Negro Community Progress
Contest Group Scheduled To
Be Judged Friday, Ntm 18tib
November 18 has been set by
the Chowan Agricultural Work
ers Council to judge all organiz
ed Negro communities participat
ing in the Community Progress
Contest for 1960. This year the
judges will go to each com
munity to judge that community.
Heretofore, scrap books were
passed in by each group and
the placings were determined by
the progress indicated in the
scrap book. However, this year,
each community has designated
a place in the community to
meet the judges.
A group representing the com
munity will present to the judg
es th^’activities planned by the
group at the beginning of the
year, how many of these and
other activities were accomplish
ed, how the group worked to
gether to make these accom
plishments a reality and how the
community functioned as an or
ganized group. If time permits,
the judges may elect to see one
or two projects in each com
munity. The Danish system of
judging will be used, which
means that each community will
be placed in the blue, red or j
white ribbon class. Then, for
the first time this year, a grand
champion community will be se- !
lected.
The meeting places selected by
Development Group
Meets At Center Hill
The Center Hill Community
Development Program held its
last meeting of the year Wed
nesday night, November 9, at
the community building. A cov
ered dish supper of a variety
of good food was enjoyed by
everyone that attended.
The secretary, Helen E. Hol
lowed and reporter, Ruth E.
Monds, gave a report on the
year’s activities and progress.
Everyone present agreed it was
hard to realize so much pro
gress had been made in the
community during the year.
Slides of before and after pic
tures were shown which made
all sit up and take notice of
a lot of beauty in the communi
ty not realized when it is seen
every day. There were many
outstanding projects, and all
goals set at the beginning of the
year were completed. Some of
the outstanding projects enjoy
ed were pictures of Ruth Monds’
and Lois Venters’ remodeled
kitchens, Lessie Ward’s remodel
ed home, the Center Hill-Cross
Roads Fire Station, Marie Turn
er’s new picket fence in the
backyard with the beautiful
flowers, the Methodist Church
yard with the newly planted
trees and shrubbery and always
room for the smaller boys of
the community to have a ball
gjiime, The beauty of the flower
farrm when the jonquils are in
full bloom, the cemeferV'wall at
the Baptist churchyard that h as
been an added attraction. And
one of the pictures enjoyed by
everyone that seemed to tell so
much was the picture of an old
brick chimney standing alone
but straight and tall, and very
proud. Viewing this picture one
could imagine the warmth this
old chimney must have provided
during the years and the cheer
fulness it had given, the dreams
it had nourished, the encourage
ment, confidence and hope it
must have provided; must have
heard the first cr ; es of life and
also the last gfasp of breath—
