New Bussiness attended to was, the adoption of a slate of resolutions representing the views of Perquimans County Farmers.

Farm Service Agency's were reported on by Walter Hum phlett, Insurance and Shelton Morgan, Tire and Battery Program. Rollo White, nominating Chairman proposed a slate of officers for the County which was adopted by the Membership. Guest speaker for the oc cassion was Senator George Wood from the First District. Senator Wood had high praise for the Farmers and the following statements were made by him: He said no other group in the country were as important as the farmers, which make up only 5 per cent of the population, and never has so many owed so much to so few as the American Farmer. The American farmer has kept the Country solvent through international trade of farm commodities while the other segements of International trade show a defecit. He stated that one thing alone proplexes our enemies, is our ability to produce food and fiber. Our enemies are not afraid of our armies any more because they were equal in their ability to wage war. They are afraid of our ability to produce. In America 5 per cent of the population feeds America and then we export enough to feed a big part of the world. In Russia 40 per cent of the population cannot even feed Russia and he thought the fear of the American Farmers is what keeps this Country out of war, Senator Wood stated he was a little weary of the news media picturing the farmer as being subsidized by the Government: He stated that farmers pay 1 3 of aU taxes being collected in the country and that the country in turn was being subsidized by the farmers. It was also revealed that the U.S. Department of Agriculture spends a lot more money for the Consumer than the farmer. Senator Wood finished by saying that the farmer had gone through good times and bad, but still had a passion for God and Country. The meeting ended in a social hour with door prizes being given and refreshments served. Albemarle Area Development Assn.

May Be Expanded The supply of modern housing in Perquimans County may be expanded through a new cooperative effort with private industry announced today by Melvin E. Howell, county supervisor for the Farmers Home Administration, rural credit service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "From now on, builders, devtlopers and others in the home building and financing fields can work directly with prospective borrowers to "package" applications for rural housing loans," Howell said. "Participation in the packaging program," he added, "will be limited to those who can provide all the necessary in formation about the home, assure its delivery at a specified price, andean work directly with the applicant family." He explained that the packager will assemble reliable information on the applicant and the home he wants to buy, build, or improve. They will submit the data on forms supplied through the local Farmers Home Ad ministraton office in the County lOf f ice Building in Hertford, when the information about the building and applicant is com plete, the loan can be approved and funds made available by the FHA. Families residing in com munities of 5,500 population or under are eligible to apply for FHA loans. They must be unable to obtain adequate credit from private sources. Approved borrowers receive direct financing through FHA. The county supervisor said a briefing session for interested builders and developers will be held at 2:00 p.m. on November 120, 1970 at the County Office Building. "The first step for a prospective packager is to meet with the FHA county supervisor to obtain detailed information Co. Officials Asked to Endorse NC Zoological Park Placement County commissioners and mayors throughout Eastern North Carolina have been asked to officially endorse placement of the North Carolina Zoological Park in a location "most con venient" to the citizens of Eastern Carolina. Daniel T. Lilley of Kinston, co chairman of the Central Zoological Park Committee, made the request in a letter to R.L. Spivey, Chairman, Perquimans County Com missioners. Lilley said in his letter, "Due to criteria established by the State Zoo Authority ... it is impossible to locate the zoo in either the extreme western or eastern sections of the State. It is the goal of the Central Zoological Park Committee to bring together the interests of Eastern North Carolina. "Each of the sites being E presented by our committee is more convenient to the citizens of your community than any of - the other sites under con sideration by the Zoo Authority." BPW To Sponsor Bicycle Safety Campaign A bicycle safety campaign is being sponsored by the Hertford Business and Professional Women's Club. The purpose is to teach safe riding habits to the many children who own bicycles. On Saturday, November 21 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. children with bicycles are asked to bring them to the vacant lot beside the Municipal Building where BPW members wUl put reflector tape on them. This tape which glows at night when car lights shine on them will enable motorists to see the riders and thus cut down on accidents. Also, brochures on bicycle safety are being distributed to the school children in the county this week. .

In general, he explained, the family must lack decent, safe and sanitary housing, must be unable to obtain credit from othe sources and must have sufficient income to repay the loan, pay taxes and insurance, maintain the house and meet other living expenses. Family income, however, may not exceed limits established by FHA. The county supervisor said loans may be made to farm owners, nonfarm tract owners, rural residents or nonrural residents with low to moderate incomes who work in a rural area. The home may be on a farm, in open country or in towns under 5,500 population that are rural in character and not ad jacent to an urban area. "Each packager should un derstand that final action cannot be taken on applications until aU required information has been submitted to FHA, the applicant is interviewed by the county supervisor and any required, supplementary information has. been obtained," HoweU pointed out. A 36-page manual explaining the program is now available at the local office. The Farmers Home Ad-- ministration rural housina program totals $1.5 million in fiscal 1971, and will finance about 125,000 housing units. The total in . 1972 is expected to reach 200,000. units. The county supervisor noted that James V. Smith, Ad ministrator of the Farmers Home Administration "has expressed confidence that this new program will help smooth the way for applicants and move us more rapidly toward the national goal of adequate housing for every family in rural ; America." The Central Zoological Park Committee will make its presentation on behalf of three sites in Granville, Alamance Orange and Chatham Counties, Lilley said. Other area groups are tying to have the zoo placed in western Randolph County, in the Greensboro-Winston-Salem -High Point area and near Charlotte. The Zoo Authority wiU meet.
