Winslow ASA Convention MEMPHIS, Tenn. -Andrew Winslow of Hertford was among 145 voting delegates from 25 states attending the 55th annual convention of the American Soybean Association (ASA) here Aug. 10-13. A highlight of the convention was a panel discussion on the quality of U.S. soybean exports. Foreign importers, a domestic exporter, a USDA s official and an Iowa soybean producer were on the panel. Among their recommendations were: (1) to develop soybean varieties for high oil or protein content and to make such content a part of the grading standard, (2) to devise and implement methods of . reducing s damage- to- soybeans during handling and transport, (3) to provide better i means of verifying quality of beans upon arrival in foreign ports, (4) to create incentives for keeping beans at low moisture levels, (5) to trade No. 1 . soybeans in both domestic and international trade, and (6) to change the allowable level of foreign matter in No. 2 beans from two per cent to one percent, especially since Brazilian 'soybeans are exported on basis of one per cent foreign matter. . ASA President W.B. . Tilson of Plainview, Tex., Local Social Security Office To Be Closed Since a full time Social Security Office opened in Elizabeth City, only a very few people visit the local courthouse for Social Security services. Therefore, the . services given by the Social; Security Administration at the Perquimans County courthouse in Hertford, have been terminated. The Social ' Security Office has added more personnel and telephone lines ta make telephone service readily available to the people of Perquimans County. Many people have been calling the Social Security Office rather than waiting . to see a Social Security Representative during a monthly visit. , , ' The services of a Social Security Representative will still be available for the people of Perquimans County as needed. If Social Agencies, businesses or other organizations need personal :. services, arrangements can be made by calling the Social Security Office.

Attends spoke to delegates on ASA's "Heritage of Leadership," theme of the 1975 convention. Tilson said that qualities of the men who led the American Revolution independence, courage and foresight are the same qualities that have made ASA a leader in the field of agriculture. ' ' He noted, for example, that soybean farmers were the first to contribute their own funds toward foreign market development programs. "Because their leadership had foresight," he said, "soybean farmers were the first to reap the benefits of market expansion overseas." . . , u ' . fr r Another key -speaker waV J.E, Randag of , The Netherlands, president of , the International Association of Seed Crushers, who spoke on. the world oilseed supply-and-demand situation. Randag v said better soybean yields are the key to improving the soybean's position in an increasingly competitive world market. Only by increasing yields can farmers absorb their rising production costs and, at the same time, reduce soybean prices enough to compete with palm oil and other major competitiors, he said. ater Tentative Goals & Objectives For Land Use Plan Are Adopted By KATHY NEWBERN The county is one step closer in developing a workable county land use plan! At a recent meeting of . the Citizens :v Advisory, Board, this group came up with a statement of objectives, polices and standards for Perquimans County, using the citizens' input from the land use' questionnaires. 1 A public meeting was held last night for citizens of the county to comment on the guidelines the board had come up with. The next step, after the statement is approved, is to turn it over to the planning board and using these goals and objectives, they will come up with the actual land use plan. The statement says that "the future growth and development of Perquimans County must be planned and orderly." Usning this basis, which according to the questionnaires was the feeling of the majority of people in Perquimans County, the Citizens' if SENATOR ROBERT MORGAN Morgan's Tour Includes Visit In Eliz. City United States Senator Robert Morgan will be in Elizabeth City on Monday, August 25, to visit with constituents in an effort to find out "how the people of North Carolina feel about today's problems and issues." Morgan will be at the Pasquotank County Courthouse from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. to hold office hours, and will see as many persons as possible during the two hours. He has scheduled a meeting with representatives of the news media from 9 to 9:30 a.m. The visit is one stop on a swing through the eastern section of the State that Morgan will take during the final week in August. The week before that, he will ake a similar tour through the Piedmont section. The Congress is in its annual recess during August, but instead, of taking a vacation, Morgan is ,J.7fl Advisory Board then came up with several policies, n The, policies include adoption of a county , land use plan, a set of zoning ordinances to implement the plan, a set of building codes, a , set of mobile home ordinances, and the strict enforcement of the policies metioned above. One factor in the statement involves the creation of a Board of Adjustment, comprised of members appointed by the County Commissioners. This board would review petitions by individuals or groups asking for specific exemptions from zoning ordinances. The statement also calls for "exploring the possibility of acquiring the services of a building inspector." Concerning industry, the statement of objectives, policies and standards reads, "The county should, in conjunction with the towns and the Chamber of Commerce, actively seek industry and jobs for the county. However, it must be w W spending the first two weeks of the month in his office, catching up on work, and then taking to the road to see the people. The visits to the various communities will be informal and persons wishing to see Morgan may do so on a first-come, first-served basis. No previous appointments are necessary or are being made, his office announced. "Senator Morgan just wants to keep in touch with the people he represents," a Morgan aide said, "and he feels he can do this by getting out and talking and listening to as many of them as possible." -, t I 1 "J w) recognized that the natural environment and scenic 1 beauty of the county, and the.life-style of its residents are of utmost importance ;: and .must be preserved. , Industry which would .threaten the natural environment of the, county or the way-of-life of its citizens should be discouraged from locating within the county." Five policies in connection with this statement define beneficial industry as those which utilize agricultural ' and forest products and suggests that future industrial growth be concentrated near existing' communities. Industry would be discouraged from locating along the county's rivers. The tentative statement also calls for the development of public recreation facilities on the Perquimans, Little and Yeopim Rivers, including such activities as boating, sport fishing, swimming, picniking, camping and related activities. The attraction of tourists, and the tourist dollar, are also called for in the plan by historic restoration where feasible. The statement also asks for a county plan for Marching Unit Girls Raise Over $6,000 The fund campaign being conducted house to house by the members of the Perquimans County Marching Unit and their parents for their new bus has netted a total of $5,441.93. Combined with the profits from the candle sale and bake sale, the group now has a total of $6,340.84 to be applied towards the $12,052.00 cost of their new bus. Garland Eure, fund chairman, expresses the Savings Bond Sales Reported Sales of Series E and H Savings Bonds in Perquimans County during the second quarter of 1975 were $38,114.00.

Series E and H Savings Bonds sales in North Carolina during the second quarter of 1975 totaled $24,519,198, the highest second-quarter sales recorded since 1945 and 7.9 percent more than a year ago.
