Corrections
The story about the governor visit
ing Perquimans County which ap
peared on Page one of last week's
Perquimans Weekly incorrectly
stated that one of the gifts presented
by the student body of Perquimans
High School was made by Lori Bar
nes. The gift in fact was made by
Lloyd L. Barnes, Jr.. We regret the
error.
Also on the editorial page the letter
to the editor was written by Marge
Ambrose, not Mary Ambrose. Again
we regret the error.
North Carolina
Legislative
Report
BY PETE THOMPSON
Activity on local bills was heavy
right before the April 15 deadline. As
a representative of several counties,
I have been working on quite a few
requests for local legislation. Many
local bills go through the committee
rather quickly while some that may
have implication for other areas of
the state have a tougher time getting
through committee.
Serving on the Agriculture Com
mittee has been very interesting.
Representative Vernon James is the
chairman and involves the full com
mittee in the process. One of the in
teresting activities that this commit
tee is looking at this year is
a qua culture, and the interest in hy
brid striped bass is growing rapidly.
North Carolina State University has
been researching the culture of the
hybrid striped bass for several years,
and they believe that they have the
program at a place to begin moving it
to demonstration ponds. The demand
by the public for this fish seems to be
already present so the production of
the hybrid bass is the holdup. This
fish will not reproduce true because
it is a hybrid. Tliis makes a hatchery
* necessary. The demonstration ponds
will be, we hope, in eastern North
Carolina at the start because most of
the present research has occured in
this area. The research will include

feeding the fish with the idea of using
lower co6t feed.At the present time,
feed cost are high but the probability
of cheaper feed is very good. Dr. Dur
wood Bateman, dean of the School of
Agriculture, feels very positive about
this program. We all believe that hy
brid striped bass has a future for
North Carolina fish farming. The
market appears to be there already
so what we have to do is to learn to
produce them in quantity at an eco
nomical cost. You probably will be
hearing quite a bit about a qua culture
in the future and I believe that re
search will really help the seafood in
dustry.

RiverSpree's Bud Light Triathlon
is sanctioned by Triathlon is sanc
tioned by Rtiathlon Federation-USA

dewater Triathlon Series. This event
was inaugurated in 1986 and had an
overwhelming response. Triathlon

tainly drawing the attention of more
triathletes.

National organ and tissue '
donor awareness week set,
The week of April 26-May 2, 1987
has been designated National Organ
and Tissue Donor Awareness Week
by President Regan.
The serious shortage of organs and
tissues for transplant is documented
almost daily in stories in the national
news media. The stories undersccore
the importance of National Organ
and Tissue Donor Awareness Week.
Officials of the Carolina Organ
Procurement Agency, which pro
vides organ and tissue recovery for
the eastern half of North Carolina,
are encouraging citizens to learn
more about the donor process to help
alleviate the great shortage.
The roots of transplantation extend
back to the 17th Century with the first
recorded blood transfusion. The first
successful organ transplant, a kidney
from a healthy identical twin, took
place in Boston in 1954. Corneal
transplants have been restoring sight
for over 70 years. Recent technical
breakthroughs, including drugs to
control rejection, have improved
medical capabilities. But the demand,
for transplantable organs and tissues
is far greater than the available or
gans and tissues.
In 1986, over 7000 people received a
kidney transplant, but over 9000 are
still waiting. The people awaiting a
kidney transplant can depend upon
dialysis until they get a kidney, but
for the hundreds needing a heart or
liver transplant, time will simply run
out. For the thousands whose sight
could be restored by the gift of e^e
donation, they wait in darkness.
Organ donors are people who die
from a severe trauma or injury to
their brain. In 1966, over 500 Nor th '
Carolinians died of brain death, yet
only 100 actually donated their or
gans to help others. Eye and tissue
donors can include anyone, irregml
less of age, vision or medical history
Daily, eye tissue is Reeded for trans
plant and preservation for emer
gency needs. Skin and bone can -be
donated to help accident and burn
victims, ease their pain and reduce
their hospital stay.
Carolina Organ Procurement
Agency, the North Carolina Eye and
Human Tissue Tank, Lions Clubs and
the National Kidney Foundation of
North Carolina are dedicated to in
creasing the public's awareness of
the organ and tissue donor program.

for a free speaker, please call 1-800
