This Is The Land Known As Pitt County; Born Of Petition 204 Years Ago

By JOHN G. DUNCAN

On Friday, May 0, 1760. a petition of sundry inhabitants of Beaufort County was laid before the Assembly at New Bern.

It asked for a division of Beaufort County. .

Another petition against dividing the county was also presented when the vote was taken. A majority voted to have the mav ter taken before the November pssion of the Assembly.

On November 19, 1760, John Simpson was oixlered to prepare a bill and bring it before the Assembly. This bill provided for a division of Beaufort, erecting the upper part of Beafort County into a county and parish, by the name of Pitt County and St. Michaels Parish.

. This .same day,* it passed the Lower House and was sent on to the Upper House.

On the twenty-fifth day of November, 1760, the Upper House pa.ssed It.

The bill provided that on and after the first day of January,

1761, tfianfiT^PPcr part of ihfe laid county of Beaufort, beginning at the line running between aald county and Tyrrell, running south, southwest to Cherrys Run. where the main road crosses the said run: thence down the sa.it run to Tranters Creek; thcncc down the said creek to Pamlico River; thence down the said river to Pork Point, on the south side of the said river; thence up the Chocowinlty Bay and Creek to the head thereof; thence south, southwest, to the dividing line of the said county and Crav-en: thence along the dividing line* of Craven, Dobbs. E d g > comb and Tyrrell: so that all that part of Beaufoit County to the westward of Cherry Run. Cho. cowinlty Bay and Creek, .shall and la hereby declared to be a separate county and parish, and shall be called and known by the name of Pitt County and St. Michaels Parish, with all the rights, privileges, benefits, and advantages.*

.40 204 years and few da.va ago was born the county of Plti In the Province of North Carnlliia Arthur Dohir, wa.s the Royal

Governor and men like John Simpson. John Hardee. William Spier, George May and Isaac Buck help build the new county along the Tar,

A courthouse, prison, pillory and stocks were to be erected on John Hardee's laud and a tax of two shillings on each taxable poll was levied for two years to pay for same.

Courts were to-be held in the house of John Hardee until a courthouse could be built.

The loss of some of its area I to create Pitt was a severe blow ' to Beaufort County. |

In 1762, Alexander Stewart i wrote that his parish had lost ' the better half of his white par- 1 ishioncrs. . I

In 1763, the A.ssembly provided ' for the running of the line be- i twccii Pitt and Dobbs County. ; this line was to extend floin Blounts Ford on Little Content-ney Cicck to Luke Whites, then up to Middle Swamp to William Wilson's and from thence to the nearest part of Edgecomb Coim-4yr

and province during the next 17 years.

Pitt County men marched off to the battle of Alamance in

May, 1771. .....

A bill will be passed for the erection of a town on the lands

of Richard Evans its name was to be Martinsborough.

Freedom would be won from England and the colony would be a free state.

Men from Pitt County would die on many battlefields and a new flag would be flying over the land along the Tar.#

A New Shape In 1785, Richard Caswell was governor and the shape of the county would be changed. An act of that year would give a good part of Pitt to Beaufort County.

The new line provided by the act was as follows Beginning at the Craven County line where it crosses and running with Creeping Swamp and Chicod Swamp to the mouth of Round Is 1 a n d Branch, then a direct course to the mouth of Pitch Hole Branch.

In 1768, a jnail imte was es-1 tablislicd through he county. Salters Ferry on the Tar River was on this route.

There is a lot to be learned about this buslne.ss of government, Moore , told the , State Student Legislature at its opt'n-Ing session Tlmr.sday.

Two important events took place in Pitt County durlug 1786.

First was the establishing of Pilt Academy and the other, the annexation of a part of Craven County.

To' Pitt was added quite a bit of land and a prominent land-niark Blount Hall.

Over the Years During the 204 years since this land became Pitt County, much water has gone under the bridge.

The land has known many thlng.s and many people have ov. er those years called It home.

Good tlme.s and bad limes have been taken In stride, and the oiuidallons laid down by thasc who sleep in the!r little .silent is-lands that dot the coimty, have been well bidll on And the fuliire as of now i.ernv. Inlghl for the counly along the Tar.

GOV. DAN MOORE

Carolina has acquired its own character, tradition and" history through the struggle, sacrifice, courage and hard work of men and women who met their own responsibilities ....

I hold the firm conviction that North Carolina stands at this moment on the thicshold of greatness, looking to an era of unprecedented prosperity and growth. We have come to the moment when our dreams can become a reality, not becau.sc fate willed it, but because North Carolinians in past years have made this possible.

"The challenge before us now' is to move forward. It is an exciting challenge. And It Is one that North Carolinians will meet with a new enthusiasm, building proudly and with confidence on the sound foundation we inherit from the past.

From' ttris-tlurshoid pf gr'cat*^-ness, NortbJCarolliia will move forward In education. Heartening as our educational pr'ogress has been, we must not be complacent. Much more remain.s to be done in public schools. In community colleges and in our institutions of higher learning. We must give to all our children the best that we can provide In ed- ucatlonal opportunil... Less than that would be a cruel disservice to these children and to North Carolina,

Education Is a capital investment' In the future of our State. The direct and indirect retuni on that investment can and will stagger the Imagination of our t>eople and quicken the economic puLse-beat of our State. The simple fact Is that today the well-educated man or woman ha.s become the single most Important capital re.source in our society.

