F und raising campaign for Newbold-White house begins By KATHY M. NEWBERN After some time out of the spotlight, Perquimans County's Newbold-White House is back in the news. R.L.

Stevenson ex plained that two matching grants of $12,500 each are available for the project from the North Carolina legislature is the goal of local money can be met. The campaign will run through Nov. 1. The chairman explained that the $50,000 total, if reached, would put the fall of 1979 as the expected com pletion date for total restoration of the Newbold-White House, the oldest home in the state. Two other structures to be completed at the site, the caretaker's cottage and a visitor's center, would be finished at a later date. Over 700 letters are going in the mail this week to people in the com m unity and out-of-state that have in the past been supporters of the ongoing project. Included in the mail-out is a fact sheet drawn up by Ray Winslow, ar chivist with the organization. It points out several historical items of interest associated with the house. The Perquimans County Restora tion Association was incorporated in 1971 and it purchased the Newbold- White House in February, 1973. While several delays have put the restoration behind schedule, Stevenson said he has a positive at titude that this fund raising, if suc cessful, will result in the comple tion of the project. He added that memorial gifts are welcome and a Memorial Book is being kept and updated for perma nent display at the house. Anyone interested in making a contribution or desiring more in formation may contact Stevenson at P.O. Box 318, Hertford or by phoning 426-5214.
