VEPCO Asks Rate Boost

RALEIGH (AP) - Virginia Electric Power Co. says It needs a rate increase of 12.7 per cait in North Carolina to meet increased costs and earn a fair return of return on its investment.

The company said in an application fUed Thursday with the State UtUitles Commission the rate hike would bring in approximately $6.6 million annually.

Vepco President T. Justin Moore Jr., said in a prepared statement, Vepco has worked diligentiy to controi cost, but most of the increases in both construction and operating cost are beyond the companys controi. If the company is to continue to build to provide the electric service required by its customers in North Carolina, it cannot avoid the debilitating effects of inflation.

The company cited figures which showed that for the 12 months ended last June, it earned a rate of return on book

common equity of 9.61 per cent on its North Carolina operations. It said this is nearly 4 per cent below the 13.57 per cent level approved by the commission in Vepcos iast rate case.

Such a substantiai deficiency must be corrected promptly,'* Moore said. He termed the present rates in North Caroiina insufficient, unjust and unreasonable."

The proposed increaa^for a residential customer using 750 kilowatt nours a montp would be $5.69 in the summer months, June through September, and $5.06 in the winter months, October through May.

Vepco has about 68,000 retail customers in northeastern North Carolina.

The company is the principai supplier of electricity for two-thirds of Virginia and five counties in West Virginia.

Demo Leaders To Double Program Of Public Works

By PEGGY SIMPSON Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -Democratic leaders, declaring an end to an era of dilutes between the White House and Congress, say they are going to work at once on a plan to double the effect of the nations public works job program.

The proposal amounts to disclosure of the first major element of President-elect Carters package of programs that will be aimed at stimulating the economy.

House Majority Leader Jim Wright made the announcement at a Thursday news conference, saying a cornerstone of Carters program to stiihulate the national economy will be creation of at least 150,000 jobs through the additional funding of public works projects.

The Democratic leadership will sponsor a public works jobs bill, already approved by Carter, and will see that ^ informal hearings on the proposai begin next week, evoi though the House wont be formally organized until late January, Wright said.

The new public works jobs program could range in cost between $2 billion and $4 billion, he said. An outlay of $2 billion would have the

effect of doubling the current federal public works effort.

Wright said the program wili create between 150,(X)0 and 300,000 new jobs directly and a similar number indirectly.

Announcement of the plan from Democratic leaders in Congress appeared to be an effort to add emphasis to Carters vow of coCperation. and Wright declared: The era of confrontation betwen the executive and iegislative branches has ended.

plan that could have used up to $6 billion,

Wright said the Democratic ieadership of Congress will meet with Carter in Plains, Ga., on Jan. 7 to work out details of the new jobs program and to discuss other economic stimulation proposals.

Wright said the amount of money for the program will depend on Carters assessment of the economic situation in late January.

The first 2,000 projects under the current works

program were chosen earlier this month for funding by the Economic Development Administration. The agency has a backlog of applications for $22 billion for other projects and Wright said some of these could be funded by spring if new money and authority is voted by Congress.

The projects range from construction of sewer lines to building of parks and hospitals. Local governments choose the public works projects they believe should have highest priority.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The House Committee on Assassinations will formally request a $6.5-million budget for 1977, amid reports that James Earl Ray, convicted killer of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., is ready to testify before the panel that he was framed.

The committee planned to release a 26-page report today spelling out the leads it intends to pursue in its investigation of the killings of King and President John F. Kennedy.

Ray reportedly has written a letter to the committee, without his lawyers consent, stating his

Carter Voices Concern Over Isolation Of Office

willingness to testify. Copies of the letter were sent to the Washington Star and The New York Times.

He was quoted as saying in the letter that he was framed by the FBI and local police and then coerced by his own attorney to plead guilty against his will to the murder of King.

James Lesar, Ray's Washington attorney, said he is not likely to permit committee investigators to interview Ray in prison, but he indicated that there is nothing he could do to prevent the panel from sub-poenaeing Ray to testify.

It was disclosed last week that an unnamed source has told the committee of an interview with Ray in which the convicted assassin said that while he fled from the law after Kings slaying he received instructions from a conspirator in Portugal.

In the Kennedy case, the committee also wants to look into an earlier disclosure that the CIA tape-recorded a phone call between Lee Harvey Oswald and the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City about two months before Kennedy was kUled on Nov. 22. 1963, in Dallas.

Sources have said transcripts of the phone call show that Oswald, named as the lone assassin, asked for a visa to travel to the Soviet Union. But three CIA employes stationed in Mexico City at the time have been quoted as saying the tapes showed Oswald offering information in exchange for a free trip to Russia.

House committee investigators already have been sent to Mexico to seek an explanation for the discrepancy.

PLAINS, Ga. (AP) -President-elect Carter, worrying about moving into the strange and unnatural world of the White House, says he wants public suggestions on how he can break free of the isolation of the presidency and keep in touch with ordmary citizens.

Closing out a year that brought him from relative obscurity to the nation's highest office. Carter said through a spokesman that he wants written suggestions on how to keep from becoming insulated from the crowds that pass by outside the White House gates.

Carter Press Secretary Jody Powell said public suggestions along this line can be sent to "People, Box

2600, Washington, D C.. 20013.

The President-elect planned a quiet New Years weekend after meeting Thursday with former Maine Gov. Kenneth Curtis, who indicated he is Carters choice to be the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

Carter also issued a New-Years statement in which he said he believed 1977 would be a year when Americans can put old divisions behind us." and he expressed pieasure with the tone of exchanges so far with Soviet leaders

Powell, in the last of hundreds of campaign-year news briefings, said Carter probably will make a swing around the country after his second or third month in office in an effort to keep in

close touch with citizens and their everyday concerns.

Powell indicated that various regions would be visited to give Carter a chance to see and talk to people who would not have an opportunity to travel to Washington.

The press secretary noted that as governor of Georgia Carter opened his office door to all comers at least once a month and met with them about their individual problems that involved state government.

Obviously something likt this is a matter of con sideration. said Powell, acknowledging that the security precautions that envelop a president raise questions about doing the same sort of thing at the White House.

A ^)eciai staff group is being formed to study the whole question, Powell reported, and it is this group that will consider suggestions submitted by the public.

The President-elect, who moves into the White House on Jan. 20. planned to spend a quiet New Year's holiday at home here, and Powell said there would be no new announcements until Monday.

Carter, meeting briefly with reporters, said he planned no news-making activities during the holiday weekend and would celebrate New Years Eve at home.

Asked if he had made any resolutions for 1977, Carter replied. Its to do a good job as president, " After a pause, he added with a grin. And to get aiong better with the press.

California Told Find A New System Of School-Financing

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -California must scrap its present property tax-based school financing system and replace it by 1980 with one providing equal educational opportunities for students in both rich and poor districts, the state Supreme Court has ruled.

The courts 4 to 3 decftlqn on Thursday declared that the present system violates the rights of the states 4.5 million public elementary and high

HICKORY, N.C. (AP) -Employes of Superior Cable Corp. have turned down a bid to be represented by Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO, the National Labor Relations Board announced this week.

school pupils to ^ual protection guarantees in the state Constitution.

The decision made California the second state to declare illegal its method of paying for public education, since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1973 that property tax financing did not violate the federal constitution and should be left to individual states. In January, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled against property-tax financing there.

Sid Wolinsky. attorney for the plaintiffs in the case, hailed the California ruling as "a total victory for the poor school districts and school children.

The governor has adopted essentially a do-nothing stance, and the ball is now in his court and the legislatures.

In wealthy Beverly Hills, school Supt. Kenneth Peters said the decision must be held

responsible for the eventual chaotic destruction of public education in California.

Dr. Wilson Riles, state superintendent of public instruction, praised the decision, but he cautioned, "We must make sure that any solution ... provides adequate resources. .. I will not support a plan which merely spreads poverty equally among our schools.

In its ruling, the court said. The poor district cannot freely choose to tax itself into an excellence which its tax rolls cannot provide.

So long as assessed valuation within a districts boundaries is a major determinant of how much it can spend for its schools, only a district with a large tax base will truly be able to decide how much it really cares about education, the court said in its second ruling in the historic Serrano vs

Priest case which began eight years ago

Despite legislation passed after the first Supreme Court decision, in 1975 wealthy districts were ^>ending more than $2,000 per pupil while poorer districts were spending $1,000 ar less

State officials estimate that half the $3 billion spent annually on public schools comes from property taxes. State akl provides 41 per cent and federal aid 6 per cent. The balance comes from such things as donations and aduit education fees.

The 81-page decision left the questkm of compliance methods and financing in the hands of the governor and state legislature, but it made several ig-gestions. State officials and legislators have estimated a solution would cost between $500 million and $2 billion.

The dam in Newfound community is gone. Nature has obscured a shallow grave on the piney eastern peninsula. A new administration in Raleigh will soon take up what it believes the previous one didnt take care of. The stale begins 1977, the first year of the nations third 100 years.

And, 1976 in North Carolina will be historysome of it forgotten and some remembered.

. Some of 1976s datelines were familiarRaleigh, Charlotte.

Some were notColumbia, N.C., for instance. Some of the events were scheduledthe two primaries and the general election. Some were nota hurricane named Belle which teased the Outer Banks and a murder trial which rocked the town of Scotland Neck.

Some controversies are still

with us-the highway patrols problems and the overcrowded prisons. Some are simmering. Some are gone.

Here are some details:

BRADFORD BISHOP CASE

The case of William Bradford Bishop Jr , wanted for the murder of his wife, mother and three sons March 2. remains unsolved. It is one of the most baffling crimes to confront North Carolina authorities.

Its a matter of speculation whether that man is alive, said Henry J. Boger. FBI assistant special agent in charge in Charlotte.

Bishop, who would be 40 if he is living, was a middle-level State Department diplomat in Washington. He disappeared March 1, the day before his familys bodies were found smouldering in a shallow grave in Tyrrell County in Eastern North Carolina.

Boger and Jack Thomas, deputy director of the State Bureau of Investigation, said both their agencies continue to get tips from around the country from people who think theyve seen Bishop. The file on the Bishop case remains open, they say, but officials in Maryland where

he lived are in charge of the case.

Bishops car was found in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park two weeks after the killings, but he was never found. Household goods of the Bishop family were auctioned off in July, and the government has since officially fired him.

SANDRA DURPEE TRIAL

Sandra Dupree, the white wife of a fundamentalist Scotland Neck minister, was tried and acquitted in a sensational July trial for the murder of a young black man. Today, she wants everyone to forget about the case.

The sooner the press can forget this, the town will be back to norial, Mrs. Dupree said recently. It is in the past. Why cant you let everyone forget it?

Mrs. Dupree, 34, was charged with shooting 21-year-oid Harry Lee Dickens in the front yard of his house on March 11, while her son Mark, 14, was selling Grit newspapers in a black neighborhood. TTie shooting and ultimate acquital stirred a storm of controversy, protests by civil rights groups and sporadic firebombings in Scotland

Neck and Henderson, where the trial was held.

Mrs. Dupree, whose husband Harvey is minister at the Hope Free Will Baptist Churdi, blames the press for blowing the case out of proportion and not presenting her side.

The basic facts of the thing never came out, she said. It was turned and twisted and biased from the beginning. I feel like 1 have been hounded . My family has had enoueh coverage We don't want any more.

ELECTIONS

The North Carolina Republican party is planning to emphasize organizing on the local level and election of local officeholders in 1978, says outgoing party Chairman Robert Shaw.

The effort comes after the GOP suffered a resounding defeat at the polls, losing the governors office after winning it for the first time in this century. While Shaw says the party is still healthy, its finances are a day-to^lay thing some days in the red, some days in the black.

Fire Chief's Goal

WINSTON-SALEM N.C. (AP) - Forsyth County District Fire Chief James L. Parham has a dream 1,000 new smoke detectors for his county.

Hes made a good start toward turning the dream to reality. This week the Exchange Club of Greater Winston-Salem gave the department 50 smoke detectors for the handicapped.

I think this is going a long way toward getting the project really off the ground, Parham said.

Parham kicked off his promotional effort a year ago, when he said, I have never been involved in a fatal fire where a smoke detector was involved

Six of the new devices will go into homes of blind people Parham is also working with a local engineer to alter some to cut on lights in the bedrooms of deaf people who cant hear the alarm.

What we are trying to do is to give these handicapped people the little extra margin that may save their lives in the event of a fire, Parham said. 1 figure we can use about 1.000 detectors in the county. That sounds like a lot, but it should not be that much trouble for the organizations here hunting worthwhile things to do with their money

The first of the 50 new alarms went to the home of l-year-old Eddie Stilley. who is confined to a'ivheelchair.

