There is Start has proved to be one of the most successful programs administered within the Albemarle Area. Pierce says that Head Startis a program for the disadvantaged low income, pre-school child. Basically, its philosophy, is that a child can benefit most from a comprehensive inter disciplinary attack on his-her problems at the local level by involving the child's entier family, as well as the community in solving his-her problems. The needs of individual children vary considerable, therefore; each component is . allowed considerable freedom in meeting those "needs' in the; light of unique community resources and priorities even when certain basic priority standards must be adhered to by all programs. Mrs. Ivadean Priest, Head Start Director, indicates through the interdisiplinary , approach, provision is made for a broad range of services for each child enrolled in the program i.e.: Education, Social Services, Parent Involvement and Health Services which include medicals; - dentals, mental health, and nutrition. The child's physical welfare is greatly improved through the Health Services. As the child's health and physical abilities improve, we find the encouragement of self confidence and self discipline which helps to develop the social and emotional health of each child. Parent Involvement seeks to draw the family into participation with daily center program, Parent Committees and Policy Committees. This helps to make that parent a direct participant in the program and brings about a greater degree of social competence in dealing with his environment and later responsibilities in school life. , It promotes an increase in the ability of the child and his family to . relate to each other and ' to others in a loving and supportive manner. It helps to create a sense of dignity and self-worth within the child and his family. ... ' . DIRECTORS MEETING The Perquimans Coflnty Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, will hold their monthly meeting Monday at 8 p.m. In the Municipal Building. The meeting will not be lengthy Important busmen will be conducted. Stuck nothing to worry about. The special legislation was passed in mid-May at the request of the jail committee and other local officials when they learned that the jail, without special legislation financed in part by the three counties, would often have to accomodate prisoners from neighboring counties that have un satisfactory detention facilities. James said he felt that the confusion stemmed from a legislative bulletin that said the House bill had been postponed indefinitely. He said that, to his knowledge, a bulletin was never issued stating that the House passed the Senate version of the bill, rather than their own. "It was a companion bill," James said. "The practice is quite common." "I want to apologize publicly to Rep. James," Fred Markham III said Sunday, Markham is a member of the jail com mittee, and the Pasquotank County Board of Com missioners. He was quoted in a newspaper as being "sur prised, shocked, and misled" at a hearing that the House had not passed the bill. "The whole thing was completely mixed up," he said, adding "none of the legislative bulletins ever mentioned the House passing the Senate version." "I was under the im pression all along that it had passed," said Jail Committee Chairman R.L. splvey " of Perquimans County. ' Another committee member, Walter Burgess o( (See JAIL J! I!

But she isn't Margaret Hamilton, she's Mrs. Betty Bass Eure, who has been working at the Hertford Bus Station for nearly seven years.

He has been quoted as saying he felt James "let us down." W.C. Owens, Elizabeth City police chief t and another committee member, said he felt the bill had passed. "I was surprised the question even came up." The jail, which opened in February, has ac commodations for 45 people. Local officials feared overcrowding should they have to accept prisoners from other counties. The facility has been housing some federal prisoners. "The federal government pays $4.50 per day. That won't even feed a prisoner," Owens said earlier. Before the bills Were passed other counties used the facility "but did not offer to pay," he said. Prisoners were sent from other areas by some district judges because jails in their counties do not have the facilities to segregate women, juvenile offenders, or first-time offenders from other prisoners. "But we object to the taxpayers of Pasquotank, Camden, and Perquimans counties footing the bill for other counties," Owens said. "The chairman of the Chowan County Board of Commissioners, Al Phillips, told me that Chowan now wants to come in with us," said Macon Johnson, chairman of the Camden County Board of com missioners.
