I THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1970 I % f I y&M M I B. Jack Padgett Padgett Is Named Branch Manager RICHLANDS B. Jack Padgett has been named manager of the recently opened office of First National Bank of Eastern North Carolina in Richlands, it was announced at the bank’s central of fice in Jacksonville. J. Hugh Rich, president of the SIOO - system which now has 33 branch es across the state, said Padgett is being Edenton where he serv ed as assistant manager. In addition to his service with First National in Edenton, the Jacksonville native also has held executive posts,with First National offices in Mount Olive and Wallace. “Jack is one of the finest young bank ers in our entire system,” the president emphasized in his announcement. “We know that First National’s full potential in Richlands can be successfully piloted by Jack and the other First National people who will be helpng him serve people in the Richlands area.” Padgett joined First National as an assistant cashier in 1966 and now holds the system-wide title of assistant vice president. He attended N. C. State at Raleigh, is a graduate of Campbell Col lege, and also has completed special eourses in principles of banking and commercial law sponsored by the Ameri can Institute of Banking. Pre-School Class A year-round Head Start program will operate in Chowan and six other North eastern North Carolina counties begin ning June 1. The program will be sponsored by Economic Improvement Council, Inc., in Chowan, Dare, Gates, Hyde, Pasquo tank, Perquimans and Washington coun ties. There will be 240 children in the program with 30 in Chowan. W. G. Pierce, deputy director, said classes will start June IS. Children three, four and five years of age will be included and those whose mothers seek employment in the community will have priority. Pierce said EIC is working with Supt. Bill Britt of Edenton-Chowan Schools on the program in an effort to fit it into a kindergarten program already started. There will be two classes here, proba bly at Walker School, and each rla«« will have a teacher and an aide. This program is being funded at a level of $384,647, on a full-day basis. Its major objective will be to provide new and exploratory experiences for the children of working mothers, Pierce stated. JAYCEES LAUNCH (MtandltamnitOM inunity and continue to do so,” Amburn said. “They are always at the head of the line offering assistance to any worth while cause add this is a time when peo ple. in the community can show their appreciation by aiding them in their ftirtds effort.” IHfif- - .;i,.. - ■> m Busf 9 Two brief but interesting viators in The Herald office Wednesday morning were Mr. and Mrs. Horton Corwin of Richmond, Va., who are spending this week in Eden ton visiting friends and looking the town over. Mr. Corwin is a former Edentonian, but left here in 1916. He was employed at the Branning Manufacturing Company. (By far more present Edentonians know any thing about that concern than do). Any way, they paid the Missus a very pleasant visit for they are avid readers of her column and besides both of them under went the same ordeal as Kate is now fighting. It was very pleasant talking to this couple, and Mr. Corwin freely admitted that liiere's a dickens of a lot of changes in. the old town than it was when he lived here. o Here’s notice to Edenton Rotarians that the' Rotary Club will not meet today (Thursday). The reason: James Bond had planned for the Rotarians to make a trip to Surry, Va., to tour the Virginia Electric & Power Company’s new plant there. How ever, not enough Rotarians were able to go, so that the trip was cancelled and to day’s meeting also called off. But Friend Bond says he hopes to reschedule the Surry trip at a later date. o—- ■ 1 know of two more very proud Edenton grandmothers. They are Mrs. J. W. ’ Davis and Mrs. Worth Hare. Mrs. Davis is proud of her grandson, William Blount Rodman Davis of New Bern, who has been awarded an International Schoolboy Fellowship by the English-Speaking Union of the United States and will enter Tonbridge School at Tonbridge, Kent, England, in September. Then Mrs. Worth Hare this week received a cablegram from Patiala, India, to the ef fect that her daughter, the former Gail Carolyn Hare, gave birth to a 5%-pound daughter Friday, May 22. She is the wife of the Rajah Rani Shivdevinder Singh. She was all smiles as she handed over a very good cigar, although it was not an Indian cigar. Living with a grandmother, I have some idea how proud Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Hare are, and here’s congratulating both of ’em. Maybe Jimmy Oglesby and Eastern Star ladies worked a little too hard for their chicken salad dinner Friday. In fact, it was so much a success that it was em barrassing to the ladies, who prepared an enormous amount of the chicken salad and other things that go with it. But the word must have