We selected it for two reasons," Parham said We thought it would be nice to have a child recipient at Christmas time and Eddie's family is trying to work hard to fix up his home so it will be more comfortable for him. "

Paris, in the air, and in Washington.

And in Chern^ille, N.C., 30 or 40 men will fire off muskets outside their neighbors homes, as they and their pred^essors have done for two centuries, and they will shout:

For the old years gone and the new years come. And for good luck well fire our guns. The man who will become president three weeks from now, Jimmy Carter, told the nation in a New Years greeting Thursday that he expects 1977 to show a national determination to put old divisions behind us as the country pursues our national goals of peace, progress and justice. But New Years Eve jwas not just a time for hope. The National Safety Council predicted that traffic accidents would kill 350 to 450 Americans over the weekend.

By and large, Americans were planning to gather in their traditional ways at private get-togethers or at high-priced celebrations in night-clubs, restaurants and bars.

In New York, for example, the plans included the time-hon

ored celebration in Times Square, where the familiar lighted globe will descend at midnight and be joined this year by a new li^t display board, 40-feet-by-20-feet.

A parade, fireworks, and outdoor music were planned in Central Park as well. And Guy Lombardo was to play Auld Lang Syne yet one more time in the Waldorf-Astorias grand ballroom.

A number of womens groups in Omaha, Neb., are holding a $5-per-person party for the public, with proceeds to help promote passage of the pn^Msed Equal Rights Amendment.

And in Miami, where the plush Sammy Davis-Liza Minnelli show was planned at the Diplomat Hotel, eight hotels being struck by the Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Employes Union assured guests that holiday festivities would go on.

Ken Gaston, managing director of the theater at the struck Deauville Hotel, said reservations for New Years Eve started slowly but picked up. Since the strike, were actually doing 20 per cent better, he said. Our business is very good.

NEWFOUND FLOOD

In the ten months since devastation struck, residents of tl^ Newfound Community of Buncombe County have tried to erase the traces of a flood that killed four members of the Leonard Ledbetter family.

An earthen dam that broke, causing the flood to roar down a mountain and over the Ledbetter home, has been destroyed. The water now flows down Newfound Creek.

As a whole, the conununity has made a wide effort to come back, said Ormond Cole, president of the (Community Gub at Newfound. The scars in the rock will still be there for a long while, but the community has made a remarkable effort.

Killed in the flood were Ledbetter, 43, his wife Lora Grey Ledbetter, 38, a son Leslie, 14, and Ledbetters mother, Mrs. Savannah Ledbetter, 76.

A son, Allen, now 20, was spending the night at a friends house the night of the flood and was not hurt. He now lives with an uncle in Newfound.

Later in the year, the community won second prize in the 12-county Western North Cai^ lina Beautiful c<Mitest.

PRISONS

Six months after a fire raced through the prison unit in McDowell (Tounty, the prison dormitory where nine inmates died and 21 were injured is renovated and back in use.

Gaims filed by the families of the dead men against the state are pending, with evidence still to be heard by the state Industrial (Tommission, which sits as a court in such cases.

Prison officials, following an investigation into the July fire, said it was started by inmates protesting disciplinary actions. No char^ were ever filed as a result, ifcwever.

W.L. Kautzky, assistant director of me division of prisons, said that ^a result of the fire, the prison smem began replacing mattressffi in most prison units with new, fire-retardaht-^ ones, at a ^t of close to $25,000.

An innovative North Carolina program to (xmtract out administration of the program fell flat on its face this summer, ending with the California firm

unable to keep up with the payments.

Health Applications Services (HAS) asked to be let out of its $405 million contract to handle all medicaid claims in North Carolina and make the payments. Rising health costs and increased claims made it unable to continue, the company said.

The state agreed, and an interim contract for HAS to process the claims but not make the payments ran out Dec. 31. Jim Burns, a spokesman for the Department of Human Resources, said a new contract for 1977 with a Texas firm. Electronics Data System Federal, will not contain the innovative features of the earlier one with HAS.

BICENTENNIAL

The year was marked with fanfare over the nations 200th birthday. But as 1976 ended, the Bicentennial committee that helped North Carolina celebrate went out with hardly a whimper.

The commission spent more than a million dollars and left behind a number of projects and monuments. /

Dick Ellis, director of the state Bicentennial effort, closed the committees offices in Raleigh Thursday evening, leaving himself and the five staff workers unemployed.

The Bicentennial effort went through three directors before Ellis took control for the last year and a half. But he says the effort still accomplished much.

There were some highly successful intangible benefits from the bicentennial. It brought the nations birthday to the hearts and minds of thhe people, Ellis said.

There were tangible benefits too, he said, such as the Bicentennial Plaza across from the General Assembly building in Raleigh; a collection of biographies of significant blacks and Indians in North Carolina: and assistance to bicentennial celebrations in more than 100 North Carolina communities.

HIGHWAY PATROL

The North Carolina Highway Patrol, after a year of controversy and a whiff of scandal, is looking for a new commander and a new image.

Col. E.W. Jones, commander for four years during the Holshouser administration, submitted his resignation for health reasons. Gov.-elect Jim Hunt has hinted that recent patrol problems may force him to go outside the organization for a replacement.

Patrol problems began in February when it was learned Jones was stepped by a trooper for speeding but was not given a ticket.

There were several accusations that troopers were involved in violent crimes, and a study commission was launched to study ways to improve morale. It is to report to Gov. Hunt in January.

There were some patrol dismissals which the leaders did not explain, but were reported to be tied to a ticket-fixing scheme. But the worst blow to the patrol came at a Nov. 15 shootout on Interstate 85 in which a Virginia trooper being held hostage was fatally wounded.

Autopsy reports say troopers at the scene did not fire the fatal shots; however, two patrolmen were dismissed and four demoted for their role in the shootout. As the year closed, the fired trooper were seeking hearings and judges had moved to reinstate them temporarily.

CARTER CHOICE Wamn Giristopher, according to California Governor Edmund Brown Jr., will be appointed deputy secretary of state in the Carta- administratk. The Governor said Thursday he received a phone caU from secretary-of-state-designate Cyrus Vance, advising him of the planned announcement. (APWirephoto)

Nine Steps To A New Year And You

By Abigail Van Buren

DEAR READERS: Three years ago I published Just For Today and suggested that it be used as New Years Resolutions. Since that time I have heard from a surprising number of readers (ages from 12 to 82) telling me that &ey read the rules every day, and are trying to live by them.

I am repeating them for those who may have missed them. These rules are not original. I paraphrased them from the credo for Overeaters Anonymousan organization of loving, caring, compulsive overeaters who have regained their self-esteem by losing weight, feeling better, looking better and helping others to do the same.

Overeaters Anonymous is patterned after Alcoholics Anonymous and Gamblers Anonymous. Both organisations have had extraordinary success in rehabilitating compulsive drinkers and gamblers when all other methods have failed:

JUSTFORTODAY

1. Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not set far-reaching goals to try to overcome aU my problems at once. I know I can do something for 12 hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

2. Just for today 1 will try to be happy. Abraham Lincoln said, Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. He was right. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. I will chase them out of my mind and replace them with happy thoughto.

3. Just for today I will adjust myself to what is. I will face reality. I will try to change those things I can change, and accept those things I cannot change.

4. Just for today I will try to improve my mind. I will not be a mental loafer. I will force myself to read something that requires effmt, thought and concentration.

6. Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do a good deed for somebodywithout letting them know it. (If they findout Ididit, it wont count.) I will do at least two things that I know I should do but have been putting off. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.

6. Just for today I will be agreeaUe. 1 will look as well

as lean, dress becon^gly, talksoftly, act courteously and day rU not try to improve

speak ill of no one. Just for today anybody except myself.

7. Just for today 1 will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it, thereby saving myself from two pests; hurry and indecision.

8. Just for today I will have a quiet half hour to relax alone. During this time I will reflect on my behavior and will try to get better perspective on my life.

9. Just for today I will be unafr^d. I will gather the courage to do what is right and take the responsibility for my own actions. I will expect nothing from the world, but I will realize that as 1 give to the world, m world will give

Itmakes sense, doesnt it? And so does the Overeaters Anonymous program. Its free. For informatfon about this wonderful organization, write to Box 34864, Los Angeles, Calif. 90034. * .

New Cookbooks Bring Back The Past

By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Press Food Editor

Some of the cookbooks that appeared in 1976 are bent on recaptring the past, their publication probably spurred by our Bicentennial year.

The first cookbook to be published in this country, The Compleat Housewife by E. Smith, appeared in 1742 and was printed and sold in Williamsburg. The second, "The Frugal Housewife: or Compleat Woman Cook by Susannah Carter, appeared in 1772 and was printed and sold in Boston. Both cookbooks were of British authorship, previously published in Enand. This year Susannah Carters book was reprinted under the title of

The Frugal Colonial Housewife, with illustrations, captions, glossary and introduction by Jean McKibbin (Doubleday Dolphin paperback, $4.95). McKibbin, in her introduction, writes that she feels the book, available as it was in the late Colonial and early years of these United States ... is a part of our history that has been neglected. She goes on to say that the strongest influence on the devel(^ment of our present cuisine was the English, and thus the Carter book reveals the basic elements of our American cooking heritage. Certainly culinary history buffs will want to look into it. Because 18th-century editions of The Frugal Housewife are rare, this reasonably priced present-day edition is a boon.

The Colonial Cookbook by Lucille Recht Penner (Hastings House, $7.95) introduces young people of pre-teen age to how food was gathered during our colonial period and what went on in the kitchens and at the tables of our early settlers. The author never writes down and summarizes her well-researched material in an interesting way. The recipes cover soups; meat; poultry; seafood; vegetables; puddings; breads; sauces and relishes; sweets and drinks all adapted for modem use. The nine to 12-year-old children who tried them said they were easy to make and tasted good. The book is delightfully Ulustrated with black and white prints and photographs chosen and arranged by Laura Geringer.

Fireside Cooks & Black Kettle Recipes by Doris E. Farringt<Mi (Bobbs-Merrill, $15.00) is in three parts. The

first is devoted to describing the conditions early Americans in the North and South faced in providing food for their families, and how culinary customs got their start in New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. The second part discusses the open firq>Iaces, Dutch ovens and outside ovens that were in use. The third part is a collection of recipes r^r-inted chiefly from cookbooks of the 18th and 19th centuries. The main categories of dishes from soiQ)s to preserves and relishes are covered and the

source of each recipe is noted; occasionally the author gives her adaptation of one of these. The recipes will undoubtedly be of interest to cooks who are curious about our early cookbooks but do not have easy access to a ctrilection of them.

Capable Public Servant Gone

ANOTHER GUSHER!

Eastern North Carolina marked a sad occasion with the death of Lindsay C. Warren of Washington, at age 87.

Long in retirement in Beaufort County, Warren was a giant of politics in our area.

He served as congressman for the first congressional district for 16 years and was influential in both Raleigh and Washington.

President Franklin Roosevelt turned to the North Carolina congressman and chose Warren to serve as comptroller general of the United States. Warren served as watchdog over federal spending for 14 years prior to retiring in 1954.

Warren kept a close eye on federal spending while comptroller general, no doubt saving the na

tion many millions of dollars. Regret i not j the ari i being watchdog over spending in federal government seems one that has been lost since Warrens years of service.

Following his return to North Carolina, Warren served two terms in the State Senate before retiring for good.

Since then he has lived quietly in Beaufort County.

North Carolina and the nation have lost one of their most capable public servants with the death of Lindsay C. Warren. He served with distinction in various public Jobs throughout his career.

He will be missed.

GOP Rival For Helms' Post Unlikely

Gov. Holshousers aide. Gene Anderson, says that the governor is not considering a run against GOP Senator Jesse Helms next year.

That, of course, leaves the question of whether any North Carolina Republican will seriously

challenge the conservative senator.

It is virtually certain that Sen. Helms will face strong Democratic opposition as he seeks re-election, but it appears likely that he has the Republican nomination wrapped up.

Minors Need State Help

ByBILLNOBLITT

RALEIGH Sometimes youngsters dont get essential treatment from a physician because they dont want Mom or Dad to know about it.

That situation could be overcome by a law in North Carolina allowing minors to consent to their own health care, the N. C. Task Force on Early Adolescene feels.

That recommendation is among several presented by the task force to the Legislative Commission on Children with Special Needs.

Durham Psychiatrist Dr. Hal Harris director of the task force which is attempting to draw attention to the turmoil and need for help in the lO-to-lS age group. That age, say task force leaders, is a much neglected area in which early childhood sjfl>-ports are dropped, and the specialized helps later available in high school and college are not yet available.

