Bon ner, visiting Hertford Thursday night of la.st week for the purpose of giving interested citizens a first hand report on the status the seaplane project proposed for construction at Harvey Point, told a large group of Perquimans and Chowan residents that rumors which have been circulating in this area for the past two weeks concerning the dropping or mov ing of the project are unfounded. Mr. Bonner stated' he had checked the information with Navy officials at Norfolk and) Washington and insofar as he was able to ascertain there has beenj no change of orders as to the con-1 struct ion of the base at Harvey Point. He opened his remarks withj details as to recent changes in the concept of defense preparations and told the gathering people! must have faith in those who are directing the defense program of 1 the nation. Pointing out some-1 times politics plays a part in tin; i scene, he emphasized he is not ' playing one site against another in regards to bases located in the ' First District of North Carolina, j As to Harvey Point, Congress-j man Bonner said, he had discuss-1 ed. with the Secretary of the Navy economic needs in tins area ;ind had requested the awarding of contracts for immediate work;! thai the secretary had concurred j with this request but that for-; ner Defense Secretary Wilson had frozen funds and thus the project had been stalled. He advised the audience that I he had been informed by highest uithority that work at the base had been scheduled to start last October but he could not account for the change. "Work," so far i I know, will start on January 1," Mr. Bonner .said. The Congressman also stated he iad been advised that a recent ;urvey was made at the Weeks ;illn facility to ascertain the feas bility of dismantling a hanger at that site for removal to anothei 'ocation but he had been advised hat survey had nothing to do Hertford Firm To Store Peanuts For G.C.

The 1057 peanut crops for the Virginia-Carolina area is esti mated not to exceed 5,000.000 bags.

The Peanut Growers Coopera tive Marketing Association is available this year as in the past to take peanuts under loan if it is to the advantage of the farm er. The Farmers Mart will pay loan price for peanuts at time of delivery. The loan price is sup port price minusi $9.00 per ton or 45c per hundred pounds.
