Chamber of Commerce president outlines plans for the coming year Newly -elected Perquimans County Chamber of Commerce president H.R. Christensen outlined some of his plans for coming year during the Chamber's regular meeting Monday night in Hertford. Christensen presented some am bitious ideas to the members of Chamber's board. Among his plans he would Uke to see the Chamber do are to start a farmer's market for local produce, sponsor a business training program for to educate local businessmen on new ways of running their businesses, start a clean-up program throughout Hertford's business district, and establish a far more detailed budgeting system for the Chamber's money. Christensen also noted that the Chamber needs to a much better job in its membership drive. The response so far has been "less than gratifying" he said, adding that many potential members are not even being contacted about joining the Chamber. At Christensen's suggestion, the Chamber will begin a greater effort locating and contacting businesses, working through board members in each area of the county. Training local merchants in new business practices was another project Christensen plans next year. "You can't run a business today like you did 20 years ago," he said. Board member Mary Harrell added. "Yd can tell when you go into a town thai has had these sessions." The farmer's market is one o! several ways Christensen would like to attract new traffic to the town. Other ideas were "a program to fix up and spruce up the town, painting, grass mowing and cleaning up." Mayor Bill Cox agreed with him. "This would be a big help to both the town and the county," he said. Christensen also suggested that the Chamber encourage the county to lease the Blanchard Building on Church Street to a business "that involves traffic." The county now owns the vacant Blanchard Building.

State patrol recommends careful driving: during X-mas I: Crime Control and Public Safety Secretary Burley B. Mitchell, Jr., today joined Highway Patrol Com mander John T. Jenkins in reminding Tarheel motorists of the dangers of the approaching holidays. "These two holiday periods are among our most dangerous of the year." Mitchell said. Failure to drive within the posted speed limit and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs are the two most common and dangerous violations during the holidays, according to Mitchell. "These two violations continue to be responsible for more deaths than any other violation," he said.
