Centennial Smack
Dab In Middle
We're smack in the middle of
our Tricentennial celebration
and our fondest hope this week is
that everyone is participating
and that everyone is enjoying the
various events.
And don't forget what's
coming up, including that

parade. There will be another
story elsewhere in today's paper
on that.
Another reminder: history
books, hats, buttons are all still
on sale in many places of
business in the county or at the
Chamber of Commerce office.
Chamber President Joe Nowell
Jr. and Chamber Manager
Frank Roberts were on the
Mildred Alexander Show on
channel 3 last Friday and made a
pitch for the celebration. It was
several thousand dollars worth
of advertising for the county that
was invaluable. Even while the
program was going on, a call
came in to WTAR-TV from
someone who wanted to know
more about the county and
wanted to visit during the
celebration.
We hope that interest will be
multiplied thousand-fold. Many
letters of invitation were sent out
with the help of the BPW Club.
We can't say much about the
events that took place Sunday
through Wednesday, as this was
written on Saturday, but we can
urge you to see the window
displays, take the tours and visit
the Penny Candy Store during
the next couple of days and be
downtown all day this Saturday
for the many activities.

Bill "Shorty" Stallings is planning to celebrate
Perquimans County's 300th Birthday by parachuting into
the Perquimans River on Saturday, Oct, 17. Mr. Stallings
is a resident of Hertford and has made 350 parachute
jumps in the past 18 years. He holds both a Senior
Parachute Riggers License and a Class D Expert jum
ping license. Mr. Stallings started his sky diving career
as an Army Paratrooper, where he made 48 jumps, and
he has continued to jump since that time.
There are two scheduled jumps, the first of which will
take place at 11 a.m. and the second at noon. The
scheduled target area will be that area of the
Perquimans River between the two bridges. Those
wishing to view the jump from their boats are requested
to anchor them near the edges of the river, and to avoid
the open water near the middle of the river at the drop
times. That section of U. S. 17, locally known as the
"Causeway", will be closed to traffic between the hours
A note of thanks to WOBR in
Wanchese, WGAI and WCNC in
Elizabeth City and WCDJ in
Edenton for helping us promote
the Tricentennial. Thanks also to
the Daily Advance and the
Virginian- Pilot and of course, to
the Perquimans Weekly - all of
whom provided invaluable
publicity to us.
VOTING AT 18
President Nixon has signed
Into law a historic measure
lowering the voting age from
21 to 18. He then called for a
court challenge to decide if
the measure was constitutional.
The measure was a rider on 'a bill
that extends the Voting Rights
Act of 1965 for five more years.