Self-Consent

Some adolescent health problems can be properly met only if access to m^ical care provides that certain minors may give self-

THE INSIDE REPORT

consent, Dr. Harris recently told the legislative commission.

The task force agrees that parents should c<msent in health care decisions whenever feasible, But that no legal barrier should exist to prevent minors from receiving needed health care in order to protect their health and the health of others.

A law proposed by the task force would not require physicians to treat young people on their own, nor forbid physicians from informing parentsif that is in the best interest of the patient.

Further, physicians should be urged to persuade the young people to involve their parents and establish com-munication and understanding. But, when the time comes that a physician must be able to treat a child, he should be able to do so without consent of an adult, the proposal suggests.

The task force is also pushing a major change of the Governors Advocacy Council on Children and

Youth; taking it out of the Department of Human Resources and giving it commission status in the Department of Ad-ministration.

That move is necessary. Dr. Harris said, to relieve the bureaucratic restraints often felt by an advocacy group

operating within an agency which is the prime sponsor of programs for children. The advocacy function should be independent and have staff to carry out research and put pressures on any problem without fear.

Special Skills

Another recommendation of the task force is that specialized training be provided at colleges and universities for people who will be dealing with adolescents in fields of education, juvenile justice, or health.

In short, the young adolescent is not given emphasis in any of the training programs ... this age group is incorporated into more generalized settings and contexts ... the lack of a specific focus on the young

adolescent results in a serious lack of even basic knowledge about the unique and critical developemtnal requirements of these children, Dr. Harris reported.

Future work by the task force will focus on developments in advanced training and licensing for professionals who deal with teenagers; a competency test for school dropouts so they can be certified at certain levels even though not interested in staying in school; the possible transfer of the Governors Law and Order Commission to-another state department to remove present emphasis on equipment and materials, and put more emphasis on individual in providing federal funds for programs; study of a Community School Act to establish local schools as centers of social and recreational activities; and efforts to limit the classroom sizes in junior high schools, and reduce the use of people listed as teachers in such non-teaching jobs as administrative and clerical.

Israel And The New F-16

By ROWLAND EVANS and ROBERT NOVAK

WASHINGTON -Prsident-elect Carter is about to be caught in. a political-military squeeze between Israels request for production rights to the new F-16 fighter plane and the likely resistance of four European allies to go all the way with that request.

The F-16 dispute is only the latest predicament arising over these long-standing and understandable -U.S. desires; to help arm Israel for another possible wai against the Arabs and to ease its economic crisis.

Against these laudable goals, however, is the problem of Israel using U.S. foreign aid to sell arms on the world market. That practice can conflict directly with U.S. interests and U.S. allies.

. When Israeli defense minister Shimon Peres arrived here two weeks ago to present Israels newest request, the F-16 was at the top of the list. He wanted not oiy 50 of the newest U.S. fighters to be

financed by the U.S. but also the right to co-produce another 200. This means Israel would make components and assemble the plane in Israel.

Some defense and diplomatic experts here suspect Israel also wants to market spare parts (from its own production) to foreign buyers of the plane Iran, for example. This would help finance the F-16s purchased through U.S. credits for Israels own air force.

The problem is that the U.S. has a completely separate agreement with four of its North AtFantic Treaty (NATO) allies; Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and Denmaric. That agreement was pushed hard by the U.S. to persuade the four NATO countries to agree on the F-16 as a standardized NATO fighter plane. Accordingly, each of the four now has the right to co-produce the aircraft and sell surplus production abroad.

The separate deal between the U.S. and Israel could put

Israel into competition with the four NATO countries for selling F-I6s valuable spare parts (as well as in direct competition with the U.S. itself). So, a quiet but intensive investigation is now underway by the State and Defense Departments into political and military ramifications of the whole coproduction deal with Israel.

Whatever the investigations show, these are the alternatives: risk affronting our NATO allies by agreeing on an additional coproduction partner, with future competition on spare parts turned out by an aggressive, highly organized force of avionics technicians in Israel; or, deny Israel acost-saving scheme, risking a nasty fi^t with pro-Israel forces in Congress.

The State-Defense study will explore hidden aspects of Israels burgeoning arms trade going well beyond the F-16. Israel has been dickering with both Austria and South Africa for sale of the Israelproduced Kfir fighter plane an Israeli-designed body with a General Electric J79 jet engine and some components made in Israel.

The changing role of the Kfir is cited by European members of the F-16 consortium as an illuminating study for what conceivably might happen in Israel to the F-16.

When Israel decided to produce the Kfir, the U.S. was informed the aircraft would reduce Israels need for successive models of American fighter jets. Consequently, the GE jet engines were approved for export to Israel.

The latest version of the Kfir Is described by defense experts here as made to order for export, with Austria, South Africa and two Latin American countries as targets. Officials here rule out Austria as a buyer, but not South Africa and the Latin American countries.

Israeli sale of the Kfir is illegal without prior U.S. approval, because of its hli-technology U.S. components, particularly the engine. Nevertheless, top officials here say Israel definitely is hoping for a sale and for White House or congressional approval.

'hiat may be wishful thinking. With Jimmy Carter taking a tough, no-compromise line on South Africa, far more subject to black political influence than President Ford, a waiver of the ban mi^t not get throu^ either the White House or Congress.

Some Congressmen have privately questioned Israels sale to Chile of the Shaf rir, an Israeli-made air-to-air missile. It has no U.S. components and can be sold legally, but the Shafrir would fall (CoaOaued oa psge t)

The most important aspect of a persons spiritual life is the extent to which he or she puts belief into (^atloii.

Great HEWSecrefary

WASHINGTON-I dont know about President-elect Carters other Cabinet appointments, but I can speak with authority when I say he couldnt have selected a better Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare than Joseph Califano. You see, Joe Califano has been our football car pool driver to the Redskin games for the past eight years. He learned all his driving skills from his ex-boss, Lyndon Johnson, at the L.B.J. ranch, and if Joe can run a government department as well as he can maneuver his beat-up station wagon on Massachusetts

Ave., this countrys health, education and welfare will be in safe hands.

Ill have to admit that the seven of us who ride with Joe to the Redskin games never thought of him as Cabinet material. But then again no football car pool chauffeur is a hero to.the people he drives to the stadium.

When the FBI men came to see me to do a check on Joe, I thought they were kidding when they said he was being considered for secretary of HEW. But I discovered the FBI never jokes.

What kind of man would you say Mr. Califano is? one

Public Forum

Letters submitted for Public Forum must be limited to 300 words.

To the editor:

Sometimes we take for granted and overlook things different groups do for one another. People are far too liberal with criticizing and far too conservative with compliments. Granted the Greek system of ECU makes mistakes like boisterous activities and unintentional destruction of property. Yet It has its advantages for the Greenville community.

The members of this system, although involved in school activities, find time to contribute to various fund-raising projects and also towards helping the disadvantaged, underprivileged persons of Greenville and the surrounding area

An excellent illustration of these contributions was seen prior to the University Christmas break. The various fraternities volunteered to ntertain and present with gifts varying numbers of underprivileged children. Sunday, Dec. 12, Pi Kappa Phi fraternity held its annual Christmas party for underprivileged children. The brothers, pledges, and little sisters joined together to welcome the five children that came. To add to the realisr the evening for the children, Santa (Sammy Hic made a special guest appearance. Each child was given the chance to sit on Santas lap and reveal his or her secret wish for Christmas to himfrom baby dolls to a new Holda. Afterwards, Santa reached into his bag and gave each child a gift.

The ecstasy in the childrens eyes made me realize that something good was happening here. Yet all this had been conceived, organized and executed by those boisterious property destroyers.

The Greeks system of ECU does make a lot of mistakes, but it also does a lot of unacknowledged good. Therefore, the next time a member of a fraternity or sorority does something wrong, do not be so quick to place the blame on the entire fratemity-sorority system, for obviously everyone makes mistakes, but everyone does some good, too.

of them asked me.

Hes a gutsy Evel Knievel, I said. Evel Knievel has jumped over 14 chartered Greyhound buses on a motorcycle, but Califano is the only man I know who has ever tried to drive straight through them. Ask anyone in the car pool, I said.

Would you say he's unstable? the other FBI man asked.

I should say not. Hes as stable as they come. Have you ever seen a man drive on the sidewalk for three blocks just to avoid being tied up in stadium traffic?

The FBI man was taking notes.

Does he have any deep-seated prejudices that you know of?

He hates red lights. Ive seen him cuss and scream at a red light for two minutes. He also has contempt for STOP signs. Every time he sees one he goes 1 i vid.

I mean for people. Does he have any prejudice against certain kinds of people. "Only pedestrians. Joe thinks pedestrians should stay off the streets during football games regardless of race, creed or color.

How does he feel about busing? *

Hes for busing people to football games only as a last resort. But if the Supreme Court says you have to bus spectators to the stadium he will follow the law of the land.

"Would you say hes imaginative? one of the FBI agents asked.

Yup. No matter how many times he's driven us to the game he always goes a different way. One time he took the wrong turn and we wound up in Richmond, Va. The thing that endears Joe to the car pool is that you never know what hes going to do next.

What would you say are his best traits?

Hell always look you in the eye-when hes driving-even when youre sitting in the back seat. And hes one of the most patriotic men I know. Ive seen him sideswipe an ambulance rather than miss the Redskin band playing theStar-Spangled Banner.

Count Is Up?

By JEFFREY MILLS Associated Press Wrlt-

WASHINGTON (AP) - A dozen years after the famous surgeon generals report on the hazards of smoking, cigarette use is at an all-time high with tobacco sales up by a billion dollars over last year, the Agriculture Department says.

The d^artment said lliurs-day that people w4io smoke, chew or sniff tobacco spent nearly $16.6 billion on tobacco this year, compared with $15.6 billion in 1975. More than 90 per cent of the money went for cigarettes.

The statistics released by the department, which subsidizes tobacco growing, create a different picture than those issued recently by antismoking groups showing a decreasing number of adult smokers.

The department said Americans smoked an estimated 620 billion cigarettes this year, a 2.1 per cent increase over the 607.2 billion a year ago.

With further gains expected next year in population and consumer spending, cigarette consumption and output may rise further, the department report said.

The National Qearinghouse for Smoking and Health said this fall that the percentage of adult smokers is lower now than five years ago.

The clearinghouse and the Agriculture Department did agree that there is a trend toward low-tar, low-nicotine cigarettes.

Meanwhile, the American Cancer Society is gearing up for a five-year campaign against cigarette smoking. Allan K. Jonas, chairman of the societys National Task Force on Tobacco and Cancer, has said that cigarette smoking is responsible for nearly 70,0(X) cancer deaths a year, practically one in every five deaths from this disease.

The Tobacco Institute, an industry group, has called the societys program regrettable propaganda.

40 Years Ago Today

December 31,1936

Although congressional leaders agreed to a quick resolution banning arms shipments to participants in civil wars, a battle loomed today over making embargoes 7 on the Permanent Neutrality Act mandatory or discretional.

President Roosevelt is seeking broad discretionary power but Senator Vanden-burg (R-Mich.) last ni^t called for mandatory legislation as far as possible.

Senator Vandenburg conceded that munitions shipments to Spain should be forgiven, but added that the mandatory code did not go far enough.

Projects costing approximately a quarter of a million dollars were completed or started in Greenville during the year which draw to an end tonight and at the same time those undertakings were inaugurated with no increase in taxes to the citizens.

In addition, business and residential construction and Improvements during the past 12 months raised the figure to much higher marks.

The close of the year finds the citys financial status in good shape. The city had lived within the budget a fact which in itself is worthy of commendation.

Happy Item From Pres. Ford

ByJOHNCUNNIFF AP Business Analyst

NEW YORK (AP) - The recent economic news is like a New Years greeting card to President-elect Jimmy Carter. It is signed: President Ford.

The very latest message on the greeting is that the composite index of economic indicators is expanding again, but this was expected. For several days and more the better not good news has been bubbling from the Washington numbers factories.

Perstmal income figures now look betto*. Consumer prices seem almost under control. Retail sales since November seem to have some added zip. Gross National Product estimates are rising.

In addition, the stock exchange is showing some strength. Consumers too are a bit more confident.

Democrats should beware of gifts from Republicans, of course. In fact they should be wary of any suddeif^ood news, because it can evaporate, literally disappear in statistical revisions and changed moods, and it might do that.

But right now it does look as if the restrictive ecixiomic programs of the Ford administration have brought to the Carter administration a more stable eccmomlc base <m which to build its more positive programs.

