The inconvenience of the ferry was noted by about eighty . persons ' who peti- 'tioned for a bridge to be built at Hertford in 1792. The petition stated that a toll bridge was needed be cause the ferry "frequent ly occasions delays, and is often attended with great risque and danger, laying quite open and exposed t the southerly and easterly winds so frequent in thig "country, and which ofteti raises such a sea in thfe said river as to render - it utterly impracticable or at least highly imprudent to cross in an open boat." Api. parently the county took n official steps in the matter. It was John Clary, mem ber of a Quaker family; which left Virginia during' the Revolution, who- did take such steps, , In 1796 he bought all the land op the north side of Phelps Point " on either side pf Church Street. ' (He al ready owned the land op posite the Point). H& pSt titioned the County Couft in November, 1796, for leave to build a bridge and road. The Court ordered James Wood and Major JjX seph Harvey to investigale the matter and they re ported on. 8 February lTSJh "That a bridge might fte built from' the Lotts be'-;, longing to the said John Clary at the point t in the Town of Hertford' to the swamp on the opposite side of the River to v answer a very valuable Qrt Oar Ft re See x This column will deal with "First Aid" fire light ing appliances. First, aid, medically speaking, is the first temporary care given an injured person until professional care can be obtained. So it is with ; fighting fire, that "first aid" appliances are used until professional help can arrive. ' '. , "'' ' Water is a universal ex tinguishing agent for fire. Water is: more readily available ; and i'- a cooling substance. . When applied correctly it will" reduce the temperature of ignited ma terial, , thus - extinguishing the fire. The method in which water Or chemicals are applied to' a fire' is of great importance. The '"first aid" fire ap pliance ' m os t available around your home is the -inch garden . or water hose - with an adjustable nozzle. It is a good prac tice to have a hose con- nected to an outlet either inside or outside in a pro tected place. Some alert citizens have a hose con nected under their sink or in the utility room. Nor mal water pressure will give an effective stream ifrom 20 to 30 feet from a garden hose.. 'Another method of water t application can be obtained, from . insecticide! i. s p r a y tanks that.. pressure can be pOmped up .. On,, i Remove the. , tip or nozzle to gain stream .reach.; Other first aid , items- in - home fires: are: When cooking and .grease vrignies, remeimperi to qut. off the source of ) heat, cover the container with a lid or spread bi . carbonate of soda over the surface. r Never use water . on grease. If an electrical fire occurs, pull the main switch box lever down. In rural areas, a large plas tic ' trash can filled with water and a bucket near by can .put; out a lot of grass, and trash, fires.

The road to be at least 18 feet wide thro' said swamp with a- Ditch on each side sufficient to drain said road. We find the river to be one hund red and fifty-seven yards wide. The Swamp we suppose to be three-quarters of a mile where the Road must go. We esti mate the expence of said Bridge and Road at one thousand pounds.

This type extinguisher is about as. obsolete as the kero sene lamp. The soda-acid .extinguisher when inverted mixes a bottle of acid with soda water to expel the mixture through a tube nozzle for about 25 to 30 feet. The. problem is that once inverted ail the chem ical in the extinguisher has to be expelled. The soda settles to the bottom of the extinguisher and does not mix well after aperiod of time. , The 2& gallon air pressurized water : extin guisher is better protection, easier, to operate and more serviceable. A popular portable fire extinguisher today is the 2 pound dry chemical extinguisher.. This extin guisher contains 2 pounds of sodium bicarbonate pow der that is expelled by air pressure.

One of its most important programs is the Blood Program. The recipients of over 50 pints of blood since September in Perquimans County can tell you how important it is. Citizens of our county have been eli gi. lc to receive blood at Albemarle Hospital, Chap el Hill, Duke, Norfolk Gen eral and Edenton. With out the generosity of people in Hertford and surround ing areas, the expense or the blood itself would in seme cases created an ex treme hardship. You have about 12 pints with you at all times. Yet when you share one pint to help someone live, your body quickly makes more. Any one 18 to 60 years old can give blood. People under 21, unless married or in tne armed torces, must have written consent of their parents When you come to do nate, a brief physical tem perature, pulse, blood pres sure, hemoglobin check along with a medical his tory, makes sure you're in condition to give blood. A doctor and nurse super vise the donation process. You are able to donate as often as every 2 months, but no more than 5 times a , year. Whepejapi. receives your blood, he pays nob for the blood it self, but only a small fee for hospital processing, cross matching, and admin istrating the blood. This is far less than the $22.00 to $75.00 a pint patients must pay for commercial blood. Blood may be used for transfusions about 21 days. After that it is still avail able to process into valu-' able derivatives such as serum albumin, gamma globulin, fibrinogen and others. These keep indefi nitely and are useful in treating many diseases. Two hundred pints a day every day a year is used in our Tidewater blood area 200 pints are 200 people who care enough to share life with others through the American Red , Cross. The next visit of the Bloodmobile to Hertford is March 27 from 12 to 5 at the Methodist Church. local BPW Club Holds Meeting The Hertford Business and Professional Women's Club held its monthly din ner meeting Thursday night at the home of Mrs. Em mett Winslow.