From this threshold of greatness, North Carolina will move forward In all majcr segments of our economy. We mu.st have more new and expanded Industries, mnn diversified and prof-Itablr agiictiHure, more and lrt-

As you read the contents of these pages you will be aware, we think, that Pitt is a wealthy county more than in just the economic sense of the word. The information in this edition traces de* veTppment br^.vanbus p^^ oT the life of the county which has brought it to where it is today.

What has been done in the past is interestliif and informative. But at best it provides only a foundation upon which a people can continue to build. In the case of Pitt'County, the foundation is well established. There have been significant ac-compliBhments, but these in themselves cannot aus-

the state's multi-million dollar highway program on a strict ^Don-poUUcal basis and safe from influence peddling meant putting teeth Into the law.

There were firm promises of this. But until the administrations bills to reorganize the Sti^ Highway Commis-Moa came In. no one knew rmlly just how sharp those Jifth i^ht be.

On every hand, in every phase of life of the people of this county there are new challenges which must be accepted. There are new and dif-ficult tasks which must be accomplished.

Changes will come; they are inevitable. Progress is not, So far in Its history Pitt County has been able to forge progress _into its changes. Whether progress continues to come with future changes in Pitt County will depend upon the people and their continued Interest in building better communities in which to live and make a living. The past is one of accomplishment in spite of difficulty, moving forward in spite of hardship. The information in this edition, we think, shows that Pitt County hag reason to be proud of its past and of its progress.

And what of the future?

The future of this county and its continued development is brighter than at any other time in its long history. The key to opting the doors of opportunity for Pitt County is in its greatest resourge ... its people.

H the United States is really to be pushed to the ultimate teat In Asia. It is good to know that it wlU carry into the struggle a rich fund of good will in at least some d the free nations.

The good win was manifest^ lome months ago when the government d the Philippines offered a contingent of some six thousand men for service in South Vietnam. The story was a one-day wonder in U^S. headlines, whereujpon it dropped from sight, presumably because the FUlj^os were turned down.

TTje dfer could be revived, however, if the Phllippkie Ambassador to the Taiwan Chinese. Narciso Ramos, representa the continuing attitude d his government. In a little - publicized speech In Talpal made just at the beginning of the heightening d tensions In South-esst Asia, Ambassador Ramos lamented that the free Asiatic nations had only talked about Insuring their collective security agalnit aggression. In actual deed/ he said, free Aslan nations have accomplished litUe, if at all. in this direction."

Ttwre was a bitter gulf between Preiddehls Franklin D. Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover. Through the 12 years of Rdomt velts presidency Hoover never visited the White House and was never asked to.

But then the gap appeared again when Eisenhower became president, succeed i n g Truman in 1953. The l(Mig coolness between these two men ended only when Eisenhow e r visited Truman at his Ubrary In 1961.

It was the first time either had called mi the other since Elsenhowers inaugura t i o n eight years before.

The presidential race between Roosevelt and Hoover In 1933, w'asnt pleasant and untU World War II Hoover had been a constant critic of his successor.

He blamed Roosevelt for lack of cooperation just before Roosevelt took the oath of office in 1933. Hoover had Invited Roosevelt to the White House to discuss national and international problems, particularly the depression panic.

After Truman took over and -dlscussed-worid4oo<hieed8 with Hoover, he sent the former president around the world to make a food survey for Jilm. Then he appointed Hoover to head a commission on government reorganization.

During this time Hoover said some critical tMngs about Trumans .iprej^_p^y,-

backed Adlal E. Stevenson against Eisenhower. The latter, even though Truman had shovm Mm great honor, criticized the Truman administration so severely that Truma charged that Eisenhower w a's waging (me of the lowest gutter campaigns I have ever seen.

Eisenhower, in Ms book. Crusade in Europe," recalled that when he met Truman in Europe In 1945 the latter offered to help Mm get the presidency.

.Truman denied tMs,^ said he had warned Ehsenhower against the job.

Three years ago Etsenhow'er In a televisiim interview said I did invite him (T uman) to the WMte House but he already , had some circumstances 4hat ' prevented Ms coming.

Elsenhower, made use of Hoovers talents. For Instance, In setting up another commission on government reorganization, with Hoover heading It.

- Truman had opposed Kennedys nomination in 1960 and stuck some harpoons In him. But, once Kennedy got in, Truman backed him. The two men remained friends thereafter.

In 1961, when this country ran into disaster with the Bay of Pigs invasion by Chiban exiles, Kennedy visited Hoover in New York to explaM it and sent Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson to Missouri to explsin it to Truman.

And Kennedy consulted with Elsenhower, Truman and Hoover during the Cuban missile crisis In 1962. Truman, reportedly. was brought into a National Security Council meeting when the Kennedy administration decided to resume nuclear testing in 1961, after the Russians did.

Kennedy consulted wit Eisenhower in places as far apart as (lettysburg and California.

Germans are terribly ui>st with the Egyptians over a state visit to the U. A. R. by East , Germany s Walter 1-brlcht at the end of tMs month. The West Germans agreed to stop arms sMpments to Israel In exchange for a pledge from Nasser that he wouldnt recognize East Germany.

