Peanut heaven.
No weeds and grasses
to fight.
►
It’s no dream. Not with dependable Balan®
to kill 20 weeds and grasses as they germi
nate. Wet weather or dry, your peanuts can .
devote their full energies to making the
most of available sunlight, moisture, nutri
ents. All season. Cultivations drop. Peanuts
prosper. Yields soar. About as close to pea
nut heaven as you can get.
Let Balan work for you. Talk about it over a
cup of coffee with your dealer or ask any
Balan user. He’ll tell you.
When you hear it from Elanco,
r you hear it right.

MY FAVORITE BOCK
Boys and girls in the fifth,
sixth and seventh grades at
Chowan High School like to
read good books. With this
in mind, the Chowan High
School Library Club Com
mittee fer National Library
Week gave these students an
opportunity to share their
reading experiences during
National Library Week. All
students in school were in
vited to submit entries for a
“My Favorite Book” contest.
Three Senior Library Club
members, Rhonda Bunch,
j Wanda Ward and Dorothy
| White, were selected to
ohoose the five best entries.
It was announced that the
I five students submitting the
winning entries would receive
one dollar each.
These are the entries con
sidered by the committee to
be the five best, along with
three that they decided should
have honorable mention.
My favorite book is Misty
by Marguerite Henry. Tne
book informed me that horses
can swim in water that is
over their head::. I never
knew this before. There were
so many things I learned
about horses. Each time I see
a horse now, I realize what
he and his trainer would
have to go through before the
horse could become a riding
horse.
—Sherry Harrell, sth Grad.;
1 like Sea Star by Marguer
ite Henry of all the books I
have read. I liked it because
it told about a boy and girl
that raised a wild pony into
a tame one.
It meant more to me be
cause they were going to sell
the pony and give the money
to their Cousin Clarence so
he could go to schocl and
learn to be a minister. It
made me happy to read a
book that Icld about people
helping each other.
—Sue Mosley, sth Grade
My Daughter, Nicola, is the
name of my favorite book.
I like this book because you
never want to put it down,
you always want to read
what is going to happen next.
Another reason I like this
book is that it is full of ad
venture, excitement, happiness
and sadness. To me this
book says two things that a
person can do: if you really
want to do something and
put your mind to it, you can

do anything, and you don’t

someone to really love you.
Debra Boswell, 7th Grade
Os all the books I’ve read'
my favorite one was Benja
min Franklin. It was so in
teresting to read how a boy
who was very poor grew up
to be a very smart and wise
man. Although he only went
to school a few years, Mr.
Franklin became an American
leader. I do not wish to be
come an American leader be
cause I don’t like politics,
and to me it’s a chance of
getting your head blown off.
—Carroll Perry, sth Grade
Patricia Crosses Town is
my favorite choice of books
because the same thing has
happened to me. It has the
same feelings that I do about
white schools. This main
statement reminds me of the
first day of school, “They
were all white.” When Pat
first saw them, right then she
wanted to go back to the old
school. There were many
days when I wanted to go
back to the other school.
They will see how hard it
was on us. Pat tells how
hard it was on her.
—Sheila Holley, 6th Grade
Honorable Mention
Mark Twain’s The Adven
tures of Tom Sawyer is my
favorite book. I like it be
cause it’s about a boy about
my age. He has good times
and bad times like I do. He
gets into too much trouble,
but is clever enough to get
out each time.
—Bradley Ward, sth Grade
E. B. White’s Stuart Little
is my favorite book. I liked
the book because the author
made a mouse that acted like
a normal person. The mouse
wore clothes, met girls, was
shipwrecked, owned a bird,
and did all these things like
a real boy would do.
—Susan Bass, sth Grade
My Side of the Mountain is
my favorite book. The rea-1
son for my liking this book I
is that the boy in *he story I
is doing the things I’ve al-1
ways wanted to do. This is I
an exciting book. It is lull |
of excitement and thri'ls of I
the outdoors.
