budget should be approved by the Congress, the deficit would be $38 billion rather than the $25 billion estimated by the Ad ministration. The other Presidential ap pearance which was of world wide significance, was his announcement Tuesday night of the firm offer to North Vietnam for a cessession of our par ticipation in Vietnam. Regardless of the position one might have taken in the past, most admit that the president has done all possible to bring about our withdrawal from this engagement. The proposal included one which I cannot support, and that was his offer to "rebuild both North and South Vietnam," with the American taxpayers' dollars. This nation cannot afford any longer to attempt to solve the problems of the entire world with our own finances. The important legislation considered by the House last week was the Conference Report on the Foreign Aid appropriations bill for the current fiscal year. 'Again I voted no on final passage, but again the report was approved. During the week I introduced a bill which will permit the transfer of tobacco allotments across county lines or at any Join in our bargain-filled J. JL-.w. 30t N.
