Attending the meeting from Northampton County were Marvin E. Coleman, County Supervisor, Leon R. Whichard, Jr., Assistant County Supervisor, Jean R. Podruchny, Assistant County Office Clerk.

Johnson said that Farmers Home Administration in North Carolina had the best overall program in the Nation. He cited several “firsts” for the State FHA, such as having the first solid waste disposal project in the nation, being first in total number of solid waste projects and having the largest dollar volume for rural housing loans of any state in the nation. Compared to the agency’s program over the last three years and Johsnon said that in 1969, FHA loaned 65 million dollars in North Carolina. In 1970, it increased to 81 million dollars.

It is a gleaming, brilliant scarlet and compounds this asset with a beautifully classic shape of bud and flower and as an extra bonus, adds a delightful, light, spicy fragrance. This variety comes from a long line of famous ancestors whose outstanding qualities . . . hey Civic Clubs! GET YOUR SUPPLY OF TURKEY SHOOT TARGETS NOW!

This year’s programs are projected to exceed 180 million dollars or triple that of three years ago. These services have provided thousands of North Carolinians decent homes, improved rural communities by providing central water and sewer systems and assisting rural areas in cleaning up the countryside by providing county-wide waste disposal systems of some 50 North Carolina Counties. In addition, thousands of farmers received financial assistance for real estate and operating type loans in a farm loan program that doubled over the three-year period.

Neighborhood residents 18 years of age and older are seem to have combined to create this intensely glowing variety. In fact, Gypsy has an ancestry of six All-America winners and is the first hybrid tea, in the red shades, to win an AARS award since Mr. Lincoln In 1965. The pollen parent was Comanche from which it inherits its strong growth and the orange infusion intensifying its scarlet coloration. The plant is described as being broad, compact and sturdy. The long stems support a constant supply of large, five-inch, fully double, fiery scarlet blooms. Medallion is a distinctive winner and is reported to have “the largest blooms” of any NEARLY ONE HALF of the student body at Willis Hare and Eastside Schools take part in the Breakfast Program.

He also stated that the irrigation test of chemical solution or chemicai spray test using about 10 different kinds of fungicides failed to produce any appreciable control effect against the disease. Such being the situation in Japan, I regret to be not able to provide you with any suggestion available for the purpose of controlling the severe occurrence of the disease in the peanut belt of North Carolina. 1 may add that during his visit to Japan the year before last. Dr. Gallen from U.S.D.A. inspected the cultivation condition of peanut in this country and Mr. Misono explained to him about black root rot of peanut in Japan. Lastry hoping that the above will be found of some use to you. Yours faithfully, S. Yoshimura eligible to nominate and vote. However, CADA board members elected must be at least 21 years old. CADA employees are not eligible to nominate candidates or to vote in the election. Composition of the CADA Board of Directors is one-third representatives of the poor, one-third public officials and one-third representatives of the private sector. The November 14 nomination meetings and November 28 elections are concerned only with selection of electors to choose the one-third representation of the poor. Board members from the other two groups will be appointed by those groups. All newly elected directors will take office in January. Many a marriage has gone on the rocks because of conflict of interests. variety ever to receive an AARS award. With seven to eight inch blossoms, it equals or exceeds in size flowers of Peace, South Seas and First Prize. The fragrance is mild, . fruity^ and pleasing, making all three of the 1973 Winners fragrant — an asset that will be welcomed by rose lovers everywhere. The huge blooms are formed by up to 35 petals of apricot pink or buff. The color is very delicate and will vary in intensity with the seasons and geographical location in which grown. The plant of Medallion is very vigorous, attaining a height of from four to six feet, depending upon the area in which grown, and the management plan. It is well branched, producing many 12 to 18 inch stems ideal for cutting. As many as 45 roses have been counted on an individual plant at one time. The light green foliage is dense, attractive and has good disease resistance. The parents of Medallion are South Seas x King’s Ransom. No doubt the huge flower size comes from South Seas and the underlying golden sheen of the bloom is inherited from King’s Ransom. If you wish to try these 1973 winners, let me know and I will send you the address of a source of supply; if you cannot obtain plants from local suppliers.
