M. Price, secretary to the County Committee, said this week. This year, program funds have been allocated to counties as well as to States, and it will be up to farmers and local AAA committeemen to get all the conservation they can for the money they have available. Under this program the county and community committeemen have the responsibility of contacting each farmer and assist ing him in setting up a soil-building llowarice for his farm,, | Mr. Price said that $25,387 has been " located to assist Chowan County farmers to carry out practices under the 1946 program. About $28,000 will j be expended to assist county farmers under the 1945 program. Mr. Price pointed out that import ant changes have been made in the 1946 program. One change is that no farm allowance will be established this year. Another one is that, to earn payment, practices to be completed under the program must have the prior approval of the county commit tee. Mr. Price also pointed out that more than 300 farmers in the county have not filed the soil-building practice re port for their farm for 1945. These farmers stand to lose approximately SIO,OOO in soil-building payments if they do not file the reports at the county AAA office before February 15, 1946. fiharferfl.

Jenkins early this week said he was glad to advise his friends at this time that he shall be a can didate for re-election. “It is obvious,” said Mr. Jenkins, “that a member of the Legislature can be of greater service during a second term than during the first term. North Carolina has made great progress during recent years, but there are yet many unfinished tasks for the future development of the State.

Victory Clothing | Drive In Edenton i Held This Week House - To - House Can- vass Scheduled For Sunday Afternoon STARTS 2 O’CLOCK Message May Be At tached To Bundle Os C-othing With this week set aside for the Victory Clothing Drive in Edenton, the climax will talc place next Sunday afternoon when a house to house can-j vass will be held, starting at 2 10’clock. For this canvass quite a few have volunteered their services and trucks have been offered to cover every part of town. J. L. Chestnutt, county chairman, is hopeful that the drive will result in as many or even more contributions than were received during the drive last spring which was sponsored by the , Lions Club. He emphasizes the fact I that the need for clothing, bedding and shoes is far greater now in war torn countries, and for that reason urges citizens to go to the trouble to search about their homes for any articles which are not needed and con tribute them during the drive. Three official receiving depots have been designated, the Police Station, Chestnutt’s Cleaners and the Triangle Service Station, where any clothing] may be taken before the final can vass Sunday. All clothing should be securely tied in a bundle with a tag stating how many pieces are included. This is very necessary, for in this drive it will not be necessary to as sort the garments, and it is the desire of Mr. Chestnutt to be able to deter mine how many pieces are co..tribut- 1 ed in the county. Mr. Chestnutt also reminds those j giving clothing that they may send aj message with their contribution. This j message must also be attached to the bundle of clothing.

John D. Findlay, Commis , sioner of Game and Inland Fisheries, l has .declared a plan in operation j whereby the former game wardens . j have been replaced by .98 supervisors ! and protectors smartly uniformed to j represent their specific assignment. ,T ,C. D. Kirkpatrick, former game warden of Mecklenburg County, hasi I been named Chief of Law Enforce | men!. Under his guidance five law ’] enforcement supervisors operate in the J twenty-one districts outlined in the I state according to topography and ■ work required. j These supervisors recently named to I their respective assignments are: E, P. Keen of Kenly, J. Harold King of Smithfield, Robert F. Logan of Chapel Hill, W. L. Armstrong of Asheville, and W. O. Abbitt of Wil liamston. These supervisors travel constantly throughout the districts of fering over-all direction and education to the district game and fish protec tors. Further development points to em ployment of special deputy protectors to supplement the force on individual assignments. Under the new system, Chowan County is included in the twenty-first district, which also takes in the coun ties of Pasquotank, Camden, Curri tuck, Perquimans and Dare. The pro tectors for this particular district are: R. E. West of Moyock, Edgar Perry of Kitty Hawk, D. E. Barnes of Cora peake, B. V. Evans of Grandy, J. W. Jones of South Mills, B. A.

Moore Requests Reports as Soon as Possible Though Chowan County’s Infantile Paralysis is in progress this week, J. A. Moore, chairman, has had no reports up to Wednesday from his group of canvassers to indicate the success of the drive. Capable canvass ers both in Edenton and the rural sec tions have certain districts to solicit and Mr. Moore urges these solicita tions to be completed as soon as pos sible so that he can send his report to state headquarters. Mr. Moore, aside from the personal solicitation, has placed containers about town, where it is convenient for anyone to drop in whatever amount desired. He has also arranged a cam paign in the schools, where in previous drives the response has been very gratifying. The Edenton Naval Air Station is also cooperating in the drive, and in previous years the base’s contribution has been a substantial factor in Chowan going far over the quota assigned. The Taylor Theatre, as in previous years, is also cooperat ing. This year’s quota for Chowan County has been set at $1,420, but funds raised in the county in the 1945 drive amounted to $1,858.22, so that Mr. Moore and his associates are hopeful that this year’s drive Will net id $2,00.0; M An effort will: be made to contact j every person in the county during the J drive but, of course, the possibility is ! that quite a few will be missed, so j that if any person desires to make a | contribution and has not been solicit j ed, he or she is urged to take or send whatever amount is contributed to Mr. Moore or W. H. Gardner, treasurer, at the Bank of Edenton or at The Chowan Herald office and it will be ■ credited to the drive. Bishop Wright At ; St Paul’s Friday ! Reception Scheduled In !
