bilities i whereby beautlflcation
funds could be obtained.
Tom Brown, director of the
county's Industrial Development

protect Is necessary if the county
is to succeed in bringing in in
dustry. He said this was em
phasized by Roy Sowers, Jr.,
director of the State's Depart

ford in March. Stephens said that
an open space lands program al
lows acquisition and development

of old homes and buildings
could be aided by financial help
from the Institute of Government.
If Perquimans County and -or the
town of Hertford decide to seek
Stephens help, he said he would

then charge $50 a day for his
services which Include the seek
ing of grants and loans and aid
In paperwork until the money, li
made available, Is obtained.
Although invited, no represen

Home Economists
Will Meet May 7
Home economists from four,
teen counties will meet together
on May 7, at 6:00 p.m. at the
Edenton Restaurant In Edenton,
N. C. to launch a regional home
economics association. The new
association will be a spinoff of
the state-wide 1,500 member
North Carolina Home Economics
Association.
The state organization has the
framework to cope with general
living, but It is unable to tackle
situations peculiar to one area of
the state, Frances S. Vollva,
temporary chairman of the re
gional association, said today.
The important problem may be
management In one region of the
state; consumer competence in
another, she explained.
Under the new organizational
structure, each region may de
fine the. problem it believes to
be most pressingand work toward
Its solution. The five other re
gions may select unrelated chal
lenges. '
Other benefits of the new as
sociation include: the opportunity
for greater professional parti,
clpation, a chance for home eco
nomists to become acquainted
with other persons in the same
field, a more compact method
of expediting business and co
ordinating activities, and hope
fully Increased membership.
Serving on the steering com
mittee with Mrs. Voliva are Mrs.
Edna Reaves, Home Economics
Teacher; Mrs. Hattie S. Byrum,
Homemaker, and Mrs. Fran
Ward, Extension Home Eco
nomist. For more Information,
