Community news _ 1 Wildlife resources commission is in need of old Christmas trees I The North Carolina Wildlife Re sources Commission needs discarded Christmas trees for constructing .brush shelters. Brush shelters, or fish attractors, are constructed by ; lushing several Christmas trees to gether and anchoring them in acces . sible shallow areas around lakes and streams. The brush shelters will be clearly marked to allow anglers to easily identify structure locations. Brush shelters provide valuable cover for forage fish, which tend to concentrate around the shelter for food and protection from predators. Sport fish such as largemouth bass, crappie, and white perch also tend to concentrate around brush shelters because of the concentrated food sup ply. All decorations and tinsel should be removed from the trees. You may take your trees to the following areas by January 3, 1988. Please place the trees near the painted signs. l .Edenton - Wildlife Depot -4 miles off of Highway 32 on Airport Road 2.

NNCT selected to participate in new state three year arts project Atlanta? Northeastern North Car olina Tomorrow, Inc. (NNCT) is one of two N. C. organizations selected to participate in a Southeastern, three year experimental arts development project. Announcement of the selec tion by the Southern Arts Federation (SAF) was recently made in Atlanta by Scott Sanders of Columbia, S.C. Chairperson of the SAF Board of Di rectors, and Adrian King, Acting SAF Director. The Federation program, known as a Rural and Minority Arts Regional Initiative, is designed to assist such organizations as NNCT build stronger local and regional bonds, and in the process, to help further their artistic growth and presenta tion objectives. Mr. Isaac Battle of Gatesville, Chairman of the Board of NNCT, re cently expressed his pleasure at I NNCT's selection. "NNCT is very honored to be a participant in this ru ral arts initiative. Our organization will work hard with regional rep resentatives and interested groups and individuals to promote the arts through this program." Mr. Battle and Mr. Phil McMullan, Jr., Executive Director of NNCT, traveled to Frogmore, S. C. in Octo ber at the invitation of SAF to learn more about the program. Mc. Shirley i Brown, Research Associate of NNCT, has also been involved with the implementation of the program. She recently attended workshops on "Nurturing the Arts in the Rural South" in Myrtle Beach, S. C. Northeastern North Carolina To morrow, based at Elizabeth City State University, is a non-profit orga nization chartered by the state to serve 16 counties. In working with SAF, one of the organizations's new goals is to initiate a cohesive ap proach to the cultural enrichment and development of indigenous arts , in the area. NNCT plans to select two people from each of its sixteen northeastern counties to serve on an Advisory Board for the project. Anyone inter ested may contact NNCT (335-3494) or local NNCT Board membrs. The SAF Advisory Board and other inter ested persons will be invited to par ticipate in a kick-off luncheon sched uled for January 21st at ECSU. For more information, please call NNCT. "It's an arts AND organizational development initiative," Sanders and King said in a joint statement, "founded upon the proposition that the arts are basic to the texture of life in the Southeast. There's also a philosophical 're search and development' thrust in the project, not unlike activity found in the private sector when corpora tions invest capital to evaluate and fine tune products and services of fered to their consumers. "Minority arts aspirations and a desire for the arts in all their forms, in the rural South, deserve and need this extra 'research and devel opment' support to be demonstrated through this initiative," they added. Sanders and King explained the role of the Federation's Initiative as catalytic: -"To help the North Carolina Black Repertory Company and Northeastern North Carolina Tomor row unlock local and regional re sources, clearly including local civic support, for their own special artistic resources and objectives, and -"And in the process, to test the theory that an unusual level of inten sive, on-going support from private and public sources at the local, state, regional and national levels can make a real difference in raising the level of artistic capacity and expec tation. "As a research project, we hope the Initiative will serve as a model of what's possible in many parts of the country," they said. The Federation's Initiative is being supported by the National Endow ment for the Arts, the SAF's nine Member-State Arts Agencies includ ing the North Carolina Arts Council; and the Lyndhurst Foundation based in Chattanooga, TN. Sanders and King said development of the unusual Initiative for rural and minority arts development has earned attention by arts and other organizations through out the United States. The effort, being directed by John Eaton, director of the Federation's Special Development Services Pro gram ; and Sharon King, SAF's Rural Arts Co-ordinator, not only will pro vide consultations and eventually some