Easter Seal
Society Active
In Year 1957
Greater services to crippled
children - than ever before in its
history marked the strides made
by the Chowa nCounty Easter
Seal Society „in 1957, it is an
nounced by Ernest Ward, Jr.,
president.
Ward said that 18 crippled chil
dren and 1 handicapped adult re
ceived direct services in Edentor
by the Chowan County Easter
Seal Society. With the funds that
remain in Chowan County, the
Society assists crippled children
and adults in every way possible
so they can make their adjust
ment to life witjji their physical
limitations and handicaps.
As the 1958 Easter Seal cam
paign gets underway. Ward point
ed out, “Our job is far from fin
ished, and our goal is far from
achieved. The Chowan Countv
Easter Seal Society looks ahead
in 1958 with the determination to
,help erippled people in increas
in«lv preater numbers with the
funds that will be raised during
thi? year’s appeal.”
Ward said that the Chowan
County Easter Seal Society is one
of 1,655 Easter Seal affiliates of
the National Society for Crippled
Children and Adults, having
chapters in all 48 states, District
of Columbia, and three territor
ies. During 1957, Easter Seal
funds helped finance 1,400 centers
and programs offering direct ser
vices in rehabilitation to 132,392
children and 26,114 adults.

atively small since practically all
such funds were committed prior
to July 1, 1957. Allocations of
these funds at this time has not
delayed secondary road improve
ment work since construction
crews normally work several
months behind the allocation of
funds.
Availabilities for the 1958-59
fiscal year total $16,000,000. SB,-
000,000 is available from Federal
aid Secondary funds granted to
the State on a 50-50 matching ba
sis by the Federal Government,
$6,000j)00 from GepecwL Better
ments, -end ‘hr T1 o i°'<
Betterment Fund for sertmtfnry
roads approved by the 1957 Gen
eral Assembly.
The county-by-county alloca
tions were revealed in a 40-page
document sent to each member of
the State’s 100 County Boards of
Commissioners. This document
included explanations of the al
locations, methods of preparing
county secondary road plans and
procedures for the adoption of
such plans each fiscal year.
The manual also contains a
synopsis of the Legislative Act of
the 1957 General Assembly which
adopted secondary road proced
ures for the Highway Commission
and excerpts from the;; Statutes
governing such highway work.
Enclosed in each manual for
the information of County Com
missioners is a copy of the Sec
ondary Road Policy adppted by
the State Highway Commission,
a breakdown of the allocations
for each county and a summary
of allocation factors for the Sec
ondary Road Plan. g
The $16,000,000 availability for
1958-59 was allocated -| to each
county in two ways. Ooe-half of
the available funds or $8,000,000
was distributed on the basis of
the relative need of each county
for the’ paving of its tyral sec
ondary roads which serve 50 ve
hicles or more per day, A com-

prehensive State-wide survey of
such facilities revealed that a to
tal sum of $123,956,000 \»auld be
required to pave the 9,330 miles
of such secondary roads rated for
paving. $8,000,000 represents 6.45
per cent of the total amount
needed over the State for such
paving. Allocation of this $8,000,-
000 for each county represents
6.54 per cent of the total sum
which would be required to pave
the rated rural secondary roads
of that county. t
The remaining $8,000,000 was
allocated to each county on the
basis of the number of miles of
unpaved rural secondary roads in
1 the State which did not carry 50
vehicles per day and were not
rated for paving. 24,137 miles of
1 these unpaved roads were listed
in the secondary road survey.

mately $331 for each mile of its

Highway Director W. F. Bab

Boards of Commissioners that,
‘ county officials would be given |
! the opportunity of completely re- (
viewing the secondary road plans

1 adoption of the county plan on j
' July 1. County Boards may make

people of each county. The High
way Director pointed out that the
Department of Secondary Roads
and .his office would give every
consideration to the recommenda
tions of the various County j
Boards of Commissioners before,
formally approving each county
plan. Final authority for the
adoption of each secondary road
plan rests with the Highway
Commission.
“We feel,” said Babcock, “that
the new procedure allowing
County Commissioners to express
their feeling on secondary road j
matters will be of tremendous
value in bringing our entire high
way operation closer to the peo
ple and in making it more respon
sive to the needs and will of our
people.”

