Local News Duke professor begins lecture at COA ELIZABETH CITY -An award winning Rhodes scholar from Duke University will initiate the 1987 hu manities series, "The Way We Lived in North Carolina," at 7 p.m. on Tues day, March 24 in the lecture audito rium at College of The Albemarle. History professor Peter Wood will introduce local residents to "The Earliest Carolinians." Wood was co recipient of the James Harvey Robin son Prize from the American Histori cal Association for "The Way We Lived in North Carolina" series.

Wood will examine how the first Carolinians lived and how their cul tures changed. He also will contrast the attitudes and expectations of the early residents of the state with those of European explorers in the 16th century. The comprehensive, 10-week pro gram of presentations by prominent historians, reading and discussions, and historic site tours is jointly spon sored by the University of North Car olina at Charlotte, the North Carolina Humanities Committee, COA, and Museum of the Albemarle. This is the sixth year the community college has presented the humanities programs.

Toms, Jr., North Carolina Power District Manager. Toms said that the utility requests that customers give it advance notice depending upon the type of work that will have to be performed to provide service. "We ask that a customer give us only 24 hours notice if we will be turning on an. existing service, but we ask for at least three weeks notice if we will be running a new service drop," he said. According to Toms, the utility schedules some work weeks or even months in advance because of a large number of service requests and to en sure that construction materials are available when they are needed. If the utility isn't given enough advance notice, sometimes delays in provid ing service can result.