But TJlbrlchts visit is a slap in the face to CTiancellor Ludwig Erhard, and West Germany wanted the . A. R. that it would retaliate, the harshness of the retaliation to be

Through neutral sources we were able to obtain the minute# of ft meeting between Nasser and his cMef of protocol concerning Ulbrichts visit.

Sir, all the plans for President Ulbrichts visit have been worked out.

You understand." Nasser said, "that if the state .visit is too successful West Germany will break off diplomatic rela-tlons with us."

Yes. sir. For that reason we have worked out a schedule that should please both the

East Gtermans and the . West Germans.

Proceed.

(The Raleigh Times)

State officials were wise in their decision to let the State Student Legislature use the old Senate and House chambers for its meeting this week. And. they also were wise in beginning a study to nail dc n exactly what use should be n Je of the old chambers during years to come.

Because the old Capitol has been out of service as a legislative meeting place for only four years, it is hard to realize that the place now is more (rf a real historic shrine than a spot for meetings. A 1961 resolution of the General Assembly placed the old Senate and House halls under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Archives and . s-tory to be preserved. . .and used exclusively for the purpose of historic shrines anu as public attractions. ' Acl i i g under that resolution, Dr, Christopher Ch-ittenden, head of Archives and History, at first declined to let the students use the halls for their meeting. Later, at a conference between Dr. Crittenden, Speaker Pat Taylor and Bob Spearman of the University at Chapel Hill and president of the State Stu-. dent Legislature it was decided to let the students use the halls this year. It also was decided to name a commlttei^ sttidy

This study makes sen e. The halls are beautiful, and are historic shrines in s:

of the word. The original furniture Is In them, and it is necessary to protect the furniture^ as well as the halls them.selves.

There is no real reason why

any meeting, except onr for purely ceremonial reasons, should be held lirthe two cham-~ bers. The Trustees of the University of North Carolina * i-ditlonally meet in them, but there are other places here which could be used just as well.

In making its study of the use of the old Capitol, the legislative committee also should look into possibilities of fuller use of all the facilities of the new Legislative Building. As of now. the legislators have resolutely refused to permit any outside group to use mos* of the facilities of the building. Including the House and Senate chambers. Perhaps that complete prohibition of such use should be continued, perhaps not. But. this would be a good time to look into the matter.

Reasonable public use of the facilities of the building wouldnt seem to be out of Ur If that use to made at a time when there Is no possibility of any conflict with Asscmbljr

The ticker-tape parade has been arranged, but as Ulbricht gets near Shepheards Hotel. I' have arranged for several hundred students to set fire to his car.

Who has been standing in the way of a free Aslan anti-Com-munist mUltary alliance? The SEATO nations.- including de Gaulles France, were sujk posedly joined ti^ether to perform the function of a NATO for Southeast Asia. But this organization by no means included all the natural enemies of Communism in Asia, and it has been moribund now for a, long time. The blame for pai-sivtty tor Asia, however, is more properly attributable to the attitude of the United States, wMch has not wanted to provoke the Red Cfhlnese by seeming to create any cordon sanltalre between the East Asiatic mainland and Hawaii.

In Ms diplomatic way Ambassador Ramos remarked that the United States need not feel alarmed over this proposed alliance of antl-Communlst nations. It to a Union, not against, but In support of th United States.

This, translated ^into n o n-dlpltnnatic speech, lidds up to a gentle reproof to the United States for having been alarmed all alcmE at active anticommunist maneuvers by the Taiwan Chinese or the Pili-ponos.

A cohesive military alliance of anti-Communist nations in Asia would pool the forces of the Japanese, the South Koreans, the Taiwan Chinese, the Filipinos, the SMith Vietnunese, the Malaysians, the Thais'and, possibly, India. It could result In a sizeable trrqy^ ready to fight e d Chinese Imperallsm wherever It may move Into direct action outside of Chinese territory on the Asiatic mainland.

All over the country, commuter services are collapsing.

OTHER VAIN HOPES

Ceveral proposals have been made to deal with the problem. One is that the federal government subsiiilze commuter lln-e.s. Thats politically unwise, because people living in citle.s, or living In farm lands, dont want to pick up the bills for suburbanites, many of whom are In fairly high brackets.

Its affairs do not get out jot that it may have to

and for the most part we make a pretty fair mess of the whole thing. But this does not do-erease to the slightest degree the factnhat God to etUl In charge of His creation,! that He knows what Is going on. that He permits sin and mtotiikee to happen (He does not cause them), and that He will bring everytMng to a just and fitting end at the last Upon such hope all really atable life must be bum.

ferry service# have glveri up trying to carry cwnmuters in and out of New York at a profit.

WHAT TO DO?

Similar situations exist'' around almost every large city in the nation. People have bt>en moblng out to suburbia and beyond.'often relying on long eMfthU.<!hed eommuter roads that charged moderate fares.

LMER

ROESSNER

Now the railroads are saying they eiimac $ifOrd to hatfl them

Another proposal to that existing conunuter lines be merged with city transit lines. In New York, for Instance, It to being suggested that the incoming railroad ^commu ter. services be merged with the city transit system, which is losing money so fast that the 15 cent fare to not long for Gotham.

Westchester, the county between New York and Connecticut, to talking about a $4CK)'.*i (XX) - a - year subsidy to keep the New Haven. Other planners talk about systems of bus e s linked to the railroads.

