Photographic records will be made of their finds, and through comparative study and analysis of these materials, the museum hopes to promote publication and further sdg#riy research in the field of Southern decorative arts. Qther r f&search ‘teams are working fin the Norfolk-Suffolk area and in Kentucky. The Museum of Early Southern tDporative Arts is Ideated in the historic Old Salem area of Winston-Salem . In IS period rooms,, four galleries and an exhibit hall, it exhibits the decorative arts of VirMma, the F ■ Albemarle Metro, the then SJsted* with justifiable pride of the small independents accomplishments. At a particular meeting he had talked about the system and what it would do to further,benefit the subscribers and open up our vast area to more of the outside world. We couldn’t help but rise to ask the question:“But how do you get Welch”. In his crafty manner he did not let it deter his presentation but later he told ul in no uncertain terms not only how to get Welch but where to go. Seriously, the Albemarle Arda lost one of its finest, most progressive and most concerned senior citizens this week in the death of Lemuel Showed Blades, Jr. His obituary could read like a history of a progressive community spanning nearly 70 years. He was a proud man, proud of his wife, two children and seven grandchildren, he was proud of his telephone company, his profession, his church, and his community. >' There has actually little of importance happened in the Albemarle that doesn’t bear Mr. Metro’s fingerprints. Lem Blades was a man for all times. And you can’t say that about many people anymore. The community has profited from his life and will suffer as a result of his death. We are sure that his transmission has now . far exceeded Welch. Returning ‘ Home ’ We want to be among the first to welcome D. W. Patrick, highway division engineer, back to Northeastern North Carolina. We don’t know what he learned in the few months he was in the Pay4ti£Vilue but he couldn’t have forgotten so much about the Albemarle that he has lost any effectiveness. Mr. Patrick was the victim of a mass “promotion and transfer” program within the N.C. Department of Transportation shortly after Sec. Bruce Lentz moved his GOP hiarchy into the DOT ivory tower. E. J. Butler, an assistant engineer in the Winston-Salem area, replaced Mr. Patrick in the Ahoskie district and before he could find his way from Old Trap to Cisco he is involved in the musical chairs routine which sent him to replace Mr. Patrick, etc. Mr. Butler didn’t make any great waves during his tenure along the Public Parade. He (fid impress most of those with whom he came in contact that he was knowledgeable of transportation matters and had the best interest of both his department and the people at heart. In his usual non-political way, Mr. Patrick’s statement about the newest switch was familiar. “I am loekhtg forward to returning to an area where I harts worked before,’ ’ he said. “Even though I have been away for a short time, I have benefited frqm the change of duty station, and I hope that the Continued on Page 4 THE CHOWAN HERALD " I ■ Vol*de Xk~No » JWai m A Jk m f .

Water System Is Given Grant Plans for financing a $2.6- million regional water system for .Chowan County received a boost /last week with official announcement of a $250,000 T ransport ation The N. C. Department of Transportation has expressed a willingness to put together a demonstration project for a rural transportation in the 10-county Albemarle Area. This was expressed here last Thursday by two members of the DOT’S Mass Transportation Division. with utttrirw “ssea- toh ey from the individual counties, the project could ultimately provide low-cost transportation for residents of every sector of Region R. It was anticipated that between three and five demonstration projects will be devised across the state, with emphasis being in the rural areas where little if any commercial transportation is available. It was strongly emphasized that the plan would compliment the commercials rather than be in competition. “We want to serve the unserved who need the availability of regular transportation the most,” a spokesman said. Activity buses now being used in the area by educational and health .service organizations should be used as “in-kind” matching funds for the demonstration project. Meeting with representatives of boards of commissioners were John Collura, transportation planner, and Dave Robinson, division director. There were some expressions of support from the elected officials but no action was taken. Jim Lewis, executive director, Albemarle Human Resources Development System, said; “But there is no doubt about our committment to it,.” (the transportation program)., “A regional-wide bus system here is a real possibility,” Lewis added.

Phillips, chairman, Chowan County commissioners, announced the grant at a regional meeting at Nags Head after he had been notified by Jack Hawke, federal co-chairman for CPRC. “This gives our program a tremendous boost and now pushes our state and federal grant total to nearly $700,000,” Phillips said later. He also noted that the county still expects to receive a “substantial” grant from the State Clean Water Bond funds. At 4 meeting of Chowan County Planning Board Tuesday night it was reported that 1,000 have already designated interest in obtaining water. These homes are now being {dotted on a county map for the engineers to conduct their study. t The possibility of getting over the quota of 1,250 signed up is almost assured, a spokesman said. However, the planning board encourages workers who have not completed their contacts to do so immediately and turn in- the names of those signed up. Volunteers are now working throughout the county getting interested people to express themselves. One spokesman for the group said be had never seen such widespread support for any project in Chowan bounty as the county-wide water iyktem.
