Bee! prices high,
but farmers' loss
It is no secert that the
price of beef is on the rise,
a fact that any super
market shopper will
coofrim.
"What that shopper may
not realize, however, is the
fact that from 1975 through
1977, the man who raised
that beef was doing so at a
loss of around $5 to HO per
hundred pounds," ac
cording to Donald Madre,
president of the Per
quimans County Farm
Bureau.
Madre pointed out that
while consumers were en
joying a plentiful supply of
beef at very economical
prices, cattle producers
were caught in a severe
economic squeese, which
caused many to reduce or
sell off their entire herds.
The local Farm Bureau
Leader explained that in
order to cut their losses
and attempt to get back on
solid financial ground, pro
ducers began in 1975 to cut
back the size of their
herds. This has now
reduced beef supplies,
which, according to the
basic economic law of sup
ply and demand, has
resulted in somewhat
higher prices to the cat
tleman and higher beef
prices to the consumer.
Madre said this "cattle
cycle" will continue as pro
ducers now add to their

Since opening at Harris
Shopping Center Nov. 15,
B.J.'s Unisex has enjoyed
success.
The hair styling center
derives its name from
owner-operator Barry
Jones who was formerly
employedat Diane's Hair
Styling. ^
Working with Jones is
Marcia Nixon Evans,
another hair stylist.
The story of how the two
came together in the
business venture is rather
unique. Both Jones and
Ms. Evans were students
at College of the Albemarle
together. They both
graduated from high
school together and during
their studies at COA, often
rode to school together.
They said they always
though it might be nice
to work in the same shop
and with Jones' ownership
of B.J.'s, that became a
reality.
Ms. Evans came to
B.J.'s following two years
of work with Betty's Beau
ty Salon in Edenton. Plans
are to add another
operator, Ira Lou Hare,
5?ho will begin in August.
She too has completed
study at COA. ]
Other plans for expan
sion include the addition of
another unit making B.J.'s
a three-unit shop.
B.J.'s uses unisex in its
name meaning hair styles
that can be worn by both
men and women. Jones
said the shop specializes in
haircuts with styling being
the current trend. They
also have ear piercing of
fered. Jones said his
customers are both men
and women usually equal
ing out.
With the plans for expan
sion and the list of offer
ings from nail and skin
care to hair specialities, it
is understandable how
Jones could comment,
"Business has been real
good."