Still othera say, If people want to live In the suburb and the country, then they should be willing to pay high commutation fares to get to work in the city. Why should the rest of us bother?"

Thats a plausible argument. But there are some economlor facts that knock It out.

Rail transportation costs are liskiff sharply. Much of ths commuter equipment to over age In grade. Maintenance and * repair costs have risen. Wag-. cs have shot up and up.

When railroads could make

fat profits on freight, they dldti

ItTH. mind modest commuter looses; in fact, that was good advertising But truoka have rolled off with the cream ot short - haul local freight: they have captured even the beat mall contracts.

If the law of supply and demand still prevlals. why then eaooot the t^mtiroads almpty

ral commuter- ratea^to cost levels? If It costs $1(X) a month to bring Joe Smith frj>m East Duddy to Metropolis, why shouldnt he pay that? Life in East Duddy may be worth It.^ If It isnt, Joe can move closer to the city. You pay for what you get. Isnt that basic economics?

The trouble to auto and the highway. If the commuter line boo.sts Its fare even by as much as $10 a month. Joe will use hto auto to drive In. In fact, he might even form a car pool and travel for less than he does now. He may miss that bridge game on the train, but a buck is a buck.

So the answer does not lie In government grants nor In merger with faltering c 11 y transport systems. The answer lies somewhere among the elements of buses, bus . rail combinations, more car pools, taxes on buslnesc that want employees In from the siiburhs, more parking lots In the city (or perhaps higher park 1 n g fees to force commuters back on trains), monorails, automated trains or a dosen other IdiM. some not yH thought up. But tbere to no easy xohipon.

Inside the big oireular main hall, with Its seats In tiers, a desk in front of each, were the Inevitable receivers with the tiny earplugs for the Interpre* ters, for not everyone here siwke or understood Bngllsh perfectly. There was an atmosphere of great tension. At the door Temple received each delegate, who glanced at once at the center table, where thj^ johalrman would

Arthur Donovan, aged thlrty-slx, a South African of English descent who was known u a car salesman and a commission agent. Word had been sent to Piw-ioilijpr more Information about him. He bad been flown into London on the same plane as Van Dlesek, According to the report, he had been killed while Dawllsh had fought to get his gun.

Now and again mMt men glanced at the clocks on the wall, four clocks so that everyone could see In c(nfort.

The session was due to start at eleven o'clock.

It was one minute to eleven when Temple had a algnal from one of the guards within sight: Dawllsh was approaching. As the opening hour approached, a hush fell upon the men and women here, as If by common assent they wanted to wait for Dawllsh.

Temple thought bleakly that even before this erlsla. before the great headlines which had splashed acroas the morning newspapers. Dawllsh had been the best-known man among all of these.

Dawllsh appeared; hla face was like atone.

He did not appear to see Temple. but as he passed he gripped his chief assistants forearm; the grip was firm but told Temple nothing. Dawllsh walked down the shallow steps toward the rostrum. As heads turned he was recognized, and something which Temple had never seen before happened. It had never happened In the history of the Crime Haters.

Every delegate stood up and stood still.

Dawllsh passed through the ranks of silent men.

Temple, Just behind him, felt tears stinging his eyes. It was a long, long time since he had felt emotion like It. He wondered how Dawllsh must be feeling and prayed that the newt about Felicity was not worse; for if It was, she was dead.

Dawllsh reached the rostrum.

Phone. At an costs, Dawtlkh UAd himself, he must keep hie voice fteady.

"Oood morning," be eaid. Pleaee sit dm," He remained standing aa the nietie of movs-ment followed. When 'everyone else wee eeated, he went on; "Thank you very muoh Indeed. You will wish to know" - he glanced up, paueed, and mdUten-ed his Upe "how my wife Is. At least I oan say that she ^ no worse. I am not qualified to go into detalle, but X am told that the preeeures on the brain have created a state of coma^ and there f$ ho oertatnty When she wUl come round from this condition.**

He ibeufht, **And no cerUln-ty that she ever will."

The mass of people in front Gt and aQ about him teemed to merge together, until there wu only a conglomeration of heads and facet, eyes and notes, ears and mouths. Savagely he thought. Get a hold on yoorself. His hands were so tightly clenched that hie nails hurt his palms.

Then almost to hie eurprlee he found himself saying: *Tf any news comes while we are in session I wlU tee that you know at oooe. Meanwhile I hope you will forgive me if I proceed very quldy with the business of the session. One or two amendments to the agenda first. The minutes of the lart session, having bei circulated, will not be read, but matters arising may of course be discussed.

"Item four on the agenda will not now be Introduced by Colonel van ,Dlettek of ^torla. I have been asked by Pretoria through through the High Com-miseloner In South Aftica House to present this myself, and with your permission I wUl do so from my chair.*

There were a few murmurs of approval, a few raised bands, but no hint of diseent.

"Now," Dawllsh thought. "I've got to get through this without wondering every minute how she Is **

He had read and reread Van Dleseks report, made notea, checked ww point against another, double - checked wherever he could. Ho did not think there was much In the report he did not now understand, although only Van Dlesek, who had lived with the Investigation, could have Interpreted everything.

