But it was much more than tha. Those early settlers came to town to see friends, show off new babies, barter their surplus produce, and yes, some of them enjoyed a little “tipple.” Prominent in these gatherings would have been die militia (all male citizens were required to belong, although some did not possess guns), and Indians. One Indian called Alexander was sued by his owner for destroying his indenture papers). Yes, it was a lively scene, and it will be recreated at NEWBOLD-WHITE, North Caroli na’s oldest house, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Oct. 13.

Dr. A.F.Downum OPTOMETRIST MEN LIKE CONTACT LENSES, TOO: Although the majority of contact lenses are worn by women, more and more men today are choosing contact tenses rather than eye-glasses — perhaps six time as many as did just ten years ago. Men like the clear, more-natural vision that contact lenses pro vide. They also find them more comfortable for sports. The contact lenses don't steam up when temperatures change, or get splattered on stormy days. And lenses make many middle-aged men feel younger arid better about themselves. But just like female contact lens wearers, successful male contact lens wearers have committed themselves to a contact lens cleaning and maintenance regimen that includes frequent follow-up visits. And you just don't "get" contact lenses. A thorough eye examina tion precedes the actual fitting. It is after this examination that the optometrist can determine the best kind of contact lenses for you, your eyes and your lifestyle. Dr. A.F. DOWNUM 103 W. Eden St. Edenton, N.C. Phone:482-8444 Heritage Days planned Following the 1587 failure of the English to settle on Roanoke Is land, three-quarters of a century passed before North Carolina at tracted permanent settlers. In 1607 the English decided to settle at Jamestown, Virginia. By the 1650’s, some Virginians | chose to look southward for better I land and climate, thereby opening a new frontier in the area soon to be called “Albemarle”. Here they came into contact with the Algon kian Indians who had settled this land thousands of years ago. This meeting of the two cultures, and the results, will be the subject of a two-day program at NEW BPW backs harvey Gantt The National Federation of Busi ness and Professional Women’s PAC endorsed Harvey Gantt for the US Senate race at their national convention held recently in Char lotte.

Dear friends, Miscarriage, stillbirth, or newborn death is many times treated too lightly by society. We must re member that a mother has already begun to love the precious life she carries inside. In the days ahead, the support and under standing of friends and family will be deeply needed. Do not expect young parents to immedi ately dismiss their tra gedy. We must appreciate the depth of their emo tions. Respectfully, &urinbell jfunmtl Howe, 3oc. 509 Dobbs Street Hertford, N.C. 426-7311 BOLD-WHITE, North Carolina’s oldest house, (ca. 1685).
