Twelve club members and eight parents made the most enjoyable trip. Our first stop was Kilcastle Farms in Apex, N. C. operated by Norbit Watts who pre sented a demonstration on driving and training a horse to drive. Mr. Watts, a skilled horse trainer, kept everyones attention then gave all the 4-Her's a ride. The next stop on the tour was to Apex Veternarian Hospi tal. Dr. Barbara conducted a tour first through the small animal fa cility explaining some of the proce dures they do for animals. We then moved on to the larg animal section Dr. Barbara showed x-rays on horses leg bones and explained problems and diseases usually associated. She also explained what had been done or was being done to each of the horses in the hospital at that time. We also had the opportunity to observe sur gery being preformed on a young calf. Dr. Barbara talked and showed us some facts on artifical insemina tion and embryo transplants. The tour was quite a learning experience. After visiting Crabtree Valley Mall and staying over at the Ramada Inn, we continued our tour on Thursday at the N. C. State College Vet School. Our guide there showed us a slide presentation about the school and ex plained some of the criteria for enter ing as a student, some background information on some of it's students and some of what the school has to offer. We went on a tour of the school from classrooms to observation rooms to examination and surgery rooms. After leaving the Vet School and Raleigh area, we went to Wilson to Jimmy Johnson's farm who also pre sented a demonstration to the group touching on several topics from conf rontation of the horse, showmanship, training of horse and rider and proper attire of exhabitor. The trip was a success for all twenty persons attending. I thank all who support the 4-H Horse program and made this trip possible. These 4 Her's are not all from Perquimans County. There are some from Cho wan County, Washington County and Beaufort County also, but they are members of our club in Perquimans. These children are so well mannered and such good listeners, it was a de light to say we all represented Per quimans County. Area service news MARSHALL R. OWENS, III Air Force Staff Sgt. Marshall R.

Partners with youth in need of volunteers The first and foremost aim of Part ners With Youth is to work as a post ive force in combating the commu nity problem of juvenile delinquency. When we speak of delinquency, we deal with something left undone, mainly through failure or neglect to do what duty or the law requires. In this sense, juvenile antisocial behav ior represents a "going away from" the social standard or a "leaving something undone" in the obser vance of the same standard. In general, there are two ways of dealing with the problem: a) negati vely through the use of repression and confinement; b) positively by reaching out in some way to the youth involved. The Partners With Youth operates with a positive approach-the hands of its volunteers are extended in friendship to those youth affected by the court system because of their an tisocial behavior. Specifically, the reaching out process entails 1) the re ferral by the Court Counselor of a youth to the program; 2) the match ing of the youth with a volunteer adult according to gender and race. Volunteers all come out of the same mold in one respect - they all have the same desire to give of them selves wholeheartedly for four hours each week and for an entire year, ex tending the hands and heart of friendship to "their" youth. Coming out of the same mold however does not imply sameness in every respect. Valendan bottles, cast from 200 year-old molds, have been the same for 900 years. But let the sun hit them and they take on a beautiful life of their own. So it is with our volunteers ? once matched, each friendship takes on a life of its own. Hie friendship we speak of is a means towards an end. Means are not justified by ends; rather they must be good and properly designed to achieve attain the desired effect la 1000 Just as in post yean we are in need of volunteers and we need fi nancial hdn. Since the nrooram deals with juvenile delinquency on a local lovnl, all our volunteers and 35 portent sf our funding must be local. If you an interested in either of both of thane aspects of the Perqui program, more Information is avail able - jost call 91MB-3BN, visit our t office on the 2nd floor of the Old Courthouse in Edenton, or write Partners With Youth, P. O. Box 493, Edenton, N. C. 27932. Our hopes are that 1988 will give us the opportunity of serving our Per quimans and Chowan communities more efficiently through our Gover nor's One-On-One program, aimed so specifically at alleviating the prob lem of juvenile delinquency in the State.

Rep. Bob Etheridge an nounced his candidacy for the office of State Superintendent of Public In struction Tuesday. "I believe the future of North Caro lina will be determined by what we do now to improve public schools," Rep. Etheridge said. "Creating higher paying jobs, breaking the cycle of illiteracy and proverty and improving the quality of life for all citizens are urgent goals for out state," Etheridge added. "The key to achieving these goals is our ability to improve the learning that takes place in the classrooms of North Carolina public schools." "I am a parent who values educa tion. As a member of the General As sembly for ten years, I have been on the leading edge of the fight for bet ter schools during that period. "I know what is needed at the local level. During my tenure as Chairman of the Harnett County Board of Com missioners, we launched the most ambitious school building program in the history of the county. Already it has begun to produce results. "During my tenure in the Legis lature I actively supported a number of major initiatives to improve edu cation, including the braod program we call the Basic Education Pro gram. Etheridge's first public appear ance Tuesday began at a breakfast among Harnett County friends and neighbors at Harnett Central High r i School, one of the county's new schools begun during his term on the Board of Commissioners. "Because of my experience as a legislator, as a local official, as a businessman and as a parent, I can provide the leadership that is needed in our public schools," Etheridge said. "I want to provide that lead ership." "Our schools face a period of great challenge." There are a number of issues we must address. "The at-risk student must be en couraged to stay in school and take advantage of benefits of a high school diploma and the knowlege which comes with it." "We must reduce the number of intrusions in the classroom which in terfere with the learning process be tween teacher and student." "We must encourage parents who have not taken a direct interest in their children's school achievements to do so." "We must address the issue of ac countability in a broad way." "We must focus on excellence and require absolutely the best perfor mance by every education employee in North Carolina." "And finally, we must provide leadership to find innovative solu tions to these and other challenges facing our public schools in the next few years." #lon JRonumentB, 3nc.
