I—SECTION THREE PAGE TWO I AROUND THE FARMS |IN CHOWAN COUNTY By C. W. OVERMAN. Chowan County Aganl Three Very Important Releren-1 dums Next Tuesday: < Cotton and ‘ peanut growers have three ref erendums to vote on next Tues day and these referendums are of vital importance to every grower of these crops. Voting places will be reasonably con venient to every grower in Cho wan County. Every grower has an obligation and a responsibility to go and cast his ballot. On cotton, growers will vote on the continuation of cotton al lotments and marketing quotas for the next three years. Cotton growers will also vote on the continuation of the 10 percent per bale assessment for cotton promotion for the next three years. The allotment and mar leting quota program is helping to balance production with de mand. " The promotional assess ment is aiding considerably in cotton products research, cotton education, and other phases of promoting the use of cotton, which in turn reverts back to the grower in the amount of cotton he can produce and the price he gets. Peanut growers will vote on the continuation of the peanut allotment and marketing quota program for the next three years. It is through this program that an effort is made to balance pro duction with demand, giving the grower a fair price for his pea nuts. Cotton and peanut growers should consider their value to them and their families in bet ter family living. All persons who participate in the direct in come from cotton and/or pea nuts, respectively, are eligible to vote. Let’s make this the big gest vote Chowan County has ever had, and in so doing, show' to our people, and particularly i our leaders, 'how we feel about these farm programs. Tobacco Growers Meeting Next Tuesday Night: A county-wide tobacco growers meeting will be held at the Chowan County Court House on next Tuesday night, December 11, at 7:30 o’clock.

Successful Chest X-ray Partici pation: I congratulate the some over 1600 people who took ad vantage of the chest X-ray pro gram held in.Edenton during the last week. I think this is just wonderful participation and all whom I have talked with are so pleased with it. This is the kind of cooperation that makes community and coun ty projects successful and builds a real community spirit. I am sure that the chest X-rays will make everybody happy, most of whom there will be a negative report and perhaps a few may find some infection that can be cured early and their lives made fuller. Ryland Community Scores In Area Competition: The Albe marle Area Community Develop ment Awards program was held at the National Guard Armory in Elizabeth City last Thursday night. There were 32 people from Chowan County present in the approximately 160 people at- I tending the occasion. Archie K. Davis, chairman of the board, Wachovia Bank and Trust Com pany, brought us an inspirational message on the progress being made and future possibilities of the Albemarle area. George Lewis, chairman of the area community development committee, presented the awards. Scuppernong Community of Tyr rell County received first place award of $125 and Tyrrell Coun ty also won the attendance award with -57 present, traveling an ’average of approximately 61 IMS CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. DECEMBER -t. 1962. ■■■”■ Eg A recent study of marine angling reveals that salt water boat fishermen catch approximately 75 more fish per man a year than' surf and pier fishermen. . The study also pointed out that by averaging the weights ofl • all the marine sport fish taken in 1960 the average fish weighs' 2% -pounds. If we’re sport fishing for fun and food, the figure certainly gives a boost to light salt water tackle. For the meat fisherman who manhandles a 14-pound tuna or a 6-pound yellow tail on 3-thread line, a net would get more fish with about as much fun and satisfaction. The finest sport fishermen swear that the fun is in the catch ing. A couple of hundred vards of 17-pound test monofilament: on a •Mifrhen salt water spinning reel or an Ambassadeur 6000 is more than enough to take a 14-pound tuna in 15 minutes with plenty of thrills and a feeling of’pride. Fresh water trout and bass fishermen have given, up on heavy line long ago. Inland fishing today is done with ultra i light tackle and hair-thin line to keep the sport in it. It’s about time salt water anglers earned their fish with techni que and not just muscle. Taken in conjunction with the 1960 national survey of fishing and hunting, the study by Fishery Biologist John R. Clark estimates the total ma rine sport catch in 1960 at 633 million fish weighing over 1.4 billion pounds. To get the figures, - outdoor writers, sport fishing groups, magazines, charter and) party boat operators, conservation agencies, and government and private marine laboratories were polled. Clark