4/ter seven years of serving Chowan County, we regret to utform you that effective
December 3, 1982, Swindell-Bass Funeral Home, Inc. sold their building and pro
perty on N. C. 32 North of Edenton and ceased local operations.
We at Swindell-Bass want to express our appreciation for the support and friend
ship that we have enjoyed during these years. These have been heart-warming to us
and will be something we will never forget.
All previous records and confidential information that we have maintained since
1968 have been moved to Swindell Funeral Home, 509 Dobbs Street, Hertford. Should
the need arise to inquire on any of these matters you may call 426-7311 or stop by
Swindell Funeral Home in Hertford.
Those of you who have deposited monies with us on pre-arranged funerals will be
contacted by letter very soon, if you have not already been so contacted, as to the
disposition of these funds.
Larry Swindell will be immediately joining his father, Marion Swindell, in the opera
tion of Swindell Funeral Home in Hertford. David Bass will be employed on a part
time basis by Swindell Funeral Home in Hertford.
All accounts still owed to our firm are payable in Hertford. For those of you whom
we have more recently served, if there is any further help that you may require; you

club have recognized his need
and supplied the needed
monies to assist his parents in
meeting the needs of his
problem.
Jeffrey, it seems, has a type
of disease called
Hallervorden-Spatz and has
been in need of a special type
of wheelchair. Jeffrey’s
- ‘MnaSMBHM
THE CflftWAW
parents have written the
following in an effort to
discribe Jeffrey’s disease;
“To answer the question of
what kind of disease Jeffrey
has, Dr. Greenwood sug
gested Hallervorden-Spatz
but no specific diagnosis has
hwm made.”
“In Dr. Greenwood’s sum
mary, Jeffrey is a child with
an apprently severe
predominantly white matter
disease which appears to be a
progressive neuro
degenerative process.”
The special wheelchair Jef
frey needed cost $1,119. The
insurance company, Blue
Cross and Blue Shield, paid
$88330 toward the purchase of
the chair. Leaving $255.80 to
be paid by the Copelands.
Two local service clubs, toe
Chowan-Edenton Optimist
Club and the Advance Ruritan
Club, seeing the need,
donated $250 toward the pur
chase of the chair. The
chowan-Edenton Optimist
Club donating SIOO and the
Advance Ruritan Club
donating $l5O.
Jeffrey’s parents are
grateful for the contributions
of both organizations for their
assistance in making Jef
frey’s life a little more
comfortable.

able to conceal one's ability."

Improve Your Umber Stand
by Catting Firewood
We all know that land
ownership represents a
substantial investment at to
day’s prices. We are also
right to expect such an invest
ment to return a resonable in
come or, interest rate. Yet,
far too few landowners take
the necessary steps to
manage their woodlands in a
way to generate the most in
come from forest products,
according to Extension
Forest Resources at North
Carolina State University.
Many wooded acres grow
as little as $5 worth of mixed
low value hardwoods per
year. With management,
those same acres could an
nually produce SSO worth of
additional sawtimber or
veneer and store it on the
stump. In this way, managed
woodlands represent a pretty
dependable source of sup
plemental income to help
landowners through lean
years.
New Materials
For Needy Church
Colonial Baptist Church has
received some essential
materials from a church in
California. Rev. Audie
Yancey flew to California last
week and returned with hym
nals, daily devotional books
and a record board for the
newly established church.
With these, he also brought
the well-wishes of his former
church and a promise of sup
porting prayers.
The church had its first
youth meeting Monday,
December 6 and have planned
an outing to Elizabeth City for
Monday. The group, named
the “Young Fundamen
talists,” will meet at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Chap
man, Route 2, in Cape Colony
at 6 P.M. and travel from
there as a group. All youth are
welcome to join them for a
night of spiritual uplifting and
good dean fun.
Since the church meets on
Thursday evenings for prayer
and Bible study, they are free
Wednesdays. Therefore,
Wednesday they will travel to
Victory Baptist Church,
Elizabeth City to enjoy the
Christmas program with Rev.
Reggie Parker and his
church. Again, all are invited
to participate in every func
tion of this friendly, Bible
believing church.
The upcoming Sunday
School session will include
discussion on the two basic
Bibles of the day, the
“translation” and the “inter
pretation.” Sunday during the
6 P.M. worship service, Mr.
Yancey will discuss the
methods for applying scrip
ture to our daily lives for vic
tory. Come and receive a
blessing! We are meeting at
the Jaycees Lodge Building.
(Phone 482-8831).

A typical timber stand
starts with thousands of small
trees per acre competing for
water, sunlight, and
nutrients. As a result of this
competition, fewer than 100
crop trees can survive to be
sold as high quality
sawtimber at perhaps age 40.
Crop trees would be those 50
to 100 trees per acre which are
well distributed, of desirable
species, vigorous, straight
and defect-free.
Removing the extra, less
desirable weed trees by thin
ning, firewood cutting, or
other timber stand improve
ment practices benefits the
landowner in two ways. First,
the product removed has a
market value (perhaps $2 per
cord as pulpwood to $lO or
more as firewood or fence
posts). Secondly, the remain
ing stand of crop trees can
mature sooner, responding to
the improved growing
conditions.
These management prac
tices are about as close as a
landowner can get to receiv
ing something for nothing.
Thinnings are frequently
marked by identifying those
trees to be removed, a proven
and effective practice.
However, many landowners
might be better helped by
marking crop trees. Then the
poorer neighboring stems
could be removed as needed.
Many wooded acres are
capable of producing a con
tinued supply of half a cord
per year of firewood while
still insuring the growth of
crop trees. If a cord of wood,
burned efficiently has a fuel
value of $l5O, the managed
acre is certainly earning its
keep. As the stand continues
to mature, fewer trees are
available for removal.
However, the half-cord which
required a dozen 6-inch
diameter trees is supplied by
just one or two 13-inch trees,
landowners should see a
forester before selecting crop
trees.
Burning the wrong trees
could cost more than oil, but
some stands simply do not
have enough crop trees to