funding, but also will permit the two North Carolina organizations to work closely throughout the three year project with colleague organiza tions throughout the region. Hie North Carolina Black Reper tory Company will share resources and collaboration with Theater Workshop of Louisville, a Black the ater company in Louisville, Ky.; and Northeastern North Carolina Tomor row will collaborate with Appals hop, Inc., in Whitesburg, Ky. Further, the two North Carolina or ganizations will meet periodicaly with the other 16 rural and minority arts organizations participating in the Initiative in the Federation's re gion of AL, FL, FA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SCandTN. "This institutionalizes the concept of networking among centers in rural areas of the South, and among the se lected minority theater companies, permitting an on-going dialogue among similar organizations with similar arts aspirations, to share with each other what works and what doesn't work as they grapple with their own futures," Sanders and King said. "What is developing here is an un usual, collectively-designed, regional support system for rural and mi nority arts organizations as they work, largely in an independent way, to build support for and to celebrate the arts in their communities. This is one of the most valuable components in the Initiative," they added. The first of the regional networking conferences was held last week at the historic Penn Center in Frogmore, S.C. when 45 individuals, represent ing the 18 participating organiza tions, the Federation's member states, and experts in several fields gathered with Federation leaders to launch the model Regional Initiative. Larry Leon Hamolin of Winston Salem, Executive-Artistic Director, represented North Carolina Black Repertory Company at the Frogmore conference; and Philip McMullan, Jr., Executive Director, represented Northeastern North Carolina Tomor row at the conference. The North Carolina Black Reper tory Company's programming is deeply rooted in experiences of the African- American community. The Winston-Salem based group tours the state with five productions for nine months, has a resident playwright's program and it develops new works. In all, 18 organizations in the South east are participating in the Regional Initiative: 10 centers in rural areas of their states concerned with support for the arts in mul ti -county regions, and eight minority theater compa nies, located primarily in urban areas of the South. The Southern Arts Federation was founded in 1975 to promote cultural development in the Southeast. It is a private organizaiton funded by and working closely with its member State Arts Agencies in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Loui siana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee; the Na tional Endowment for the Arts in Washington, D.C.; and private sup porters. Our weekly constitution corner by Charles W. Lowry D.Phil. (Oxm). D.D. ! The Constitution is completed. It is adopted and signed by 39 of the 42 del egates present, representing 12 ? States. Rhode Island was at no point ; represented in the Convention at Philadelphia. The new Charter is re | ady to be sent to the reigning Con i gress in Washington and to the 13 States for their ratification or decli nation through special conventions to ; be established for that purpose. What is this new Constitution? What does it propose with respect to ; a Government for the infant Repub ? lie, the United States of America? ? ? First, in a noble preamble the gen - eral objectives of Government and of > ! this particular constitutional instru ?' ment are summarized. "WE THE ? PEOPLE of the United States, in Or I der to form a more perfect Union, es ' tablish Justice, insure domestic ? Tranquility, provide for the common 4 I n?. ??? ri ? ? mi-hlljiJjl iluk II/aI . defence, pronioie ine general wei fare, and secure the Blessings of Ub ! erty to ourselves and our Posterity, ; do ordaia and establish this Constitu tion for tfc? United Stats* of Am* I lea." This in a plain and business hka Periods were used somewhat differ ent in that day, as they were to my knowledge by Englishmen like Fred erick and William Temple, father and son, and both Archbishops of Canterbury -at the turn of the past century and in the first half of this century. Next comes SECTION. I. and the words "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which thall con sist of a Senate and Houae of Rep resentatives." Under following sec tions the legislative Power is fully dealt with. This article is by a good deal the fewest in the Constitution ARTICLE II This Article deals with the executive Power, vested in a President; and it treats also of the Vice President. This article is just a little more than a third as long as Ar ticle I. ARTICLE III. treats of the ju dicial Power, vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as Congress "may from time to time or dain and establish." This article is very short. This first, striking mark of the Con stitution is its clear separation of the three basic Powers: legislative, ex ecutive and judicial.
