(Staff photo by Debbie Collins) Animal fundraiser a big success BY SEAN JACKSON Staff Writer A total of 13 animals were adopted at Saturday’s Adopt-a Beanie Baby event at Rocky Hock Community Building, and organizers are calling the event a true success. “I would like to thank all the volunteers who helped us, the neighbors who donated baked goods, and all the local busi nesses, vendors arid ticket buy ers who helped us out this week end,” said Linda McClenney.

Shelter, and was sponsored by the Chowan-Gates chapter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). Approximately $1,000 was raised for the animal shelter. “Special thanks goes to those people that adopted pets that otherwise might not have been so fortunate,” said McClenney. The adoption total was more than anticipated, McClenney said. “But there are still some beautiful puppies and kittens that need homes,” she said. Hopes are to hold an annual adopt-a-pet fundraiser, she said, with the second event possibly coming as soon as next spring - when many animals have just had litters. “We’ll have time to do more planning for next year’s event,” she said. In addition, the shelter needs adult volunteers to work for approximately two hours on Saturdays, said McClenney. Those volunteers would assist with adoption services.

Born in Brit ish Guyana, South America, in February 1887, Griffith trav eled to America in 1905 with the hope of studying medicine. He would, however, study the ology - at his family’s request - in Petersburg, VA, New York City, and at Shaw University in Raleigh. Griffith would later enroll in Boston Medical Col lege with the hope of becoming a medical missionary in Africa. But Griffith came to Edenton in 1920 to earn money to con tinue his medical training. And it was here that the Episcopal minister would spend the rest of his life as a teacher, princi pal, civic leader, church worker and community activ ist. He took part in efforts to build the first high school in Chowan County for black stu dents, Edenton-Grady School, now the site of D.F. Walker Elementary School - just a few blocks down Oakum Street from Griffith Park. He was a minister in Chowan for 61 years, and served as principal and teacher at St. John’s Episcopal School for 30 years. As testament to the adage that people are only as old as they feel, Griffith taught him self shorthand at the age of 93. Griffith Park currently is the home of a set of basketball courts, swings and monkey bars, and, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 p.m., contin ues to provide activities for some of Edenton’s younger citizens.

DOWNUM, JR. - OPTOMETRIST - BABY LEARNS TO SEE Babies can see almost at birth, but it takes a while for them to learn how to do it right. At first, a baby may use one eye at a time — or both, each look ing at a different object. It may be a month before the infant is able to direct both eyes at the same object. At first they focus on objects that are close, actually moving the head to follow movement. Eventually, the child learns to move the eyes as a team in stead of moving the head. By a year, binocular vision should be pretty well established; nei ther eye should be wandering in, out, up or down by itself. To exercise those new eye muscles, many parents provide a mobile above a crib, or soft toys that baby can reach for. Every time you bring the baby to another room, or outdoors, you provide it with more to look at. If either eye seems to wander after a year, see your eye pro fessional promptly. Early treatment is most effective. brought to you as a community service by: Dr. A.F. Downum 103 W. Eden Street Edenton, N.C. 482-3218 We have just the Gift you’ve been waiting for...
