(COA Photo) School ( Continued from page 1) the front section and auditorium of the 1924 building. Work would include installation of a new roof, new windows, wiring, a heating/cooling system, refurbishing, etc. This renovation must comply with existing codes-building, fire, insurance, for example. Some features of the codes are width of halls, fire-retardant materials, type of wiring, lighting, size of classroom, and fire lanes between buildings. The complete project would take approximately 18 months to complete. Funding for the project is not definitely known at this time. The Farmers Home Administration has indicated that Perquimans County is eligible for a low-interest loan. It is possible that the additional one-half cent sales tax money from the county is now getting would support the project. It is the firm belief of many people that this opportunity will not be available in the future. We can ponder over money spent, taxes, design of buildings and whatever we choose to make an issue; but the bottom line is that "It's the kids that count." Provide educational opportunities for Perquimans County students with a YES vote on May 8th! $107-Million requested in funding MORRIS John Edgar Morris , Jr., 41, at High Point, died suddenly Monday, April 23 in his home.

EVANS A RECORD OF POSIT!,: AP IE J ) EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE FIRST DIS1HICT A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR THE FUTURE OF NORTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA North Carolina communities have requested $107 million in federal Community Development Block Grant funds from the N. C. Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, $79.5 million more than the state has to allocate. Some 180 communities, including Hertford, filed requests by the April 16 deadline. In applications received by the state Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, the 146 municipalities and 34 counties have requested funding for community revitalization projects ranging from housing rehabilitation to street paving and development planning projects designed to identify critical community needs and formulate plans to meet those needs. The state has $27.5 million available for funding these projects in 1984. Hertford's requests totals $740,000 for Community Revitalization activities. Eligible applicants include the state's 100 counties and, except for the 16 largest cities, all municipalities. The 16 cities, which continue to receive Community Development Block Grant funds directly from the federal government are: Asheville, Winston-Salem, High Point, Greensboro, Burlington, Charlotte, Gastonia, Concord, Salisbury, Durham, Raleigh, Fayetteville, Jacksonville, Hickory, Wilmington, and Chapel Hill.

Sampson Harriett Cumbobnd Dei tie (keen Hash Robeson Pltt^ Hertford James A. Summers, the large amount of requests requires that state staff very thoroughly review each application. "Because the limited allocation will fund only one fourth of the requests, we must very carefully review each project on the basis of the established scoring system to ensure that funds will be used in the most effective manner possible." he said. Summers also noted that grant announcements originally were scheduled for early August, but staff reassignments due to tornado relief efforts have necessitated a delay of 30 to 60 days in the announcement date. Each community revitalization application will receive scores in the areas of community needs, project design, benefit to low and moderate income persons, other pubLc and private funds to be used for- project activities, and the project's consistency with state policies and programs. Development planning projects are reviews on the basis of need, feasibility and local commitment. REELECT CHARLES D.
