Funds Sought For Youth Programs All counties in Region R have requested Juvenile Justice Delin quency Prevention (JJDP) funds through the Criminal Justice Pro gram of ARPDC. Glenn Hassell, ad ministrator of the pro gram, submitted projects from the region on March 30. Funds will be used for residential care such as group homes, nonresidential care such as testing and recreation, and alternative schools. Each county is guaranteed $10,000 plus additional funds based on the population ages 10 through 17 years, from a statewide budget of $1.6 million. Camden County has re quested non-residential funds, Hyde County has requested non-residential funds and alternative schools funds, and the re maining counties have re quested alternative schools funds. Chowan County has also requested sup plementary JJDP funds for their alternative schools program already in operation. The state has set aside an addi tional $170,000 for discre tionary JJDP funding, portions of which have been requested by the counties of Currituck, Gates, Perquimans and Hyde. A start date of July 1 is anticipated for these projects. | Letter* From Our Reader*: I Editor's Mailbag Appreciation Expressed IWith the emphasis being placed on Volunteers in our society, both statewide and community wide, I thought it proper to say thank you to all the volunteers who have made our recreation program in Perquimans County so much easier to operate. Without the help of volunteers, the program would be without that spirit of helpfulness, that feeling of usefulness, that warmth that giving of yourself provides. : On behalf of all the people, who through this pro gram have been re-created in spirit, body, and mind, I personally thank you, the volunteers, for all of your efforts. Billy Wooten director Perquimans County Parks and Recreation Dept. Give Credit Where Due As a former resident of Perquimans County, I look forward to receiving my Perquimans Weekly. I Would like to know what it takes to make the front page? In your April 12 issue on page 6, there was in article that really struck home to me. It was about the "Bike-A-Thon" the Perquimans County jaycees ran on April 7. I grew up in Perquimans County and lived there twenty-four years. I do not remember a project run by any organization in the county that raised over |5,000 and involved so many people for a charitable cause. I was proud of those boys, because I was once a Perquimans County Jaycee. Do you know what it takes to successfully run a project of this caliber? The time, energy, that gut motivation that those Jaycees put into that project will remain with them foever. : Let's not give all the credit to the Jaycees. The kids that hustled so hard to get sponsors and then rode the distance, deserve a big pat on the back. Because without them the project would not have gotten off the ground. And what about the people that sponsored someone in this project? Let's give them a pat on the back also. Again without their help the project would not have made it. Again I ask, do you know what it takes to suc cessfully run a project of this caliber? It takes hun dreds of people, thousands of dollars, hours and hours of hard work and Jaycees to run a project of this caliber. You see, I know what it takes to run this type of project, I am a Jaycee. Don't you think that kind of news, "Good News"; deserves front page space? Respectfully, LeeTunnell "A Mattamuskeet Jaycee" Swan Quarter, N.C. Editor's Note The Perquimans Week ly has received several inquiries concerning the awarding of prizes to participants in the recent Bike-A-Thon. ; An article will be printed in next week's edition listing award red f pients and the charitable donations they were responsible for collecting. According to a spokesman for the spon soring Jaycees, "the delay is due to the time required to collect the pledged amounts." The Perquimans Weekly Court House Square, Hertford, N.C. 27944.

Whitley about the turtles on the log at the causeway. Mrs. Whitley, who is 84, remembers that when crossing over the bridge every Spring, her mama would comment on the turtles being there again. Mrs. Whitley, "Mick" to her friends, said the log hasn't changed a bit, either. But the transporta tion has. When Mick's father, W.F.C. Edwards, became Registrar of Deeds, they moved to Hertford from Winfall and lived at Covent Garden where the Wayne Ashleys live now. She remembers those many trips over the bridge in her teens, when everyone who traveled that way still used a horse and buggy. What is now Highway 17, stayed under water most of the time from the high tides. The water was hard on those newfangled automobiles. "The one good thing about a horse and buggy was that it never stalled," she reminisced. District Court Cases Are Heard Judge John T.

Talmadge in spon soring legislation to permit the Department of Agriculture to waive or reduce over-marketing penalties against peanut producers resulting from unintentional record-keeping errors. Helms, Ranking Minority Member of the Agriculture Committee, said that unless such legisla tion is enacted, hundreds of peanut farmers will be liable for penalties totalling several hundred thou- | sand dollars. He said penalties for individual farmers could range from a few dollars to several thousand. Helms said, "Certain errors, beyond the control of farmers, were made in recording the exact number of pounds marketed at the time of sale. Because the figures were not complete, many farmers continued to market their crop in good faith even though they may have already reached their allotted poundage." Under the provisions of the new peanut program, enacted in 1977, USDA has no discretionary authori ty to waive or reduce penalties for over-marketing of a farm's peanut quota even in cases where the over-marketing was the result of unintentional human error. Peanuts marketed in excess of a farm quota are subject to a penalty of about 25 cents per pound ? 120 percent of the price support level. Helms emphasized that "it is not the intent of this amendment to excuse or lighten the burden of any person who intentionally or knowingly marketed peanuts in excess of his poundage allotment.
