Payne of ai; unce t!,e birth of a f i CLy tsm Scptem- Church St Project Carolina, Friday, October Pfiot Prefers MtatMsyAt Agriculture Cubing Details Of New Organi zation To Be Dis cussed By Director Peanut producers in " North Caro lina and Virginia are making plans to establish a Peanut Growers Coopera tive Marketing Association, Inc. This organization will be similar to the Tobacco Stabilization Cooperative which has meant much to tobacco producers in North Carolina. In this instance producers- acting together found it advisable to engage in the first step of processing, namely re- drying tobacco in 'order to stabilize the . market and protect themselves. They have been highly successful. There is no reason this association will not do basically the same five jobs for peanut producers. The an swer rests with producers. The purpose of the new peanut marketing association is to assist in making price support effective, stabi lize the market, serve as a vehicle by which producers can make nosi- ive cntr"utMns toward solving and improving their marketing conditions and be in a less vulnerable position in the event price support is reduced or discontinued. The 1953 peanut price support program says: Farm Farm Storage and warehouse loans will be available to individual pro ducers and cooperatives desiring to handle, store and market peanuts for its producer members will be eligible ior.-c. U U loans." A few growers will, but not many have farm stor age. The Association will provide storage warehouses. The association plans to clean, shell and sell a percent (depending upon conditions) of its members' "peanuts to end users and sell a percent as larmers stock peanuts to other mill ers. How will the marketing association be financed? This question and manv otners will e answered by Bill Rawl ings, temporary director from Cap ronr .Virginia, at the Agriculture BuUahj October 6 - P.- M. Ralph Sasser, Assistant County Agent encourages every peanut producer in Perquimans County who has an in terest in stabilizing the market and ii.an.niK me unce support; more ei- fective to attend this meeting. laycees-Firemen Plan Observance Members of the Hertford Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Hert ford Fire Department will conduct ob servance of Fire Prevention Week here October 5 through the 10th, it was announced, today.

OnRoadEntrances Highway Chairman A. H. Graham today called on all property owners who plan to build service stations, drive-ins, motels arid other commer cial establishments adjoining State highways to first familiarize them selves with the Commission's regula tions on driveway entrances to high ways. He said some' misunderstanding had existed in the past and that some property owners were not aware of the Commission's entrance regulations. As a safety measure and to-protect the motorist, the Commission adopt ed in 1951 minimum standards for entrances to highways. The Com mission's 20-page booklet, "Minimum Standards for Entrances to High ways" is available upon request from Robert Burch, Traffic Engineer, State Highway Commission, Raleigh, and from any of the Commission's high way offices throughout the State. The booklet clearly : states the Commis sion's requirements for entrance! from service or commercial business es to the highway. Inside the book let are eleven easily-understood sketches' dealing with the ((roper loca tion of service stations or commercial establishments adjoining a main-line highway. Graham explained that any property-owner desiring to construct- a driveway or driveways connecting with any State highway must first secure and fill out an application for a driveway permit. These application forms can be secured from the State Highway Maintenance Supervisors who are located in each county, or from Resident Engineers, or from District or Division highway offices. An application for a driveway permit must be submitted to the District En gineer forJuswrittenapproval. BPl'Cln!)

Election Board Completes Arrangements Property Owners Urged To Check Rule New Officers At Meeting Last Friday IICLY 5 Cents Per Copy, Bond Issue Saturday I Polls To Be Open From 6:30 A. M To 6:30 P.M.; Voters Urged To Turn Out All arrangements for the special election to be held tomorrow to de termine bond issues for schools and mental hospitals have been completed for Perquimans County according to R. C. Murray, chairman of the Per quimans Board of Elections. Mr. Murray stated the polls will be open from 6tS0 A. M., until 6:30 P. M., for voters to cast their ballots on the questions. . Registrars at the various polling precincts will be as follows: Bethel, William Stallings; Hertford, Mrs. B. G. Koonce; Parkville, Harry Barber; New Hope, Mrs. W. E. Dail; Belvi dere, J. M. Copeland, and Nicanor, R. M. Baker. While little interest has been mani fested, locally, in the election, nearly every civic organization in the coun ty has gone on record approving' adoption of the proposals, and it is expected the bond issues will pass in Perquimans County. In connection with questions raised concerning repayment of the bonds, in the event the proposals are adopt ed and the bonds are issued, Brandon Hodges, State Treasurer, and now co- chairman of the bond campaign, states the matter does not involve a new tax, tne repayment of the bonds will be absorbed in the State General Fund and will be retired over a period of 20 years. "Total debt service required for the two issues would amount to approxi mately 2 per cent of current Gen eral Fund revenue," he said. "In view of the-relatively small amount neces sary to repay both principal and in terest, new taxes will not be required for this program." "The Bond Acts adopted bv the General Assembly of 1953, authoriz ing the issuance of the bonds if ap proved by Special election October 3, provides that the bonds shall be is sued in a serial form and the principal shall be repaid-over a period of 20 years," he continued. "In the case of the $22,000,000 is sue for mental hospitals, careful cal culations have been made and it is estimated that the annual appropria tion necessary to repay principal and interest will be approximately 81,400, 000 from the General Fund. "In the case of the 850,000,000 is sue for public schools, careful cal culations indicate that the repayment of principal and interest will require an annual appropriation of approxi mately $3,200,000 from the General Fund. "Hence, it is estimated that the combined issues would require appro priation from the General Fund amounting to $4,600,000 for each of the next 20 years. This total debt service required for the two issues would amount to approximately 2 per cent of the current General Fund revenue." Officials Visit Eastern Star Here Mrs. Annie Laurie Mullen, D.D.G.M. and Robert Spence, D.D.G.P., of South Mills made their official visit to the Hertford chapter of the Eastern Star at a meeting held in the local lodge rooms last Monday night.
