Local News Letters to the Editor-? The Perquimans Weekly v! Dear Editor, It is a shame that more people in Perquimans County didn't know about, or were not able to ? attend a course that ended today ? at the New bold- White Site. There . was one person from a neighbor ing county who never missed a . session, neither did I nor most of the others. The course was "Introduction 'to Archaeology" taught by David McCall. Hearing lectures and Viewing artifacts and films, helped all of us to understand life styles of people of many different cultures. To me, it was especially interesting to get an idea of the lifestyle of the people who first lived at this interesting place. 1 first became aware of the im portance of the Newbold-White House when it was being restored and my daughter, Anne E. Young became the first Chairman of Op erations. The Newbold-White House is a valuable asset to Per quimans County. Since it is the oldest house in the state, we can truly claim it as a unique asset. I hope more people from the county will be able to attend the bhowtime wins championship ;Last Thursday evening, Show time defeated the "A" Team by a score of 70-69 in overtime.

ELECT Joe Lothian SHERIFF Perquimans County "Paid for by friend* of Jo? Lothian" next course on the same subject. That one will begin on March 11, 1966. Anyone who misses this op portunity will be a real loser. Yours truly, Marie S. Elliott 510 Pennsylvania Avenue Hertford, NC Dear Editor, On behalf of the Quilt Lovers Guild, I would like to thank you and the people of Pasquotank, Perquimans, Chowan, Dare, Gates, and Currituck counties for a most successful Quilt Docu mentation Day on February 22nd. The coverage we received in your paper really reached the multitudes and resulted in a re cord breaking day. I think we can call the whole seven miintiM "Quilt Lovers." This is a very rich area to have so many beautiful quilts and so many people who value them. It was truly a feast for the eye and at times a lump in the throat when we felt the story and histo ries unfold before us. We were overwhelmed at the turn out. As more than 150 people learned, we had to stop taking quilts in the early afternoon because there were more quilts than time to process them. We did take their names, and they will be called to make up day so that their quilts can be documented. I can't begin to tell you how patient and under standing people were. The lines were long and the quilts piled high but not once did we hear "a discouraging word." I think they might have been enjoying the "quilt show" as we were. We also want to thank all of the volunteers who came and worked. They came from our seven coun ties plus Greenville and Tidewa ter (I even had a "customer" or two pitch in) to help and we couldn't have done it without them. It was an exciting day we won't soon forget. Sincerely, Jackie (Mrs. V.M.)
