ARPDC Deyelope To Improve Housing Albemarle Regional Planning and Development Commission will develop a plan to improve housing in the 10-county North eastern area, either through creation of a Regional Housing Authority or a non-profit cor poration. Directors last Wednesday night endorsed the concept which was proposed last month by the Albemarle Area Development Association. Bob Syies, housing planner with ARPDC, will attend the first state meeting this week where the regional housing concept will be discussed. L.F. Amburn, Jr., AADA president, told ARPDC directors that there is sufficient need in the 10-county area to create some type organization to improve sub-standard housing. He said a regional organization would cost less to administer than 10 individual groups. v He pointed out that four municipal authorities now exist in the area Elizabeth City, Hertford, Edenton and Plymouth but they function primarily for residents of the respective towns. "There is actually a more acute need in the rural areas for some type housing program," he stated.

It is located on the Preston Nixon farm, 2 miles west of Hertford. Modern Conservation Long Time Practices People interested in con servation of natural resources are aware that organized and systematic conservation work, planned and carried out by soil and water conservation districts and the Soil Con servation Service, have been going on since the mid-Thirties. "This fact is particularly well known in North Carolina," commented State Con servationist Jesse L. Hicks, "since the soil conservation program got its actual start in the Brown Creek District in Anson County." With this historical background, the next logical question is: Do conservation carried out through the have valid application modern times and for the ahead? "The answer is 'yes'-and programsyu years" i forRact yearsaafven Elected Chairman: To 4-H Leaders Organization Mrs. William Modlin, 4-H leader of Winfall, N.C. was elected Chairman of the Perquimans County 4-H Leaders Organization in a regular 4-H Leaders meeting recently at the Perquimans County Office Building. Other officers elected were as follows : Secretary, Mrs. Levi Brothers, Assistant Secretary, Mrs. Evelyn Felton, Treasurer, Mrs. Kate Johnson. The organization will hold regular meetings this year. The next regular meeting is scheduled for the last Thursday in May. A Special Planning meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April, 27, 1972 at 7:30 p.m. in the Perquimans County Office Building. The world has grown suspi cious of anything that looks like a happy married life. -Oscar Wilde. many ways tried and true programs of environmental improvement are coming into their own and proving their real value," the state con servationist said. "Take farm ponds, for example. North Carolina has more than 65,000 ponds of all categories, including both dug and dammed ponds, which were created with SCS technical assistance. "Once just a source for livestock water, irrigation and other agricultural purposes, these ponds are now an im portant part of the countryside arid one of the best sources of bream, bass and other fish that can find. The currency of program is shown by the mat interest continues high after 36 years-last year ost 600 new ponds were sJw.'j irCHnstalled.' :t,EFsin control' has.. been Z practiced by farmers for years. ;:Some 35,000 miles of terraces VP been built, a million acres e been planted on contours erosion control, more than I&000 acres of wildlife habitat Jiave been planted and other programs nave equally im pressive statistics. But now with sedimentation a major urban polluter, the soil con servation program takes on new significance for all the citizens and practices previously used on farms have "gond to town" to aid construction sites and other urban developments. Soil surveys and other soils data is another example. Once this was primarily useful to farmers-and they still enjoy its benefits, to help plan wise land use. But now soils data is equally important to builders, local government, planners, health departments and others so much so that seven out of nine soil surveys now underway are being accelerated by funds from county treasuries, and two new ones-the Cumberland County-Hoke County-Fort Bragg progressive survey and the Mecklenburg County survey-are also receiving local financial assistance.

I went to DePaul Hospital and at first, didn't receive a very encouraging re port The Good Lord, good doctors, good treatment and good . luck, however, pulled, me through and now all trace of trouble has disappeared. The radiologist and doctors have double checked and rechecked and I'm most humble in expressing my thanks to all and . especially for the many prayers made in my behalf. ' I'm in my office each day now and talk by placing a finger over a trake that goes to my throat. On Monday, April 24th, I am to return to DePaul and have the trake removed thus everything will be back to normal and IH be in number one shape. The General Assembly doesn't convene until January, 1973, how ever if I hadn't been given assurance that my trouble had disap peared, you can feel certain I never- would have re-considered my withdrawal and had nerve enough to again request your support . and vote. To me membership in the General Assembly means service. If re-elected, that's what I expect to give! . SINCERELY YOURS, W.T. w CULPEPPER, JR.
