Mrs. McPartland, born near Windsor Castle in England, began playing at the age of three and attended the Guildhall School of Music at 16. She played for troops during World War II and formed her own trio in 1949 when she came to the U. S. She has appeared on numerous television shows, given concerts throughout the country, including the University of North Carolina, and played at the White House celebration in honor of Duke Ellington’s 17 birthday. She now performs in clubs and schools, as well as before prison audiences. She records on her own record label, Halcyon. Concerning her work with students , Mrs. McPartland says, “Young people are becoming more and more receptive to jazz, and are producing creative ideas of their own”. She often serves on judging panels at College Jazz Festivals with Stan Kenton and other prominent musicians. She is optimistic about the future: “Jazz as we know it is changing, but musicians all feel that there is new life, new growth, in music now ... To me, it is more vital, more swinging, more inventive, and more technically demanding. Music is such a tremendous force for good, and I’m happy to be so involved in it.” Williansbtrg Is Popriar Attractioi In the 1920’s Williams burg, Va., was a run-down provincial American town. Today, Colonial Williamsburg is one of the country’s most popular vacation spots, visited by over a million tourists annually. They come to see the past, beautifully and accurately reconstructed for present and future generations. The story of Williams burg’s transforma tion is the story of one of the most ambitious projects of historical archeology and restoration ever undertaken. Nova shows how it all happened on “The Williamsburg File,” Sunday at 8 P.M. on Channel 2. This little town, where George Washington and Thomas Jefferson reached their political maturity, was reconstructed on clues provided by buried bottles, mosaic scraps and an abondoned well. Chief archeologist Ivor Noel Hume shows how such painstaking accuracy was achieved. “The Williamsburg file” is a BBC-WGBH co production , with the advice and cooperation of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. “The Williamsburg File” is made possible by a special Bicentennial grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Goodwin Agri. Ext. Agent The area soybean meeting held in Elizabeth City was very poorly attended due to the beautiful warm weather. I will try to give you some of the highlights of the meeting. The new soybean specialist, Dr. E. J. Dunphy from Illinois, discussed certification and varieties. There are now two certification classifications: Certified No. 1 has germination 80 per cent or better and Certified No. 2 has 70 per cent or better germination. VARIETIES : Varieties were discussed in three groups: Early, Medium and Late. In the Early group most attention was foscused on Essex and' Forrest varieties. The Essex variety had the highest yield of any variety (including Early, Medium and Late varieties) in four years of testing - 47.5 bushels per acre and this variety is resistant to both Cyst and Root Knot Nematodes. Thus the variety is well suited to sandy fields where Nematodes are a problem. Both the Essex and Forrest varieties are rated good for both shatter resistant and standing. In the medium maturity varieties had about the same yield with FFR666 having a fraction higher yield (43.9 bushels per acre) Pickett 71 has resistance to Cyst Nematodes and Tracy is a new variety in this group. In the late maturity group Ranson and Bragg had the highest yields, 44.9 bushels per acre and 43.2 bushels per acre. The Bragg variety is resistant to Root Knot Nematodes. DATE OF PLANT - ING: Dunphy said our farmers shoud aim to plant May 15-20. Later plantings show reduced yields. Seed should be placed 6-8 seed per foot. This is about 35-40 lbs. per acre, according to size of seed. SOIL AND SOIL FERTILITY: Paul Lilley, Area Soils Specialist located at Tidewater Research Station talked about soils and fertilization. Soybeans respond to Potassium and Phosphate fertilization. Soybeans require more Potassium than does corn. If Potash and Phosphate are medium or high according 1 to soil test, yields will not be increased by applying these materials. Some of you may have high organic soils (10 per cent higher). These soils should not be limed to bring the Ph above 4.8 - 5.2. This seems awfully low to me, but high organic soils are different. Some of the black new grounds fields in our county fall in the high organic category. m Data was presented to show that incorporating lime eight inches deep gives better results that nearly cutting it on the surface. If Manganese is short apply 8-10 actual per acre. Trace mineral elements added to fertilizer will not usually correct manganese deficiency. Copper deficiencies beginning to show up. Copper deficiency symptoms are a contrast to manganese deficiency. Copper starved soybeans have yellow leaves while top new growth remains green. This discussion will be continued in later news articles. Ce>trolized Lrrcli Menus Centralized menus in cafeterias of Edenton- i Chowan Schools for the next week include: Friday—Student holiday.

Strasburg. Virginia Scriptures selected by The American Bible Society SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON THE NEED FOR REPENTANCE International Sunday School Lesson for March 14, 1976. Scripture: Matthew 21:28-32, 42-46 By Mrs. Jesse Waller The truth of this lesson should drive everyone, in hu mility, upon our knees to repentance. We may call ourselves Christian, but we are all sinners, saved, by the sacrifice of Jesus, and God’s love. I believe it’s good for us to ask for giveness for sins of which we are not aware. It takes some one very close, and someone who loves us very much, to be able to remind us of our faults, and yes, sins. During the Christmas holidays, our family was together for the first time in sixyears. One sen remindedmeof some thoughtless things I had said, which prompted me to ask for giveness. I was unaware of the hurt I had caused. So I think when we pray, we should repent of those sins of which we are unaware, as well as those of which we we so conscious. Someone wrote a book a while back: “Whatever Happened To Sin”? So often, in our sophisticated attitude, we let the •psychiatrist take the sting of our sins away, like they were just a bad dream to be forgotten. So often when weoffend, someone else is hurt in the process, so repentance, and divine forgiveness are so necessary to our wholeness. It is sad, but true, that the altars in our churches are seldom used as mourners benches anymore. They are used for prayer, and communion, which gives opportunity for re pentance. Jesus placed so much importance upon repentance that He gave a parable to help His hearers understand. The details of the story ere simple. A father asked one of his sons to work in his vineyard, but his son refused. Later the son changed his mind (repented) and went to work. Upon asking the second son to work, he said he would but didn’t. Then Jesus asked, which son did the will of his father? In asking this question, Jesus struck the central issue. Which one obeyed his father? The major difference in the two sens is between saying and doing. Jesus then put the hearers into two camps. Hie first son represented tax col lectors and harlots; the second represented chief priests and elders. The tax collectors and harlots never said they would do God’s will, but when John the Baptist preached, they be lieved and repented. Now the chief priests and elders made professions verbally, but refused to believe, and did not repent of their sins. Failure to repent is not a neutral stand, but is rather re bellion end stubbomess against God’s will. John preached: “Bear fruits that befit repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘we have Abraham as our father’ ” (Luke 3:8) Closing thought: Faith and mpentance not only takes place in a church service, but at home or office, or construction site, or wherever we spend our hours.