The key contribution from Ford has been a relative measure of price stability. The latest report on consumer prices, for November.

showed a rise of only three-tenths of 1 per cent, or an annual rate of 3.6 per cent.

After double-digit rates lor many months, a figure that low isnt unappreciated by those who have to watch their pennies and who have been doing so. They tend to venture out, to spend, to take risks, rather than simply bank if they can.

The unexpected spurt In automobile sales, at the very time some informed indusry analysts were looking for a slowdown, might be evidence of this. When the final report on Christmas sales is in we might have more evidence.

The most magical effect of all might be in consumer confidence. It still is not robust, but there is nothing like price stability after price volatility to restore faith

among buyers. It bears watching.

The president-elect has produced a good deal of the news by himself, of course, without aid from President Ford. He has given the impression of a new beginning, or a more activist role, of new ideas to be tried and obstacles to be conquered.

But promises dmit go far if the economic foundation looks like it might fall apart.

The present one still is rickety, but it has a few more nails and planks in place than just a few months ago.

At that time, just before the elections, many of the same indicators that now look so good were falling. The timing was m(t unfortunate for Ford; and now that things ^ look better, time and the office IK) longer are his.

WASHINGTON (AP) - If you want to turn right on a red light in Virginia or New York, pump your own gasoline in Ohio or talk on channel 39 of your CB radio, Saturday is the day.

But youd also better save the financial tables from Saturday's newspaper if you plan to leave stocks to your heirs, give some thought to paying more Social Security taxes and quit driving your truck in Minnesota without mud flaps.

All this good news and bad news is the result of new laws that take effect Saturday, the first day of 1977.

Amon^ the patchwork of changing federal and state

laws, those affecting the greatest number of people are federal tax revisions.

Massive changes in federal estate taxes can affect everyone who dies after midnight Friday. A new method of taxing the increase in value of property held during a persons lifetime will make stock market tables from Saturdays newspapers into collectors items.

Heirs will have to be able to prove for tax purposes the value of any stocks or bonds in the estate they inherit as computed from today Dec. 31, 1976.

Under the old law, no tax was paid on capital gains occurring during the lifetime of the deceased.

Two provisions of the tax law that will help some taxpayers

after 1977 arrives affect houses and spouses who dont work outside the home.

Persons over 65 now can escape taxation on $35,000 of the sale price of their residence. The old limit was $20,000. Workers who qualify for the tax-deferment advantages of an Individual Retirement Account can throw an extra $250 a year into the account as a retirement fund for their spouses if the spouses arent employed.

Social Security taxes will be going up this year for the high-er-income worker. Last year, workers earning $15,300 or more paid $895.05 in Social Security taxes. This year, if you earn $16,500 or more, youll pay $965.25. If you pay the higher amount, youll be in the company of 16 million others.

But retired persons who do a^

Adventists See A Lower Rate

NEW YORK (AP) - Only one-third to one-half as many Seventh-day Adventists die of cancer as their fellow Americans, Atlas World Press Review says.

The periodical adds that diet apparraitly plays a key role in the comparatively lower death rate, noting that Adventists do not smoke or drink alcohol or coffee.

By GEORGE W. CORNELL AP Rdigion Writer

NEW YORK (AP) - Startinj on New Years Day in In dianapolis, the first of a corp ol women are to be regularly ordained priests in the Episcopal Church while conflict over it still swirls through the denomination.

But even among the opponents, there were moves to counter attempts at outright schism.

Amid the ferment, 22 dioceses have scheduled ordinations of a total of 42 women in the first three months of the year, an initial surge of more than 30 of them in January.

Its finally happening after a long wait, says Jacqueline Means, an Indianapolis nurse, prison chaplain, mother of four and former Roman Catholic who becomes the first of the new line in ceremonies this Saturday.

The services, presided over by Indianas Bishop John P. Cralne, cq^ js^a prelude to a successionofsimilar rites from New York to California and from Alabama to Alaskat

Ordination of women can oe a new demonstration of the Holy Spirits work in uniting all things In Christ, said Bishop Jonathan G. Sherman of Long Island this week in his first public statement on the issue.

The step is not subtracting from but adding to and enriching our Catholic heritage, he added. Holy Scripture itself is the ground for the new departure which the Episcopal Church has undertaken.

But the opposition still churned in letters, in statements and petitions by groups of men priests opposing ordination of women in various dioceses from Los Angeles to Rhode Island and in varying tactical maneuvers by opposition groups.

One coalition of 17 groups, about half of them ind^ndent Episc(H>al publications, declared at a November meeting in Nashville that ordination of women would betray the faith, and urged formation of a separate church.

Called the Fellowship of Concerned Churchmen, they scheduled a c(mference next Septem

ber in St. Louis to consider the breakaway step.

However, another opposition group, the Coalition for the Apostolic Ministry, including most bishops opposing womens ordination, repudiated departures from the denomination.

At a meeting in Chicago in December, the group said it would not accept women priests, but would uphold that position within the Episcopal Church, not outside it.

We shall not bolt away, said Bishop Stanley Atkins of Eau Claire, Wis., a leader of the opposition among bishops. He also said the group planned no boycott against Church funds.

What we want to achieve, added Bishop Robert E. Ter-williger of Dallas, Tex., another leading opponent, is a revival of the apostolic and Catholic life within the Episcopal Church.

The Episcopal Church is part of the worldwide Anglican communion which, like Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, traces its ministry to the time of Christs apostles, traditionally confining it to males.

Year Of The Snake For Japan And South Korea

By KAY TATEISHI Associated Press Writer TOKYO (AP) - The Year of the Dragon gives way to the Year of the Snake in Japan and part of South Korea at midnight tonight. It means 12 months of bright, proud and beautiful babies, say Japanese soothsayers.

For other Asian nations, which use the lunar calendar to determine the start of the new year, the Year of the Snake begins Feb. 18.

Old Asian almanacs say the snake was the sixth animal among 12 to reach the bedside of the dying Buddha to pay homage. The first was the rat, who rode on the back of the ox and then jumped off as the ox was about to enter the house of

Study Of Young Points To Aura Of 'Evaluation'

WASHINGTON (AP) - Most young people today are not antagonistic toward organized religion, but are inclined to evaluate it on their own rather than accept it automatically, a new study finds.

The study, commissioned by the U.S. Catholic Conference Education Departments office of research, says that a c6n-frontation with faith now occurs earlier in life than before, that it usually has come at college age, but its now hitting at the high school level.

Many youths, concerned for values of autonomy, are confused by the very freedoms they demand, the study says. It adds that organized religion, along with other support systems of family and peer groups, can be a major force but todays ackriescent will assess it more critically Assemblies of God church has the fastest growing Sunday school in the nation, says Christian Life Magazine in its comparison of 1976 statistics from local churches.

The animals and \riiat they symbolize are said to influence the year and the character of individuals born in that year.

Previous snake years this century were 1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953 and 1965.

According to the soothsayers, people born in a snake year are intelligent and talented, speak little but have tremendous wisdom. They are said to have powers of concentration, a keen eye for detail, organizational

Rural Church Is $2 Million Heir

PHEBA, Miss. (AP) - A small, rural church of 130 members near here, Hebron Baptist Church, has inherited $2 million, and isnt sure what to do with it all.

Interest on the money, bequeathed from the estate of Mrs. W.A. Adair, a life-long member who was buried in the churchs little cemetery, will run to about $200,000 a year, while the churchs budget this year is only $8,000. The will says the money is to be used to supplement the pastors salary, brick the church and keep up the cemetery, which seems to limit it to upkeep.

The GreenviJIe chapter of the Full Gospel Businessmens Fellowship will meet Monday at the American Legion Building.

Dinner will be served at 6:45 p.m. and will be followed by a meeting at7:30p.m.

age.

But the seers add that snake year people do not always mix easily with others, are proud to the point of absurdity and may not tolerate people they do not consider as intelligent as themselves. They hate to lose, and their pride may make it difficult for them to recognize their mistakes or if they do, they may not admit them.

TTiey also are said to be passionate and exceptionally attractive. A beautiful Japanese woman is often called a mi-bijin, snake year beauty. But snake year people sometimes take their affections outside their families, leading to marital misunderstanding.

Some well-known snake year people include U.S. Secretary of State-designate Cyrus R. Vance; Prime Minister Indira Gandhi of India; philosopher and novelist Jean-Paul Sartre; actresses Jean Arthur, Ilka Chase, Claudette Colbert, Faye Dunaway, Julie Christie, Joan Fontaine, Gloria Grahame, Audrey Hepburn, Mary Pickford and Eva Marie Saint; and actors Richard Boone, Raymond Burr, John Cassavetes, Mel Ferrer, Henry Fonda, Joel McCrea, Dean Martin and Robert Mitchum.

For those older folks, however, some of the savings may go right back into medical costs.

Last year an felderly or disabled person entering a hospital under Medicare had to pay the first $104 of the bill. This year, the tab is $124.

channels to talk on starting Saturday. The former 23 channels were getting so crowded with the multiplying number of CB folks that the Federal Communications Commission decided to allot them more space on the airwaves.

The feds gave a possible break to beer drinkers, too, or at least to those who like local brands. The excise tax for smaller brewers will dn^) by $2 a barrel on their first 60,(XK) barrels so they can compete more effectively with large brewers. The number of brands of beer in the country has been steadily dropping as smaller brewers fold or sell out.

Here is a sampling of some of the other laws taking effect in various states at the stroke of midnight:

Rl^t to Die: A doctor in California can remove llfe-sup-port equipment from a dying patient if the patient has given such authorization within the past five years.

Body bequests: Virginia drivers licenses will include a form on which the licensee can indicate that any or all parts of his or her body can be used for transplants, therapy, research or education. But the authorization can be crossed out if the licensee has a change of heart.

Truck flaps: Minnesota will require rear mud flaps on virtually all trucks.

Right turns: Virginia and New York will permit right

turns on a red light under certain conditions. Virginia officials say the new law, similar to many in the West, will save millionc of fiollnnc of ?<;n1ire and 14 sei onds per stop per motor ibi.

Gas Stations: The ruoi. of self-service gasoline stations will ^read to Ohio, wlikh is legalizing personal pumping.

Pulltabs: Minnesota wanted to end use of beverage cans with throwaway pulltabs on Jan. 1, but some bottlers are in court trying at least to win permission to use up their existing stocks of such cans.

do.

But in a larger sense LIFE is having time on our hands. A day is a span of hours. What we do with those hours can make it a busy day or a wasted day. a good day or an evil day.

And a year is a span of days. What we do with the days can determine the kind of year it will be.

One of the best of New Year Resolutions is this: To learn to know better the God who has given us Time . . . and to share that knowledge of God with a rising generation who may make of their years more than we have made of our own.

By The Associated Press Freezing rain and snowfall of up to five Inches prompted travelers warnings in the mountains of North Carolina today as a cold front whisked 1976 toward a close with plunging temperatures.

The front, moving from west to east, brought four to five inches of new snowfall to some mountain regions during the

night and left an accumulation of snow a foot deep in Watauga County.

The forecast called for the snow to taper off to flurries today in most mountainous regions and for the light rains to end In the central and eastern portions of the state.

Temperatures were forecast to hold steady or drop throughout the day as the front

marches across the state ahead of strong northwesterly winds..

The mercury will fall below 10 degrees in the mountains and range from the teens in Piedmont to the 20s along the coast tonight, according to the National Weather Service.

Highs New Years Day will range from the teens in the northwest mountains to the low 40s along the south coast.

Old North State Med Society Points To Rural Need Of More Doctors

By DAVID TOMLIN Associated Press Writer

; RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -;Poor people will continue to die and rural economies to suffer from time lost due to illness unless a way can be found to encourage young people from

poverty areas to become doctors. a physicians association has concluded.

The solution is better financial aid to men and women in poor areas interested In medical school, according to a report by the Old North State

Town Mourning Its 5 Students

SHOTWELL, N.C. (AP) -The small town of CTayton today mourned the deaths of five high school students, described as some of the top people in the school.

The five were killed when the car in which they were riding crested a hill on a rural Wake County road and met another car in a grinding, head-on crash. Two young women in the other car also died and five more people were hurt.

It was something like a nightmare, said the first official at the scene of the wreck.

You cant realize how badly everything was tom up, said Wendell Fire Chief Norman L. Dean. If you didnt know cars, you had no way of knowing what kind of cars they were. The five student victims were WUliam Harold Wheeler, 16,the driver, Kim Spence, 14, Lisa Jo Wright, 15. Ken Smith, 15, and Lisa Rosa Lynch, 15, all of Clayton.

