4 h Girl Shows Off ‘Mary’ By MAIDRED MORRIS “With ample supply of pas ture, clean water, feed, and shade, ‘Mary’ grew to »be a de sired type of animal,’* said Kayj Lowe in speaking of her “Hamp shire" pig. In 1959, Kay Lowe, 17, daugh-j |cr of Mr. and Mrs. : Woodrow Lowe, Edenton, RL 3. won first place in showmanship of her pig. She won a blue ribbon and trophy. The main purpose of the live stock program is to teach the 4-H Club members to profitab.y produce livestock cf the desired type and qual ty by personally caring for the livestock oroiect. In seven years of 4-H Club work, Kay completed 29 pro jects. She has served as assst-. ant' local 4-H Club leader for tWo years. During National 4-H Clubj Week, March 5-12, Kay will be! taking an active part in the county observance. The Chowan County 4-H'ers have been selling radio commer cials for radio station WCDJ in Edenton for several days. Theyr will receive a commission for' commercials sold. The money will go into the county’s 4-H 1 Monument Removal j so Be Voters’ Decision! Continuad from Page 1. Section 1 order that more visitors would I see it,” she said, “is not true, i according to my way of think-! ing.” She belittled the*idea of changing the monument to at- 1 tract tourists, saying that thei Chowan County Daughters of the Confederacy selected the Site as the most appropriate and wanted it in front of the Court House, but in 1960 to remove the monument to attract tourist Hoi-' lars is not understandable to her. “Let’s not stoop that low to at-1 tract tourists,” she said, “but * let’s get money on a higher level, and not use the sacred monu- ■ ment as a decoy.” Ep Debnam stated that while he could not qualify as a native of Chowan County, he has lived here 27 years. He expressed the belief that moving the monument j would bring more attention to 1 more local people as well as j visitors. He gave the Woman’s' C>"b credit for attracting many, t.«rists to Edenton from in and. out of the state.

However, The Herald has been informed that the Woman's Club will find the finances if they are given permission to move the monument. Mrs. W. J. P. Earnhardt, who has done a great deal of work in connection with the project, stated that she understood that B. G. Willis plans to retire in June and that she believes the town should be concerned in | buying his property an the wa- I terfront. “The purpose of the Woman’s Club is to enhance the attractiveness of the town,” she | said. “We have done nothing i and surely are not planning to! do anything detrimental to the | town.” She stressed that the Woman’s Club has, by its tours, drawn over 15,000 tourists to the town and that the. club surely is not interested in wrecking the town. She said the club has given SIO,OOO for various im provements to Edenton and that they are now again striving to do what they can to emphasize history and that the proposed plan would stand out in the fu ture. | Mrs. R. P. Badham read some j interesting minutes of the former ! Garden Club which had to do with improving the appearance of the Green and that she was j favorable to the proposed im provements. The Rev. James MacKenzie said he didn’t question the mo-i tive of the Woman’s Club andj referred to a petition circulated at John A. Holmes High School objecting to spending public money for improvements Which it was pointed out should be spent for a community center for young people. “The money could be spent more wisely if spent for a progressive Edenton instead of historic purposes,” he said. “I wouldn’t object if the Woman’s Club secured the ne cessary money and not use pub lic money,” said Mr. MacKen zie. “The future of the town rests with our young people and while the Woman’s Club has done a great deal of good for the town, money spent in the interest of our young people will be more wisely spent.” Robert Boyce, Jr., who now works in Norfolk, stated that the proposed new site of the Con federate monument is no worse than the Confederate monument in Norfolk. Walter Bond spoke briefly in opposition to the proposed im provements, while Jimmy Ricks and Mrs. John Graham voiced their approval of the proposi tion. Mrs. Joe Thorud was the fi nal speaker, who defended the insinuations aimed at the club and stated that “the Woman’s Club members were not here to go on trial”. The Commissioners then went into the transaction of regular business and after dinner went in the county accountant’s office on the second floor. A consid erable amount of time was spent with Sheriff Earl Goodwill, Tax Supervisor W. P. Jones and County Attorney John Shackel ford relative to complicated tax matters. Little progress was made in reaching a decision regarding moving the monument. Finally Gilliam Wood made a motion giving permission to move the monument to the foot of Broad Street prviding Town Council gives permission to place it there and with the understanding that no tax money be used for any part of the project. His mo tion did not receive a second So it was killed. Mr. Wood pointed out to the Commissioners that about $7,200 of the anticipated money would have been spent on the Green. He also stated that because the Green is county property, the Commissioners were obligated to improve and preserve it, and that it will mean county money in sjzeable amount will be necessary. "Refusing the re- Izjkj*-«££ TS*! severe blow to the Woman’s Club in their organized effort to beautify and preserve historical shrines in the town. This action can very easily have a far reaching effect.” j Commissioner J. R. Peele said he was not especially opposed to the improvements, but with the opinion so divided he didn’t want to be one to make a de cision. Carey Hollowell and Dallas Jethro, Jr., said that while they had received post cards and letters urging . a fav orable vote on the project, most of the people in their respective sections were opposed and for that reason they were in favor of a vote to decide the issue. Mr. Peele subsequently made a motion to submit the proposal to a vote of the people in the Democratic primary election on May 28. Mr. Hollowell second ed the motion and, of course the three voted for the motion and Mr. Wood voted against it. The State Board of Elections has been contacted and the Cho wan County Board of Elections has been notified that it is legal to hold this election in connec tion with the primary election. During the meeting John Shackelford was appointed as County Attorney. LIBRARY DIRECTORS NAMED Chowan County Commission ers on Monday appointed three trustees for the Pettigrew Re gional Library. Those appoint ed were Tom Shepard for six years, Mrs. George Mack, 4 years and Mrs. Sidney McMul len for two years. WE CARRY ONLY TOP QUALITY MEATS HAVE YOUR STEAKS CUT WHILE YOU SHOP!
