Of the approximately 3600
registered voters in Per
quimans County, 2083
turned out Tuesday for the

was unofficially declared a
winner in the state, Per
quimans County voters
favored George Wood with a
total of 1145 votes to Hunt's
676. A big upset on the state
level was the declaring of
former Chapel Hill mayor
Howard Lee as winner in the
lieutenant governor's race.
In Perquimans, Lee only
ran second with 348 total
votes while Speaker of the
House Jimmy Green was
favored with 479 Per
quimans votesi
On the Republican ticket,
Democratic candidate
David T. Flaherty received
13 votes in the county with
J.F. Alexander a very close
second with 12 votes. The
favorite in the It. gov. race
was William S. Hiatt with 23
votes while Odell Payne
received 16 votes.
The contest for Secretary
of State was very close in
North Carolina, but Thad

To ease the confusion of the new system, the Perquimans

bus schedule for those students from Hertford who will be in
Seventh and eighth grade at Union. -
All buses taking students from the Hertford side of the
river to Union School will first deposit students at Hertford
Grammar School and then continue on to Union School to
deposit the remaining passengers. At the grammar school,
no student will have to board a different bus. For those
students going to Union School, the bus that picks them up
will be the same bus that deposits them at Union. This
system is being tried for the first few days of school and
may have to be changed as the total number of students per
bu.i is determined. However, at present this system is being
followed.
Two buses, Bus 23 and Bus 27, will make stops in Hertford
to pick up those students going to Perquimans Union School.
No student will have to walk more than one block to catch a
bus to that school. "'
The following schedule for Bus 23: Bus 23 will make one
stop at the intersection of Carolina Ave. and Dobbs St. It
wUl make one stop at the intersection of Dobbs St. and the
west end of Woodland Circle. After unloading students in
trades kindergarten through six at Hertford Grammar

Superintendent Harrell pointed out that school officials
: are asking parents to "be patient with us" until the schedule
