PAPERS Continued from 1 newspaper is founded, we offer to you as our Christinas gift and with it goes the heartiest holiday greet ings from Mattie Lister White, Edi tor.” To put it in context, in 1934, American remained in an econom ic Depression. In other front-page stories that week there were ar ticles on relief efforts for the poor. There was also a short piece on a womanless wedding at the high school. Ten years later, the Depres sion was history, but World War II made headline stories. In the Dec. 22,1944 issue, there is a brief story on what we now call “The Battle of the Bulge.” “News from the western front underwent a blackout this week, following the counter-offensive the Germans launched at several points near the Belgian border. It is known that the Germans, hit ting weak points in the American line, where various Armies joined forces, gained from 18 to 20 miles in territory and recaptured part of Belgium.” There was also a story on Christ mas shopping, such as it was. “Hertford’s street scene was a lively one this week as shop pers vied in a last-minute rush to purchase scarce merchandise for Christmas. “Most shoppers found difficulty in locating just what they wanted to buy due to the fact that so much merchandise was purchased in former years had gone to war and was not available anywhere, but the holiday spirit seemingly had fallen on all and a jovial mood was evident.” In other front-page news, Miss Helen Robbins Vick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.S. Vick of Hertford was married in candlelight cer emony in Miami. Skip ahead 10 years, there is a front page story about a petition to dissolve the Town of Winfall, in part because the town board wasn’t meeting regularly. There was also a piece on the final ap peal to raise money for a tubercu losis fund drive. C. Edgar White, Superintendent of Public Welfare, also announced that organizations that wanted to help, could still assist the “unfor tunates at Christmastime.” Skip ahead to 1964, there were mentions of Christmas but the big gest headline appeared to be “37 Public Clinics Are Scheduled To Operate In Polio Vaccination.” Virginia W. Transeau is editor now and there is a piece of J.F. Mansfield and H.J. Scaff, both of Hertford, planning a trip to Mexi co City. By Dec. 19, 1974, the only real mention of Christmas is a tiny little story about early deadlines because of Christmas. The big front-page story was about the an niversary of man’s first powered flight. By 1984, the front page is domi nated by a three-column picture of a drawing made by Kathy Smith in the school art contest. For her vic tory, she won two free video plays at the One Stop Convenience Store. The other big piece above the fold was a story about Edgar Roberson Jr. being named 1984 Fireman of the Year by Hertford Mayor Bill Cox. THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY The Christmas edition of The Perquimans Weekly in 1984. LIBRARY Continued from 1 won is given to public librar ies in the state that were either built or renovated in the past year. The criteria included the functionality of the building, technology, appealing design, well-de signed shelving and furnish ings, adequate parking, and good lighting. Creativity in design is an other criteria and the read ing boat, a full-size boat for children and parents to read in, is unique to the Per quimans County Library. “It does seem like the award goes to larger librar ies more often, so for a small rural library to win, that’s pretty awesome,” Bugniazet said. Last year’s winner was Winston-Salem which had a “huge” library renovation project, Bugniazet said. Perquimans County opened the new library in March. The Hertford facility was designed, and built specifi cally for the library. It was with the cooperation of the County Manager Frank Heath, the Board of Com missioners, the Library Board led by Chairman Bill Ross, County Librarian Mi chele Lawrence, and Bugni azet and citizens of Perqui mans County who provided community support. “We’re proud we re ceived the award,” Heath said. “I think the library has become a centerpiece of the community.” Bugniazet said several library officials asked her about the boat. Bugniazet came up with the idea, and approached the furniture designer, Carolina Designs, to see if they could build the boat. “One library asked me if they could do one of a train, and I said I don’t see why not.” Bugniazet picked the boat idea because of all the water in Perquimans County. Attending the ceremony was Bugniazet, Lawrence, along with two staff mem bers from the Tyrrell library that created the award-win ning program. Attending the ceremony was Bugniazet, Lawrence, along with Markam and Benton. “For a community as small as ours to win this award was just phenom enal,” Lawrence said. “We did a presentation with Judi and I that showed a photographic tour of the library and what the old library was like with the small areas that were used for a number of things. We also showed off all the won derful technology we have now.” Afterwards Lawrence said she was approached by library directors who are looking to do renovations and had questions about how the Perquimans library was created. The Tyrrell County Li brary received a program ming award for their pro gram, “Valentines by Special Delivery”. The award’s criteria include innovativeness, ability to be replicated, in volvement with other com munity organizations and effectiveness of publicity. The Tyrrell County Li brary sells bears in a gift box with candy and prizes every Valentines Day. The library staff, dressed in costumes, deliver the boxes to day cares, schools, and other facilities. A magician goes along and provides a few magic tricks at each stop for the adults The library partners with groups who help supply the library with prizes for the gift bags. Staff members Linda Markam and Terese Benton started the Valentine’s tradition.

Broad St., Edenton 482-2686 HEATING Continued from 1 suspended on Tuesday at the high school. The prob lem appears to be a boiler. The high school has a mix of heating and cool ing systems, but just one boiler. About a month ago, a problem surfaced at Cen tral. The 16-year-old school is serviced by two heating and air units on one side of the school and two units on the other. The two on side with Pre-kindergarten and kin dergarten quit working. Jim Davison, the main tenance director for the school system, said it was just a situation of old age. “We were living on bor rowed time,” Davison said. The average life of a unit is 12 to 15 years, and they have been working at the school for at least 16 years. For now, Davison said he has portable heating units in each of the effected classrooms. “The kids are fine,” Davi son said. But repairs may be a while. “The lead time on the equipment is at least eight weeks, and that’s after you place the order,” Davison said. It’s also not simply a mat ter of installing the new PUBLIC NOTICE PUBLIC NOTICE From Perquimans County Code Enforcement Officer Except for the Sheriff’s Department, Dispatch Office and Emergency Medical Services, all County Offices in the Perquimans County Courthouse, Courthouse Annex, Social Services, Agricultural Extension Service, Perquimans County Library, and the Perquimans County Recreation Department will be closed on Monday through Wednesday, December 24 - 26, 2018, for Christmas and Tuesday, January 1, 2019, for New Year’s Day.

They will either have to be able to fit up the stairs or a hole will have to be made in the ceiling. There is also the issue of cost. The replacement cost could be $60,000. The county did authorize $150,000 so the schools can upgrade software for heat ing and air units through out the school system. The current software is 12 years old and can’t be upgraded. Davison said the school system is still in the engi neering phase of the soft ware upgrade.
