Harbor unfurls flag Two flagi DO* fly outside the Snug Harbor Club House because of the efforts of the Snug Harbor Woman's Club. ) The American flag, the Snug Harbor flag, and a pole were presented to the community in a ceremony Saturday mor ning. Lester Simpson, a resident of the community and a Perquimans County com missioner, spoke oo the area I before the development of Snug Harbor, recalling a field and woods on the Yeopim River and creek that fur nished little revenue to the county. He pointed out that through the subsequent growth and development of Snug Harbor, tax revenues have increased I many times over. Simpson read excerpts from Jane Mayer's BETSY ROSS AND THE FLAG: "A flag must be an idea, a symbol. The symbol and idea have a feeling and give a feeling. The feeling the flag give* is ooe of belonging." Mrs. Robert Miller, president of the Woman's Club, called the American flag as "a symbol of the great spirit of the American people since the flag was first adopted June 14, 1777." The Snug Harbor flag was donated and designed by the Tom Wilson family. Mrs. Wilson described the flag as reflecting "the heritage and recreational activities of the community," and added, "may both these flags con tinue to be displayed to demonstrate unity as American citizens and property owners in Snug Harbor." As the flags were unfurled by Joel Hudson and Bill Desmond, Caroline Wright of Hertford played the National Anthem ofl the trumpet. Mrs. Alvii Jordan, who served as Mistress of Ceremonies, led those present in the Pledge of Allegiance. Tom Wilson, president of the Snug Harbor Board of Governors, accepted the flag pole and flags on behalf of all property owners of Snug Harbor. Wilson commended the Woman's Club for their presentation. "Through their efforts, (the Woman's Club) they have taken our naked Club House and put clothes on it, by giving this beautiful flag pole and flag so man can fulfill his natural instinct and have a pennant to rally under," said Wilson. Reverend Stanley Nixon, pastor of the Bethel Baptist 1 Chruch, led the group in ! prayer, and the ceremony 1 concluded with Miss Wright ' playing God Bless America . I Old Glory Caroline Wright, of Hertford, supplied a backdrop of xumpet music as the Snug Harbor Woman's Club presented the Property Owners Association with the American flag and a Snug Harbor flag at a special ceremony Saturday morning.

In rare instances, they will eat cotton or linen. Moths and carpet beetles cannot digest syn thetic fibers, such as nylon and polyester, but can damage fabrics containing combinations of natural and synthetic fibers. Damage by clothes moths and carpet beetles consists of irregular holes or depressions in infested cloth. In carpets of wool, the face yarn may be cut from the backing, resulting in large, bare areas. Small sandlike fecal pellets are sometimes present and in many instances you can see the damaging insects. Carpet beetle larvae are up to a half inch long and are brown and very bristly. Sometimes only the discarded bristly skins of the larvae may be found. Goth moth larvae are up to a half inch long but are cream colored, smooth bodied caterpillars. One species of clothes moth leaves a silky webbing behind. Adult beetles and moths are not usually found in the damaged fabric, but may be seen crawling or flying nearby. Carpet beetles are oval and about one eigth of an inch long. Adult clothes moths are tiny, buff colored, and are rarely seen. However, adults do not damage fabric. AH damage is done by the larval, or immature stage. Cleanliness, frequent in spection and adequate storage are the keys to controlling clothes moths and carpet beetles. Always launder or dry clean soiled clothing before storage. Pack articles in airtight boxes, chests or other similar containers. Include a liberal application of moth balls, crystals or nuggets according to label directions. Clothing may be hung in airtight garment bags but make sure your moth balls or other pesticides are in a net b$g near the top of the garment bag. Remove any plastic buttons, and do not use plastic coat hangers because they may melt. Every six months or so, remove the clothing from the storage bag. Hang the clothing outdoors in bright sunlight and brush vigorously. When restoring clothing, add more moth balls as needed. Vacuum infested closets thoroughly, apply a suitable ant and roach pesticide to cracks and crevices. You may also suspend a Vapona no-pest strip inside each closet to control adult insects, especially moths. These strips give up- to six months protection in enclosed areas. Rugs and tapestries should be professionally cleaned to kill active insect infestations. For more information on controlling clothes moths and carpet beetles, contact the county agricultural extension service. Secretaries attend meet Five secretaries from the Albemarle conservation District attended a state-wide District Secretaries Workshop held May 20-21 in Apex, N.C. The two-day training session on the management of soil and water conservation districts was conducted by the Division Development. Some 65 secretaries from across the state were present for this workshop which included sessions in administration, program development, communications, time management and education programs. Elizabeth Winslow, Perquimans County's district secretary, said the workshop was beneficial in both the training received and the opportunity afforded district secretaries to meet other secretaries from across North Carolina. "District secretaries play an important role in each county by providing landusers with available information on resource problems and by working closely with the Soil Conservation Service, the federal agency that provides districts with technical assistance in the field," said conservation chairman Floyd Mathews.
