RUFUS L. EDMISTEN
, Downtown Hertford
to gain new look
By JANE WILLIAMS
Downtown Hertford will be gaining
a slightly different look within the
next few months, due to a little
switching around and a name
I change.
The switching around involves the
location of Gregory's 5 & 10 Cent
Store and White's Dress Shop. Within
the next few months the two stores
will be exchanging places, allowing
Mr. and Mrs. Willie Ainsley owners
of Gregory's to enjoy a little slower
pace of life, and allowing Irene
Meads, Proprietor of White's Dress
Shop, more, much needed, space to
display her clothing lines.
Meads said thai she was "very
happy at the prospects of having
more space for her shop. I'm really
happy about having additional space
for dressing rooms and clothing
displays."
The Ainsleys plan to continue with
their picture framing business, along
with stocking confectionary items
and office supply materials.
The new name on the block will be
that of Eagles Stores, which is
currently P.H. Rose.
The Hertford Store was purchased,
along with 52 other P.H. Rose Stores,
in January by Variety Wholesalers,
Inc. of Raleigh.
According to Jim Minton, Senior
Vice-President of Marketing and
Operations the store is already in the
process of changing names.
"We plan to have a variety mix of
merchandise, and will make every
effort to improve on the merchandise
that the store carries," Minton said.
The Eagles Store is managed by
Mrs. Katherine Nelson.
Bethel Fire Dept.
receives grant
One hundred and fifteen (115)
volunteer fire departments in North
Carolina will receive matching fund
grants this spring as part of the
Rural Community Fire Protection
Program. Grant recipients were
announced this week by James A.
Summers, Secretary of the
Departmeqt of Natural Resources
and Community Development.
In Perquimans County, the Bethel
Volunteer Fire Department will
receive |500.
"North Carolina received $73,000 in
I federal grant funds for the program
this fiscal year," said Summers. The
money will be used to purchase a
variety of flrefighting equipment
ranging from "turn-out gear"
(helmets, coats and boots) and hoses,
to pumps and pumper trucks.
"This to the seveeth year that we
have worked with the U. I Forest
Service to administer this program,"
, Summers said. "These fire
departments provide ai. essential
A
service to our citiiens, our
communities, and our natural
resources."
H. J. "Boe" Green, director of
NRCD's Division of Forest
Resources, explained how the grant
program works. "The fire
departments send their applications
to us, and the applications are then
scored using a formula developed by
the U. S. Forest Service and the
Division of Forest Resources," said
Green. "The Ore departments are
required to show they need the funds
and that they will be able to match
the grant, dollar for dollar."
"Among the program
requirements is that the population
served by these departments be less
than 10,000 people," added Green.
"The maximum amount a
department can receive is $3,000.
This upper limit allows the grant
monies to be spread out among more
departments, therefore helping more
State-wide estimates show Edmisten with 51 per cent to 53
per cent of the total vote.
In the May 8th Democratic Primary Edmisten led the field
with the most votes, however he did not receive enough votes
to gain the Democratic nomination.
Former Charlotte Mayor Eddie Knox held the lead by a nar
row margin for his bid for Democratic Candidate for the
Governor's seat in Perquimans County until the West Hert
ford Precinct reported their totals, which boosted State At
torney General Rufus Edmisten into the top position with 508
votes to Knox's 487 for the county.
I
Across the state the race remained "too close to call" until
almost all counties reported.
Voter turnout across the state was expectedly low, with 1015
people voting in Perquimans County.
In other state-wide contest John H. Carrington defeated
Frank Jordan in the race for Republican nomination for
lieutenant governor, and John Brooks, the Democratic incum
bent running for re-election as Labor Commissioner, defeated
Richard Barnes for that nomination.
