Another year, another festival at .another location ? that was the IMS ?''Festival of Skills" sponsored by the -Perquimans County Extension ?Qomemakers which was held Saturday at the Perquimans County High School Gym. ?J ? 1 Extension news north Carolina AGRICULTURAL SERVICE By Paige Underwood . ( The day was perfect for the 800 people who enjoyed the wonderful array of handmade items shown In the 37 booths by approximately 100 participants. There were booths by individuals and then there were booths by organisations who had many willing workers. Food, fun and enthusiasm was plentiful along with the variety of skills. Woodwork in all sixes, shapes and forms was very popular as Indicated by the happy shoppers seen leaving with tables, shelves, bowls, stools, folk art, toys and almost anything imaginable made out of wood. The gym provided adequate space for all visitors, especially mothers who strolled babies or toddlers from booth to booth down and around the pottery, ceramics, mother rat brooms, Christmas ornaments, pillows, baskets and much, much more. Stenciling was a new skill which appeared on place mats, aprons, pillows and baby bibs made by Sharon Godfrey. Paintings of ducks, peanut fields and other scenes provided the background for Penny and Leslie Williams who were busy hand painting scenes on saw blades and ducks, strawberries, out houses, etc. on light switch plates. Again, almost anything imaginable was painted on a switch plate. Prances Chambers, of Chowan County, who visited the fair in the afternoon, returned at night to bring a friend just to see Alyce Nsdeau's wreaths and arrangements which were very unique, very attractive and very unusual featuring vines, moss, straw and touches of this and that at just the right places. Most exhibitors were pleased with sales and indicated they would be interested in participating in 1964. We appreciate all the support from exhibitors, visitors and volunteers. Without all working together, the festival could not have been a suc cess. ? Holiday Island gets church By JACK GROVE Holiday Island has a new church, "Chapel on The Sound." A summei ministry has grown into a full' fledged congregation of over 60, t Minister, and a church home on the way. Holiday Island's new lay minister, ^ Jim Hodge, never dreamed of a ministry or living in North Carolina when he left his Portsmouth, Ohio home in 1952 to enter the U.S. Navy. Hodge's Navy career as a Radioman spanned 20 years and most of the yorld. The majority of his sea duty fas on major amphibious ships. He ^erved ashore at DaNang, Vietnam ?1969. ? It was while still in the Navy that ..ftodge answered the call to the Ministry. While on board the USS {WO JIMA (LPH-2), he began a lay Ministry which he shared with a U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant. He ?ontinued his ministry at USNTC Btunbridge, MD where he retired in 1972 as a Senior Chief Radioman (E *>? Born and raised a Baptist, Hodge says "I'm as non-denominational as fjyou can get. I like to be referred to as "a Christian." ! After his Navy retirement, Hodge (noved his family back to Port smouth, Ohio where he went to work m the electronic repair field. At the same time he continued his lay ministry in the Blue Bird Parish, a Methodist Association of sixteen ^mall country churches. The parish $ headed by a bishop and has twelve Qjay ministers. Hodge preached at Seven of these churches. | Hodge and his family were Stationed in Norfolk for eight years. (The family includes his wife, Janet; Regina, who works for Virginia National Bank in Chesapeake, VA; Angela, who is a registered nurse in Ohio; Mary Christine Odel, now a housewife in Tucker, GA; and Janet ^Lee who attends Perquimans Union School.) It was in Norfolk that they made friends with Bruce and Shirley Whitchard who own a camping lot in Holiday Island. ; In July of last year, the Hodges bought a motor home, took a vacation, and visited the Whitchards 4nd the Island. They liked the Island s|d well that they subsequently bought a camping lot. I Earlier this year Hodge resigned ?rom his job and ministry in Ohio for tyealth reasons. They came to the Inland last June for the summer. ' At the Holiday Island Property 6wners Association Office while inquiring about local churches, they falegan talking to Ray Rayfield and forest Myers. j Rayfleld asked Hodge, "Could you Breach a little Baptist?" and a 0toliday Island ministry was laun cited. j Hodge conducted Sunday services 14 the Adult Lounge throughout the summer months with the talented musical help to Janet at the piano. Bodge said, "When we started this, it was Just for the summer. You see, we planned to be home so Lee could be in school" Janet added. '.After a couple of Sunday service*, ??veral property owners started to talk about a continuing church. In response to their request that Hodge conduct a full-time ministry here, he s4>d that he prayed about it. As a result, Hodge said, "I felt that it was tke wUl of the Lord that I remain " They bought a tot. complete with ?while home. A sign designates Smokey Anderson, Gene Stutler and Ruby Stanley. According to Hodge, the church will be organized along the same lines that Snug Harbor's 1 Community Church followed. In 1 corporation papers for the Chapel on The Sound, Inc. have already been filed with the state. i 1 At its September meeting, the 1 Holiday Island Property Owners Association Board of Governors 1 voted unanimously to turn over lot 1 1 J to the congregation for a church building lot.