gotten around, so that many people celled for plates who had not purchased tickets, so that the ladies figured wrong in preparing enough. It was em barrassing for the ladies to refund some of the money for tickets, for the chicken salad plumb gave out and it was too late to cook more chickens and mix up another batch. However, from what I hear, those who were served were very well pleased with the plate. o From the Bufflap Sick Room: Still some good days—but bad days are far in the majority. However, one of the good days was one day last week—so good that she went fishing for about an hour. To add to the “good” part of the day was the fact that she caught several very nice speckled perch—a very good “tonic” if you ask me. ° Want to spend an enjoyable evening to night (Thursday)? Well, go out to the wm A Holmes High School auditorium. At 8 o’clock the Holmes Band will present its annual spring concert. Both Director Stuart Patten and members of the band have been working hard for this event and they would like to play to a crowded house. Here’s one who thinks any who miss this concert will lose out on a treat. Oh, yes, there’s no charge to listen to this fine music. Activity Is Brisk Activities continued at a brisk pace during April at the Edenton Office of Employment Security according to Neil E. THagard, office manager. Unemployment insurance in the area is high , for the time of year due to wet wteather and to cut-back in employment in certain area industries. The most apparent cause of these reductions is the high interest rates affecting employers making finished products and also caus ing construction to slow down. Also affecting the unemployment rate in the area is that most seasonal work at local processing plants has been finished. These workers usually move on to farm work but the heavy rains have delayed many* farm activities. Even with these situations existing the Edenton office was able to place 106 persons in gainful employment during April. The office also processed 140 new applications for employment and referred 164 persons to employers. The month of May has been pro claimed Senior Citizens Month by Gov. Bob Scott and all employers in the area are asked to cooperate in hiring older workers. Schools will also be ending their year in the near future and summer work is needed by many of the students. Any employer who can provide work for some of our youth during the summer months please contact your local Em ployment Security office, Thagard says. Continued from Pag* One colonial Edenton. For Hines, this was the second time he had installed lights along Edenton’s main drag. It was in 1928 when the oth , er lights were put into service. At that time the superintendent was working for a private contractor which did the work The new lights not only lode bettfer but do a much finer job of lighting the street. As for the did lights. They are being put on the block. There are approxi mately 50 of them to be sold and Hines has the details. By the way, the new ones -weren’t gratis. The tab was In the neighbor hood of $20,000. Needy Assisted. More needy families in Northeastern j North Carolina are benefitting from | U. S. Department of Agriculture food I assistance programs, with latest reports■ showing that 11,883 persons got such i help in March. While there was a 2 per cent increase in participation over the February fig ures across the state, those benefitting from food stamps in Chowan County decreased. In March there were 699 persons receiving such aid while in Feb ruary the figure was 830. Chowan and Dare are the only two counties in the area participating in the food stamp program. The other eight counties in the Albemarle Area distribut ed donated foods. Gates County in March had 1,144 persons benefitting from donated foods while Perquimans County had 1,212 in the same program. Interim Minister Rev. Percy B. Upchurch of William ston has been called by the Edenton Baptist Church as interim pastor and will assume his duties with the church on Sunday. Mr. Upchurch recently retired from the active pastorate after serving the Memorial Baptist Church in Greenville for 15 years. Over a span of 35 years he has served churches in Monroe, N. C. and Mullins, S. C., having just recently closed his last pastorate in Greenville. His background also includes a three year period of service as Chaplain in the U. S. Navy. The church has called Mr. Upchurch to serve until a permanent pastor is call ed. He plans to spend three days on the field and he will be very convenient to the congregation for emergency needs being only 30 miles away. As usual, the morning service will be broadcast over WCDJ for the benefit of those unable to attend and the super vised church nursery will be available to those with small children.

Harrell and graduates from Bertie Senior High School. He will at tend N. C. State University where he will study Aero-space engineering.
