further notice.
Committee announced
today. ; . . ,
" This year's theme, "A
Different Place," em
phasized "how the many,
changes now occurring in
the nation affect our con
tinuing responsibility to be
good stewards of the land,"
said Mathews.
Churches in the county
are scheduling special Soil
Stewardship services during
the week. , ;
Mathews cited the energy
shortage, environmental
pollution, and the growing
concern over land use as
examples of changes and
developments affecting the
use of America's natural
resources.
"We hope," said
Mathews, "that during Soil
Stewardship Week, millions
of Americans will pause for
a moment to consider their
responsibilities for the
protection and use of the
Lord's earth".
Members of the
Perquimans Soil Steward
ship committee, are Floyd
Mathews, Carroll R.
Williams and Elmer C.
Iassiter. The committee,
will provide local churches
with programs, bulletin
inserts, and copies of this
year's observance booklet.
The material was prepared
by the National Soil
Stewardship Advisory
Committee of the National
Association Districts. The
Advisory Committee is
composed of churchmen of
different faiths.
Nineteen-seventy-four
will be the 19th consecutive
year that the Albemarle
Conservation District, along
with almost 3,000 similar
districts throughout the
nation, has sponsored soil
stewardship week. The
custom of setting aside
special"Rogation Days" for
this 4 purpose began more
than 1,500 years ago in '
France, when French
peasants prayed for help
after crA failures had
beought widespread hunger.

JUNIOR POSTMEN ON TOUR Shown here, Postman Dan Berry explains how the

The tour of the Hertford Post Office was a carry over of the recent Jr. Postman Week. '
Prior to the tour, Postmaster Henry Stokes distributed Jr. Postman booklets to the .
group. The booklets included stories, pictures, games and activities to enable the fifth .
graders to better understand the workings of the post office.
Restoration
Hits Goal
The people of Perquimans
. did it again.
The Restoration
Association just concluded
its second fund-raising
drive, and, for the second
time, went over the top.
The goal was $12,500. We
wound up with more than
$13,000 and a good chance
that figure will go higher.
Raising all that money
locally makes us eligible for
a $25,000 grant from the
state and a $12,500 grant
from the National Park
Service.
Last year we had a $17,500
goal and wound up collec
, ting almost $20,000. That
success netted us $25,000
from the state, $7,500 from
the National Park Service,
and $5,000 from the Smith
Richardson Foundation.
'For the restoration
proiect about $200,000 is
.needed. That money will be
used to make the oldest
house in the state, The
Newbold-White House, a"
major tourist attraction for
North Carolina. It will also
be used to fix up the site
around the house, and
establish a museum and
park there.
The money from the just
concluded fund-raising
drive will be used for
restoration of the house's
exterior. Work will begin
this summer. One of the first
tasks will be to laboratory
analyze the old bricks
that date back to about 1685,
when the Department of
Archives and History feels
the house was built so that
duplicates can be placed
where necessary. Needless
to say, the original ones will
be retained.
' Credit, or a great deal of
it, for the success of the
recent fund-raising drive
must go to Jean Winslow, .
the association's financial
secretary. Without going
overboard suffice it to say
that she did a tremendous
job. Or, you can settle for
fantastic. ; '
She is still looking for
money, ' and reminds
everyone that memorial
- - -
until
J L a
S . - m

gifts can be established in
behalf of the Newbold-White
House.
Much of that money will
be used to purchase the 17th
and 18th century furnishings
that will go inside the house.
What will happen even
tually is that Perquimans
County will have . "the
showcase of the bicentennial
year," as Mrs. " Winslow
said. And it is a showcase
that will last far beyond 1976
so it is one that will be of
great benefit to us for many,
many years to come a
great benefit economically
-and historically. , -

Orientation
Slated At
Perq High
In order to become
acquainted with the new
academic environment ' in
which they will , find
, themselves in September,
eighth grade students . at
Perquimans Union School
and Hertford Grammar
School will participate in
Perquimans High School's
orientation program, May
15, at 12:40 p.m.
' In all situations there are
"rules of the road" to learn;
there is a need to become
acquainted with the new
environment and bridge the
gap between the old and the
new. ;..
The transition from
elementary school to high
school is viewed as a step of
uncertainty for any number
of students . coming from ,
feeder schools. ' ' '
It is hoped that fears will
be dispelled, as a result of
this experience, and that an
inchoate sense of belonging
and understanding : of the
goals and purposes of this
new activity will be readily
grasped.
Parents and the general
public are invited to attend
this exercise, which will last
for approximately one hour.
The program will start
promptly at 12:40 p.m. with
a tour of the buildings and
grounds. An informative
program by the Guidance
Club will follow in the school
auditorium. .