Panel Feature At
Meeting Os PTA
Continued from Page 1, Section 1 j
presided over the meeting which,
was opened with a devotional by
Chaplain Matthew A. Curry. The
salute to the flag was under the
direction of three Edenton Girl j
Scouts, after which Mrs. John
• Ross presented a brief history of,
the national PTA association as
j well as the Edenton organization.
Next on the program was the
Rev. George B. Holmes who sub
mitted a very interesting church
school report. Mr. Holmes pre- |
sc nted statistics showing that one
out of nine school . children in j
Edenton are not attending any |
church school, which is above j
the national average. He said that;
of 999 questionnaires sent out. it
v/as shown that 322 ale affiliated |
with some church schqpl, 104 are
affiliated.- but. do not attend reg-I
ularly and eight were not affiliat- j
ed with anv church. Sixtv-fivej
of the questionnaires were not re-,
turnc d.
Mr. Conggr then turned the!
meeting over to Mrs. Whitten,;
who was in charge of the panel
discussion.
Among the questions presented,
were: i
What amount of fire insurance |
is carried on the Elementary.
School building and is it above
the ’minimum? The answer to J
thir question was $345,000.
Will you permit school trustee j
| meetings to be open to the pub- J
lie? This answer was in the af- '
firmative and that anyone is wel- j
come to attend.
What js the latest information;
about the fire condition at the!
Elementary School? It was stat-1
j ed that the state fire marshal and
■ a member of the State School i
j Planning Board had recently
I made an • inspection and stated
j that the school does not meet
present standards, but did when
the school was built. The report
also stated that the building is
j not jn such condition as to war
j rant condemnation proceedings.
A number of improvements were
-| recommended such as removing
the first row of seats in the au
ditorium allowing more room to
the doors leading to the outside,
covering the ceiling with fire re
sistant material, replacing wood
en steps with steel or concrete
when repairing is necessary and
that inaccessible areas be protect
ed with a fire detector system,
•stir. Holmes pointed-ti-ut that most
of these recommendations have
been made or are being planned.
He did point out that no oil has
been used on floors since 1936.
How much money is budgeted
for schools in Edenton? It was
stated that the state appropria
tion is and locally
$94,535.46.
Are fire drills being held in the
school, to meet State require
ments? The answet was yes, and
that inspections are required and
made twice monthly.
Why do you not have a quali
fied lunch room supervisor? The
answer was that lunch rooms are
now under capable supervision.
* Hot(- dre -School -trustees elect
ed? The answer: Elected at a
joint meeting of the school trus
■ tees and Town Council.
; How does it happen that most
' members do not have children in
I school? It was stated that all
I members of the board have had
| children in school at one time or
I another. The trite remark was
1 also made that most of the teach
ers have no children in school and
further that the trustees are too
old.
What is the bonded indebted
ness of Chowan County? The an
swer was $425,000.
| Why is so little equipment fur
nished at the Elementary School?
i The reason was because of limit
| ed space and that children pre
j fei room for other sorts of
; games. The school was placed at
the wrong place to begin with.
| Why was Miss Mayo not given
j permission to teach French to
j fifth grade pupils? Piincipal Er
| nest Swain stated he would have
j an answer to this question at the
I next meeting.
How much money does Eden
, ton receive due to enrollment of
! children of military personnel? j
In five years the following j
amounts: $2,550.30, $2,805.02,
, $5,005.00, $13,162.00, $13,005.00, or i
j a total of $36,527.32. This money j
j was used to employ two teachers j
to reduce the teacher load, pur-,
chase two driver education cars 1
and the remainder went into the
j general budget.
What sort of program is plan
! ned for gifted children? The
j State School Board has not yet
I worked out a program,
j A number of other questions
; were asked and all in all the pro
! gram was very enlightening and
lno doubt answered some ques
-1 tions which lately have been
I more or less criticism of the
school trustees.
President Conger announced
that, as usual, the kindergarten
won the attendance prize, hut
that Mrs. Lloyd Bunch’s fifth
grade was second.
