ELIZABETH ClTY—Plans have been

Anniversary concerts presented during
the 1969-70 season by The Albemarle

the Edenton Baptist Church.
Dr. Clifford Bair will direct the pro

which will be sung by soloist and choris
ter members of the Northeast, South

minimum adequate site on which to build
the home.
To be eligible for a loan a person must
possess the character and ability to carry
out the undertakings and have a satis
factory past credit record.
He must own either a farm or non
farm tract or become the owner of a
minimum adequate building site when
the loan is closed. Be without decent,
safe, and sanitary housing or without
farm service buildings essential to th#
success of his farming operations. He
must be unable to finance the needed
improvements with his own resources or
with credit from other sources, have
sufficient income to pay operating and
family living expenses, and meet pay
ments on debts, including the proposed
rural housing loan.
A family of four with an income of
approximately $8,500 may be classed as
a moderate income.
The maximum repayment term is 33
years. Each borrower is expected to re
finance the unpaid balance of the loan
when able to obtain such refinancing at
reasonable rates and terms from other
lenders.
Rural Housing loans help create the
kind of rural communities that encourage
people to live in rural areas, help check
the flow of rural people to urban areas,
encourage urban families who can find
employment in rural areas to live in the
countryside.
The program raises living standards,
creates a healthy environment for fami
ly life, and makes rural communities at
tractive locations for the development
and expansion of rural industries. They
also stimulate economic activity in rural
communities by increasing employment
opportunities for construction workers
and increasing sales of building materials
and home furnishings.
An applicant applies at the county
Farmers Home Administration office
serving the area in which the property to
be bought, built, or improved, will be
located.
The local office is located at the coun
ty office building in Hertford, Monday,
Wednesday and Friday and 301 Kramer
Building in Elizabeth City on Tuesday
and Thursday. This office serves Cho
wan, Perquimans, Pasquotank, Camden
and Currituck counties.
Is anybody in Chowan County keep
ing up with the price of living? \
It is rather rare for an individual to
detect signs of his own extravagances.

“Byi Buff”
Due to my space being cut short last
week, a very important item did not appear
in this column. It had to do with my
happiness to learn that Miss Lena Jones
had been named “Woman of the Year” by
Edenton’s. BPW Club. About the only
thing I can say is that she has been Woman
of the Year long before now for I don t
know of any woman in Edenton who is
more worthy of the' honor than Miss Lena.
If any woman has spread more “sunshine’
among, the old and young for so many
years—well, who is she? Then, too, ' she s
been a school teacher so long that I sort
of wonder if she was my teacher at one
time or another. Anyway, here’s my con
gratulations to Miss Lena for the honor
and to the BPW Club for choosing her.
o— —
Grandmothers generally are very proud
of their grandchildren and such is the case
with Mrs. W. C. Moore and Mrs. Fate
Forehand. Mrs. Moore was on a recent
visit with her son and daughter-in-law,
Mr. and Mrs. Billy Moore, in Chicago,
where two of the grandchildren recently
won honors. Miss Patricia (Pat) Moore, a
former student at John A. Holmes High
School, made the honor roll for the first
time at 0)0 Austin High School. She is a
freshman. Then William T. (Bill) Moore,
Jr., won first prize in a sixth grade science
fair at Emmett Elementary School and also
won next to the highest honor at a district
fair. The two awards were won for his
rocket. He is a former student at Eden
ton’s Ernest A. Swain Elementary School.
Looks like the Moores are doing well in
the “Windy City,” and it’s nice to know
that they got their start in Edenton.
o
From the Buff lap Sick Room: The fact
that a short column of “Broad Street Bul
letin” appears in this issue of The Herald
attests to the fact that the Missus is mak
ing some progress. Though still very weak,
she mustered up enough strength this week
to write a few lines. She is apparently
getting along quite well except for the fact
that regaining strength is a very slow pro
cess. Maybe part of this is due to lack of
an appetite, so that what food is eaten is
forced down, even with so many tempting
items of food which have been sent to her.
Being very fond of seafood, I bought a
pound of back fin crabmeat the other day
which, she said, was the first food she lias
eaten since returning from the hospital
which tasted good. When I bought tho
crabmeat I facetiously asked Myrtle Tynch,
“That will cost about 50 cents, will it not
But another customer chimed in “Heck, 50
cents will pay only for the top on the
can.” And, by George, he was about right.
But it was worth the price to see the
Missus eat a meal.
o
Saturday morning the Methodist Men’s
Club will again serve their pickled herring
breakfast from 7 to 9 o’clock. Quite a few
local people enjoy these breakfasts and the
“boys” will be ready to shell out the her
ring, com bread, grits and coffee. They’d
like to see a record crowd turn out Sat
urday morning.
o
With National Library Week scheduled
to be observed April 12-18, about the most
enthusiastic friend of the library is John
A. Taylor. He has been named Chowan
County chairman by Mrs. Bob Scott, and
he’s doing his best to make the event a
success. He is high in his praise of Shep
ard-Pruden Library and urges people to
go to the library for many kinds of infor
mation, recreation and entertainment—not
only during Library Week, but every day
the library is open. “Taxpayers are foot
ing the bill for the library,” he says, “and
everybody should take advantage of the
services it provides.”
o
With so many nice things done, said and
written for the Missus, one of the most in
spiring took place Sunday night when Tom
Surratt played a cornet solo of one of her
favorite hymns at the Methodist Church.
Though she went to a lot of effort to dress,
and be pushed in a wheelchair to the
church, it was so very inspiring and up
lifting that it seemed to give her a big lift
and well repaid her for her efforts to get
to church. Tom dedicated the solo to her.
o
Many local Baptists were stunned Sun
day when Rev. R. N. Carroll announced
that he would retire Sunday, April 26. He
has been pastor of the Edenton church for
24 years and if ever a preacher won the
wholehearted love and admiration of a
congregation, Mr. Carroll is one. Though
not a Baptist, here’s one who regrets to see
him leave Edenton.
HIRING MARCH 23
Continued from Page 1
Jordan said this is very important and
the students as well as parents should
be informed of this.
In discussing the survey further, Dr.
Edward G. Bond, chairman, said it is
obvious the county must build some new
buildings in the next few years.
Dr. Downum suggested that White
Oak School, which would be closed if
the survey team’s recommendations
followed, be used as a technical institute.
The survey team said it would be a
good place for a county-wide kinder
garten.
Supt. Britt was authorized to employ
a driver education instructor. Also, Mrs.
Evelyn Roberts, commercial teacher at
Holmes High, was given a leave of ab
sence.
The board authorized the properties
committee to again attempt to purchase
the house and lot on the east side of
Hicks Field.
Dr. J. H. Horton asked Supt. Britt
about the presence of drugs in the
schools. He was told there is no infor
mation available which would be alarm
ing and no crash drug education program
is on the school curriculum.
In addition to those already mentioned,
board members present included West
Leary.
* The world is crammed with brave men
who are afraid of their wives.
If conditions on the highways get
much worse, it might be a good idea to
put trucks on high wheels and let auto
mobiles pass under them.

