PAGE TWO SECTION ONE I BROAD STREET BULLETIN I’m happy for the gift of days, As I wake each morning to the sun’s bright rays. Each hour is precious as my steps I trod,. I’m truly grateful for these gifts from God. Having had another birth day this past week, brings on the realisation that 1 m no longer young, but yet not old—just sort of in-be tween. With good health and a good life, growing old er doesn’t seem too bad. Having someone to share these blessings, too, makes life just about perfect. Do we all realize our cap abilities? Despite our in valuable ability to reason, most of us are blinded by emotional prejudices, pre venting us from self-evalua tion. Some of us are afraid to exploit our inner resources or to risk an attempt at goals which seem far out of reach. It takes courage, but you’ll never know what you can do unless you dare to try. We spent this past week end in the rolling hills and mountains of Maryland, where most of the time the scenery is beautiful. How ever, the long dry spell which had affected our vi cinity seems widespread and most of the crops up there have been lost. Lima beans were a dollar a quart and corn on the cob was 80 cents per dozen. Makes living mighty high. It was a nice weekend, however, visiting relatives and friends—a time to remember. Our own Mr. Shoaf is in the hospital, ,no doubt getting the rest he deserves and needs. He has given unselfishly of his time and energy to many people, help ing them at the cost of his own health. We are hoping and praying that he will soon be back to his normal health. It’s time to take geranium cuttings for strong plants which will begin to bloom when the days start to get long this winter. The cut tings should be free from strong healthy plants and should be 4 to 6 inches long. Remove the lower leaves from the cuttings, leaving two or three at the top. If there is a flower bud, cut it off. ' Root promoting hor mone can be used and will result in stronger, healthier plants. Partial shade is best for the cuttings until they EDENTON SHOP EVERY Friday Night TIL 1 A * jMgjl O'CLOCK SAVE root in about four weeks I and then plenty of sunlight I Enclose the potted cuttings I in a plastic bag, which will I reduce the need for water- I ing. As soon as the tops I begin to grow, pinch out the I tip. This will cause side I roots to develop lower on I the stem and assure a bush' I and attractive plant that will I produce many more flowers. I (By the way, I would lovi I to have a cutting of a Rose I Geranium from someone). I Helpful Hints A toy water pistol is £ I useful accessory to squirt I charcoal whenever it flares I in the barbecue pit. If you want to see how I paint will look when dry or. I a wall, brush a sample on a I clean white blotter. Egg beaters and potato I mashers are easier to wash I if plunged in cold water I right after using. Sew buttons on with den- I tal floss it’s stronger and I lasts longer than regular I thread. Fasten an extra key chain I with your name on the tag I on your umbrella. Might I help a lost umbrella find its I way home. I failed to do I this, so that my favorite blue I umbrella is still lost. Glimpses A new ring on the finger I of pretty Ellene Tarkington.

He said if I •he teachers agree to switch I schools and it will satisfy I the federal requests, then I some action should be taker I immediately. He was referring to a let- I ter from the U. S. Office of I Education, dated June 27, in I which it was stated that I “steps proposed in staff de- I segregation are not adequate I in your situation to accom I nlish the purpose of Title f VI.” The letter went on to re- I quest at least one staff mem- I ber in each school in the dis- I trict be assigned on desegre- I gated basis. Dr. Downum said he had a I lot of faith in the superin- I ten-lent and would oppose I calling in the teachers to I see what has been said to I them. He said he did not I feel Supt. Mayo would mis- I represent the situation to the I board members. I Supt. Mayo said while the I teachers are hired for an I administrative unit and it is il the responsibility of the su- II perintendent to assign them II to the school of his choice. I he would not do this without I the approval of the board of I education. George challenged I the superintendent’s authority I in this respect. Last week an official call- I ed Supt. Mayo saying a team I from Washington will be in I Chowan County August 15 to I visit the schools. Since noth- ,1 ing has been received in I writing, the board did not set II a definite meeting with the I team. Supt. Mayo reported that I all but two rooms in Chowan I High School have been paint-1, ed this summer by Neighbor hood Youth Corps workers. He said they had done a good job and recommended that the NYC program be extend ed to the next school term. This was approved. O. C. Long, Jr., chairman, presided at the meeting.