He had twice visited and four times telephoned the hospital during the night apd had Just come from there now. Until he had started his walk he had seen nothing but Felicitys face everywhere, but the spontaneous action of these great pollcem e n wrenched his mind off her. Tears stung his eyes.

The struggle In Asia Is actually between anti - Communist and Communist Asiatics, and. in Wedemeyers estimation, It is wrong for the United States to keep the Filipinos and the Taiwan Chinese and the South Koreans from taking a more active part In their own fight.

An open alUance of the free nations of Eastern Asia would be the logical retort to Red China's de facto alUance with Sukamoe Indonesia.

Christ Giving Keys to 8t, Peter*

Then said Jesus unto his disetplas, If any man will come after me, lat him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.** Matthew 16:24.

V--

Should know it now; and If they did not kjiow, Hi.-? mission had failed. Thus He asked the disciples who men were saying He wa.s.

The disciples* answer failed to Him and He made the question more .personal: what did the disciples themselves think of Him, for they had all -been with Him long enough to know who He truly was.

Becau.se Peter was usually the Spokesman for aU the disciples, v-e believe that allwith the possible exception, of Judas Iscariotagreed with. Peter in his confession of Chiist as the Bon of the living God.

The anxiety with which Christ Bsked this searching question is revealed In His joy and relief at Peters answer. Here, for the first time in the Gospels, our Lord specifically calls an Individual blessed.** And Christ is veil aware that the answer came not from Peter's own frail knowledge and opinion, but was revealed to Him by the Father In Heaven.

for which He conferred upon Peter. The keys are the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ and personal witness of Jesus Christ, the only means by which men are admitted into the Kingdom.

The keys, properly used, are the power for saving men, not for. barring from salvation; for admittance to the Kingdom of heaven, not for barring from the Church of Christ. And any man who has sincerely and completely accepted Jesus Christ aa his Savior, who walks after the Holy Spirit in fellowship and cooperation with all other men, indeed holds the keys to the Kingdom of God.

Because the Kingdom of Jesua is not of this world, the keys confer no political authority or power; their pow*er is spiritual, that of holy and redemptive in-

VWth his deity acknowledged, Christ discloses His mission to build a church designated as His own, of which He will be the bead. The word Christ used for church was ecclesia, a combination of Greek verbs meaning to call out of.** What a perfect descriptive word for the Church Of Christ, for that is what all true Christians are^men and

vomen called out from darkiv-ss

fluence, and are to be exercised primarily in the saving of men.

After forbidding the disciples to begin immediately proclaiming Him the Son of God, Jesus began to talk of His coming suffering and death* upon tha Cross, and His rising from tho dead on the third day. When Peter protested against Christa death, Jesus reprimanded him sharply for paying hped only to the things of man and failing to submit to the will of God, even though we lo.se our very lives for His sake, for only then .shall we find life again in tho Kingdom of God.

NBW YORK (AP) - Inventor Theodore A. Rich, who hu 97 pttenU. ays It's time that Invention was regarded u a profession Instead of a Joke.

people tfiihk of an fcvcnW as a kind of nut who sits In an attic dreamltig up gadgets." Rich says. "A professional Inventor doesnt even rate a title as such In industry.

Rich, a senior engineer at the General Electric Co. advanced technology laboratories at Schenectady, N.Y., Is one of the most prolific inventors in the company's history.

in addition to patents already granted, he has ai)out 13 more pending. Now 59, Rich has averaged mora than two patentohla inventions a year since he was a 112.30-a'Week technician at OS's Lynn. Mass., laboratory in 1926.

His inventions have ruged from a World War II sulMiiarine detector to a device for keeping electric clocks on time. Most have been complex measuring devices for gauging radiation, electric current and the size and electrical charge of air particles. His work with air particles -has gained him wide recognition

in atmospheric physics.---

Rich said Ih an interview that he feels Industry should encourage development of more Idea men like himself researchers who are essentially inventors rather Utan technical experts. While invention In Industr., often comes under the broad heading of research and development. he feels there Is too much emphasis on analysis of facts, not enough on putting facts together.

In a company like our% Rich says, about one-third of our products werent even thought of 46 yoara^ ago. Now if that much of our bu.slness comes from Inventors why shouldn't Invention be regarded as a profession?

Invention, he feels, is more Imagination than brains.

We're living in an age oi the expert and the specialist who thinl.s he has to be right every time he opens his mouth, the Inventor says. To inventr^you have to take a chance on being

Citation To Recruiter

Rich estimates that perhaps one of every 13 of his ideas have produced a patentable Inven-

tion. So important have his

Ideas been that In 1960 Ihe Insti

tute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers presented him Its Leed.s Award for outstanding creative work In . electrical

measurement. His own company has three times given him Its highest technical recognition, the Charles A. Coffin award.

from Oraanvifla Mayer a citation for outttanding achiavamant In Air Parca recruiting in the Oraanvilla area.

Staff Sergeant James L. Lesley was presented a citation yesterday by Greenville Mayor 8. Eugene West In recognition of outstanding. achievement in Air Force recriting to the Greenville area.

A letter with the award noted the outstanding calibre of enlistees among whom there was a zero elimination during basic and technical training.

Lesley commented that I think this award was pocsible in view of the high educational level In the Greenville area. I fee: the high schools should be commended on the calibre of young men and women they are producing, he told West.