They were all such good students, said Lawrence Wil

liams. Clayton High assistant principal's Every one of them was in the Junior Beta Club," an honor society for freshmen and sophomores.

You hate to see anyone die, of course, said teacher Valerie Ellis. But these kids, they were the top ones. You couldnt ask for nicer, better students or better kids.

The other two victims were identified as Susan Frances Un-dertiill, 21, of Wendell, the driver of the other car, and Helen Jean Brewer, 18, of Raleigh, a passenger.

It was the worst <Mie Ive ever seen, said state Hi^way Patrol trooper Ronald L. Hayes.

Mrs. George Hauser of Clayton said the passengers in the Wheeler car left a party arranged by her daughter Becky to take a ride. It was just ot-thusiasm, she said. 'That boy had just gotten his license. 'They had nothing but Coca Cola and tea to drink. Hjey had nothing else that I know of.

Medical Society, the nations oldest association of black physicians.

The government could also help the medical schools keep tuition down, said Dr. Charles D. Watts of Durham in a telephone interview.

Watts led a society task force that compiled the r^rt, which has been submitted to President-elect Jimmy Carter.

The report cites some grim statistics in identifying the problem. National figures show there are 133 doctors for every 100,000 Americans. Infant mortality Is 23 for every 1,000 live births.

By ciMitrast, southern rural counties have only 60 doctors per 100,000 population and the poor counties have only 44.

Infant mortality among southern rural blacks is almost double the national average 45 per 1,000 live births.

The national death rate is 9.3 per 100,000 population. It is 9.4 in the South. 10.4 in the rural South and 11.2 among southern rural blacks.

Watts said there are many children of poor families who would jump at the chance to serve their conununities as doctors but are forced into other professions because medical school costs too much and will soon cost more.

Interest rates on tuition loans W1 jump in 1977 from 3 per cent to 10 per cent. Watts said, at the same time that tuition is increasing.

The government, he added, should st^ in. It wouldnt take a lot of money to make this a realistic program. Concentration of medical graduates in specialized fields in the cities has been a national problem. But Watts said the trend now is toward general practice, and many children of poor families would be willing to pursue medical careers in their home towns.

Watts said the association is also recommending changes in administration of the Medicaid program to make it more attractive to doctors.

In North Carolina, we have 10 per cent of the doctors delivering 70 per cent of the services under Medicaid, Watts said. Medicaid was supposed to give poor people a choice of doctors and ho^itals, just like anybody else. But it hasnt worked out that way.

NEW YORK (AP)-The stock market advanced broadly today, shooting for its first year-end close above the Dow Jones industrial average 1,000 mark since 1972.

Trading was moderately active.

The 11:30 a.m. Dow Jones average of 30 industrial stocks was up 3.65 at 1,002.74.

Gainers outnumbered losers by close to a 2-1 margin among New York Stock Exchange-listed issues.

The only previous yearend close above 1,000 for the Dow came four years ago at 1,020.02. Eleven days later the average reached its all-time closing high of 1,051.70.

Brokers said there was nothing particular in the economic news today to account for the markets strength.

But they did note a persisting belief that business activity was picking up after several sluggish months last summer and fall.

Bandag topped the active list, down */4 at Wk- A 95,000-share block traded at that price.

Pittston fell l/8 to 35',i. Earlier in the week U.S. Steel decided against buying metallurgical coal from Pittston next year, opting instead to go to the open market for lower prices.

On the American Stock Exchange, the market value index was up .17 at 108.83.

350-450 Range

By The Associated Press

As the long New Years weekend began with vacationers heading out for a winters fling, the National Safety Council estimated that between 350 and 450 persons may be killed in traffic accidents.

The holiday, considered a three-day observance, begins for counting purposes at 6 p.m. Thursday and ends at midnight Sunday.

The worst New Years holiday from a traffic standpoint was in 1965, when 564 persons blost their lives.

Fatalities for this years Christmas weekend were substantially higher than for last years, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in Washington said.

It estimated that 590 persons have died or will die within 30 days from highway accidents during the three-day Chirstmas weekend 75 more than died during the four-day weekend in 1975.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) -Foreign Minister Yigal Allon said today he 'favored early informal consultations" with Jordan and Palestinian leaders from the occupied West Ba^ onrepresentation for Palestinian Arabs in future Middle East peace talks.

A11(mi also said Egyptian President Anwar Sadats statement that a Palestinian state should be federated to Jordan appeared to mark a step away from a previous hard-line position for a separate state.

In an interview with the

Washington Post Thursday, Sadat said: My idea was, and still is, that a certain relationship between the Palestinians and Jordan should be declared to take place whenever the Palestinian state is created. He said this could take the form of a confederation or whatever model they agree on between them.

Allon said I would be ready to have, if necessary, early informal consultations between representatives of Jordan, leaders of the Palestinian Arab community in the West Bank,

and the state of Israel, to consult how best the Palestinian "Arab community can be represented in future negotiations. The suggestion that West Bank leaders be Involved in peace moves is not new Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin proposed in a recent interview that West Bank mayors be consulted. 'The mayors rejected the idea, saying the Palestine Liberation Organization PLO was the rightful r^resentatlve of the area. However, Israeli officials believe the mayors privately favor the suggestion.

Cyrus Predicts Top Price For 77 Leaf

WINTERVILLE - John B. Cyrus. Chief of Field Crop Section of the N.C. Department of Agriculture was the guest speaker at the Winterville Kiwanis meeting Thursday night.

Cyrus discussed the tobacco outloolAr 1977 and 1978.

He predicted that the Pitt County effective quota for 1977 will be 16.5 per cent less than the effective quota for 1976 because of a 12 per cent cut for 1977 and because of a large amount of overmarketing.

Cyrus said that he doubted

that any revisions will be made in price support for 1977. However, he did predict that a change of quota would be necessary in 1978 because of the low grades of tobacco that are being sold.

Cyrus predicted that the average price for tobacco for 1977 would be $1.17 per pound if it is a good growing season.

Ed Yancey of the Pitt Ck)unty Agricultural Extension Office, was a special guest at the meeting, according to Regan Jones, program coordinator.

Jump Rope Strangled

MARION, N.C. (AP) - Authorities say a 7-year-old boy found dead with a jump rope around his neck apparently slipped from the t(^ of a bunk bed and died accidentally.

Timmy Buchanans body was discovered in his bedroom Wednesday morning when he failed to appear for breakfast.

Eddie Smith of the McDowell County sheriffs department said the boy apparently had been playing when he slipped off the bed with the jump rope looped around his neck. The plastic handle on one oxi of the rope caught in the loop, the d^uty said, forming a noose.

The boys father, Timothy D. Buchanan Sr., tried in vain to revive him with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and heart massage.

He had jbeen playing around the house, said W. C. Lonon, Timmys grandfather. He had climbed up there and he had his jump rope with him. Im sure he was possibly just playing cowboy or soniething.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -Ninth-ranked North Carolina flexed its muscles midway through the second half against outmanned Weber State Thursday night, and left no doubt who was the best team at the 21st Far West Classic college basketball,.tournament.

With guard John Kuester scoring 22 points and unanimous all-toumey selection Phil Ford directing a crisp, efficient offense, the Tar Heels rolled to a 75-54 victory.

It was North Carolinas second trip to the classic, and its second championship. The first came in 1967.

State 77-68 for fifth place, and Texas A&M rallied for an 89-81 win over Bowling Green for seventh place.

In the end, coach Dean Smith used his four-comer offense to destroy Weber State, and the coach credited Ford with making it work so well.

"Hes superb. I dont think there is a better guard in the country and most coaches will agree with me, Smith said. The guy doesnt ever seem to miss a free throw and you cant hammer him.

Ford' and two teammates, Tommy LaGarde and Walter Davis all starters on the U.S. Olympic team that won a gold medal in Montreal were named to the tournament all-star team along with Roberts and Weber States Jim Ericksen.

"We used up a lot of intensity and enthusiasm in the first two games, Smith said, and if we

Coaches Title On

By LARRY PALADINO AP Sports Writer

PASADENA. Calif. (AP) -The national collegiate football championship is at stake Saturday in the 63rd Rose Bowl game, head coaches of the competing teams contend, no matter what top-ranked Pitts-. burgh does in the Sugar Bowl against No. 5 Georgia.

Whether it works out that way in the final poil remains to be seen. But indications are the Rose Bowl matchup between second-ranked Michigan, lO-l, and third-ranked Southern California, 10-1, could be a classic.

And if Pittsburg happens to lose to the Bulldogs - or even tie or win by a narrow margin the winner of the Wolve-rines-Trojans tussle in Pasadena could very well determine the mythical national title.

Its not just another bowl game, said Michigan Coach Bo Schembechler. I think the national championship is in the balance.

He said he told his players if Pittsburgh beats Georgia, It doesnt make any difference. The two best teams in the country are playing in the Rose Bowl.

John Robinson, in his first year as Trojan coach, conceded that the "whole national championship thing is subjective. But I can say if we beat Michigan, well be national cham-

pion, just like Michigan can say it is the national champion if it wins.

A record Rose Bowl Stadium crowd of nearly 107,000 is expected for the 2 p.m. PST game, which will be televised nationally.

Michigan is making its first appearance since 1972, when it tost 13-12 to Stanford on a field goal by Rod Garcia in the final 12 seconds. Two years earlier, the Wolverines lost to Southern Cal, 10-3, while Schembechler former Miami of Ohio coach and^ then in his first year at Mitigan lay hospitalized with a heart sttack suffered the nigit before. Defensive coordinator Jim Young ran the team.

The Wolverines own a 4-2 Rose Bowl record, including a 49-0 drubbing of Stanford in the . 1902 inaugural game.

The Trojans will be extending their record to 21 appearances. 'Theyve won 14 and tost six, the last setback coming in 1974, 42-21 to Ohio State. They won the next year 18-17 over the Buckeyes, Big Ten Conference representatives the past four years.

Ohio State and Michigan tied for the conference title this year with a 7-1 record, but the Wolverines earned the trip by trouncing the Bucks 22-0.

Southern Cal beat out UCLA for the Pacific Eight champkm-ship to earn its spot in the granddaddy of the bowl games.

Running backs Ricky Bell of use and Rob Lytle of Michigan are the keys to their respective offensive games. Both are All-Americans.

Other key players to watch from Michigan are wingback Jim Smith, a senior noted for making the big play catches {md sophomore quarterback Rick Leach, runs the q)-tion simerbly, has rushed for 604 yards and passed for 897 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Southern Cal, besides Bells running, features fine blocking and running from fullbacks Dave Farmer and Mosi Tatupu. Quarterback Vince Evans has improved greatly from last year. He scrambles and often hits receivers Randy Simmrin (31 catches) and Shelton Diggs (29).

Marshall Tops Appalachian

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) Marshall Universitys basketball team knocked off Southern Conference leader Appalachian State 84-79 in overtime Thursday night as forward Harley Major dumped in 21 points and pulled down 14 rebounds.

The victory snapped Marshalls three-game losing streak. It also gave the conference a preview of what to expect next season whi the Thundering Herd becomes eligible to compete for the league championship.

Marshall led throughout the first half and was on top 38-34 at intermission. The Thundering Herd built up the margin to eight points early in the second period only to see Appalachian State, behind big Tony Searcy, whittle away at the lead.

The visitors, now 5-4, caught Marshall at 51-all on Searcys three point pl^ with 12:30 remaining. The lead went back and forth and Appalachian State was ahead 73-71 with 1:41 left.

Dave Millers tip-in knotted

the score at 73-all.

Appalachian State then held the ball waiting for a final shot. The plan failed, however, as Major blocked Walter Andersons short jump shot with two seconds remaining.

Marshall dominated the overtime period with Major scoring five points.and Miller adding four. Marshall went ahead for good at 77-75 and led by as many as six before the game ended.

Five Marshall players finished in double figures. In addition to Major. Greg Young had 18 points, while Charlie Novak. Miller and Carlos Gibson added 14. 13 and 11 respectively.

Searcy led all scorers with 28 points and also grabbed 11 rebounds. Anderson added 16 and Calvin Bowser mtributed 15 for the losers.

Neither team shot well. Marshall connected on 32 of 81 shots for 39.4 per cent, while Appalachian State had a miserable 33.3 per cent, connecting on only 27 of 81 attempts.

Tony Reed, who gained 1.210 yards this season and drew praise from Mallory as an Archie Griffin-type football player.

Griffin, who twice won the Heisman Trophy in his career at Ohio State, sat at the speaker's table Thursday as Mallor\-showed film clips which included some of Reed's long, sidestepping runs.

