Services surpass record
During January, three
direct services provided
through the Community
Life Program surpassed all
previous monthly service

vices, received by senior
citizens, were Telephone
Reassurance with 1,632,
Transportation with 1,728,
and Congregate Meals with
3,595.
Telephone Reassurance
allows senior citizens to be
reassured by daily
telephone contact with the
staff at the Community Life
Center. If a call is not
received, the staff at Com
munity Life investigates to
see that all is well. Local
law enforcement agencies
provide their assistance
when needed.
Transportation is pro
vided to all senior citizens,
utilizing the Economic Im
provement Council, Inc.
and the Community Life
staff. E.I.C. must have 48
hours advance notice given
except in emergency cases.
Congregate meals pro
vide a senior citizen with a
hot, nutritious meal Mon
day through Friday. These
meals are contracted by
Community Life from the
Albemarle Regional Plan
ning and Development
Commission (ARPDC)
which serves Region R, a
10-county area. All services
provided through Com
munity Life are free of
charge and there is no in
come requirement for
eligibility.
Community Life is an in
novative program of the
Pasquotank-Perquimans
Camden-Chowan District
Health Department, serv
ing residents over the age
of 60. Ray Becklar is Pro
gram Director.
Other services provided

chore, home-delivered

Library update
By WAYNE HENRITZE
Perquimans County Librarian
Bookmobile Information
The regional library bookmobile will be operating in the
Harvey's Neck and Bethel sections of Perquimans County
this Friday, Feb. 24 and every third Friday thereafter. In
formation about stops and schedules may be obtained by
calling the Perquimans County Library. There are about 25
stops at churches and stores throughout the county.
Homebound Service
The book delivery service to "homebound" residents of
the counly who would like to use the library or bookmobile
but can't due to health or transportation problems, is
always on the lookout for new users.
Call the library at 426-5319 for information on how to get
books delivered to friends or relatives who can't get out
much anymore. Generally, anyone who is too ill or lacks
transportation to do his or her own shopping is eligible.
Magazines on Loan
The library maintains subscriptions to about 60
magazines, nearly all of which can be checked out to
adults. These include most of the women's home
magazines, news magazines, and sports magazines plus
others dealing with nature, science, travel, the arts, and
literature. With magazine prices as high as they are, a bor
rowed magazine is a real bargain.
New Books
The Stars and Superstars of Rock is a well illustrated col
lection of rock biography from Bill Haley to David Bowie.
Motorcycles and World Motorcycle Guide are two new
books for those interested in motorcycles and racing.
Tatting by Lael Morgan is a new look at the old art of
making lace.
The Queen and Lord M by Jean Plaidy is a regency novel
by one of our most popular authors.
The Making of Henry VIII is a biography of the oft mar
ried king which sees the seeds of his future behavior in his
childhood experiences.
The Complete Book of Locks, Keys, Burglar and Smoke
Alarms and Other Security Devices speaks for itself.
The Wood Burning Stove Book is a brand by brand guide
to saving money with wood heat.
vided to senior citizens

VII of the Older American
Act contracted through
ARPDC provides con
gregate meals for 180 peo
ple daily, and Mental
Health joins in assisting in
the arts & crafts area.
More information about
services offered for senior
citizens may be obtained by
calling 334-3935.
Seminar
planned
Two organizations are
teaming up on March 14 to
sponsor an area meeting
for people interested in
the use of wood in home
construction.
The day-long meeting,
which will be held at Tuck's
Restaurant in Elizabeth
City, will be sponsored by
the N.C. Home Builders
Association and the N.C.
Agricultural Extension Ser
vice. Registration begins at
8:30 a.m.
* t
Mrs. Paige Underwood,
Home Economics Exten
sion Agent, said the pur
pose of the meeting is to
offer builders, architects
and other interested per
sons practical information
on the use of wood in home
construction.
Mrs. Underwood esti
mated that the information
could save builders from
(ISO to |500 in the construc
tion of an average mouse. It
could also result in the
wood lasting longer and be
ing more satisfactory to the
homeowner according to
Mrs. Underwood.
She said the Elizabeth
City meeting is one of nine
such meetings planned
across North Carolina in
March. Speakers will come
from the School of Forest
Resources at North
Carolina State University,
the Southern Forest Pro
ducts Association,
American Plywood Asso
ciation, and National
Particleboard Association.
Persons interested in at
tending the meeting may
contact the Perquimans
County Extension Office.