ested in building and can build homes
within the price range of FHA.
Applications can be made for loans in
the SIO,OOO to $13,000 range .and for
33 years. No loans can be made for
mobile homes.
Howell explains that payments on
these loans are for 10 months each year
with two months left open to pay taxes
and insurance.
People in the low to moderate income
bracket, then, have means by which they
can help themselves. It is their move
now.
You And The Eclipse
Those who meander along The Public
Parade and elsewhere along the route of
Saturday’s solar eclipse cannot be too
cautious. The dangers of looking direct
ly at the eclipse are known facts, not
just a bunch of junk.
Edenton Lions Club, which in this area
promotes projects for the blind, has en
couraged people to follow specific in
structions in viewing the eclipse.
Dozens of stories have come across
the desk of this writer during the past
few weeks. All of them stress caution.
Three of them appear elsewhere in to
day’s paper.
The schools have done an excellent
job in educating the students as to how
to watch an eclipse and protect their
vision. They have also, through science
projects and lectures, educated the stu
dent as to what the eclipse actually
amounts to.
Because of the importance of this
event, this newspaper devotes page 7 of
this section to stories and pictures about
the eclipse.
You are encouraged to not only read
the printed words and look at the pic
tures. You are encouraged to take the
advice of experts and not fool around
with your eyesight in order to brag next
week that you actually saw the eclipse
without some type aid.
COUNTY ROAD FUNDS
Continued from Page 1
Bobby Cross of the Department of
Local Affairs, explained the program and
said the department would supply plan
ning advice and service to the local
board.
Commissioner Phillips said the next
10 years are going to be very important
in the future of Chowan County. “We
want to promote (development) but cer
tainly want to do it in an orderly man
ner,” he said. “The county must have
an active planning board.”
Lewis said the planning board is now
to the point where professional assist
ance is essential if the board is to con
tinue to function effectively.
Commissioners also voted to purchase
a new ambulance for
Rescue Squad and asked J. Clarence
Leary, vice chairman, to work with Mrs.
Pansy Elliott, county accountant, to see
if money is available.
A request by Mrs. Lena M. Leary,
clerk of court, that estimates be received
on enclosing the courtroom and installing
air conditioning met with little enthusi
asm. Mrs. Leary said past Superior
Court judges and grand juries had com
mented on the inadequacy of the court
facilities and the work could be done
without detracting from the beauty of
the building.
Commissioners said such a plan should
be given extensive study.
Pete Thompson, county extension
chairman, said several groups are work
ing with the American Legion in an ef
fort to build a livestock show and sale
barn at the fairgrounds. He said such
a facility would boost the economy of
the area since it would attract people
from an 11-county area.
State Trooper Robert Allen and
Sheriff Troy Toppin appeared to ask
why there was no driver education class
at John A. Holmes High School. They
said students had confronted them with
this fact.
Commissioners said they were unaware
of the situation and directed the officers
to the school board.
At the suggestion of Sherlon Layton,
the board set 2 P. M., April 6 as the
date to sit as a Board of Equalization
and Review.
Carlton Goodwin, representing Bear
Swamp Drainage District, appeared and
requested a loan of $2,500 so the pro
ject could proceed. No action was
taken.
Commissioners received a request for
a beer permit from James A. Byrum at
Cannon’s Ferry.
Leary presided in the absence of
Chairman W. E. Bond, who is hospitalis
ed. Commissioners present were Phil
lips, C. M. Evans and David Bateman.
No matter how long it may be de
valued, there are those who like to pos
sess currency.
Charity is not always a matter of in
discriminate giving.
