National Home Demonstration Week Observed April 30-May 6 National Home Demonstration Week will be observed April 30 to May 6. The setting aside of a week each year to honor home demon stration work provides an op portunity to tell the people of the United States and to a great degree the people of the world of the contributions made by home demonstration work in the progress of our nation. All groups interested in the development and improvement of the farm, home, family and com munity should take advantage of the opportunity offered by Na tional Home Demonstration Week to acquaint the general public, especially the younger farm fam ilies, of the educational programs available through the Home Eco nomics Agents and through the Home Demonstration Club work. v The observance of this week should emphasize the importance of wise management decisions in home and family living, and in crease the awaireness of the in " fluence of the home on the char acter and the personality of 'our youth. While the development of hew skills and changed atti tudes in the many phases of koraemaking are important, the broader aspects of the problems of Agriculture and their relation to local, national and world eco nomy must not be overlooked.

County, state and fed eral extension services have joined forces to call attention to these changes which influence the home, the community, the state and the nation. It speci fically points out the contribu tions that home demonstration work makes to homemakers- in interpreting the results of re search and experience -in the field of homemaking. The con tributions which volunteer local leaders have made to the pro gram should never be overlook ed, as these leaders furnish the real channel tor getting the prac tices put into operation. One of the fine programs be ing emphasized at this time is the development of communities. Problems in connection with such projects emphasize the ne cessity of peopie learning to work together to accomplish goals that they cannot achieve as separate individuals or as separate fam ilies. The community is the log ical place to demonstrate the democratic principles which have sustained this nation through its many trials and tribulations. vited to Center Hill Friday, April 28 at 8 o’clock to take part. I Edenton Group At Highway Meeting Continued from Page 1, Section 1 all communities served by U. S. 17 have had a hand in preparing. The association has sa its ma jor goal a speed up of scheduled improvements to U. S. 17 to co incide with the opening of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel in 1963. According to Wilbur Smith and Associates, New Haven, Conn., traffic engineers for the Chesa peake Bay Bridge and Tunnel District, Jones said, the day the bridge is completed the imme diate impact on highways at the Virginia-Carolina line would be approximately 1.600 vehicles per day over the present count. An nual increases in use of the fixed crossing of the bay are expected to bring the daily traffic load to approximately 10,000 vehicles a day within 10 years. U. S. High way 17 is the economic lifeline in this area, Jones pointed out. “I feel sure that every citizen in our community is interested in seeing that scheduled improve ments for U. S.. Highway 17. are. completed in time to prevent bottlenecks in this major north south artery, and will do all pos sible to support the program.” THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THOMDAT, APRIL 27, lttl. fovic calendar] —.— —■ 1— - - .

Before his appointment as Mayor he serv ed as Third Ward Councilman. Mr. Haskett has served as Mayor for 12 years. He was first elected without opposition in 1943 when J. H. McMullan de clined to seek re-election. Pre viously he served as Third Ward Councilman. He served as May or for 12 consecutive years, from 1943 until 1955, after which he was twice successively defeat ed by Ernest Kehayes. In the 1959 election he was again a candidate which included David Holton and Kehayes. The vote in this election was 400 for Hol ton, 330 for Kehayes and 293 for Haskett. Quite a few new voters have been placed on the town’s regi stration books and as election day draws near interest is mounting in the Mayor’s race, so that with favorable weather a record vote is anticipated. For the two Councilmen-at large seats there are four candi dates. Two of these are incum bents, J. Edwin Bufflap and George A. Byrum. The other two are Frank Holmes and George Tillett, Negro attorney. Quite a bit of interest prevails in this race with alt four can didates appealing to the voters j for their support. I A keen contest is scheduled for Councilman from the First Ward, where there are three candidates seeking to fill the va cancy caused by the resignation of William C. Bunch, Jr., who moved to Norfolk. The first to file for this office was Richard D. Dixon, Jr., after which J. D. Elliott, offered himself as a can didate. The latest to file in the race was Wilmer E. Malone. All three candidates are working hard to win votes, so that more than usual interest prevails for a Councilman’s seat. In the Third Ward, -R. Elton Forehand, incumbent, is opposed by a Negro, the Rev. F, H. La- Garde, pastor of Providence Baptist Church. Forehand was appointed Third Ward Council man by Town Council following the death of David Holton and the appointment of John Mitch ener as Mayor. It is the first time he has asked the voters to elect him to office. It is also the first time La- Garde has sought public office, and both candidates are busying themselves to line up votes. What appears to be another interesting contest is to elect five members on the Board of Public Works. There are seven candidates for these seats, five of whom are incumbents and include Thomas Byrum, chair man, Ralph E. Parrish, Jesse Harrell, Joe Conger, Jr., and James P. Ricks, Jr. The two other candidates are Dr. A. F. Downum and George S. Twid Vote For j George S.

In 1957 he was one of three candidates for Council man-at-large, but failed to mus ter enough votes to defeat George A. Byrum and J. Edwin Bufflap.