I^illback Jim Kelleher added 615 yards and scored 15 touchdowns and Buffalo quarterback Jeff Knapple completed 60 of 136 passes for 904 yards and three touchdowns.

Our offense is not a fancy offense, but has good variety to it. said Mallory, whose Buffaloes, 8-3, shared the Big Eight title with Oklahoma and Oklahonqa State and are ranked 12th nationally.

Hayes said his 11th ranked Buckeyes. 8-2-1, Big Ten cochampions with Michigan, "has been featured pretty strongly by our defensive unit

"Its obvious its going to be a heck of a football game. said Hayes. Well play a good ball game. Well have to.

RALEIGH - Theres something about the East Carolina purple that seems to bring out the best in other basketball teams.

Take for instance the last two nights in Raleighs Reynolds Coliseum. Duke University shot the eyes out of the basket Wednesday .night in taking an 88-65 win over the Pirates.

Then, last night, N.C. State, a team that has been troubled by all kinds of problems during the early days of the season, put together its best game of. the year to pull off a 92-69 win over Uie Bucs.

It all left ECU Coach Dave Patton wondering what he can do to calm down the opposition to somewhat near human status for the rest of the year.

And what made him even unhappier was the way Duke played in the first game last night, as it took an 87-77 win over Rice. The Blue Devils were no where near the same form they were in against East Carolina.

State, however, played nearly flawless ball in the first halt of its game with the Pirates, hitting 54.1 per cent of its shots from the floor, and holding a 25-16 rebound edge.

That all turned into a 52-26 halftime lead and the sure look of a full-fledged rout.vFor the first seven minutes of the second half, it didnt get any better for the Pirates, as the State lead climbed all the way to 33 points. 67-34.

But something seemed to happen to the Pirates after that. They sucked it up. and began to do the things that Patton and his staff wanted them to do. They worked the boards, they shot the kind of percentage they needed and they made it a good deal more respectable than it might appear from the score.

Duri; ^ that second half, the Pirates hit an even 50.0 per cent of their shots, including 60 per cent of their free throws, a much better figure than in their previous five halves. The Pirates outrebounded the Wolfpack, 26-23, and generally did a much better job in defense and offense.

During those last 13 minutesand against States first linethe Pirates outplayed the Pack, 35-25. The only problem was they were too far back for it to be a real rally.

"We got intimidated, scared and out of the things we wanted to do. Patton said. We got

down and we couldnt recover. We were impatient and we took bad shots. We had no rebounding in the first half. So you can see what happens when you play a great ball team like State.

The coach and his players had a long talk following the game, and Patton feels that the Pirates will come out of the two night stand a better team for it. We just have to stick with our stuff when it gets tough. As soon as we get confident, do what were supposed to do and not get impatient, I think well be okay.

Im proud of our kids. They really could have gotten blown away out there. But they showed a lot of pride and character in coming back likithey did.

The Pirates stuck close to State during the early minutes of the game, falling down early by 10-2, but clawing their way back to a 10-10 tie. They tied it again at 12-12, but State pulled away after that as Clyde (The'Glide) Austin, Hawkeye Whitney and Kenny Carr led the parade of points.

Over the next six minutes, State ran its lead out to 13 points, at 31-18, and then, during the final four and a half minutes of the half, decimated the Pirates. 18-5 for the big 52-26 halftime margin.

The Pack continued to pull away during the first seven minutes of the second half, outhitting the Bucs. 15-8, during

that span.

But after that, the Pirates came to life, and fought back. They closed the gap down to as little as 19 points behind the leadership of Greg Cornelius and Jim Ramsey. After coming back to within 15 at 78-63, time became the most important factor as State was able to hold the Bucs off with a streak of eight points during the fourth final minute.

Carr led the Wolfpack scoring with 24 points, while A1 Green and Brian Walker each had 14 and Austin had 10.

East Carolina was led by Ramsey \i(ith 20, while Cornelius and Herb Gray each ha 14 and Larry Hunt had 12.

Carr led the State rebounding with 10, whUe Glenn Sudhop had seven. Hunt had 10 for the Pirates, while Cornelius had eight and Gray picked off seven.

East Carolina returns home to host the University of New Hampshire on Tuesday night in Minges Coliseum, seeking to even its record at 5-5.

This may be the best game we have ever played, said Kentucky Coach Joe Hall after the summit meeting of national powers in Louisville, Ky. I just don't know how good we are.

We did a lot of hard work starting Christmas night, said I the Kentucky coach. We approached the game low-key and then emotion took over.

That intense Wildcat emotion took the fight out of the Fight-! ing Irish early.

They got the momentum quickly and we had 15 turnovers, said Notre Dame Coach Digger Phelps after losing his , first game in eight starts. I'm sure they had something to do with that. We just didn't get into the game.

Gregg Is Top Coach

By MIKE HARRIS AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND (AP) - Forrest Gregg is a Lombardi man hewn from tall Texas oak, capable of emotion ranging from tears to flights of fearful rage.

In the past two years, since becoming the fourth head coach of the Cleveland Browns, Gregg has agonized through a nine-game losing string, a 3-11 record arid a much more fearful bout with cancer.

That agony is behind him now.

The bone cancer in his leg is beaten, his team has returned to respectability with a 9-5 record and, Thursday, Forrest Gregg was named by The Associated Press as the 1976 National Football League Coach of The Year.

The former all-pro offensive lineman, who played for the legendary Vince Lombardi at Green Bay and for Tom Landry at Dallas, found himself choking back tears ^d emotion, unsuccessfully, to keep his voice calm when informed of his selection.

I'm sort of at a loss for words. Greggh said, his voice a quiet rumble with the twang of his native Texas. I appreciate the honor, especially considering the men 1 was competing with to get it.

If struggle and hard work had anything to do with it. then my whole staff and the team derves to share it with me, Gregg said.

Kent Benson, Indiana's All-American center, had foul trouble and wound up with only eight points.

John Kuester scored 22 points as North Carolina broke away from Weber State midway through the second half. The Tar Heels held a six-point lead at the half and wrapped up the game with a 26-10 spurt.

Bob Elliott collected 27 points and Herman Harris had 18 to lead Arizona pa^ SMU. James Bradley fired hr 16 points and Memphis States full-court press bothered Arkansas all night in the Tigers upset over the Razorbacks.

Conley Free Throws Help Defeat Rampants

By JIM KYLE Reflector Sports Writer It has ofti been said that basketball games are won and lost at the free throw line and thats exactly where the Rose High Rampants were beaten by D. H. Conley in the final game of the Rose Holiday Doubleheader last night.

Viking accuracy at the foul line, combined with inaccuracy by Rose, enabled Conley to stretch a three-point lead in the fourth quarter to the final margin of 16,76-60.

The Rampants, down by as many as 15 points in the third

those trips were one-and-one opportunities on which the Rampants failed to connect on the first try.

In addition. Rose was forced to foul in the final minutes and sent Viking Daryl Thompson to the charity stripe for one-and-ones five times during the last 2:20. Thompson hit 10 of 10.

The game was even until late in the first period when Rose, hampered by seven turnovers in the quarter, was outscored 10-2 in the lst two and a half minutes to give the Vikings a 25-16 lead at the end of the period.

A minute and a half later, Greg Guthrie hit the first end of a one-and-one to cut the lead to three, 60-57. But thats when the Rampants trouble at the foul line started.

Tedder Might Be Heel Leader

By TOM SALADINO AP Sports Writ

ATLANTA (AP) - If taU-back Mike Voight of North Carolina needed a breather or his jersey was ripped off his back, LARRY Tedder was the guy who replaced the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year this season.

Today, however, Tedder may be the key to the North Carolina offense when the Tar Heels face the Kentucky Wildcats in the ninth annual Peach Bowl bfore a sellout crowd of 60,000-plus in Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium.

Voight, a second-team All-American who carried the ball 315 times and gained 1,407 yards on the ground this season, and 3,971 in his career, is questionable for the classic after suffering a sprained ankle in practice Wednesday.

Enter Tedder, a 6-foot-O, 195-pound junior, who has backed up Voight for two seasons and gained a mere 114 yards on 34 carries in 1976.

I hope Mike will be ready and Im praying for him b cause I know this game means so much since its the last one of his collegiate career, Tedder said Friday.

For me, however, its a dream come true. Ive always wanted an opportunity to play although I hate the way its come about, said the 20-yar-old from Ralei^.

I dont feel nervous and Im confident I can do the job. Its been tough playing in Mikes shadow for two years. I was always the guy who went in for a

Coach Bill Dooley of North Carolina says Voights status will not be known until game time.

We really wont know until we stand him up, said Dooley. He has been in bed since it happened.

Xrays were negative but Voight has had ice packs on the ankle and kept it elevated since Wednesday night.

Kentuclty, 74, of the Southeastern Conference, is a six-point favorite over the Tar Heels, 9-2.

The Wildcats are led by junior quarterback Derrick Ramsey, a 6-foot-5, 220-pounder who led the nations quarterbacks in rushing with 771 yards and passed for another 659 yards.

The weather bureau predicts partly sunny skies with temperatures in the low 40s for the contest.

Jeff Fields, who averaged 18 points, and James Baker, 4 averaged 11, were the two other Jaguars named to the team.

Virgil Pilgreen, who averaged 18.5 points for the sies, was named to the All-Tournament team from North Pitt along with Donnie Perkins (15-point average) and Kenneth Roberson (11.5-point average).

With the Lords help. Ill be able to do well. I may be a big opportunity for me but Ill need a little extra strength that He may be able to provide, he said.

Mike Cox, who scored 14 points for D. H. Conley against Farmville Central and 17 against Rose, was named to the all-star team, along with teammate Daryl Thompson, whose accuracy at the free throw line was instrumental in the Vikings win over Rose.

Greg Guthrie, whose 32 points a^inst North Pitt was the highest individual scoring effort of the Doubleheader, was named to the team from Rose. He is joined by teammate Anthony Bryant, who averaged 10 points in the tourney and brought the crowd to its feet in both Rose games with dunks.

Guthrie hit another jump shot with 6:17 left and then Bryant stole the ball on the Vikings inbounds play and layed it in to cut the lead to four.

When Guthrie hit a free throw with 4:39 left to cut it to three, that was a close as the Rampants could get.

Guthrie missed his second attempt but Derek Brewington pulled down the rebound and was fouled. He went to the line with a one-and-one but missed.

Slalom Event Is Postponed

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) -The Can-Am ski series starts Wednesday; but the first race, a giant slalom, will not be held here at Whiteface Mountain as scheduled, according to state officials.

Environmental Conservation Commissioner Peter A.A. Berle told the race chairman. Serge Lussi, that because of the need to provide man-made snow for recreational skiing the state would not be able to provide snow on the thruway trail used for giant slalom races.

Lussi said Thursday that he had no doubts about ccmducting the race, adding that moving a ski race is a very common thing because of lack of snow sometimes with no more than one days notice.

Canada Sees Hopes For Arctic Wealth Dwindling

By PETER ARNETT AP Special Correspondent

MELVDLIiE ISLAND, Arctic Sea (AP) Its down there somewhere, under land permanently frozen half a mUe deep: 20 billion barrels of oil, and 40 trillion to 240 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. That is what the geologists claim.

But increasing numbers of Canadians are beginning to realize that their dreams of vast, needed energy resources waiting to be plucked from the barren icelands by modem technology are still largely wishful thinking.

There has been dramatic exploration. Oil rigs have been tussling with 700-foot tall floating ice mountains in Iceberg Alley off the Labrador coast. Divers have been on the ocean floor 1,000 feet below the surface of the Artlc Sea to emplace equipment.

There have been some tan-tilizing finds to justify some of the hundreds of millions of dollars sunk into the search. What is described as one of the best gas wells in the world has been drilled on King Christian Island in the High Arctic. When it is flared for visitors, the flame can be seen from 50 miles away. The Mackenzie River Delta quickly revealed a billion barrels of oil when exploration moved into high gear three years ago.

The unhappy reality for Canadians and the multinational compani^ financing the work, however, is that the finds so far are nowhere near as significant as fields in the Alaskan North Slope, and the British North Sea. None of the energy resources so far discovered in northern Canada can yet be economically marketed, a situation also disquieting to north-em-tier Americans who have grown totally dependent on Canadian natural gas.

The situation could further deteriorate for these reasons, according to oil industry and government officials:

A money shortage. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on Canadian arctic exploration so far for no dollar return, and much more capital is required, particularly to build the pipelines to bring it to markets in the south.

There are serious questions about whether there will be enough oil and gas up there to justify the enormous exploration costs.

Canadian federal government moves to chop away at foreign ownership of the oil companies with tough new regulations is lessening industry enthusiasm for the energy search.

