PAGE SIX-A S BROAD STREET BULLETIN We fished for spots, which were all in one spot, \long the fishing pier; Too many sought spots, got their lines tied in knots And the cost of fishing was DEAR! We really enjoyed fish ing at the pier down at Nags Head this past Sat urday. In (act, counting even the tiny ones, we caught 93 to be exact. However, we did catch some really nice spots and good-sized mullets. I no ticed that my son was all to himself fishing and ap parently contented—he was catching fish and keeping quiet about it, until some one else noticed, too, and it wasn't long until that spot on the pier was con gested with fishermen, crossed lines and short tempers. Most people who are really fishermen are also good sports, who bear and forbear, with the more or less inexperienced ang ler and, believe me. it's exciting and fun. There’s a lot of excite ment across the street at the Iredell House these days in the redecorating and beautifying of this historic home, getting ready for the big celebration coming up this weekend in connection with Historic Edenton’g Visitor Center- Museum at the Barker House. For many months now, workers, under the direction of the local DAR Chapter, have been install - ing central heat, painting inside, really completely restoring this old historic home. All these restora “Time Marches On” Seemingly to me, it was yesterday when my hus band, John Jasper Barnes, and I so proudly went to Chowan Hospital and brought home with us a sweet little baby girl, five months old Vernetta Wood Barnes. My husband said we will take her and one day She might do us some good. I am the US, be cause the summer of 1960 he passed and left us alone. It was the height of his ambition as well as that of my mother and father, to see Vernetta graduate. Fri day night, May 31st, at the D. F. Walker High School graduation exercises, I could not help but think of them when Vernetta so graciously received her High School Diploma. Allow me to say, be not alarmed about my men tioning the adoption. Ver netta is aware of it and very appreciative to the many friends who have helped her along the way. In the home she has prov en to me more than a beautiful girl and I will miss her wherever she goes. May 26, 1968 she received a beautiful letter from Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Cox (old friends of the family). I want her to al ways cherish it and I give this portion which also ex presses my sentiments. 1 quote: “Your parents have made it possible for you to reach your first goal in preparation for your moat challenging career. As you pack your bag in prepara tion for college may you not forget to pack into your heart and mind the many beautiful things your par ents have taught you all through the years. You will need every one of them. The prayers of your parents will not be enough to keep you when you are far away train them. So pray constantly for good health, courage, wisdom, understanding, dignity, re spect for yourself and oth ers, and unbounding faith in God." Unquote. Ver netta will always cherish these words, along with the many beautiful and useful gifts received from many friends of both races. She is more than grateful as well as surprised be cause just a few days ego it was your help that caus ed her to be crowned 1968 Queen of the Zeta Phi Beta Debutante Cotillion In the National Guard Arm ory as Windsor, North Ca rolina. Through your help tions and interesting his toric places make Edenton even a more wonderful place in which to live. Here’s a hint to most anyone, as we are all guilty at some time or an other of throwing bits of fruit, seeds or peelings on the street or in other pub lic places. This week I slipped on a seed of a peach or plum, thrown carelessly on a floor. For tunately, I did not fall, but managed to twist myself a bit, causing soreness in my side for a couple days. Please try to remember, this sort of carelessness could cause a broken bone and lots of misery. If you’ll keep your eyes and ears open, you’ll see end hear of so many peo ple in our town who are completely unselfish in their everyday life, never asking for, and seldom get ting the recognition they deserve. One lady I know, who works down town in a store, never misses a chance to help someone or doing her bit to make someone’s day just a little happier. Status in life or color of skin doesn’t stop her from being friend ly or helpful. Would that there were more people like—MAE TOPPING. m Vwmvtta Wood Bum $1,001.22. Again accept cur sincere thanks. She was told that for her work the college of her choice will receive $425.00 from the sorority. Hats off, not only to the 1968 Zeta Phi Beta Queen but also to the 1968 graduate. Vemetta, has been affiliated with the Youth Choir, Junior' Usher Board and Tharring ton’s Club of Kadesh AME Zion Church, secretary of the Girls Club, a branch of the Woman’s Federated Club. When it comes to the school, she has held class office as Vice Presi dent and Assistant Secre tary. She has been a band member since the be ginning of the Fifth Grade. I don’t have to think, or wonder, about it because she left Mrs. Tamar Clark’s room out of the Fourth Grade and joined the band. From the Fifth Grade until graduation, she used her own instru ment She has performed many times and many places for various groups with her beauty of move ment with ballet and crea tive dandng. Nothing has been said about anything. My being a member of the staff has caused her to be deprived of many things. When teachers gave low grades they looked for me to say something but I fooled them because Ver netta is going to get where she’s going. It’s a happy event, -not only for you. But for all of your friends and your family, too. And this brings good wishes that day after day The beat things in life win be beaded your way! - i?4.YOUR MOMMY, Mrs. Elizabeth Luton adv. • Did you ever try putting peeled hard boiled eggs in with pickled beets? Leave them there for a few days and they will be a beauti ful color and very delici ous colorful for salads, too. A Few Hints Egg stained dishes will wash easier if a little Sale is put in them while they soak. Substitute syrup from canned peaches for liquid called for in pancake bat ter. Rubbing the hands with celery leaves will remove cnion odors from fingers. A slice of raw potato will remove vegetable stains from hands. ASCS News By H. O. WEST Certification All farm operators in the county are responsible for certifying to the crops planted and land uses on farms they operate and/or delegate in writing the au thority for someone else to certify on their behalf. The farms that are required to be measured for adminis trative control have already been selected by the coun ty committee and delay of certification will have no bearing on whether the farm will be measured. All certification must be made by June 30, 1968, but the sooner certification is made, the earlier we will be able to compute final payments for cotton and feed grain. CCC Grain Bias To B* Sold Farmers who need addi tional storage for their small grain crop—and later on for soybeans and corn— should get in touch with the local ASCS county fice for details about sales of excess CCC bins, A. C. Griffin, chairman, Agricul 'ur al Stabilization and Conservation County Com mittee, said today. Under a program similar to —but smaller than last year’s the Commodity Cre di t Corporation . owned grain storage bins started moving May 10 from mid west states where they are no longer needed to 15 eastern and southeastern states, where there is a shortage of on - the - farm storage facilities. Shipment and sale of the bins—earl ier than last year to meet the need for small grain storage space is intended to help farmers gain more bargaining power in the market place. Chowan County expects to receive about 10 of the bins for sale to farmers. Thd bins generally will be of the same type as last year, of 3,250 bushel capa city. Farmers eligible to buy the bins will certify that the bins will be used for storing and handling agricultural commodities. Sale of the bins will be by competitive bids through public auction or sealed bids at not less than the established minimum price. Because of increased costs, the minimum will be slightly higher than last year, and it will take into consideration the value of the bins at the point of origin, dismantling cost and transportation. Sales will be for cash or through a storage facility loan if the farmer is eligible for one. The farm storage fa cility loans can cover up to 85 per cent of the out of-pocket cost of approved structures needed to store price-support grains. The exact date of the bin sales will be announced later. Society News Mr. and Mrs. Tam and boys and Mrs. Kitty McMullan and boys spent the weekend at Nap Head.
