Announcement was made at the January meeting of the Board of Directors that the young man, now living in Orlando, Fla. will be a resident of Perquimans County, later this year. Dr. Jack Boone, his wife and baby son, had been corresponding with the Chamber, and visiting Hertford and other areas, including the Outer Banks to determine where he would like to settle and practice. : Seeing the country and meeting many of its residents were the deciding factors, and credit has to go to many who worked with Dr. Boone. Chamber President Ed Nixon and his wife, Barbara, took him around, and entertained him at their home. ' The effort to bring a dentist into the county, to spell Dr. Bonner, is another successful campaign by the Chamber. We have written him, commending his choice and welcoming him into our community. With programs like that, past successes, and the projects of the future, Chamber officials always find it difficult to understand why a few who should join, do not. In one or two cases, past grudges live on. In one or two cases, it is indifference. Unfortunately, those who are part of the Chamber find themselves supporting these people financially, and with their time without contributions on their part. Fortunately though, they are a mere handful. Every community is plagued with a similar problem. The Chamber drive this year is coming along quite well and the best news is that there are 18 new members.

Your financial support is needed for such projects as continued improvement of the park on U.S. 17. Work will resume there in a few weeks. Already, it has attracted many. By the time Kilcocanen Park (which will probably be its name) becomes total reality, it will be a vital part of our community. Ann Young must get the bulk of the credit. This has been her idea and she has spearheaded and done a great amount of work mental and physical on the area. A great deal of work is continuing with the Bicen tennial Committee. Next year there will be some special events of statewide import, just now originating as county ideas. One thing that can by publicized now, is the contest soon to get underway among Perquimans County school children, to find a Bicentennial slogan. It will be in use constantly for a year and a half and the winner will receive $25 for his effort and a few bonus surprises. Another .project, spearheaded by the Chamber, was sponsorship of a busload of people to visit Raleigh. They went last Tuesday to show Jim Hunter their love and respect for him, as he received (again) the Will Wynne Award. Other Chamber projects for later this year, include Farm-City Week, a civic calendar, and efforts to establish a central communications unit for all area fire-fighting units. With all of these projects in mind, projects so beneficial to our county, Chamber officials will ask those who are not yet members of join us immediately if not sooner. J tl i ... .