Emerging political awareness of the native Indians and Eskimos who populate part of

the sparse arctic lands threatens to delay or stop exploration and transportation plans.

In Canada many people still think that great multinational companies are jostling each other to invest in Canadian energy, U.S. Ambassador nioms Enders told an Ottawa audience recently. In fact, the energy opportunities and returns are more attractive elsewhere, including the United States, he said.

Huge costs, staggering even to the multinational corporations, are common in the Inhospitable arctic. Drilling in the Beauford Sea off the Mackenzie Delta cost the industry $30 million per hole, the most costly single projects ever drilled, according to the Bank of Montreal.

Dome Petroleum this year began a $500 million project, gambling that oil and gas lie under the Beaufort Sea, but other multinationals have cooled off to the once-golden Mackenzie Delta region, and are considering joining the Canadian government in the High Arctic archipelago.

Just $100 million more and we could cross our gas threshold of 20 trillion cubic feet needed to justify a pipeline, said Charles Hertherington, president of Panarctic Oil, a c(Hisortium of 29 companies that has spent half of the $500 million already invested in

Liquor-By-.The-Drink Bill Given Little Hope

By NOEL YANCEY Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH (AP) - .Politicians have long memories. So, they suspect, have the people.

When they are asked about what chances local option 11-quor-by-the-drink legislation will have in the 1977 General Assembly, many recall that the people spoke out resoundly against mixed drinks a few years ago. So, they saw no need to resurrect the issue so soon. Thats the main thing a proposal for local option liquor-

Water Heater Is No. 1 'Guzzler'

NEW YORK (AP) - Spotting the energy guzzlers among home appliances and shifting their use to off-peak hours will help reduce the size of future Increases in electric bills.

Shifting to off-peak means using appliances in the evening when power consumption is lower and electricity is produced at a utilitys most efficient stations usually fired by coal or nuclear energy, according to the General Public UtUities Corp.

A hot water heater in the home is by all odds the No. i energy guzzler. It uses almost four times as much electricity as the next most energy-hungry affiance, the electric oven and range. The clothes dryer is No. 3 in the pecking order of electricity users, followed by the dlshwa^r and clothes washer.

by-the-drink legislation has against it as the 1977 General Assembly nears.

Even so, local option legislation appears to stand a better chance than it has in recent years.

I voted for it before, said Rep. John Ed Davenport, D-Nash, but in view of what the people said in the election, 1 think they have told us pretty resoundly they dont want it. I think it will pass, said Sen. James B. Garrison, D-Stanly, I feel like the large counties Mecklenburg, Guilford and Buncome will promote it. I think they should have the right to vote on it if they want to.

Im doubtful it will pass in view of the overwhelming vote of the people against it statewide, said Rep. Roberts Jemi-gan, D-Hertford.

I would say it will have a hard time, said Rep. William W. Watkins, IMJranvUle, the House majority leader in the 1975-76 (Jeneral Assembly.

I really dont know what chance it has, said Sen. Kenneth Royall, D-Durham, but 1 think it stands a better chance than it did before. People in counties that dont want it (hmt

have to have it and people in counties that want it can have it.

I dont see any point in bringing it up until somebody has a fresh idea, said Rep. J. P. Huskins, D-Iredell.

They (backers of local option liquor-by-theKlrink) havent got a chance in my opinion. said Sen. J. J. Monk Harrington, D-Bertie.

A local opticm bill has a much better chance than what was submitted to the people. said Sen. John Henley, D-Cum-berland, the Senate majority leader.

Incidentally, Gov.-elect Jim Hunt opposes liquor-by-the-drink. He said he thinks it will aggravate such problems as drunkenness and drunken driving.

Menus Planned By Taste Panel

STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. (UPI) Ciiildren at the Rockbridge Elementary School here have lunch their way.

Cafeteria manager Miriam Dameron has organized a rotating taste panel of fourth through sevmth graders to taste new recipes and unusual foods, discuss them in classes and encourage classmates to sample the foods at lunchtime.

Ms. Dameron said the program enlisted more students in the schod lunch program and helped reduce plate waste. The panel changes every six weeks.

High Arctic exploration. Pan-arctic claims to have tapped 15 trillion feet of-gas so far.

Other companies have dropped out of the Arctic Islands. Drilling in 1976 was around 75,0(K) feet compared to 220,000 feet in 1973. But the expenditure so far is a mere pittance compared to what future costs are going to be, said I. H. Mackay, oil and gas manager of the Bank of Montreal in Calgary, Alberta.

The Polar Gas pipeline, one of five proposals for transporting oil and gas south from the arctic, would cost $10 billion for the 3,000-mile trip to Canadian and American natural gas markets. Multibillion dollar sums are also mentioned for the other four pipeline proposals, inclqding the once-favored joint Canada-U.S. pipeline down the Mackenzie River Valley that seems to have fallen into disfavor.

Exploration attention is now centered on two arctic regions the islands, and the eastern coastal waters off Labrador. The Arctic Islands are one of North Americas last frontier regions. They sit almost at the tq> of the world, encased most of the year in ice. Polar bears amble across the generally monotonous landscape of flat and rolling terrain, sometimes attacking man. Four oil workers have been killed by polar bears in the past three years.

White wolves frolic with dogs in the drilling camps. Musk ox appear on distant ridge lines.

Caims of rocks left by explorers dot some of the coves. A Panarctic drilling crew recently found a bottle left on a beach by a French explorer in 1906 containing his last will and testament addressed to his daughter, and a St. Christopher medal.

Seven large gas fields have

been discovered so far, and one well on Cameron Island yields around 5,000 barrels of oil a day.

Headquarters for Panarctic exploration is Rea Point on Melville Island, 600 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The camp is a cluster of mobile homes and house trailers, sealed together to ward off the winter cold of 40 degrees below zero.

For the workers, two weeks of duty in the High Arctic is followed by a week at home. A top equipment operator can make $30,000 a year.

Off the Canadian east coast, exploration has been moving

steadily northward after disappointing results off Nova Scotia and the Grand Banks.

Discoveries in the deep and. hostile waters in Iceberg Alley off Labrador have been more q>timistic, and Eastcan L^d., a consortium, has made two gas'strikes from four wells, and hq>es for a conunercial discovery within the next five years.

The area is aptly named. An estimated 400 icebergs, some amile long, others up to eight million tons in weight, travel each year down the Labrador coast. One like these sank the Titanic in 1912.

Canadian nationalism has directly affected the oil industry. The government is seeking a major part of the Canadian oil industry, 90 per coit of which is currently owned by foreigners, mainly Amricans.

Canadian partners must now be taken to produce newly found fields. Long-term leasing has ended, and royalty payments have been altered. The government has just pulled the rug from under northern development; drilling on federal land will almost come to a halt, complained one industry observer.

Preferential treatment is being given Petro-Canada, a government-owned energy corporation, that is moving into exploration on a large scale.

The political awareness of the Indians and Eskimos in the arctic region have been heightened by the energy search. Peace treaties did not give the federal government full title to the land, and now both the Eskimos and Indians have asked for provinces of their own. If both claims were granted, more than a third of Canada would revert to the indigenous peoples.

ARCTIC SEARCH FACES OBSTACLES - Smoke UDowb fram fire set near an exploratory dl wdl at Cameron Island in the Arctic. The Arctic energy search is facing obstacles because none of the resources so far discovoed in nMthan Canada can yet be

probably be a waiting bid of two clubs. However, the jump to three spades was certainly a reasonable choice. Both players then launched into a series of cue-bids, which inevitably propelled them to a small slam in spades.

West selected a safe lead,, of his top diamond, and had there been another entry to South's hand, declarer could have ruffed two diamonds in dummy to come to twelve tricks. However, since he would have no convenient way back to his hand after ruffing a second diamond, he chose a high-percentage alternative line.

Declarer took two top diamonds, then ruffed a diamond in dummy. Next, he drew trumps in four rounds, discarding two clubs from dummy, followed by the top hearts. Now, he exited with a heart. Had the player with four hearts also started with no more than three diamonds, the contract would have sailed home. Unfortu nately. East was able to cash a diamond for down one.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - This is New Years Eve, lest you wonder why everyone keeps failing down and snoring like that. At dawn, theyll have to face the big Tournament of Roses parade on NBC and CBS.

Now, seeing brilliantly-hued flowers and happy mugs on TV at dawn is enough to make a guy swear off grog. So A1 Loh-man and Roger Barkley are offering Los Angeles-area sufferers an alternative.

The lads, who run a weird but popular morning radio show on KFI here, say theyll start 1977 with radios finest and only coverage of the Rose parade. Its for petle who cant stand flowers.

Lohman said a staff of experts from the show will be out in force come suniq) Saturday in Pasadena, Calif. One will perch in a tree, describing bald heads that go by in the Rose parade.

Another, Corwin Chester Ster-nhill, will be concealed in a float.

Theyre going to weave him right into the flowers, Lohman said. And Maynard Farmer, our farm director, is of course the grand marshal this year. Hes invited Roy Rogers and Dale Evans to ride with him.

$47 (Million Is Given Research

COLLEGE STATION, Tex. (PI) Texas A and M University received $47,014,844 for research last year, according to a survey conducted by the Coordinating Board, Texas College and University System.

Texas A and M funds accounted for 42 per cent of the total for all public institutions of higher learning in Texas, said the survey. The state-supported institutions received a total of $166.6 million dollars for the 1975-76 academic year.

certainly reasonable. However, he did have a better line available, which depended only on finding both major suits no worse than 4-2. After winning the opening lead, declarer should immediately concede a heart. Now, no return could hurt him. Declarer could win the next trick, ruff a diamond in dummy and then draw trumps. Now he could still get to dummy to run the hearts, thereby scoring four trump tricks, four hearts, two diamonds and a diamond ruff, and the ace of clubs twelve tricks in all.

(It should be explained there are doubts whether farm director Farmer exists. He has yet to be sighted at, KFI and has no known Social S^urity number. But I digress.)

Last but not least in radio coverage of the Rose Parade will be Miss W., the poetry lady on the Lohman and Barkley show.

She will be out lying in the middle of the parade route to describe the underneath of the floats, Lohman explained. She hates the job. She doesn't mind the floats. Its the horses that bother her.

Tonights New Years Eve wahoo starts with ABCs Donny and Marie Osmond show that makes note of New Years, while NBCs competition is the 43rd King Orange jamboree Parade in Miami.

Nothing much else happens in

prime time. But come 11:30 p.m. EST CBS has Guy Lombardo leading the band in New York its his 48th consecutive New Year's Eve bash while ABl competes for the younger trade, with Frankie Valll hosting New Years Rockin Eve.

NBC may take notice of a change of years at midnight, but it has nothing special on tap untU 1 a.m. EST, when Tonight bandleader Doc Sev-erinson starts a festivity lasting three whole hours.

Later Saturday, comes bowl madness in this order:

Sugar Bowl, Pittsburgh vs. Georgia, 12:45 p.m. EST, ABC.

Cotton Bowl, Maryland vs. Houston, 2 p.m. EST, CBS.

Rose Bowl, use vs. Michigan, 4:45 p.m. EST, NBC. NBC also is showing the Orange Bowl, Ohio State vs. Colorado, at 8 p.m. EST.

Theres no relief Sunday, CBS will air the Sun Bowl at 3 p.m., with Florida gladiators battling Texas A&M folks.

Miss all this if you must, but dont miss ABCs Sunday night movie, a Burt Reynolds flick called W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings.

Its hard to describe it, but it is mighty funny and concerns the oil business, old-time religion and efforts in the fields of gas station holdups, bank robbery and country music. None of it occurs in a bowl.

Then, Some People Will Not Celebrate New Year's

AN MILLBR Press Writer

I wish.^^ h Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year A pocket ftdl of money And a cellar full of beer.

And a good fat pig To serve you all the year Ladies and gentlemen Sitting by the fire Pity us poor boys Out in the mire.

This blithe ditty can be heard echoing through towns and cities of Scotland on New Years Day, when bands of children, some in masks and costumes, go from house to house wishing good cheer and asking for money or something to eat.

New Years tradititmally has been the biggest annual feast day in Scotland. But somehow between the docks of the British Isles and the shores of the American Colonies, the practice of dressing up and visiting

Estate Planning Needs Review

NEW YORK (UPI) - A national pension consultant says passage of the 1976 tax reform act makes it mandatory for an individual to review his estate plan and will. The Lambert M. Huppeler Co. points out that the law calls for major changes in such things as death benefits, personal service income and pensions.

homes became associated wittv Halloween.

