Portrait Os Queen Anne Is Presented To Chowan County Painting Is Gift to Coun ty By Mr. and Mrs. John Fletcher A portrait of Queen Anne, painted by Miss Anne Fletcher, sister of John Fletcher, was this week presented to Chowan County by Mr. and Mrs. Flet cher, and has been hung in the as sembly room of the Court House. The portrait is a copy qf a painting no<w hanging m the National Gallery in London. Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher have previ ously presented to the county a por trait of the Duke of Albemarle, also painted .by Miss Anne Fletcher. This latter painting is a copy of a portrait painted by Sir Peter Lely and is now l hanging in the Capitol Building at Williamsburg, Va. Other portraits of interest to Eden tonians now hanging in the Court House assembly room are Joseph Hewes and Hugh Williamson, painted by Mrs. James H. Webb of Fayette ville and presented to the county. Mrs. Webb was formerly Miss Anne I Bond of Edenton. Miss Fletcher’s painting of Queen Anfie is a comttffilfdS6*p«S£~to tEe Duke of Albemarle portrait and both ; paintings now occupy appropriate places on the assembly room walls. Queen Anne, the subject of Miss Anne 'Fletcher’s painting, occupied the throne of England during Eden ton’s early settling period. A small creek that empties into the Albemarle Sound near Edenton was named in honor of the queen, and Edenton once bore the name of “The Towne on Queen Anne’s Creek.” Extension Offices Crowded At P. 0. Lack of Storage Space For Workers Causes Fire Hazard Crowded conditions in the two Ex tension offices and the PIMA office and the lack of adequate storage room is quite a problem. A wooden enclosed 1 storage room was constructed in the boiler room f the Post Office in 1936 through permission of the Federal Buildings Commission. For two years or more the post office inspector has contended this storage space a fire hazard. District representatives of the Ex tension Service and the FMA met with the county agent, the FMA sec retary and the County PMA Commit tee Thursday of last week relative to eliminating the fire hazard and request the construction of a fire-proof stor age room in the .poet office basement. As a result, tSie wooden structure has been tom down and removed. The •paper boxes and inflammable ma terials have been removed, but it is still impossible to remove several cab inets and machines placed on one side of the hallway as there is no other adequate place to store them for use. It is hoped that the Federal Build ings Commission will follow through with plana to construct an additional office room in the basement of the post office building to relieve this crowded situation to some extent and provide satisfactory storage space. ' (FIREMEN CALL OUT MONDAY Edenton’s Fire Department was called out (Monday night about 9 o’clock to the. Ratton apartment house on Oakum Street. No damage was done, the firemen preventing a blaze as tipe result of a faulty electric wire. Edenton’s H*t»y Club will meet this (Thursday) afternoon at 1 oWodk in the Parish House. President W.

Leaf Growers Urged To Cast Heavy Vote Tobacco Quota Referen dum Will Be Held Saturday State College officials and other agricultural leaders throughout the State have joined in urging that North Carolina farmers cast a heavy vote in t'he flue-cured tobacco quota referen dum on Saturday, July 19. Participating in the referendum will be flue-cured growers in Alaba ma, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. They will decide (1) whether they approve 'marketing quotas for the 1953, 1954 I and 1955 crop years, (2) whether thev I disapprove quotas for the three years but favor quotas for 1953 only, or (3\ whether they disapprove quotas for the three years. A favorable vote by at least two thirds of those voting is required to make marketing quotas effective. Voting will be by secret ballot at places designated by FMA committees. In the last similar referendum, held in July, 1949, some 97.7 per cent of the 230,719 growers voting favored quotas for the 1950, 1952 and 1952 crops.
