Ptgt 1-Tht Pwqulmtnt Weekly. Hertford. N.C.. ThurvHy, February H, 177 Letters From Our Headers; Editor's Mailhag Snug Harbor Not :- Helter Skelter TO THE EDITOR: ' In reference to the article in the December 30, 1976 issue of The Perquimans Weekly praising Mr. T.E. . Haste Jr., concerning the land use plan. We wish to '.. take exception to the remark made about the helter , skelter of Snug Harbor. It seems that Mr. Haste was hasty in including Snug Harbor in this category. As a . : propoerty owner in Snug Harbor, Mr. Haste should . have known that we have restrictions on all of the pro- ' perty in Snug Harbor that are stricter than any other section of Perquimans County. We are the first to ad- '' mit that these restrictions have not been followed to the letter. In 1975 The Snug Harbor Property Owners Assocaition accepted control of our organization from the developer and has started enforcing these restric- . '. tions and will continue to do so. Snug Harbor Property Owners Association pays ap proximately $1,000.00 on county taxes on its recrea tional property and approximately $70,000.00 on in dividual property. Also the Association spends ap proximately $25,000.00 per year to the local mer chants. This does not include what the permanent residents, which exceeds one hundred, or weekend visitors to Snug Harbor spend in Perquimans County. We have been told by several prominent business men, both in Hertford and Perquimans County, that Snug Harbor contributed a lot to the economy of Per - quimans County. ' In the last two years we have progressed tremen- dously tnd we plan to continue until Snug Harbor is . the sho case of Perquimans County. All of the restrictions on the property in Snug Harbor, as . recorded in the courthouse, will be enforced to the best of our ability and the sanction of the courts. Therefore, we say again, we take exception to the . remark that we are a Helter Skelter community. THOMAS P. WILSON President Snug Harbor Property Owners Association P.O. Box 392 Hertford, N.C. (EDITOR'S NOTE: In the Dec. 30, 1976 edition of - this newspaper, a front page article appeared concer- ning T. Erie Haste Jr., a member of the Coastal Resources Commission. The article stated, "He ' (Haste) points out that Chowan and Perquim ans coun ties, for instance, have had some 'helter-skelter development' in the past. 'Two developments in this - area, Holiday Island and Snug Harbor have had serious problems,' asserts Haste. 'These mistakes can be avoided in the future by using the information that has been gathered in the land use plans. These plans . not only contain technical data, but reflect the desires of the people regarding the future land uses in their : areas'.") Veterans May Be Eligible -TO THE EDITOR: I Many former servicemen and women among your I readers may be eligible for additional educational entitle ; ment because of a recent revision in the GI Bill. The new law provided nine additional months of GI Bill ' eligibility to most veterans who were originally entitled to ; 36 months of VA educational assistance. ' : Because these benefits are subject to an expiration date, ;the Veterans Administration is making every effort to in jure that all eligible veterans are aware of them. Your 'assistance in alerting those who may be affected will be '. appreciated. ; 1 The new legislation does not change that portion of the law requiring that a veteran must use his GI Bill benefits .' within ten years of his discharge from service. Therefore, ; - veterans who have been out of the military service for ten : years or more are not eligible for the additional benefits. ; The Veterans Administration estimates that 6.1 million veterans are currently eligible for GI Bill benefits, in cluding 3.8 million who have used part of their eligibility and 2.3 million who have not taken advantage of it at all. ' - We are particularly anxious, however, to reach the half . million men and women who used the maximum 36 months ' ; of eligibility to which they were entitled prior to enactment ; 'of the new legislation. They may now be entitled to an addi : :tional nine months of educational benefits. - We urge all veterans eligible under the criteria outlined ' above to contact the Veterans Administration for further details of this new entitlement. :H.W.