Nonetheless, welcoming the New Year with festivity is among the oldest and universal of mans observances. The date of New Years Day has bounced all over the calendar since ancient times, but throughout it all man has demonstrated an innate urge to celebrate when the year finally rolls over and calls it quits.

The earliest known New Years parties were corked long before the Royal Canadians and the Waldorf even were thou^t about. Around 2000 B.C. in Mesopotamia a celebration occurred when the sun was near^t the spring equinox, mid-March; in Assyria, it was the autumn equinox, mid-September. Other cultures observed various days based on the movement of the stars and planets.

In 153 B.C., the Romans adopted the Julian Calendar, Institutionalizing Jan. 1 as New Years Day despite reservations by Julius Caesar. The emperor thought the March 25 date made more sense since it was linked to a harvest. But the confusion which already had resulted from the change, plus the fact that Jan. 1, 45 B.C., fell on a new moon (an unfavorable onten), dissuaded Caesar from tampering further with the calendar.

Americas Creek Indians, like many other agriculture-based tribes, centered their New Years celebrations around the harvest. The Green Com Dance, or Busk (a variation of

Bosklta, meaning to fast), occurred, when com was ready for roasting, in July or August.

Up to this point the Creeks had a strict taboo against eating any of the seasons com thus, the fast.

This greatly anticipated event, ususally four-days long, included dancing, brewing the Black Drink, and unmitigated feasting. It also signified regeneration, purging of the old and embracing the new. To demonstrate this, all old household articles, tools and weapons were destroyed and replaced with new ones.

Jan. 1 was not recognized by most of Christendom, which had observed Mhrch 25, until Pope Gregory instituted the Gregorian Calendar in 1582. Catholic Eurq)ean countries fell in line Immediately. But Protestant Europe was in the middle of its tumultuous reformation, and papal decrees fell on deaf ears.

Fishburger

Researched

NEW YORK (UPI) - WUl Americans take to fishburgers the way they have to hamburgers?

Government and industry are trying to find out. A coc^ra-tive project of the New York State Sea Grant Institute (Cornell University and State University of New York) and a private company is test-marketing frozen minced fish, ground like hamburger, in upstate Rochester, N.Y.

Dr. Robert Baker of Cornells food science department said the fish used is Lake Superior white sucker, a Great Lakes variety traditionally discarded by fishermen. Now, with mechanical deboning, it can be used for foods such as fishballs, sticks, burgers and hot dogs.

Sea Grant is a research, education and advisory service that has federal funding to help develop coastal resources and use them wisely. Its projects include increased use of sea foods, environmental issues and recreational and residential uses of coastlines.

It develops and relays information to government and citizens groups, educators, commercial enterprises and. through Cooperative Extension, offers informal educational programs to consumer and youth groups, among others.

who settled New Amsterdam.

Probably not far from where a glowing bail now descends over cheering throngs at Times Square, the stoutly convivial Dutch ushered in New Years Jan. 1 with their abundant wines and beers.

When the English took om-trol of New Amsterdam in 1674, they happily adopted their adversarys holiday. In fact, they even tried to improve upon it by adding an annual turkey shoot.

But apparently finding that high spirits and high explosives didnt mix well, the New York

State Legislature in 1773 outlawed shooting of pins or igniting explosives of any sort on *hat day.

for a while in Puritan New England, a compromise between the English and the Dutdi was found by celebrating New Years Day on Dec. 25, Christmas Day.

One Dutch tradition which caught on in America was that of holding <^>en house on New Years. Colonial New Yorkers often published in newspapers that they would be at home at particular hours of the day, at which time neighbors and

friends could stop by to share hdiday punch and express compliments of the season.

This practice applied even at the White House, where every president from John Adams (the first resident there) to Franklin D. Roosevelt played host to their cabinets and to members of Congress. Roosevelt discontinued the practice in 1934 because his paralysis made it difficult for him to endure l(ig reception lines.

Among the countries today

that do not celebrate New Years Jan. 1 are The Republic of China (Taiwan), Afganistn, Libya, Burma, Ethiopia, Nepal, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somali, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand and Yemen.

With continued efforts to make holidays fit neatly into three-day weekends, we may yet see another shuffle in the calendar. But it would be hard to improve iqson the wish of a pocket full of money and a cellar full of beer.

Fell In Love Sharing An Artificial Kidney

By JOE FRAZIER Associated Press Writer

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -Mike Leite and Robin Perry lost their hearts on the artificial kidney machine.

The couple, who met at the kidney dialysis ward of Good Samaritan Hospital here where both get regular treatment for kidney failure, announced their engagement Thursday. They plan to marry in September.

Since 1974, both had been spending 24 hours a week attached to the machine, which fulfills the kidneys function of cleaning the blo(^.

Miss Perry, 22, was On the morning shift, and got off the machine at noon. Leite, 26, came on at 1 p.m. for his treatment.

They met when she ran late one day and he arrived early.

This nurse at the ho^ital was always trying to set me up with people, said Leite, an administrative trainee at the U.S. Veterans Administration Hospital here. One day she stuck a piece of paper with Robins phone number in my pocket, and 1 gave her a call.

Last Valentines Day, they went out for the first time.

The couple said they are in a better position to understand each others problems because they both have to go through the process three times a week.

If one of us feels bad after a run (a stint on the dialysis machine) the other can understand it better, Leite said. We can relate to each other better.

They plan a weeks honeymoon in Hawaii after their wedding, but will have to make arrangements to get the treatments while they are away.

Most of the $23,000 annual cost of treatments is paid for by Medicare. The rest is paid for by insurance and by the Kidney Association of Oregon, which operates on contributions.

Leite jogs regularly and says kidney patients can do almost anything other people can, except that we might not be as strong as someone else.

Since Leites condition is hereditary, the couple said they probably will adi^t children.

China's Radicals Seen A AAajor Regime Threat

By JOHN RODERICK Associated Press Writer TOKYO (AP) New reports of violence in China suggest that though Mao Tse-tungs widow and her three leading party allies are under arrest, their radical followers still pose a powerful threat to the new Peking regime,

Maos successor, Communist party Chairman Hua Kuo-feng, recognized this danger in a Dec. 25 speech when he called on the masses to wage a peoples war in 1977 against the gang of four and their adherents.

The latest reports say armed radicals clashed with the ruling moderates in Paoting, a key rail center 100 miles southwest of Peking. It took a concerted effort by the army to put an end to great chaos in the city, the official reports said. They did not say when the violence occurred.

Hua said last weekend that a planned coup by radicals led bv

Maos widow, Chiang Ching, was put down without firing a single shot or shedding a drop of blood. Hua insisted the situation was very stable in the aftermath of the arrest of the four radicals in October on charges of treason.

Enough seems to have happened in Paoting, however, to cast doubt on Huas.^aitns.

stitutions, Chiang Chinas faction could count on sotne elements of the militia, millions of radical-minded youths trained as Red Guards during the 1966-69 Cultural Revolution and later in the universities, and thousands of party cadres who owed their jobs to Madame Mao.

The moderate press claims that Chiang Chings efforts to subcert the militia in Shanghai and elsewhere were stopped by

Chinas vastness, its huge p^m%^ loyal militiamen and that

lation and the fact that the radicals were strongly^ influential in the decade preceding Maos death last September.

In gaining power, the moderates had the backing of the 2.5-million-man army, the party elders and the immense Chinese bureaucracy. As long as these elements remain firm, and as long as they continue to control the mass media, they seem likely to prevail.

, hanghais workers have ipmed against the four, who nad depended on that port city of 10 million as a power base.

But little has been said about the current role of the students, who only a few months ago were denouncing the moderate policies of the late Premier Chou En-lai and if the moderates are to be believed never hesitated to imprison or otherwise suppress their critics.

Told for years that they were the vanguards of the revolution and that to rebel was right, many of these youths undoubtedly still see the new order as a betrayal of communism. These students, trained in violence during the Cultural Revolution, may now have gone underground.

Parents Opt For Values Of 'Traditional School'

By MONTE PLOTT Associated Press Writer

CHARLOTTE (AP) - Mrs Donald Collins wants her chll dren to learn my values honesty and truth and patriotism as well as the academ ics." So her children are enrolled at a school where the teaching is much the same as it was when Mrs. Collins was a girl

Her two young sons attend Myers Park Elementary, a public school but a unique one among the 105 in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg system. Myers Park is a traditional school, where the program is structured tightly on the old ideas of discipline, respect for the teachers, grades and the basic of education.

The school is part of the local systems three-year-old optional school program. Myers Park Elementary is the only traditional school; four other schools offdr an experimental and open curriculum wherein classes are loosely structured and students progress at whatever is determined to be their own rate.

In the midst of educational experimentation and promotions for pupils who merely show up for class, Myers Park Elementary is a haven for parents who want to avoid what Mrs. Collins calls the hodgepodge of regular schools.

I know that unless my child completes what he is supposed to, he will have to repeat that grade. I like that, she said.

The regime is structured, from the morning thought for the day read by principal Lewis Walker to the neatly straight rows of desks and quiet in the classrooms.

Until recently, some classes were holding lunchtime prayers. But when the prayers were publicized, school officials called for an end to them because of U.S. Supreme Court cotings.

Walker did as his superiors ordered, but het it be known that he supported the principle of allowing students to express their religious beliefs in school.

For all its strictness and emphasis on grades, Myers Park Elementary does not lack stu-

Dropped In Out Of Blue

BOONE, N.C. (AP) - The Watauga County Rescue Squad has a problem that literally dropped on it from the blue.

The squad suddenly finds itself called upon to retrieve and patch up hang gliders who are apt to have trouble either getting up or getting down in the countys rugged terrain.

Were having a lot of it around town this year, said squad chief Roy Moretz. Its a real growing sport.

The mountainous areas around Boone are ideal for the high elevations needed for a hang glider to gain enough airspeed to get airborne, but the sport is tricky for those without proper training.

And Moretz said his squad must sometimes hack its way through dense woods and undergrowth to reach downed gliders who may be hurt.

His biggest concern is what may happen if somebody crash lands in a tree. He is training his 22 volunteers now in the art of climbing above a hung-up glider pilot to lower him to the ground.

Weve worked out a pretty good system if theyre not too far off the ground, he said.

Moretz said a locai gliding school has offered to help and he may seek additional training for his men from a nearby college ROTC unit and perhaps military paratroopers.

Two Accidents In City Yesterday

Two traffic accidents resulted in an estimated $1,700 hi damages yesterday, according to Greenville police reports.

A three-car collision on Memorial Drive resulted in damages estimated at $300 to a car driven by Mollie Nobles Sullivan of Winterville; $300 to a car driven by Loleta Pittman Allen of Grifton; and $300 to a car driven by Vickie Annette Nichols of Ayden. No injuries were reported. No charges were file^ in connection with the accident.

An accident at the intersection of Greene Street and Fourth Street resulted in an estimated $500 in damages to a car driven by Bemetta Branch Smith of 2109 S. Village Dr. and an estimated $300 in damages to a car driven by Vergie Best Ward pf 1228 Farmviile Blvd. No injuries or arrests were reported.

dents. Enrollment at all the optional schools is by request of the student or parent, and lotteries are used when there are too many applicants.

We dont have much of a turnover, Walker said. Weve had a few cases where there was a lack of understanding about the school, and the student would be withdrawn. But

usually about the only way we have vacancies is by students progressing or moving out of the county.

The school maintains a ratio of about 30 per cent black pupils, more than required by the school system, Walker said.

The idea of a schod emphasizing traditional methods and values was put forward by a

group of parents, and parents still have a voice in the operation of the school.

Mre. Collins, who is president of the PTA, said parents confer frequently with teachers and school administrators.

Walker handpicks the teachers from throughout the system, basing his selection on how teachers feel about dis

cipline, grades and teacher educational basics.

We wanted to have a school with basic skills taught, with the teacher in charge in a self-contained classroom and with competative grading. Weve got that, he said.

I think its working very successfully.

Ted scores bear him out.

Scores from last year show all the optional schools scoring higher than regular schools in the system, but Myers Park Elementary led In reading comprehension.

It hasnt been easy, Walker said.

"I think the administration has been unfavorable to the idea of traditional schools from

the beginning. At first, it was more of a tdmtion thing.

Dr. Chris Folk, one Of the four managers of the Charlotte system, said there are no plans to expand the traditional school concept in the near future, but some parts of the program may be impiem^ited in regular schools.

I think the whole ideh for us

is to look at traditional schools and see what, Indeed, we can transfers, Folk said.

Mrs. Cdlins said she would like to see a traditional Junior hi) or high school, comparable to open classes now available, but she said she especially wanted her children to have a traditional educational program in elementary schools.
