FiERdJUIMAN Volume 32, No. 44 Hertford, Perquimans County, N.C., Thursday, Nov. 11, 1976 15 CENTS THE WEEKLY EMC Members To Get Capital Credit Checks Member-consumers of Albemarle Electric Membership Corporation will be receiving capital credit checks for the year 1961 in the next two weeks, according to manager Ed Brown Jr. ( ,, "We are quite happy to be able to make a general retire ment of capital credits at this time," said Brown. "Return ing our margins to our member-consumers is all part of the cooperative principles of member ownership and non-profit operation upon which Albemarle EMC is built." Brown stated that capital credits for the year 1961 were $48,692 and that some $10,000 of that amount had already been returned to estates of deceased members, thus leaving approximately $38,000 to be mailed to members in the next two weeks. As a non-profit, cooperative business Albemarle EMC does not make a "profit" as such. Instead, any monies left end of each year's operations are referred to as "margins" and as such are assigned to each member-consumer's ac count as a capital credit. The amount of the capital credit is based on the number of dollars paid the cooperative by the member compared to the total margins for the year. "Through 1975, we have, made general retirements of capital credits amounting to $236,538 and special retirements to the estates of deceased members amounting to $105,683." noted Brown. "That's a total of $342,221 returned to our members and to the economy of the area," be added. The last general refund of capital credits by Albemarle EMC was in 1970 and applied to the year's 1970 member furnished capital. Since that time, the cooperative has been unable to make general retirements due to mortgage restrictions by its bank lenders, primarily the Rural Elec trification Administration. Retirements have continued to be made to estates, however. Albemarle EMC serves some 5,300 member-consumers in parts of Chowan, Perquimans, Pasquotank, Camden and Currituck counties.

V Wigginton was welcomed with a dinner reception held Sunday night at the Chowan 1 River Inn in Winton, N.C. The dinner was attended by school superintendents and special guests from the six counties involved in Alliance for Progress.

Ms. Roher and some school superinten dents, including local superintendent Pat Harrell, recently visited the Foxfire program in Rabun Gap, Ga. Approximately 25 persons attended the Sunday night reception. In brief com ments, Wigginton said; "I'm looking forward to exploring what I hope will be a whole range of possibilities."

Hopefully through these ef forts, we can make more people aware of this." On Monday, Wigginton talked with teachers, students, and interested citizens concerning the Fox fire concept at a gathering at John A. Holmes High School auditorium in Eden ton. Wigginton, who has taught in r.abuj Gap since lift," gave the group some brief background information on how the Foxfire program originated. He related some of his early teaching ex periences which eventually led to a change in his teaching approach since he felt his students were not in terested or motivated. The end result was Foxfire, the magazine which was first published in 1967 and now results in income of roughly one half million dollars an nually. Wigginton cited the three basic goals of Foxfire as an opportunity to give students . a more forceful illustration of what language art skills really are; a way to con vince students of their self worth and competence; and a way to develop a kind of understanding of the students' community. The Foxfire concept in volves having students in Newby. Two contributions to the Memorial Fund are in memory of Mrs. Guy Newby, four in memory of Ellis Winslow, and one in memory of Arthur Woods.

What started out as a magazine approach to motivate students and in volve them in learning ex periences, has grown into a large business. Four edi tions of the Foxfire books have been published and a contract has been signed for the fifth edition. Already , the first -edition has sold over 1,750,000 copies. Wig ginton and his students share a 107-acre site with 26 buildings in the Rabun Gap mountains where the Fox fire educational center is housed. From the magazine concept Foxfire has ex panded to include filming of programs for educational television, a record com pany producing the moun tain music heritage, and the beginnings of a furniture factory where students will produce copies of traditional mountain furniture. Wigginton also noted all of the possibilities of starting a Foxfire concept locally due to the many offerings of the area in history, heritage, legends and culture. Work is being done on a narrative and interpretive history of the six-county area and hopes are to involve a Fox fire type program in this ef system (Perquimans Coun ty Library in Hertford, Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library in Edenton; Tyrrell County Public Library in Columbia; and Washington County Library in Plymouth) will be closed on Thursday, Nov., 11 in obser vance of Veterans Day, a North Carolina state holiday.
