Recyclable
Reynolds pays 15 centes per
pound.
Dufault said that several
of the cans, turned in by
customers were not
aluminum and said that
Hertford citizens should be
reminded that there are
several ways to distinguish
the. alummum. cans,, which,,
can be turned in for cash,,
from the worthless steel
.cans. The best way is to
place a magnet on the side
and ends of the can. If it
does not stick, the can is
aluminum. Many cans have
the words "recyclable
aluminum" printed on the
side and have rounded
bottom edges and no seam
on the side. Dufault warned
at the Municipal uuuaing in
ureed to nlease be nresent.
WEIGH-IN Donald J. Duffault, operator of the,
Reynolds mobile unit is shown above weighing a bag of
recyclable aluminum cans. He pointed out that a large
bag, such as this, filled with uncrushed cans will weigh
around 25 pounds. Reynolds pays 15 cents per pound.

Aluminum :
that several steel cans now
have the round bottom and
no seam, so he urged the use
of the magnet test as the
best method for
distinguishing the
aluminum cans. Other items
such as foil and t.v. dinner
trays are also recyclable
and pay the same 15 cents
Aluminum should be
brought to the mobile unit
pickup site in large plastic
bags, such as garbage bags.
However, Dufault said if the
bags are a solid color, such
as the popular green, he has
to transfer them to clear
bags for two reasons. He can

Lunch Policies
Perquimans County Board of Education announces its

served under the National School Lunch and Special Milk

Local school officials have adopted the following family
size income criteria for determining eligibility:

Children from families whose income is at or below the
levels shown are eligible for free or reduced-price meals or
free milk. In addition, families not meeting these criteria
but with other unusual expenses due to unusually high
medical expenses, shelter costs in excess of 30 per cent of
income, special education expenses due to the mental or
' physical condition of a child, and disaster or casualty losses
are urged to apply. , f ;
Applications are available at the principal's office in each
school. The information -provided on the application is
confidential and will be used only for the purpose of
determining eligibility. Applications may be submitted at
any time during the year.
In certain cases foster children are also eligible for these
benefits. If a family has foster children living with them and
wishes to apply forsuch meals and milk for them, it should
contact the school.
Under the provisions of the policy the principals will
review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is
dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he may wish to
discuss the decision with the determining official on an
informal basis. If he wishes to make a formal appeal, he
may make a request either orally or in writing to Mrs. '
. Janice P. Winslow, P.O. Box 347, Hertford, N.C., phone 426
5741 for a hearing to appeal the decision. The policy
, contains an outline of the hearing procedure.
If a family member becomes unemployed or if family size
changes, the family should contact the school to file a new
'application. Such changes may make the children of the
' family eligible for reduced price meals, or for additional
benefits such as free meals and milk If the family income
fails at or below the levels shown above. . 1 '

and he said the cans tend to
stick to the heavier darker
trash bags. If a customer
brings in cans in such a bag
and plans to return during
the unit's next visit, Dufault
will give them the plastic
bags for future use.
Dufault added that
"collecting aluminum for'
profit has turned out to be a
popular project for schools,
church groups and civic
organizations.
The mobile pickup unit
will be back in Hertford on
'Thurs., Jan 22 from 1:30 to
2:30 p.m. at the shopping
center and will return to the

Jaycee Jelly
WeeklsSet
) Parker Newbern, External V-P of the Perquimans County
Jaycees has announced plans for the local chapter to par
ticipate in Jaycee Jelly Week, Jan. 18-25.
The local Jaycees will be canvasing the county selling
jars of jelly at $1 each to benefit the North Carolina Jaycee
Burn Center. This is a statewide project of the Jaycees and
200,000 jars of jelly are expected to be sold by the Jaycees
and assisting civic clubs in North Carolina. The Per
quimans County Jaycees have set a goal of 600 jars of jelly
to sell.
The North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center will be built at
the Medical Center in Chapel Hill. Construction will begin
early this year and 1978 is the expected completion date for
the center. In order to treat burn victims, the facility will
house 23 beds, treatment rooms, occupational and physical
therapy areas.
Thus far the North Carolina Jaycees have raised over
$250,000 for the center.
This is the second year that the Perquimans County
Jaycees have participated in Jelly Week, and Jelly Week
chairman Joe Towe White and local members urge the
community to support this worthwhile project.

BRENDA B. WINSLOW
Children With
Special Needs
To Be Served
Perquimans County
School officials have
announced the part-time
employment of Brenda
Banks Winslow to work with
children in Perquimans
County age 3 to 6 who have
special needs. Ms.
Winslow's employment is
made possible through
ESEA Title VIB funding.
School officials pointed
out that the state
recommends as a first
priority to serve students
between the ages of 6 to 21.
However, it is the feeling of
local officials that students
in this age group having
special needs have been
identified and all those who
wish to receive special
services are receiving them.
Therefore, the local priority
has been put on children in
the 3 to 6 age group.
The six-county Access to
Mainstream project serves
handicapped children from
birth to age 3. And with the
employment of Ms. Winslow
to work with the age 3 to 6
group, there will be
continuous service to county
SUBSCRIPTION WINNERS The Perquimans Weekly
subscription drive has been completed by students at Per
quimans Union School. Pictured above are the top three
students selling the most subscriptions. They are (1. to r.)
Karen Butt, first place; Robert Brown, second place; and
Edward Winslow, third place. For their efforts, they will
receive cash prizes.

children prior to their
enrollment in kindergarten
or first grade. Some
children who have aged out
of the Access to Mainstream
project have been referred
to Ms. Winslow. Her job will
include home visits to
families with children in
need of special services.
Like the Access to
Mainstream program, the
local program works with
parent and child in the home
setting. Ms. Winslow is
currently enrolled in a
special training program
through East Carolina
University. t
Anyone who knows of a
child with special needs is
urged to call the Central
Office at 426-5741 in order
for a contact to be made
with the family. School
officials are also working
with other agencies such as
Head Start, Social Services
and the Health Department
to identify Perquimans
County children with these
special needs who could
benefit from this program.
