Funds raised locally by the Mother’s March totaled $482.36. Mother’s March Netted $482.36 Mrs. Reva Evans, chairman of the Mother’s March of the Edenton Jaycettes presented a check for $482.36 to the March of Dimes Receiving the check was Chowan County March of Dimes board member, Woody R. Copeland. The money raised through the 1976 Mother’s March conducted by the Jaycettes in January will be applied to the purchase of a specific piece of equipment for Chowan Hospital intensive care nursery. The equipment, a radiant infant warmer, attaches to an isolette providing a constant degree of body heat for the newborh. The first 24 hours of life are the most critical for the newborn. A sudden change in body temperature can be one of the major causes of death. Many infant lives are saved daily with the aid of the radiant infant warmer which replaces the light bulb method of heating the isolette. The March of Dimes is dedicated to the treatment and prevention of birth defects through research and public health education.

Leave Your Porch Light On Washington Report By Congressman Walter B. Jones Last week saw the House consider several important bills. Early in the week the House considered amending the Election Reform Act which had been previously declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. Certainly most everyone is extremely anxious to have clean elections with all financing for candidates being made public, but I do not believe the bill before us is the most desirable approach. First, I do not approve of taking tax dollars for financing the campaigns of potential Presidential candidates. I am afraid that many people do not realize that these millions of dollars come from the United States Treasury, and are not voluntary contributions on the part of the taxpayer. At this date, six potential candidates, five of whom under no circumstances could ever have been considered serious contenders, have withdrawn from the Presidential race and yet, each of them has received several hundred thousand dollars. So, with this strong reservation, I was the only member of the North Carolina delegation to vote no on final passage of the bill. Quite often an important amendment to legislation is overlooked in the press, but much to my statisfaction the House adopted an amendment to the Environmental Protection Agency authorization which will require them to submit to Congress their plans for research and implementation, and if in its wisdom the Congress should reject a proposal, then EPA cannot proceed in this particular area. The opponents to this amendment contended that Congress had far too much to do, than to consider the bureaucratic regulations designed by EPA, to which my answer was that every small businessman in the United States as well as many farmers have to be familiar with their regulations, and therefore, I could see no reason why the Congress should not be equally familiar as well as have the ability to pass final judgement. As a matter of fact, I think the Congress should exercise far more oversight over the various Departments than has been the practice in the past. Os interest to the families of firemen and policemen in the District, the House passed legislation which provides a $50,000 lump sum benefit to the survivors of those who die as a result of personal injury sustained in the line of duty. I think it is entirely proper that this government recognize our lives and property. Once again the Congress was called upon to consider one of President Ford’s many vetoes. This time it was the Child Day Care Standards which would have offered some financial relief to the States to monitor and improve standards. In this. case the House overrode the veto by a rather comfortable margin, but the Senate failed to override, therefore, the veto was sustained. With no attempt to be critical of the President, it does seem that having been a Member of the House for twenty-five years that he would from time to time attempt to compromise with the House leadership rathef than vetoing legislation in the most sensitive area of the economic needs of the people. Methodist Topics “And Heaven Too” is the topic chosen by Rev. E. L. Earnhardt for the 11 A. M. worship service Sunday at Edenton United Methodist Church. His text is Isaiah 1: 19 and John 10: 9. For the 7:30 P. M. service his topic is “God Save The Church” .from Eph. 5:25-27. THE CHOWAN HERALD Around Chowan County Farms By R. M. Thompson | County Ext. Chairman [ It is most important that we save as many tobacco plants as possible. With the Shortage of tobacco plants that we have state-wide and the possibility of replanting due to dry weather, a good preventive disease and insect program on the plant beds is most important.. Blue Mold with the weather I conditions we are having is a very strong possibility, along with Anthracnose and | Dampening Off. We would I suggest that you start I spraying with a fungicide I such as Ferbam, Zineb or I Maneb. Insects also become a | problem with cod weather. , If you see any signs in your COMBINATION SPRAY FOR DISEASE AND INSECT CONTROL Amount to Use In Water Materials (Pesticide) to Uae For 1 Gallon For 10 Gallons' Captan 507.

Rsady-mixed commercial packages of these pesticides can be purchased under various brand names, or the separate materials can be purchased and combined as listed above. In either case, read the labels on containers to determine contents and.directions for use. The use of trade names in this publication does not imply endorsement by North Carolina State University of the products named or criticism of similar ones not mentioned. APPLE --Apply first spray (using the combination spray) as buds open and repeat at 10-day intervals euntil blossoms start to open. When the flower petals are off, make another application and continue at 14-day intervals until one month before harvest. If cedar-apple rust is a problem, include ferbam, 76 per cent wettable powder at 2 tablespoons per gallon, in sprays before and just after bloom. DO NOT spray while the trees are in bloom, except with streptomycin. Sprays with streptomycin at 100 parts per gallon (1 tablespoon per gallon) at 5-day intervals during bloom will aid in the control of fire blight. PEAR -Follow the apple spray schedule. PEACH AND PLUM - Apply one early dormant spray of ferbam 76 per cent wettable powder at 2 tablespoons per gallon (or 4 ounces per 10 gallons) for control of leaf curl disease. From the end of bloom until 3 weeks of peach or 1 week of plum harvest, spray at 2- week intervals or each time apples are to be sprayed. Continue with captan 50 per cent wettable powder at 4 ounces per 10 gallons 1 week before harvest and during harvest if necessary for rot control. To control peach tree borers, spray tree M.