I am accepting this award on behalf of Greenville and its educators and the many people who helped me in successful accomplishment of the Air Foret recruiting mission, he continued.

The award Is signed by General J. W. McElroy, commander in charge of Air Force recruiting services.

Low Ayden Dropout Rate; Students Closely Knit

AYDEN - Ayden High School, unlike most schools, has a phenomenally low drop-out rate. During the past year, the figure dropped below two percent.

Bonnie Tumage, the student Homecoming Queen, seemi to think that the closely-knit ato-mosphere of the student body has something to do with the willingness of the students to stay in school. ^

We have a good faculty. comments Miss Tumage. East | Carolina College has also helped with the situation by supplying us with student teachers who seem interested in education. j Johnny Buck, president of the student body, regards the school as the principal means of self-Improvcment. More of us are realizing the significance of a college education, he remarks. He goes on to say that to

getherness keynotes student activities. Leaders Influence the other students.

"Ayden is a friendly school," contlnuea Johnny. We feci fret to say hello to anyone.

The student body presldsnt notes that the size of the school enables individuals to receive at-tentlwi that they might not otherwise get.

We have 250 i^udents which to us is a convenient size. This individual attention coupled with the facilities and faculty is not available to smaller schools. says Johnny.

The students of Ayden High School regard this recognltlwi of Individual students most highly, and may credit this point with the high percentage of students who prefer to be to school rather than out.

The Greenville Board cation has received a petition, similar to one presented the County Board in January, call ing on the body to cease oper

on a racial basis.**

The petition, dated January 22, i3io requests the bbanl ta *^come forth with a plan to operate the schools under'your Jurisdiction without regard to race as to teachers, students, and other school personnel. It was pre

sented for consideration at the Boards regular monthly meeting last night.

Bearing the names of 79 children and their wrciits, the petition was submitted to the board by Heber Green (rf Greenville,

(tf Education has ope" "d the CiW School system or 'acial basta piior to and s: 1^;

that all initial assignn.v! .s are based entirely on race in that all, white children are assigned to white schools and all Negro children are assigned by Negro

schools; and that all children beginning their first year in school are enix^led on the basis of race."

Chairman Dr. E. B. Aycock noted that the petition was received despite the fact that two

Aycock said it was a paradox* that such a petition should be submitted since no student has been denied transfer, and

has already taken steps towaid deaegregation.

MOULTRIE. Ga, fAP)-Most of the Georgia and Florida tobacco growers who spoke at a congressional hearing . said they preferred the present acreage allotment program to proposed acreage-poimdage controls. Generally they were against any change in the regulations now In force for growing and selling Type 14 flue-cured tobacco.

More than 25 fanners testified Thursday before the Tobacco subcommittee of the House Agricultural Committee. They

he said.

Growers have contended Type 14 tobacco should not be Jlotted on the same basis as types grown in other states because only 2.16 per cent of Georgia-Plorida tobacco went into the goveniment loan program ih 1964. _

UN Assembly In Lengthy Recess

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (API The General Assembly ended one of the stormiest sessions in U-N. history Thursday night and recessed until Sept. 1 after the United States checkmated an Albanian move to force an East-West showdown.

Applause rang out as Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson announced that the United States would^ agree to. a procedural ballot demanded by Albania and would not challenge the Soviet Unions right to vote.

Red Chinas UvN. spokesman. Halim Budo of Albania, boasted that he had strong support. But a 97-2 vote swamped his demand that the assembly organize for normal business. There were 13 abstentions, of which France was the only major power. Mauritania voted with Albania.

The assembly approved by acclamation an interim budget and the appointment of a multi-nation conimtttce to study the problem of U.N. peace-keeping.

The assembly adjourned at 7:51 p.m. following a sharp exchange in the closing moments between Stevenson and Soviet Delegate Nikolai T. Fedorenko.

Criticizing Stevenson for announcing that he was withholding the U.S. challenge on voting rights. Fedorenko declared, The United States cannot set itself up as an arbiter on whether this forum can vote or not."

Stevenson retorted that he had thought the Soviet Union wanted to avoid a show'down at this stage and demanded to know why Fedorenko did not voice his objections before the ballot.

Change

WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara fitrongly hints he will recommend a change in draft policies when he reports to President Johnson on the problem In April.

McNamara. In a report to the House Armed Services Committee on the nations military strength, indicated that some modiflcatlixi will be necessary in the Selective Service System because of a growing surplus In draft-age men,

And that, he observed, compounds the difficulty of deciding fairly which young men will be called up and when.

McNamara began reading his lengthy statement on the de

fense posture at a closed meeting of the committee Thursday. He returns today and is not expected to be able to finish his testimony before Tuesday. ^

But it all depends on how many questions the committee members ask him," a committee stwrce said.

In the censored and much slKH'tw its still 207 pages version made public Thursday, McNamara touched on practically every defense problem from Jungle warfare and fallout shelters to manpower.

The defense secretary noted that President Johnson had ordered the manpower study last April.

All reasonable alternatives

tobacco is grown.

Several of the farmers said that If there had to be a change in the present program the allotments should be based on poundage. #

Fred Voight of Ware County specifically objected to the use of the word acreage in the proposal,

Lets drop the word acreage and use poundage control only after Type 14 has been given a fair appraisal with the types of tobacco grown in other areas."