Did School Board
listen to citizens ?
TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing you concerning the error made in the
headline of last week's paper. I feel the headline should '
have read, "School Board is proceeding with Building Pro
gram without Sufficient Funds."
The County Board of Commissioners gave the School
Board $500,000 to match the State School Board Bond of
1500,000 to commence Phase I of the repair and construc
tion of the Perquimans County High School.
4 I feel that the School Board did not listen to the citizens of
Perquimans County. The County School Board was voted
down. There is no doubt in my mind that we need new
facilities but not built in a swamp. There are too many op
tions left open am) the voters did inform our elected of
ficers and administrators that they did not like the plan
that was presented to them. I wonder if Phase I consists of
50 gallons of paint and foundations being laid in the swamp
adjacent to King Street.
I would urge each citizen of our county to be present at
the school board meeting in March to familiarize
themselves with all phases of the presently approved plans
of the School Board.

EDITOR'S NOTE: We respect Mr. Perry's opinions as ex
pressed in this letter but beg to differ on two points made.
First, the headline appearing in last week's paper read,
"Board approves go ahead with funds on hand." We do not
feel this is an error since the Perouimans County Board of
Education did indeed take action approving the go ahead of
construction and renovation using the money currently
allocated. Mr. Perry suggestMnother headline might have
been more appropriate. That might be true. But the
headline that did appear was not an error; it expressed
fact. Secondly, Mr. Perry points out that the Coinmis
sioners gave $500,000 to match the $500,000 on hand from
the 1973 Statewide School Bond Referendum. The money
allocated by the Board of County Commissioners does not
represent matching funds. Rather it comes from a fund
that has been set aside for school construction. This money
will be used to supplement the 1973 School Bond money.
Thanks for support
TO THE EDITOR:
On behalf of the Perquimans County Jaycettes, I would
like to take this opportunity to express the club's apprecia
tion to all the parents, contestants, merchants, and other
individuals that made it possible for us to sponsor the Little
Miss Perquimans Pageant. The response and support was
tremendous and we thank each for for the part he or she
played.

STOCK IN THE SUPER
NATURAL? Even though
we don't take stock in the
supernatural, we did enjoy
this story so we pass it on to
you and you and you...It
seems that Mr. and Mrs.
Blank were driving home to
Charlotte from a weekend
in Kings Mountain when
they chanced to spy a young
lady hitchhiker thumbing
from a bridge between the
two towns. They gave her a
lift on the back seat and
pretty soon the threesome
became rather chummy, to
the extent that she told
them her name and gave
then her them her address;
a Charlotte address. Con
versation lagged presently
and when Mrs. Blank
looked around to aay
something to the girl (we'll
call her Mary Jonea
becauae that ian't her -
name) then was nobody on
the back aeat. "Maybe she
fainted and fell on the
floor," hasared Mr. Blank,
stopping the ear. There wu
nobody on the flow either!
"There's more here than
meeta the eye," mattered
Mr. Blank and the couple
forthwith hied themselves
to Mary Jones' address in
Charlotte to aak some ques
tions. An elderly lady
anawered Mr. Blaak'a
knock at the door. "Are you
Mrs. Jonea?" he aaked. "I
am," ahe answered, "and
what can I do for you?"
"Have you a daughter
named Mary??' Mr. Blank
prodded whereupon Mrs,
Jones immediately burst
into teara. "Come in," ahe
sobbed. Inside the house j
Mrs. Jones regained her
composure. "You needn't
tell me why you are here,*'
she said, "you picked op
my daughter on the bridge:
Doiena of people have _
brought me the same itory^
But I still don't under*
stand.. .My daughter, Ma rf~,
was drowned at that bridge
five years ago," ahe ended.
