This incident brings to light an incomplete inventory ,of Chowan County records or ian error in judgment by special ists from our Department of Archives and History. Maybe both. It appears that the good di rector has had his feelings hurt. A shadow has been cast over his department. Such is usually the case when a de partment as important as the one .Dr. Crittenden heads does a sloppy job.

Perhaps a lack of spirit at home, a reti cence by parents to encourage their children as much as they could—and should. After all, charity isn’t, the only thing 'that begins at home. Naturally the picture is not all one of milk and honey; uniforms cost money, as do instruments, music, and occas ional transportation expenses. v 4 g° o< ! band does not come cheaply; quality in music, as in anything else, is expensive. . Os course, the school 'board '"subsidizes the hand, but this Ids not enough. For this reas on, the Band Parents’ Associa tion has planned several fund »Sta ising projects, most '"immi- of which is a Sunday to he held on March gljil. This will be held from 'twelve until two o’clock in -”kthe cafeteria of John A. f Holmes High School. For the reasonable price of $1.25 for adults, 75 cents for children, either chicken or ham can be had, with the appropri ate vegetables plus dessert. After dinner, digestion will Jbe aided, free of charge, by a Concert held by the band, in the adjoining auditorium at 3:30. • -1 Few people realize the amount of time and energy • which goes into such a con ‘'■'cert. Surely you, the public, can do your part. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. MARCH 4. 1965. From Our Yellowed Pages AS FOUND IN THE EII.ES OF THE CHOWAN H MIAMI 30 YEARS AGO J. A.
