ASA Convention
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -Andrew
Winslow of Hertford
was among 145 voting
delegates from 25 states
attending the 55th annual
convention of the American
Soybean Association (ASA)
here Aug. 10-13.
A highlight of the
convention was a panel
discussion on the quality of
U.S. soybean exports.
Foreign importers, a
domestic exporter, a USDA s
official and an Iowa soybean
producer were on the panel.
Among their
recommendations were: (1)
to develop soybean varieties
for high oil or protein
content and to make such
content a part of the grading
standard, (2) to devise and
implement methods of
. reducing s damage- to-
soybeans during handling
and transport, (3) to provide
better i means of verifying
quality of beans upon
arrival in foreign ports, (4)
to create incentives for
keeping beans at low
moisture levels, (5) to trade
No. 1 . soybeans in both
domestic and international
trade, and (6) to change the
allowable level of foreign
matter in No. 2 beans from
two per cent to one percent,
especially since Brazilian
'soybeans are exported on
basis of one per cent foreign
matter. .

Local Social
Security Office
To Be Closed
Since a full time Social Security Office opened in
Elizabeth City, only a very few people visit the local
courthouse for Social Security services. Therefore,
the . services given by the Social; Security
Administration at the Perquimans County courthouse
in Hertford, have been terminated. The Social
' Security Office has added more personnel and
telephone lines ta make telephone service readily
available to the people of Perquimans County. Many
people have been calling the Social Security Office
rather than waiting . to see a Social Security
Representative during a monthly visit. , , '
The services of a Social Security Representative
will still be available for the people of Perquimans
County as needed. If Social Agencies, businesses or
other organizations need personal :. services,
arrangements can be made by calling the Social
Security Office. Most individuals can take care of
Social 'Security matters by the telephone and this
services includes filing a claim. .
The telephone number of the Social Security Office
in Elizabeth City is 338-2161. " . ;

Attends
spoke to delegates on ASA's
"Heritage of Leadership,"
theme of the 1975
convention.
Tilson said that qualities
of the men who led the
American Revolution
independence, courage and
foresight are the same
qualities that have made
ASA a leader in the field of
agriculture. ' '
He noted, for example,
that soybean farmers were
the first to contribute their
own funds toward foreign
market development
programs.
"Because their leadership
had foresight," he said,
"soybean farmers were the
first to reap the benefits of
market expansion
overseas." . . , u ' . fr
r Another key -speaker waV
J.E, Randag of , The
Netherlands, president of ,
the International
Association of Seed
Crushers, who spoke on. the
world oilseed supply-and-demand
situation.
Randag v said better
soybean yields are the key
to improving the soybean's
position in an increasingly
competitive world market.
Only by increasing yields
can farmers absorb their
rising production costs and,
at the same time, reduce
soybean prices enough to
compete with palm oil and
other major competitiors, he
said.

Tentative Goals & Objectives
For Land Use Plan Are Adopted
By KATHY NEWBERN
The county is one step
closer in developing a
workable county land use
plan! At a recent meeting of .
the Citizens :v Advisory,
Board, this group came up
with a statement of
objectives, polices and
standards for Perquimans
County, using the citizens'
input from the land use'
questionnaires.
1 A public meeting was held
last night for citizens of the
county to comment on the
guidelines the board had
come up with. The next step,
after the statement is
approved, is to turn it over
to the planning board and
using these goals and
objectives, they will come
up with the actual land use
plan.
The statement says that
"the future growth and
development of Perquimans
County must be planned and
orderly." Usning this basis,
which according to the
questionnaires was the
feeling of the majority of
people in Perquimans
County, the Citizens'

SENATOR ROBERT MORGAN
Morgan's Tour
Includes Visit
In Eliz. City
United States Senator
Robert Morgan will be in
Elizabeth City on Monday,
August 25, to visit with
constituents in an effort to
find out "how the people of
North Carolina feel about
today's problems and
issues."
Morgan will be at the
Pasquotank County
Courthouse from 9:30 to
11:30 a.m. to hold office
hours, and will see as many
persons as possible during
the two hours. He has
scheduled a meeting with
representatives of the news
media from 9 to 9:30 a.m.
The visit is one stop on a
swing through the eastern
section of the State that
Morgan will take during the
final week in August. The
week before that, he will
ake a similar tour through
the Piedmont section.
The Congress is in its
annual recess during
August, but instead, of
taking a vacation, Morgan is
,J.7fl
Advisory Board then came
up with several policies, n
The, policies include
adoption of a county , land
use plan, a set of zoning
ordinances to implement the
plan, a set of building codes,
a , set of mobile home
ordinances, and the strict
enforcement of the policies
metioned above. One factor
in the statement involves
the creation of a Board of
Adjustment, comprised of
members appointed by the
County Commissioners.
This board would review
petitions by individuals or
groups asking for specific
exemptions from zoning
ordinances.
The statement also calls
for "exploring the
possibility of acquiring the
services of a building
inspector."
Concerning industry, the
statement of objectives,
policies and standards
reads, "The county should,
in conjunction with the
towns and the Chamber of
Commerce, actively seek
industry and jobs for the
county. However, it must be

spending the first two weeks
of the month in his office,
catching up on work, and
then taking to the road to see
the people.
The visits to the various
communities will be
informal and persons wishing
to see Morgan may do so on
a first-come, first-served
basis. No previous
appointments are necessary
or are being made, his office
announced.
"Senator Morgan just
wants to keep in touch with
the people he represents," a
Morgan aide said, "and he
feels he can do this by
getting out and talking and
listening to as many of them
as possible."

recognized that the natural
environment and scenic
1 beauty of the county, and
the.life-style of its residents
are of utmost importance
;: and .must be preserved.
, Industry which would
.threaten the natural
environment of the, county
or the way-of-life of its
citizens should be
discouraged from locating
within the county." Five
policies in connection with
this statement define
beneficial industry as those
which utilize agricultural '
and forest products and
suggests that future
industrial growth be
concentrated near existing'
communities. Industry
would be discouraged from
locating along the county's
rivers.
The tentative statement
also calls for the
development of public
recreation facilities on the
Perquimans, Little and
Yeopim Rivers, including
such activities as boating,
sport fishing, swimming,
picniking, camping and
related activities.
The attraction of tourists,
and the tourist dollar, are
also called for in the plan by
historic restoration where
feasible.
The statement also asks
for a county plan for

provisions for police and fire
protection; attraction of

county's tax base to

to provide for this increase
