"A 'migrant' from Virginia to Per quimans County to teach in the pub lic schools, I melt any fate here and to gether with my faithful merchant-hus-! band, L. J. Winslow, have spent the many years in the store and post of fice, domiciled in a goodly portion of the store. "As the saying goes, There's some thing warm and good albout a village store, something that stands for friendliness, and a lot more. How the neighborly talk spins out like a rav eled yarn, in tales of garden, flowers, pigs, or a new built barn. "So it is with life in a small posit office. You are nearer the people than in a large otffSce; you know their problems, as they usually stop and talk with you, and its a real pleasure to meet people. life is never' dull, even if you do have to open the office at 10 P. M.,. to "please see if my check has ceme.V For many yeans I have enjoyed active membership in the National Association of Postmasters, having attended national, stalte and district conventions. The convention which will, perhaps, linger longest in my memory, will be the 'Four-an-One' which is held in Washington, D. C. Supervisory officials, rural letter car riers, first and second class, third and fourth class postmasters, met in one gathering and during the convention were honored at a White House reten tion of the thirteen P. M.'s. So far o one has served as long as the pres ent one. "It has not always been the policy of the Department te welcome women into, the service. However, records show that Mrs. Sarah DeOrow, who wag appointed on September 27, 1792, at Hertford, was the first woman Ito be appointed to the position as post master, after the adoption of the Con stitution. Since that time malty have filled the position with honor and dis tinction.

He pointed but to mem bers of the denomination that Cho wan College is not a state school and has no endowment, so its support must come from churches-and friends. Many churches are. jrivinir to the college through the iollar-per.memfoer plan, which is "living endowment through the churches. ' Another plan is to find 200 alumni and friends who will give $100 per year, which is call ed "living endowment by friends." Churches in the Chowan and West Chowan Associations are requested to put in their budgets $1.00 per register ered member for thevyear which will go to help operate the college. Mr. Sasser pointed out that the Bap tist Board of Education of North Car olina, allocated $10,000 for 1950-51 upon condition that the churches raise a like amount from special offerings. He is hoping that not only Baptists but friends of other denominations, some of whom have already contribut ed liberally, will rally to the appeal for funds so that the college can be properly operated. CLUB MEETS The Whiteston Home Demonstration Club met January 25 with Mrs. Rus sell Baker. The meeting began by sineine "It's a Good Time to Get To gether."
