Page 4-B Class Os ’49 Holds Reunion While the thoughts of many in June turned from Commencements to vacations, the Class of ’49 of Chowan High School cen tered their attention on meeting as a group to renew acquaintances. Thirty-four people turned out Saturday, June 16 at Boswell’s Restaurant for the 30th reunion of this class. Despite the 30 year time span, no one had trouble tinting his way back to the reunion. In fact, of the 22 members of this graduating class, the majority settled in Edenton or Chowan County. In welcoming the Class of 1949, Audrey Pearce Byrum stated, “It’s exciting to get together with those we’ve known since childhood because we have such a good time. We are just like a family.” Three members of that “family” attending the reunion banquet were former teachers at Chowan | High: Mrs. Louise Wilson Marsh of Roper, Mrs. Ann Perry As bell of Tyner, and Mrs. Edna Wilkins Reaves of Edenton. Another special guest, in addition to the spouses, was a class mascot, Mrs. Julia Faye Harrell Singletary of Raleigh. Presenting the Class History, Mary Forehand Partin noted the Class of '49 was the first one to sponsor Letter To The Editor There has been a new serge in politically in terested youth in Chowan County and to feed this interest the Chowan County Teen Democrats is in the process of reorganization to once again make it the best teen organization in the county.

As Juniors, they not only en tertained the Seniors with the customary banquet but they also sponsored a dance. History also revealed as first graders this was the first class to enter the new Chowan High School building. At that time Chowan High School served grades one-12, with a total faculty in 1949 of 16. Those attending the reunion banquet not only enjoyed renewing acquaintances during the social hour and reviewing the history of their school years but they also enjoyed feasting on delicious hors d’oeuvres followed by a turkey and ham dinner served by the Boswell staff.

Wake Forest College Fund Accepts Gifts Wake Forest University Fund Challenge is still accepting gifts. The National Committee has set a goal of $600,000 in unrestricted giving for the College Fund. Educational costs are increasing at a high rate. Because College Fund money is unrestricted, it is Wake Forest’s most valuable inflation fighter. “Alumni have an even greater incentive to give this year” - reports Mary F. Partin, class agent - “because of a $211,000 challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities which is mat ching all new or increased gifts.” If any Wake Forest Alumni living in the area did not contribute to the College Fund Drive prior to June 30 but wish to do so, contact Mrs. Partin (Mrs. Jim P.), class agent, at 482-2447.

New Practices Handle Waste Problem , By T. Stanton Harrell Soil Conservation Tech. USD A—Soil Conservation Service The production of swine has increased dramatically in Chowan County aver the past couple at years. Local farmers have found that the most economical way to raise hogs is in a confined area or houses. Each opeation varies from sow confinement, to farrowing, to the feeder pig stage. Here, they are put on feed out floors where they are held to market size for slaughter. Some farmers are set up to go from farrow to finish. “A real problem with waste matter and the proper way of disposing of it is created by these high concentration of hogs,” says Albert Moore, local District Conservationist. “For tunately, answers are available which can help operators with a solution to what might be called the ‘manure crisis’,” he com mented. Cooperative efforts by federal and state agencies are providing the answers. North Carolina is probably the leading state in this field. N. C. State University and the Agriculture Ex periment Stations are doing some outstanding work in this program. Sometimes new techniques mean that present methods of manure disposal being used by a livestock producer must be completely changed. Many farmers have seen a complete new procedure put in. Advanced planning is a speciality of Soil and Water Conservation Districts. Through the Soil Con servation Service, a professional conservationist with detailed soils in formation (available without cost) can assist farmers from the beginning to help those with existing facilities figure on their waste production needs. According .Jta Moore, waste management systems, some with several component parts, are highly successful and can be designed to enable producers dispose of animal waste without polluting surrounding land or nearby water. The most commonly used of these components in the county are waste treatment lagoons or holding ponds which are WESTERN GAS SERVICE SAVE slls ON THIS *Whirlpool **T| summer spec,al freezer HE € I ™ GERATORSI mirlpooi 199 Suqwtad LI at $514.95 EET ISSJT* WESTERN GAS SERVICE « 705 N.

Many land owners believe that once their lagoons are built, all waste problems are solved,” Moore continued. “In most cases, this is not true.” Normal lagoon discharges. will not meet present water quality or stream stan dards. A large amount of nitrogen and phosphorus is usually found in this discharge which must be contained and not left to overflow into a nearby ditch or stream. State regulations prohibit any overflow from a lagoon. As the lagoon begins to reach the full mark, a method to pump the effluent from the lagoon to cropland is needed. Here, some type of irrigation system is recommended to take ad vantage of the nutrient distribution over the disposal or field area. It has been noted that each brood sow in a farrow to finish operation will provide enough nitrogen for more than half an acre of corn. Utilizing the valuable nutrients of the manure on the farm with the “no discharge” concept means that the waste is returned to the land as -a resource for crop production. Some important factors that the SCS will be con sidering in helping farmers locate future lagoons in clude: 1- Proximity to nearest neighbor - odor can be a problem. 2 - Availability of cropland on which to spread lagoon effluent. 3 - Depth of water table. 4 - Proximity to streams and other drainage systems. 5 - Capacity of lagoon needed to take care of the waste problem.