SHONC 4H-4SIS plant beds of aphids, flea beetle or grasshoppers, we would suggest that you apply malathion. Be sure and follow the label in applying and mixing these chemicals. We have had quite a few questions on home orchards. The following spray program is recommended by the Plant Pathology Department at N. C. State University: , Home growers who plant a few fruit trees, raspberries, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, etc., would like to produce fruits as fine as those pictured in the catalog. Such is rarely accomplished. In fact, to produce disease- and insect-free fruit of highest trunks and main branches with endosulfan (Thiodan) 50 per cent wettable powder using 2Vi tablespoons per gallon of water (5 ounces per 10 gallons) in the first week of September. CHERRY (SOUR AND SWEET) -Spray just after bloom, 2 weeks later, and just after harvest. RASPBERRY AND DEWBERRY-Spray as buds break and at 2-week intervals until bloom. After harvest, continue to spray at 2-week intervals until late August. STRAWBERRY—Sprayat 2-week intervals from when new growth has started until berries start to forms continue with captan alone at 3 tablespoons per gallon at 2-week intervals until harvest is underway. After harvest, continue to spray strawberries when apples or peaches are sprayed. Do not use methoxyclor or malathion within 3 days of harvest. GRAPE -•(BUNCH ) Spray at 2-week intervals from the time new growth is 3 to 4 inches long until 3 weeks before harvest. GRAPE (MUSCADINE)- Usually not necessary to spray; but sprays as on bunch grapes will reduce disease and insect injury. BLUEBERRY -Spray at 2-week intervals from end of bloom until 2 weeks before harvest; after harvest continue spraying every 2 weeks until late August. For bud mite control, include endosulfan (Thiodan) 50 per cent wettable powder at the rate of IV£ tablespoons per gallon of water (5 ounces per 10 gallons). Spray 2 and 6 weeks after harvest. Scale insects frequently are serious pests on apple, pear, peach, plum and cherry trees, on grape vines and on other plants in the yard. A dormant oil spray is the .most effective control practice. FOLLOW LABEL DIRECTIONS. If mites become a problem, use Kelthane according to the manufacturer’s directions. Give sprays a chance- quality, one would have to rfollow the same exacting spray schedule required by commercial growers in producing fruit for market. However, satisfactory re sults in home plantings can be obtained with a less complicated spray program than is required in commercial orchards. Repeated applications of some “all-purpose” spray mixtures will give A fair degree of control of most diseases and insects that attack fruit crops in home plantings. One effective and safe “all-purpose” mixture may be prepared as outlined below. These chemicals will not leave harmful residues, if used according to the label on the package. Carry out the schedules as outlined. Missing applications or poor coverage will reduce the control of the pests. Read the labels for dosage rates. Follow suggestions and intervals between last application and harvest to avoid residues at harvest. Boost the effect' of spraying by using the following sanitary practices: 1. Rake up and burn or bury rotten fruits and dead leaves from under trees. 2. Cut off and burn dead and injured twigs and branches. E.I.C.

Thursday, May 13, lfrt This Is The Law By Robert E. Lee Age For Marriage Joe Hoots, 20, marries Sally. Jenkins one month prior to her 16th birthday. • They live together as husband and wife for two months, and then separate. Sally is now living with her parents. May Sally have her marriage annulled? "No. If Sally hadn’t lived with Joe after reaching her 16th birthday, she could have annulled her marriage. However, by living together as husband and wife after reaching the age of 16, Sally has ratified and made valid and binding what was up to that time a voidable marriage. The age of consent to marriage in North Carolina, for both males and females is 16, Marriages below the age of consent may be annulled or voided by court decree, before, on, or after the age of consent has been reached. Such marriages may be ratified by cohabitation, or other conduct in recognition of the marriage, after reaching the age of consent. According to North Carolina law it is a criminal offense for a person to marry a female under the age of sixteen years, but this law has no effect upon the validity of the marriage itself. A person 18 or older may obtain a marriage license from the register of deeds without the consent of his or her parents. * A person over 16 years of age and under 18 years of age may obtain a special marriage license with the written consent of one of his parents or guardian with whom he resides. When an unmarried female between the ages of 12 and 18 is pregnant or has given birth to a child, a special license to marry may be issued if a number of conditions are met. kuSIuFAT!
