Already, a rally has been held at the Ramada Inn in ,New Bern.

Moore said tickets for the rally will go on sale this week, and that he expects a big crowd. He said program plans for the rally will also be an nounced in the near future. Meanwhile, William H. (Bill) Page of Washington, President of the Highway 17 Association, expressed a growing concern on a lack of planning on 17 by the N.C. Department of Tran sportation. "We need a plan for the development of our highway from Virginia to South Carolina," Page urged. "Unless we have a plan, we're going to get a hodgepodge of little improvement projects along the route that will result in it being just as bad as it is now," he explained. He said that the DOT appears to be reluctant to develop such a plan and he called on Governor Jim Hunt to urge some action in this direction. Page commended those planning the rally at Edenton. "This rally is for folks along 17 from Williamston to Elizabeth City," Page pointed out. He said they could inquire about tickets at their Cambers of Commerce. The tickets are $5 each. Page said a third rally is being planed in the Wilmington area for a later date. m ? ? Helms speaks out against stamp fraud 'ailing the food stamp ^program "the most visible ^.-example of bureaucratic ^mismanagement that exists jfioday," Senator Jesse Helms ?-4ed the Senate to adopt four -vHelms amendments designed *^to "reduce fraud and abuse in tHhe food stamp program, saving the taxpayers millions |?of dollars." fjp Jhe four amendments were ^attached to legislation Helms ;'4dpposed strenuously, a bill ^increasing authorizations for ^jncreased spending for the v^food stamp program by as ?>much as $999 million more for ?vlood stamps in the remainder ^-~of 1979. The supplemental food ^stamp bill authorized spen ^ ding for fiscal year 1979 to *^$1,116.9 million. t; The Helms amendments are the latest in a series of efforts f by Helms to "restore control i : and fiscal responsibility to the * -management of the food % stamp program'" Costs of the "vprogram have risen ^astronomically in recent 1-years, increasing by 25% in ?the first three months of 1979 j^ahme, Helms said. He put t?much o t the blame of the in ~ ^creased costs on ''malad ?v ministration of the food stamp by officials of Food and Nutrition an unsuccessful ther bill, Helms had amendment seeking to reduce appropriations to a level recommended by the Congressional Budget Office. Helms amendment would have reduced authorizations almost by $330 million, but would have permitted the spending of over one billion dollars more than the original $5.7 billion appropriated for 1979 late last year. Using a different approach this week. Helms successfully proposed that the Congress take the initiative in requiring USDA's Food and Nutrition Service to permit the States more authority in tracking down fraud and abuse. The Helms amendments provide that State food stamp ad ministrators may be more thorough in checking eligibility of applicants than FNS rules now provide; that States mayrequire a Social Security number for iden tification and verifying in come; that the States may keep a portion of the money saved through vigorous pursuit of fraud; and that recipients of food stamps who commit fraud shall com pensate the government for stamps fraudently received. Helms said, "In each of these instances, there is ab solutely do excuse for any delay in making these changes. 3*- The Perquimans Weekly Court House Square, Hertford, N.C. 27944.

Coastal resources establishes ? . > ?? *n i guidelines for updating ground use Guidelines for updating the coastal area land use plans were adopted by the Coastal Resources Commission at its July 18 meeting in New Bern. Beginning this September, coastal localities will begin updating their land use plans as part of their participation in the N.C. Coastal Manage ment Program. The updating of the land use plans will center on developing and adopting community policies on key coastal issues. Localities will be asked to discuss these issues as they are related to their communities to set out alter natives for addressing these issues; to adopt community policies on the issues; and to explain how the policies adopted will be carried out. Issues dealing with the protection of natural resources, management of productive resources, and community growth and development are to be covered in the plan up dates. Localities will analyie the constraints on developing land areas, such as soil types, flood-prone areas, and cultural resources. They will be considering what types of develop ment are suitable for areas of environmental concern (AECs) and other fragile areas, such as fresh water swamps, maritime forests, or local historic sites. Localities will be looking at the importance to the com munity of agriculture, forestry, mining, fishing, the use of off-road vehicles, ahd recreational resources. What are the costs and benefits of such development as housing, com mercial structures, industry? Do localities want to redevelop areas? What is their position on erosion control, to public access to beaches, to highway improvements, and , to energy facility siting and developments?