The building will be located on the east side of Roanoke Ave., between 7th and 8th St.

RALEIGH. N.C. (AP) - The state commissioner of correction is asking the North Carolina General Assembly to approve a $6 million request for a KX) - student state training school.

Blaine Madison made the request Thursday. He said the stated correctional schools are packed, with students sleeping in the halls and classes being held in a gymnasium.

At this moment we have more than 100 children on waiting lists," Madison said. He added he knew of two youths, 14 and 15, who are in prison because there is no room in state correctional schools.

W. C. Cohoon, director of the State Probation Commission, asked for $l million to employ 55 new probation officers. He said all his officers now have case loads of 90-95, compared to the recommended load of 60-65.

Both requests were for funds over the amounts recommended by the Advisory Budget Commission for the next biennium.

Dr. William C. Archie, director of higher education, appeared before the House Higher Education Committee Thursday to discuss the proposal to make Charlotte College the fourth campus of the University of

North Carolina.

Reps. A. A. Zollicoffer of

Vance, Paul J. Story of McDowell and Allen Barbee of

Nash aU indicated they had reservations about the cost of converting the college into a unl-versity unit,

Zollicoffer stated he understood the people of Cliarlotte

want medical and engineering schools at the CHiarlotte campus and asked how much this would cost.

William C. Friday, president of UNC, said he could not answer the question. He added that such proposals w'ould have to be studied over a period of years.

Weve got to expand in university work and I think (Tliar-lotte College is the place to do it, Friday said.

Tlie Senate pas.sed two bill cutting the ties between the state and the North Carolina Dental Society to avoid Integration.

The measures would elbnl-natc a provision requiring the dental society to nominate persons for membership on the Mental Health Council and the Medical Care Commission.

to the present system, including the possibility of meeting onr requirements on an entirely voluntary basis at some time in the next decade, are being explored, McNamara said.

McNamara didnt mention it but one problem has already arisen. Just the knowledge that a possible end of the draft is being considered, the Pentagon reports, has led to a drop in Army enlistments and a corresponding increase in the draft quota. ___.1____________

While all our .^experience since the end of World War' II underscores the Important role, of the draft In the proper manning of our armed forces, the large Increase in the number of yoimg men reaching draft age (18 years), begiimmg in 1965. will create a difficult problem of managing the draft in an equitable manner. the defense secretary said.

As an example McNamara said tlK! nun^iber of men reaching age 18 last year w'as somewhat less than 1.5 million. This .vear the number will jump by about 500,000 and average about 2 million a year over the next decade.

Since the annual replacement needs of the military seiwices arc expected to stay relatively stable about JOO,000 per year in 196,5-06a declining propoff-tion of the men eligible for the draft will need to be called up.*

r General, Lee Rong was crying this morning ^hen he came in.

It seems that during the past week, he missed a predictors dream week by three games. He hit 2^ of 29 games. And he felt hed been robbed. f

The thing about it, he moeiiied, is. that all three o| the misses came by a single point. Just one more basket by each of those three teams, ad^ Td have a peiTect week.f

Well, General, they tell me that close only counts in horse shoes. Better luck the next time, I consoled.

*Yes, r guess youre right. After all, getting as many right as I did was probably, something of a record.

Okay, but lets get down to business. The hasktbaT seasoh Ts run hihg Its last 1 ap right now, and theres not much more predicting to do on this sport*'^^-_

Right you are, the General said. Maybe I can hit it this week.

First off. Rose takes to the road tonight to meet Roanoke Rapids. The Phants have been doing fairly well during the past few games, but so have the Yellow Jackets. Im afraid that Rose will go down in this one.

In other Northea.stern games. New Bern will top Jacksonville, Kinston will down Washington, and West Carteret will take Elizabeth City.

Aronnd- the-county, as-the-"Pi11 loop finishes up its regular season, Grifton wil] take Bethel, Ayden will down Belvoir, Farmville wdll win over Stokes and Grimesland will beat Chocowinity.

Saturday night, East Carolina plays host to Atlantic Christian. The Bucs have wrapped up ft .500 eeason and after this game, theyre going to be even better off. The Bucs should have little trouble here.

Elsewhere in the Southern, William & Mary wiU nip. RichnmiuL Virginia. TeiOi^ w Wo&t

Virginia, Davidson will rout The Citadel, and George Washington will take Pitt.

Tuesday. Rose travels to Elizabeth City, and the Phantoms should be able to take that one.

In other Northeastern games,'^Kinston will bomb Jacksonville, New Bern will down Roanoke Rapids, and Washington will beat Tarboro. Thursday, Elizabeth City pays -a visit to Rose, and again the Phantoms should triumph.

Monday, the Pitt County tournament opens, and unless the picture is changed by tonights games, Ill go with Farmville and Ayden to make the finahs in ..the boys division.

In the Southern Conference tournament, opening Thursday, Davidson must l)e favored at this point, but therell be a belter look at this next week._______

Just 72 hours ago, Richmonds Spiders werent sure theyd be around for the Southern Conference championship basketball tournament starting next Thursday at Charlotte, N.C.

Now the Spiders nof o-'^v are certain of a tournament berth, but theyre equally sure they wont have to meet Davidsons top-seeded Wildcats In the opening round.

