Thursday, May l», IVTI All Offices With City Motorized, Rural or Contract Delivery Routes . MAILBOX IMPROVEMENT WEEK > The Portal Service designates a week during May each year when customers on rural, city motorized, and contract delivery routes are encouraged to examine and improve, where necessary, die appearance of their mailboxes. The week *. of May 23-28 has been selected this year. The purpose of Mailbox Improvement Week is to call attention to the need for providing mail receptacles which are designed to protect the mail from the weather and are neat in appearance, conveniently located, and safe to use. Neat, attractive mailboxes will make a significant contribution to the appearance of the countryside and the streets in suburban areas. ■j.

Those re-elected were: Donald H. Ahern, of Charlotte; Frederick L. Block, of Wilmington; James G. Lindley, of Raleigh; CharlesF. Merrill, of Raleigh; William A. Raney, of Wilmington, and John B. Wilson, of Boone. The remaining 12 directors were previously elected to terms which expire in 1978 and 1979. THE CHOWAN HERALD In his remarks, Lindley, president of both Banc shares and the bank, cited the involvement of people at all levels of the bank as the main reason for Banc shares’ return to profitability. He stated that the $1,757,000 improvement in earnings between 1975 and 1976 was also due to control of expenses, increased checking, savings, and loan business generally, im provement in the spread between the cost bf money and the employment of that money, and the im provement in the quality of loans. Mayor Bill Cox Reports At AAD A Meeting Thursday CAMP COLEMAN The monthly meeting of the Albemarle Area Develop ment Association was held at this Currituck County conservation site Thursday night with highways and organization the prime topics of discussion. Mayor Bill Cox of Hert ford, chairman of the Albemarle Association of Counties, Towns, and acting chairman of the Albemarle Highway Committee, reported that the AADA committee had been revitalized and later this month the 10-county group would meet to elect officers and discuss priorities. “We have an opportunity to get roads improved,” Mayor Cox said, reporting on a meeting of the com mittee earlier in the week. “It is hopeful that this committee can generate sufficient enthusiasm to get something done.” R.L. Stevenson, also of Hertford, AADA president, said he feels now is the time to act with regards to high ways. Dr. Vance Hamilton of Raleigh, community development specialist with N.C. State University, presented a program on the “Eight Roads to Success” and related it to the AADA program. He said the group must: know where it is going, know the contribution individuals can make, involve people who are interested, seek out and utilize resources, group people together for partners in development, inform people, make sure meetings add to the purpose, and give recognition to those who deserve it. Dr. Hamilton said he felt it is time to take a look at the association and ways to improve it. Stevenson agreed and said he will appoint a committee in the near future to do just that. The 10-county Highway Committee includes two past highway com missioners: J. Gilliam Wood of Edenton and Joe Nowell of Perquimans County. More than S4O billion has been paid to World War I veterans for disability and death compensation and pension payments by the Veterans Administration. Pinto Sports Lightweight Styling Dg’i ; y ■ ' Ford Division’s 1977 Pinto combines a weight-saving “soft” front end and a slop ing hood to give the car a sporty new look. The resilient “soft” front end pieces (painted black) include front fender extensions, which enclose the headlamps and twin parking lights, and the sight shield, which serves as a stone deflector. Made from a rubber-like elastomeric polymer, the lightweight plastic pieces resist dam age from collision, rust and corrosion, and have excellent aging characteristics. A rigid, plastic horizontal bar grille and bumpers utilizing a new high-strength alloy aluminum further reduce the weight of the Pinto. Hunt Proclaims Armed Forces Week Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr., has declared May 16-22 Armed Forces Week in North Carolina. In proclaiming Armed Forces Week the governor commended the “thousands of North Carolinians serving in America’s Armed Forces worldwide as well as our National Guard and Reserve Units in North Carolina.” “For over 200 years,” the proclamation read, “men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces have responded when peace and progress were threatened; CHOWAN AUTO SALVAGE, lie.
