Town Council Acts On Many Items In Record Time Tuesday Although a goodly nijmber of items of business confronted Town Council at its iqeeting 'on Tuesday night, they were handled with dispatch, so that the Councilmen were through \yith their work by 10:30 o’clock. A considerable amount of the time was devoted to hearing a committee from the Chamber of Commerce which presented a request to adopt a policy with parking meter operation which would be less offensive to out of-town visitors. Speakers for the committee were H. A. Campen, W. J. P. Earnhardt and Henry Quinn. Mr. Campen stated that consid erable study had been given by the committee relative to some method of advising visitors that they had overparked. He pre sented a number of policies used in pther towns and recommend i ed the Plymouth plan whereby a parking violator could deposit what he owed for parking in an envelope, so that it would not be necessary to go to the police! I station. Though the matter was dis cussed at length, no action was taken in order to allow the Councilmen to give more thought to the idea. A contract was awarded to West Leary to remove the old Willis wafehouse at the foot of Broad Street. The contract price was S4OO, with Mr. Leary re quested to remove all the tin and timber in the building. It was reported that the Zon ing Commission had refused to change the zoning ordinance in order for the Baptist Churqh to construct a parking lot between Eden and Queen Streets. Mayor Mitchener, therefore, called a public hearing to be held Tues-i day night, September 19, at 81 iffcgflN CHOWAN COUNTY | j By C. W. OVERMAN, Chowan County Agent Feeder Calf and Yearling Steer Sales; The Rocky Mount Re gional Feeder Calf Sale will be held September 21, 1961. The Rich Square Cooperative Feeder Cali Sale will i>e held on Octo ber 11, 1961. Vv Information recently received from the Animal Husbandry Ex-| tension Specialists, N. C. State l College, Raleigh, indicates that thebe will be more feeder calves and i yearling steers to sell this fall than at any time since the special state sponsored sales were started. Quite a number of beef cattle producers in oth er counties have been selling feeder calves through coopera tive .sales for several years and are well pleased with prices re ceived in comparison 'with the open market. However, plans to participate in these sales cannot be made at the last minute. Timely suggestions from the Ex tension Specialists are as fol lows: “1. To comply with the rules and regulations of all state spon sored feeder calf sales, all . calves must be properly dehorn ed and completely healed. Now is a good time to check calves to see that they are dehorned properly. Each year we have > a number of calves rejected at all sales because they have horns, or scurs.

A favorable vote was given for Russell Wheeler to secure an on and off premise beer license at Chub’s Drive In. Some consideration was given to the idea of requesting the Wildlife Commission to construct a ramp at the base property for the convenience of fishermen who fish in Albemarle Sound. Luther Parks reported that he had contacted George Freeman, the town’s engineer to secure recommendations concerning im proving the tennis courts on Hicks Field. Mayor Mitchener stated that he intended to write a letter to A. C. Boyce on behalf of the town in appreciation of his ef forts in taking over the Albe marle. Peanut Company a few years ago when there was a strong possibility of losing a valuable industry. Mayor Mitch ener will also write a letter to R. Newton Laughlin, president of Continental Baking Company of Rye, N. Y., who on Tuesday an nounced the purchase of the lo cal concern. Larry Noyes was awarded the contract to audit the town’s books. During the meeting bids were opened for the town’s insurance. Nationwide Insurance Company was low bidder for all of the insurance with the following bids on a yearly basis: Work men’s liability and employer’s li ability, $2,197.85; comprehensive automobile liability, $829.90; com prehensive general liability, $903.30, and volunteer firemen’s coverage, $228.47. 2. Heifer calves are guaran ■i teed open. In the past most all of the heifers that proved to be hred, were bred from July Ist to the sale date. All herd bulls : should .be amoved ffom the cow J herd not Tater than July Ist each | year. j 3. All calves must be vaccinat led for blackleg and shipping fever at least 10 days prior to the date of the sale. If calves have not already been vaccinat -led this should be done by Sep tember 1, 1961. 4. Some cattle are rejected at the sales each fall because of pink eye. Cattle should be checked for this and infected animals isolated and treated. A good fly control program from now until sale time will help. 5. Creep feeding calves from now until sale time is a good way to market grain.” Certain producers have been furnished the required certifi cates to be signed reative to the vaccination, producer’s agree ment regarding open heifers, and number of cattle to be consign ed. It is important that this information be sent in on time. If you are interested in selling cattle in these special sales and have not been furnished the ne cessary forms, please contact my office and let me know of your interest.
