Change Made in Name of Station -♦ North Carolina’s 16 test farms, including one in this county, now have new official names. A joint statement was recently released by Dr. R. L. Lovvorn, director of the N. C. Agricultural Experiment Sta tion, and L. Y. Ballentine, com missioner of agriculture, regarding the change. The station between Plymouth and Roper, previously known as Tidewater Test Farm, will hence forth be off.eially known as Tide water Research Station. Likewise, the various other stations in the state will be referred to as research stations but will not lose their identity, names related to location being kept, as for instance, Coastal Plain Research Station, at Willard. J. L. Rea is superintendent of the Tidewater Research Station, which is off US 64 five miles east of Plymouth. The station was established in 1912 at Wenona and was known as the Blackland Test Farm. Fred La tham, of Belhaven, was its first local administrator. Others includ ed Cy Perkins, a Mr. Willis, Dr. H. Bocker and A. S. Cline. Mr. Rea has been in charge since 1923. The station was moved to its present site in 1945, Mr. Rea said. From then until the recent change it was officially known as Tide water Test Farm. The recent change was effected to provide uniformity and prevent confusion, since formerly such sta tions were variously referred to as test farms, tost stations, experi ment stations, etc., Sile Is Approved Here Tuesday for NewHealth Center Three-Man Commiilee Se lects County - Owned Lot On North Side of Old Coun ty Home Building The proposed new Washington County Health Center will be erect ed on the lot reserved for that pur pose when the old county home property was sold by the county recently to J. L. Horner, of Plym outh. The old county home property was sold by the county at a special meeting of the county board of commissioners Monday, June 13. According to terms of the sale, a lot with 100-foot frontage on High way NC 32 was excepted with the view of providing a suitable site for the proposed health center. The site was formally approved Tuesday afternoon of this week by a special committee of three which included Dr. C. C. Applewhite, of Raleigh, director of the Division of Local Health of the State Board of Health; Bruce Jones, of the State ivieuicai care commission, naieign; and Frank L. Brinkley, of Plym outh, chairman of the board of county commissioners. The board previously had voted Brinkley the authority to act on its behalf in all matters pertaining to the new health center. The lot on which the health center is to be built lies north of the county home building and situ ate between that building and the residence of Cecil Craft, sr. The Washington County Health Department is now housed in the south wing of the county home building. The new owner has agreed to rent the space to the county until such time as the new center is ready to be occupied. At the regular March meeting of the county commissioners here a delegation made up of Dr. Apple white; I. A. McCary, of Raleigh, administrative assistant; Dr. E. W. I urgurson, Attorney Z. V. Norman nd District Health Inspector Del . oert Aden, all of Plymouth. appear cu utiuit hiv uuaiu iu uigv uiut the commissioners file an applica tion for federal and state assistance to erect a county health center here. It was brought out then that the present health department quarters were considered inadequate in every respect. Dr. Applewhite also informed the commissioners that sooner or later each county in the state, not al ready having such a center, would erect one. He stated at the time that most counties in this state either already had centers or were in process of building them with aid from state and federal funds. It was added that the square foot SeTcENTERTPage^ -e Crop Prospects Good in County Crop prospects in . Washington County appear good at this time, with an unusually good corn crop in view, according to County Agent W. H. Pruden. However, Mr. Pruden added, there has been too much rainfall for the good of soybeans in some places in the county. A washing rain reportedly fell in the Wenona section Tuesday afternoon of this week, the county agent stated. Also, Pruden said, some areas around Creswell have had too much water. Many farmers are unable to plow because the soil is too wet. “We have not had too much rain up here in the tobacco belt,” the county agent averred. No tobacco is reported having flopped from the more recent rains, although some tobacco did flop from excess moisture after heavy rains several days ago, it was said. There is much dusting and spray ing activity in the county, Mr. Pru dent said, adding that cotton grow ers should make every effort to control the late crop of boll wee vils and save their lint. Postmaster Makes Unusual Report Employees of the Plymouth post office—with their multitude of printed forms in duplicate, tripli cate, etc., to fill out these days— got a chuckle the other day upon reading in a postal magazine about a report submitted by a newly ap pointed postmaster back in 1857, when things were a lot less formal, in the post office as elsewhere. The ancient report is authentic, being an accurate copy from Edi tor’s Drawer in Harper’s Monthly of July, 1881. One Isaiah Johnson, appointed by President James Bu chanan to be postmaster at Sum mon, Fulton County, 111., finding by his “instructions” that he was sup posed to report quarterly, address ed the following communication di rectly to the President, under date of July 9, 1857: “Mr. James Buchanan, President of the United States: “Dear sir: Been required by the instructions of the Post Office to report quarterly, I know heerwith foolfil that pleasin duty by reportin as follows: The harvestin has been goin peerty, and most of the na bors have got their cuttin dun.

I To the right of the street stop sign above can be seen the lot at the corner of Adams and Third Streets here on which the new Washington County Public Library building will be erected. The lot was donated for the purpose by Attorney and Mrs. Z. V. Nor man, of Plymouth. The contract was let Monday of this week to the low bidder, Ambrose Construction Company, of Creswell, for $9,382.38. The structure will front on Third Street. It is expected that work will commence right away.—Staff photo. Board Approves Library Contract Contract Goes To Ambrose Construction Company, of Creswell, at Low Bid of $9,382.38; Road Petitions The county commissioners, in regular monthly session here Mon day of this week, voted to accept the bid of Ambrose Construction Company, of Creswell, for erection of a new building to house the Washington County Public Library. Other matters acted upon at the meeting, postponed a week from the usual meeting time because of the Independence Day holiday, in cluded hearing of routine reports, acceptance of two road improve ment petitions to be forwarded to the highway department and a few other matters of a mir ,r nature. Sealed ads for i instruction of the new library building were opened and it was found that the Creswell construction firm was the low bidder at $9,382.38, as against a bid of $9,567 submitted by L. L. Owens, of Plymouth. The Owens bid was rejected and upon motion of Commis sioner J. C. Knowles, of Roper, seconded by Commissioner Hubert L. Davenport, of Skinnersville, it was voted to accept the bid of Am brose Construction Company. The plans, specifications, etc., are to be signed by the contractors and by Frank L. Brinkley, chair man of the board of county com missioners. It is understood that the contractor will begin construc tion immediately. The library building will be erected on a lot at the corner of Adams and Third Streets donated for the purpose by Attorney and Mrs. Z. V. Norman, of Plymouth. Earlier this year the commissioners allocated $10,000 from county funds with which to build the new struct ure. The library is now housed in crowded quarters on the second floor of the county courthouse and adjoining the courtroom. There is no reading room and it has also been pointed out by advocates for a library building that a library located on the ground floor would be more convenient to patrons. Cir culation of books, including the county bookmobile, which has reg ularly scheduled runs three days each week, and branches, has in creased rapidly in recent years. The new building will front on| rhird Street. Proponents say that Ihe location should prove ideal. There will be an adequate reading room and considerably more space will be available for the display of books. Plans were drawn by Harry Hullman, who donated his serv ices. Other matters transacted Monday by the county board: E. J. Spruill, county tax collect or, reported the sum of $2,240.58 See LIBRARY, Page 5 New TV Set Gift To John Darden .. .i The generosity of Plymouth and Washington County people has been well illustrated again. Thursday of last week a new tele vision set was installed at the residence on Washington Street here for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Darden and others of the household. Mr. Darden, county historian who has served his county in so many capacities including county Red Cross chairman, county sup erindendent of schools, judge of recorder’s court, representative in the G. .eral Assembly of North Caro»ina, has been incapacitated for the past eight years.
