Administrator Gardner in formed the Council that he had written a letter to the HALLOWEEN LEGEND By MARY LIZZIE LANE The old witch has dragged out nor pot, She’s getting ready to make a Halloween stew. Yes, she has got it all plotted out, To feed it to me and you. The old pot is sooty as it can be, It's almost as black as tar. I wonder where she will get the wood To start her Halloween fire? The legs of the pot are so short, And the middle is great big. Now watch the ugly old witch When she dances'her Halloween jig. The old witch straddles her broom stick, And mumbles when passing through the air. Her nose is long and her chin is sharp, She’s the ugliest witch that’s been seen anywhere. She has a black cat hid in her meadow, His fur is shiny, his eyes-arc green. When he comes out we know for certain The oid witch is.-fixing for Halloween. When the witch passes through on her broom stick She calls out to the goblins, it’s a foul. Yes, she’s trying to get in touch With the big black cat and the owl. Now the witch is a little angry, She whirls around on her heel. Then she calls all hi vhlins together. Yes, a pumpkin now we must steal. The witch was getting somewhat nervous, Her voice was a little gruff. She yelled come on here goblins, I am tired of all this stuff. This is just an old legend That has been handed down. We must ail try to face Halloween , Without even making a frown, necessities if you want to...just the basic shell home, completely finished outside. unfinished inside.. .and then finish the rest yourself. Just imagine how much money this would cut from your finished cost...if you did all of the inside. But, it's not necessary for you to do this much. Do as much as you want to. Do a little or a lot. It's up to you. We’ll stop at almost ant stage of inside completion that you tell us to. The point is, whatever you can do will save you money. Bui, doing some of the work yourself isn't the only way you'll save money when Jim Waller builds for you. A comparison will prove the cost of our homes is low for whatever you buy. over 20 £ourccxifrhomes MMMSSMF MORTGAGE FINANCING to qualified proparty owners THE CHOWAN HERALD chief engineer of Norfolk Southern Railway Company, expressing dissatisfaction with the condition of the railroad crossings in the corporate limits and requesting, the Railway Company to immedi ately proceed to make proper repairs to these crossings.

School Bus Operation Continued from Page 1 aged bus drivers across the state, North Carolina has been exempted each year since 1967 from the U. S. Labor Department’s order prohibit ing the employment of 16 and 17 year old bus drivers. Within our school system certain teachers are assigned extra duties of checking on bus drivers, insuring busses arrive and depart each school on time and Checking any problems which may occur on busses. North Carolina’s local school systems are more for tunate than those in some other states when it comes to getting the most for their money in buying school busses. The law requires that local units purchase busses through the state’s Division of Purchase and con tract since school systems buying in quantity as a unit can get a better deal from the bus manufacturers.

The state buys replacement busses with state funds and replaces those orig inal busses when they are worn out and discarded. The average school bus in the Edenton-Chowan System is used 10 to 12 years before it is replaced. Funds for the operation of school transportation are al lotted to the Edenton-Chowan Schools by the state. Then resources are provided to us on a formula basis.
