it. ON THE CHOWAN RIVER A program by. the N.C. pivision of Marine Fisheries was initiated last year to remove abandoned stakes set up by fishermen in the Chowan River. Here the process continues as can be seen t?y the pile of stakes already on the barge. Stakes Removed t Chowan River.. .Many commercial fishermen have - their nets in this wide stow river ready to catch masses j 'oi nernng that run upnver from the ocean to spawn when the water warms enough. i Each fisherman starts (jlose to the bank, and, working toward deep water, drives a pattern of tall ., Stakes into the mud to support his nets and keep them vertical in the water Current. Spring fishing is big business here and in places the Chowan is porcupined with stakes. ! After three or four years (he saplings rot and break at he water line and have to be replaced. There has been a taw for many years requiring fishermen to remove the old wood, but for reasons good and bad it has hot been enforced. Consequently, the river and its tributaries have thousands - of boating hazzards lurking just below the surface, or when the Water level is low, exposed a few inches. Last year the N.C. bivision of Marine Fisheries began a program of emoving abandoned stakes n the Chowan. Division law Public Meet-To Be Held On ! The North Carolina Board Jf Transportation - has scheduled public meetings throughout the state again . his year to aid in updating its Highway Improvement Program. j The program includes projects on the state's rural primary and --. urban highways (generally US and Nc numbered highways).

PERQUIMANS COUNTY AREA ' CiiftLlma i7MPcrTcn See Us For Your ' : ' tilt rc jen Fort lllzor & ChsntltsinzcJt enforcement officers believe a 1970 regulation requiring ..registration of pound net ' stakes '. will , eventually eliminate the problem. The N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission, at its March 12 meeting, will consider a proposed amenment to strengthen the ; law. The proposed amendment was also designed to correct the net stakes problem that exists in other areas of the state. The Division's 110 foot motor barge ROSE BAY is currently working the Chowan near Winton. The bow of the vessel is maneuvered over a stake. It is a study of skill to watch the captain move the 110 ton craft in tight 'quarters. Many of the old stakes are close to new stakes with attached nets. Sometimes he can not help it and a cypress tree is nudged like it has never been before. Three props swirl to the surface the silty bottom layers. , Workers on the bow drop a chain over the stake and it is plucked mechanically from the mud. Several thousand stakes have been removed so far. Many thousands still need attention. Road Plan information, should send written comments to W.F. Caddell, Jr., P.O. Box 25201, Raleigh, N.C. 27611, prior to May 1, 1975. One of these public meetings will be held April 14 at 2 p.m. in Edenton at the auditorium of the Municipal Building.

Whiiestdn Homermkers Club Meets Arts and crafts was the name of the game at the Whiteston Homemakers Club Tuesday night, April 1st. Women in the community have been busy this winter crocheting and . some of them came and brought their work to "show and tell". We had several outstanding works of art, an afghan done in the afghan stitch complimented with beautiful embroidery; one made with Swedish embroidery on Monks cloth and several crocheted using the ripple design; a beautiful tablecloth4' crocheted in a very small medallion design. Registration Ends William H. McCachren, State Director of Selective Service for North Carolina, has issued instructions to all Selective Service Area . Officers and volunteer registrars to suspend ' current registration activities as of April 1, 1975. " This was brought about by Proclamation No. 4360 issued by President Ford oji March 29, which changes the method by which young men fulfill their obligation to register under the provisions of the Military Selective Service Act. McCachren emphasizes that this is only a suspension, and (hat new procedures will be announced later in (he year. There is still a requirement to register, and only the method will be changed. The requirement that a young man must register during the period 30 days prior to and 30 days after his 18th birthday is no longer in effect according to McCachren. He stated that In memory of-Mrs. -Elizabeth lAauiter,, a. beloved,. member of this church, who departed from us February 18, 1975. "Saddended are our hearts at Bethlehem Church, As life goes on, and we begin to search For one with a hind and smiling face To come and fill her vacant place. , Our hearts are heavy in losing this friend ' But God only promised years of three score and ten. Her presence brought us Joys through the years Hardly could we hold bach our tears. With kind deds, good thoughts, and concern for others, ' . . We knew her to be one of community's best Mothers. We miss her presence and her smiling face, But God called her home to a better place, Where joy and love will fill the air, No tears, no sorrow, ohly peace everywhere. Friends, when things are dull and nothing is bright, Remember her words, "Evertythlng will be all right". Dear God, looking to you above We thank you for her faithfulness and tender love As memories linger on, one can only say, She is not gone, but just away."

After the devotion and a short business session, the ladies gathered around tables in the kitchen and dining room to learn the art of "Brown Bag Boutique". Many attractive plagues were made using a brown bag, glue, a candle and mounted on a depressed board. " i It was a great evening of fellowship and fun climaxed with delicious fresh strawberry cake to eat. the future method will probably be an annual registration. This will require those liable for registration to present themselves during a specified period of time. Officials (Continued From Page 1) need a more structured form of instruction. Two programs . were viewed by the Perquimans team which may prove beneficial to the local system. At the St. Paul open school, all phases of the community life are utilized. Area businesses are asked to guide students in areas of interest. Secondly, there is extensive use of volunteers ranging from parents and college students to senior citizens. These people come into the school to talk and work with students in areas that they know best.

These jars have no shoulder and are tapered for ease in re moving frozen foods. They . can withstand a wide tem perature range. Mayonnaise, peanut but ter and other similar jars that are not designed to withstand a wide tempera ture range should not be used. The glass may break during freezing or thaw ing. Metal cans are economi cal containers. Coffee, shortening, fruit, vegeta ble and meat cans in good condition can be used. After opening the cans, wash, dry and air them to prevent rusting and to rid them of food odors. The fact that metal containers can be sterilized also makes them desirable as freezer containers. Plastic lids are avail able in a variety of sizes to fit cans. They should be durable and should fit se curely.

Polyethylene bags are one of the most economi cal packaging materials. These bags come in vari ous sizes pint and quart sizes being the most popu lar. . When buying bags, be sure they are at least 1.005 mils, thick. Bags that are thinner should not be used. Careful handling of the food - filled bags in the freezer is a must since bags tear easily. Because they are fragile and be cause they are hard to clean, re-use of these bags is limited. Taylor Theatre EDENTON, N.C. NOW THRU SAT. ' I .Jill II 5 Ute Show FrU 4 Sat. 1 1:1 1 P.M.
