Festival Os Skills, Oct. 9-10
Festivals are very
popular events. There
seems to be a festival for
just about any and every
occasion. Have you ever
heard of a “Festival of
Skills”? Well, you will have
the opportunity to attend
and participate in the fun on
Friday and Saturday, Oc
tober 9 and 10, from 10 A.M.
to 5 P.M., at the Morgan
Furniture Building in
downtown Hertford,
sponsored by Perquimans
County Extension
Homemakers.
Just what is a “festival of
Skills”? According to the
dictionary the definition of
skill is the ability to use
one’s knowledge effectively
and readily in execution or
performance; a learned
power of doing something
competently: a developed
aptitude or ability.
But in my terms - It’s a
two day fair where handy or
gifted people will display
and share their talents,
crafts, trade and-or “know
how”. A lot of individuals
just have a “nack” to make,
create or construct “their
thing” -a speciality item
that’s unique. With so many
competent people who are
experts in performance, the
“Festival of Skills” will give
these individuals the op
portunity to gather under
one roof and offer their

Gone but never forgotten,
That is the way we feel,
For our dearest grandma,
Whose love was always real.
She watched over us always,
When we were very small,
And she kept an eye on us,
Until we grew up tall.
She even lifted our spirits,
When we felt down and blue,
She gave us a great big hug,
And the words I love you.
Even though we were trouble,
She never really cared,
Always she took care of us,
And her love she did share.
Till our last day on earth,
We will remember her,
Because she remembered us.
From the day of our birth.
So, please God take care of her,
While in heaven she waits,
Until we get together,
And meet at heaven’s gates.

Abused Chid Services Improve
Former Gov. Dan K.
Moore, chairman of the
Board of Child Watch, Inc.,
announced the beginning of
a special project designed to
improve North Carolina’s
system of providing in
dependent advocates to
abused and neglected
children involved in judicial
proceedings. The Child
Watch Guardian Ad Litem
(G. A. L.) Project, funded
with a $47,000.00 grant from
the Mary Reynolds Babcock
Foundation in Winston -
Salem, began operations on
June 1 and will be based at
the Raleigh headquarters of
Child Watch, a statewide
child advocacy
organization.
The project is based upon
an in-depth study of the
State’s G. A. L. system
conducted over the past
several years by Samuel M.
Streit, a staff attorney
employed by Child Watch
and a faculty member of the
Bush Institute for Child and
Family Policy at U. N. C.-
Chapel Hill. Streit, who will
direct the G. A. L. Project,
concluded in his tudy that a
great deal of benefit could
be gained by providing
independent advocates to
abused and neglected
children but that the North
Carolina program was not
realizing these benefits

because representation of
children was limited to
licensed attorneys. “A key
principle of the Quid Watch
G. A. L. Project,” Streit
says, “is the use of trained
and supervised volunteers
from the local community to
assist in providing advocacy
to abused and neglected
children.” Child Watch was
successful in promoting a
change of North Carolina
law in the 1981 General
Assembly to permit the
participation of non-lawyers
in the representation of
children involved in juvenile
court abuse or neglect
cases.
The project will include
two basic phases to carry
out its stated objectives.

regarding court advocacy
for children and to stimulate
improvements and com

interested in improving
their local programs

abused and neglected
children.
