Monds, remains on the board of county commissioners. A fine race was held by newcomer Jean Winslow. Ms. Winslow, showed outstanding support while gathering 498 votes.

(Sawyer Photo) Costs Going Up "A recent survey by the College Entrance Examination Board projected a sharp increase in college costs for the upcoming school year," Gary Parsons, financial aid director at College of the Albemarle said in an in terview recently. He. said the money pinch will be felt by families with children at two-year colleges as well as four year schools. This hits the commuting student especially hard, he noted, with the average cost to these students set at $1,922 for next year. But this is not the case for North Carolina families or Albemarle area students. "A review of average costs of North Carolina community colleges and technical institutes shows that their students will continue to pay between $1,100 and $1,300 a year," Parsons said. "This results in a yearly savings of $622 to $822 for each of these students. He explained that what the student actually pays the college is only a small portion of the total college ; cost mentioned above. The greater portion of the money goes for gasoline, textbooks, rent, food. "A student enrolled in the COA college - transfer program pays only $153 directly to the college and for vocational-technical students, only $123", he said. "The total cost of attending COA, even after figuring in gas money and all the other extras, is much less than the average North Carolina two-year college." "Parents will find that it costs little more to send their children to College of the Albemarle than it did to send them to high school," he added. Parsons then discussed that in addition to the low cost of attending a com munity college like. COA, there is also student financial aid. "During the past year, COA awarded over $174,000 in grants, scholarships, loans, and wages to students to help them pay for college costs,", the COA financial aid director said. "This is the second largest amount of financial aid awarded during the past year by community colleges and technical institutes in the entire state." Parsons said COA was only able to award $19,000 in student aid in 1966. "But since then the amount of available aid to students has increased nearly 10 times in eight years," he said. "We feel that we have done a pretty good job of protecting COA students from the college cost crunch." Sales Sales of Series E and H Savings Bonds in Perquimans County during March were $3,096.00.
