, Mr. White previously has served
six regular and two special terms in
•the General Assembly, working under

sessions of 1931, 1935, 1937, 1939,
1943 and 1945, and served in special
terms of 1936 and 1938.
Before representing Chowan County
in the General Assembly, Mr. White
served as Judge and Prosecuting at
torney of Recorder’s Court and at
torney for the Town of Edenton.
Mr. White took his academic work
at Wake Forest and later studied at
the University of North Carolina and
began his law practice in Edenton in
1926.
iSdnce his term of office as Repre

number of other candidates, when

tion.
Mr. White donated the athletic
field to Chowan High School, which
bears his name and this year leased
six acres of land adjoining the Cho
wan High School property for a period
of 20 years to be used as a forestry
project in connection with the school
without compensation. This is the
first project of its kind in Eastern
North Carolina.
Mr. 'White’s announcement of his
candidacy results in a contest for the
office, for Mrs. Raymond Carr, first

position, announced her candidacy a
few weeks ago. - -■

Many Letters Mailed
Containing Batches
L Os Seals
i
j W. J. Taylor this week put in the
. mail a large batch of Easter Seals as
. part of the drive in Chowan County
to raise funds to aid crippled children.
I This plan, used effectively in former
! years, was again adopted this year
r and it is hoped every person who re
. ceives a letter will return his con
. tribution immediately.
; Chowan’s quota this year is $350
5 and with a number of crippled chil
, dren in the county dependent upon the
1 aid received through Easter Seals,
the need for funds is emphasized.
r The drive is sponsored by the Edenton
i Lions Club.
Fifty-five per cent of the contri
butions received in Chowan will re
main in the county for local use. This
i money is used for financial or other
t types of assistance to handicapped
1 persons who cannot obtain services
i from any other source. It includes
physical examinations; medical treat
- ments, operations, tonsillectomies,
t etc.; hospitalization and convalescent
; care; X-rays; appliances-purchased,
t rented, or loaned; transportation to
i and from medical care; supplying
i special shoes, glasses, wigs, dental
- care, medicines, etc.; sending handi
capped children to camp or boarding
: school; providing visiting teachers to
i the “homebound” children; providing
i specialized instruction to handicap
- ped children, providing occupational
i or physical therapy to handicapped
r children; providing other miscellane
-1 ous services to handicapped children.
s County Chapters and the State of
i fice work very closely with the local
Health and Welfare Departments, and
3 other agencies, thereby eliminating
s any duplication of service to any in
t dividual.
s Os the 45% sent to the State of
i fice, 8.3% of the total contributions
is transferred to the National Society
to be used in research projects, edu
cating the public regarding needs of
handicapped persons and promoting
legislation pertaining to handicapped
persons’ welfare.

, Number of Non-Resi
; dent Players Reduced
From 12 to 6
At a meeting of directors of the Al
bemarle League held in Hertford Mon- ,
i day night, a right about face .was :
taken regarding the non-resident
player limit and apj>arently most of i
the principal obstacles have been
> hurdled to permit operation of the
league for the coming season.
At the previous meeting held in :
Windsor it was decided to allow '
: clubs to employ as many as 12 non
! resident players, but in Hertford this !
number was reduced to six, when some <
clubs definitely made it clear that il
they .could not operate on 12 man
i basis. However, league teams will
be allowed to secure ball players in i
an adjacent county as local material. •
With the player problem settled, i
the directors agreed upon a 60-game ;
schedule with league play to begin
Saturday night, May 27, and close 1