found that. “regular” salt water fishermen caught an average of 102 fish per year per man. Approximately, 369 mil lion fish were taken by Atlantic coast fishermen, 185 million on the Gulf Coast, and 79 million by Pacific coast anglers. The 10 most commonly caught species were seatrout, croacker, flounder, sea catfish, mackerels, porgy, whiting, bluefish, spot and grunt. California yellowtail were caught in large numbers accord ing to the report. Clark estimated that 2,370,000 yellowtail were taken in 1960. A quarter million yellowtail or more were taken by party boat fishermen alone. I hope that all the anglers who caught all those fish had a good time doing it that’s what sport fishing is, isn’t it? miles. Whiteston Community of Perquimans County placed sec ond with an award of SIOO. Ry land Community of Chowan County won third prize of $75. The top community in Currituck, Pasquotank and Washington counties received an award of SSO each. The requirement for area competition was that a county must have at least three organized communities being judged in the county in order to participate in the area competi tion. The above six counties qualified for area competition. Other counties in the area are Dare, Hyde, Camden and Gates. We hope that all ten counties will qualify for area competition in 1963. Rotary Club Peanutburger Din ner Climaxes 1962 4-H Peanut Production Contest: Under the direction of President Bill Rose • vear, the Rotary Club staged a peanutburger dinner, climaxing the 1962 4-H Peanut Production Contest. This event was held at the Edenton Armory on Friday night at 6:30 o’clock. The 4-H participants were guests of the Rotary Club. The 4-H Clubs over the county sold tickets to the dinner, the proceeds of which go into the county 4-H Club treasury. There were approximately 160 mothers and dads, sweethearts and friends, Rotarians and wives and others in attendance at the dinner. There was no drawn out program but the event was meant to be largely a sociable period, bringing our town and country citizens together for fel lowship as well as honoring the l peanut contestants. SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD By John Corey. Appalachian State Teacher* College j Report Cards No Substitute For Personal Interview Report cards tell much about Junior’s work in school but they can’t touch what face-to-face chats with his teachers reveal. Earl L. Petrey, assistant prin cipal of the laboratory element ary school on the campus of Ap palachian State Teachers College, Boone, N. C., endorses this state ment. A personal talk (called “con ference” by school folks) - brings to surface details about your youngster’s progress which .make for clearer understanding, says veteran Schoolman Petrey. Is Junior’s “C” in reading, for instance, based on his being in a fast reading group or an aver- age one? The grade has more meaning when you learn from ; the teacher which section he’s in. ’ What does Junior’s “B” in con- ' duct mean? Why didn’t he make an “A”? Has he undesirable be havior habits you don’t know about? i Answers to these and other questions are obviously easier to i give in private conference than on report cards. That’s why : every mother and father should have at least one person-to-per son talk with teacher each year. November or early December is a good time to pow-wow. By then the teacher knows enough about the child for a thorough discussion of his progress. And since two-thirds of the school year remains, there’s time left for him to improve. Most teachers welcome and many actually solicit your visit. After school is a good conference time. And when you go, be sure to exhibit an attitude that will elicit clear words from the teach er. Aware that children are largely reflections of parents, she may be too tactful with unfav orable comments about Junior and soft-pedal her words to the extent that you don’t get a sharp appraisal. In this case, set the stage for clear communication. Indicate that you’re objective-minded and prefer straight language without sweetening for your own ego. For further depth appraisal, you might help by making sure these pertinent questions, listqd, in the National Education Asso ciation booklet, “Conference I Time,” are answered: 1 * $ we're in the : & £ 1 (»!HH ill s miim Mill ijjj ... and have the gifts to match! *j Timex Waters Manicure Sets Men’s Toiletry Kit *1 $6.95 to $19.95 $3.95 to $9.95 $3.95 t 0.510.00 $3.98 to SIO.OO * TZ Camera Sets Leather Wallets CIGARS ;jj $25.50 to $129.50 $13.99 $3.95 to $10.95 50’s 52.35 up WINDPROOF AND SIZES^ 3 Pocket Lighter Hollingsworth Pen - Pencil Sets * $3-95 to $9.95 $1.50 to $12.50 $1.50 to SISXIO SI.OO to $22.50 . —ls my child- working up to his ability? —What ability group is hei in, and why? < —How does he get along with other children? —Does he obey?
