The charming town is

need."
Perquimans County's
School Board set aside
Tuesday as registration day
and is asking that parents
bring their children to the
Hertford Grammar School
or Perquimans County Union
School in Winfall.
While he -does not know
which of the registrants
would become kindergarten

will be absolutely no
favoritism."
To be eligible to attend, a
child must be 5 years old on
or before next Oct. 16.
Attendance is not man
datory. Locations for the
classrooms have not yet
been decided. Walters would
like one in each elementary
school, but finding room in
Hertford Grammar School
would present a problem.

One daughter, Pam is a
school teacher and lives
in Hertford and Susan is a
teacher and coach at
Williamston.
People is what Bill Cox
likes best. "They are our
biggest asset," Cox said.
The reason Cox, who
was born and brought up
here, likes to serve his
community is because he
wants to share in com
munity growth. He want
to be part of the action. "I
have seen this com
munity grow, and I want
to watch it grow and do
anything I can to help it
thrive," he said.
Cox has seen a lot of
good growth. He is ex
cited about the com

much more.
Mrs. Cox was asked
what Bill's hobbies are.
She said working. "He,
enjoys working more'

world," she said.
It's 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
