Proposed Changes To
Receive Further Con-
sideration
No action was taken by Hertford
Town Board, meeting here in regular
session iasi monaay nignt, in regaros
- ' i i . r i t i 1
to a change in the garbage collection
service but the matter was taken un
der advisement for further considera
tion by the board members. . -
A delegation, opposing any change
in the service, appeared before the
board and presented a petition sign
ed by more than 140 residents of the
town.- The petition requested no
change be made in the service as how
rendered if the changes required trash
and garbage to be collected from
curbs of the streets of the town.
. Speaking in behalf of the delega
tion, Mrs. J. E. White told the board
the group desired no changes in the
system, if it meant higher taxes and
worked a hardship on many of the
residents of the town. Other members
of the delegation who spoke were Mr.
and Mrs. R. M. Riddick, Jr., Mrs. T.
S. White, Mrs. Matt Mathews and
Mrs. W. O. Hunter.
Mrs. Hunter and Mrs. Mathews ad
vised the board that they were not
receiving the same service as given
in other parte of the town, and com
plained of this difference in service
rendered.
In connection with this complaint
Mayor, Darden told the group that
any resident, desiring trash and gar
bage picked up from his or her yard
will receive this service upon making
a reauest at the town office,
, Commissioner Henry Sullivan told
the delegation he first, proposed a
change in the system in order to pro
vide a more efficient and a more sani
tary service than now being offered
but if h was the desire of the resi
dents of the town to keep the pres
ent system he was willing to abide by
those desires. . . t ,
Commissioner Ray ' White then
pointed out that tf. jjl' residents were
to receive equa! service the present
system will requhi purchase of ad
ditional horses iaadwcarts to . .provide
this, service.' -w K T f'v

discussion on the proposafrand Com
missioner Robert Hollowell stated he
had investigated ' garbage collection
service- in several towns and found
all these towns using mechanized
equipment but providing the same
service now ; given here, ; with men
on the truck picking up garbage and
trash from the yards of the homes,
thus keeping the towns as attractive
as possible wi snout iraan cans eewg
placed on the- streets. :
' It was" the opinion of the Board
members that some misunderstanding
over, the proposed change developed
among residents ' of the town inas
much as no definite action had been
taken regarding any change in the
service as nowofiered. inere naa
been some discussion of changes but
these were merely proposed suggest
ions and not definite actions. .
The Board airreed to continue the
study of a change in the system
from the standpoint of using mecn
anized machinery instead of the
horses and. carts, but at the same
time retaining collection services as
now in effect. '

radios, television sets and related
fields, special agents of the OPS En

In outlying areas, calls by special
agents will be coordinated with the
services of business analysts from tne
Price section, who are instructed to
give help and information. This ad
ditional effort is being made m areas
where the availability of technical
assistance has been limited, and where
it was felt there had been an inade

The survey is to check on the ac
tual filing of charts, and not for
technical errors on the part of retail

mately 2,600 price charts have been
filed with the OPS in Raleigh. At the
conclusion of the survey, OPS will
have a record of compliance for each
retail establishment in the district,
Latham noted. ,
"No other OPS regulation affects

State Aid Measure
Winfall Allocated $1,095
From Same
Source
The Town of Hertford will receive
$5,324 for local street work under
the provisions of the Powell Bill, ac
cording to ' a State Highway Com
mission report released this week by
Mayor V. N. Darden. The Town of
Winfall, under the same program will
receive $1,095. The announcement re
porting the allocations ..to cities and
towns was made by Dr. Henry W.
Jordan, chairman of the State High
way Commission.
The allocations are based under the
law, on 1950 population figures and
the number of miles of town streets
not on the state or county highway
system.
Figures, as released by the state
commission, show ihe 1950 population
for Hertford was 2,096. Total street
mileage is 4.98. For Winfall the fig
ures were population 421 and total
street mileage 1.06.
The allocation, made to each town,
was based on the payment of $435 for
each street mile, and approximately
$1.61 per capita of the 1950 popula
tion. Under the provisions of the Powell
Bill, the state commission assumed
the maintenance of streets on the state
and county highway system, and this
eliminates the upkeep, on the part of
the town, of Church Street, DobV
Street, from Church to Edenton Road
Street, Grubb Street, from Church
to the town limits, and Edenton Road
Street from Dobb to the town limits.
No commitments have been made as
to improvement of local streets, but
it is believed that the Commissioners
for the Town of Hertford will incor
porate the Powell Bill funds into the
regular street department fund and
continue the present program for
street improvement within the town.
Relief from the upkeep of streets on
state and county system 'will permit t
the town to reduce its street bud
get, or provide additional improve
ments if the present budget is main
tained. A report from the Town of
Winfall stated that Commissioners
for the improvement of the streets of
Winfall. The report says three streets'
within the town are to be hard sur
faced within the next year.
Recreation Plays
Big Role In Club
WorU-H Boy Says
Recreation is an important phase
of club work, according to Bobby
Smith, Perquimans 4-H Club leader,
who today released the following ar
ticle on the subject:
"Every club must have some form
of recreation if it is to succeed and
grow, and club members should rea
lize there is a recreation to fit every
club and every need, whether the club
be of youth or adurt membership.
During the past 20 years we have
seen recreation grow to be a per-i
manent part of all clubs, and this has
played a vital role in the growth of
clubs. The type of recreation selected
for club use should fit the club needs
and it should be remembered' that
there are six types of recreation,
which are: (1) social recreation; (2)
home and community recreation; (3)
music and drama; (4) arts and crafts;
(5) sports and outdoor recreation;
and (6) nature and folklore.
"Now let's look at the application of
these types of recreation to clubs.
Take a club of youthful membership,
numbering from 10 to 50. Recreation
for this group should be something
peppy and exciting. Types one, five
and six most likely fill the needs for
this club while for an adult club items
two, three and four most likely will
provide the needs of adult clubs.
"Club leaders should also remem
ber that recreation is anything done
for its own sake, it ceases to be rec
reation when it loses its voluntary
nature. If youths and adults, who
take part in a recreational program
are imbued with the spirit of fair
play, and a desire to share freely
with others, their fun, ideas and
skill, that program can be considered
successful. So lefs join together
and make each club year completely
successful through recreational de
velopment" MASONS MEET TUESDAY
