Newbold-White
The Newbold-White House has
been closed for the winter but will
reopen to the public on March 1.
The Perquimans County Restora
tion Association is pleased to an
nounce that a spacious new visitor
center at the Newbold-White House
has been built, and exterior light
ing has been installed in the park
ing area and along the walkway for
safe night operation. These facili
ties will increase the Association's
ability to mount exhibits and host
special programs.
In order to staff the Newbold-.
White House and visitor center, it
will be necessary to have at least
two volunteers at the site each op
erating day (Monday through Sat
urday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) be
ginning March 1. Since the new
center is located some distance
from the Newbold-White House, it
will be necessary to have someone
in the building at all times to super
vise the gift shop and to handle
ticket sales. Individuals will also
be needed to lead tours.
At the present time, the New
bold-White House is still lacking
enough volunteers to run the site
properly and is seeking individuals
who will donate their time one day
a month. (Volunteers may also ar
range for one-half day per month. )
A training session for those inter
ested in volunteering for the com
ing season will be held at the New
bold-White visitor center on
Saturday, February 25 at 1:00 p.m.
If you cannot attend this session,
arrangements can be made for in
dividual instruction.
Those willing to help at the site
can call the Newbold-White House
during the day or evening at 426

SAVE YOUR VISION WEEK
The first week of March is the 61st Anniversary of SAVE
YOUR VISION WEEK, a national event. A Presidential Proc
lamation each year reminds the nation that vision is a
priceless gift to be protected by each of us.
Regular eye examinations are the best way to protect
vision. These examinations often pick up the early stages
of eye diseases like glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy, dis
eases that can be treated to prevent vision loss. Regular
eye examinations can prevent visual handicaps from im
peding your child's learning. A prescription for safety
lenses can prevent eye injuries in the factory or on the
. farm.
If you or your loved ones haven't had a complete eye
examination recently, make on appointment now. It is the
' best way to observe SAVE YOUR VISION WEEK.