A 91-76 victor., Tiursday night over Furmans Paladins made certain the Spiders would ftnifih no lower than se\enth regardless of the outcome of their final game Saturday might at William and Mary.

Virginia Military Listitutes Keydets also made a bid i escape the No. 8 spot Thursday night when they surprised George Washington's Colonials 87-79. Now. however, the defending champion.s must await the outcome of the Richmond-W&M encounter to see where theyll finish.

With only that one game left Involving the bottom c teams, Richmond stands 6-9.

SERVICE-TOONS

William and Mary 5-8 and VMO 5-9.

The Kcydcts only hope of avoiding a first-round meeting with Davidson is a Richmond victory. That would lie VMI and William and Mary.-but the Kcy-dets would get the No. 7 spot by virtue of having scoi. J the mo.^t points as the two teams split even during the season.

Charlie Sclimaus was the architect of the VMI victory, pouring In :14 points as the Kcy-dets dropped GW to 6-7 in the conferciicc and ruined the Colonials chances of beating West Virginia. 7-6 with a game to play, out of foiirtli place in the standings, Joe Knuszewskl added 25 points for VMT.

Father Cronin said he and other officials of the university got Uie impression from ticking to Phillips and Williams that they were really victimized.

Peller said that hswi it been a professional gambler, they wouldnt have talked to him. Father Cronin said. But It was a fellow he knew. He thought be was kidding. He gave them apparently a big song and dance. They were just taken for a

ride.

Father Cronin said Phillips told of meeting Casale In Chicago during a trip by the Seattle team in December, and the priest said the figure $130 was mentioned in his conversation with Phillips, but no money went to Williams or Wheeler.

Phillips, whose home is Detroit, was a student with Casale in Coallnga, Galtf Junior College.

Williams remained unavailable for comment, but Phillips said he Intends to plead innocent at a preliminary hearing in Seattle March 1. Bi discussing the charge in the presence of his attorneys, Phillips declared, I do feel Im Innocent,

His expression was glum as

be was interviewed and said:

I feel very bad this came about like this, because a lot of people have been shocked. Im hoping they wont judge me, or Charlie, until were proven Innocent ...

The young athlete said he felt particularly bad that he and Williams had been hung in effigy from a flagpole at the unl-ver^ty Thursday.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)-State Sen. Ralph Scott said today the ^00 miUi(m road bond i>ropos8l might meet atiff opposition at the polls unless voters assured the money wtU be spent In their interest, not in the interest of private contractors. The people are anxious to have the roads, the Alamance County legislator said, but If there is any indication of any payoff, it will be difficult to get It across.*

The Roads Committees of the House and Senate voted una-mously Thursday to ,'ve the bond Issue bill a favorable report. Scott is a member of the Senate committee.

Scott, brother of the late Gov. W. Kerr Scott and uncle of Lt. Gov. Bob Seott. Indicated he would have more to say about the bill when It reaches the Senate Finance Committee.

The senator said, however, he was fully behind the rolad bond proposal and would urg'e the people to vote for it if it clears the General Assembly.

The governor has certainly left that Impression that he wants to get the state out of the road business, Scott continued. The people Will want to know more about just where the money will go.

Moore told a news conference* on June 5, 1964: I have absolutely no idea of liquidating the Highway Department. But we should contract out those jobs where we would get the best return on the taxpayers dollars Moore charged on another occasion during the primary campaign that the state was sub-' mlttlng only 30 per cent of Its road building projects to competitive bidding. He said it would cost less, in some cases, to let private contractors do the work.

During the primary campaign, Edwin L. Jones, president of the J. A. Jones Construction Co. of Charlotte sent a letter to other contractors in the tate saying:

We should work toward the ,goal of having the State Highway department doing less maintenance and new construe- I Uon work with its own forces

each year until it phases itself out of this costly work.

Sen. Scott was a supporter of L. Richardson Preyer during the Democratic primaries. He Issued a statement in March 1964 labeling Moore the candidate of special interests and lobbyists.

The bill states that $150 million of the bond money wkild be used for primary roads and $150 million would be divided evenly between urban streets and rural secondary roads. Just who will do the work is up to the State Highway Commission and the Moore Administration.

The House received a bill calling for a $10,000 payment to the survivors of any fuJtime state lawman killed or permanently disabled In the line of duty. It was introduced by Rep. Q. A. Forbes of Pitt.

Under the measure, the families of slain state troopers Bill Herbln and James M urn would receive a tax-free $10,000 award. The bill Is retroi.rtlve to Jan. 1, 1964, to cover the cases of Herbin and Marsh-bum, slain on duty in separate incidents.

AP Television-Radio Writer

NEW YORK (AP) - Lesley Ann Waxren is the Qnderella-girl of Cinderella itself, a really unknown young dancer-slnger who almost a year ago was chosen by Richaru Rodgers to play the title role ki the new, rewritten production of ^he old fairy tale.

It will be seen on CBS next Monday night.

In one way. Lesley Anns recent history has been more that of The Sleeping Princess than Cinderella. Rodgers 90-minute musical was taped way back last October. Since then the young New Yorker has been patiently awaiting discovery by playing in the national company of 110 in the Shade.

In fact, on the night television audiences will be seeing the young woman for the first time, she will playing her featured part in a Toronto theatre, presumably with her fingers crossed.

The slender, graceful performer was auditioned by Rodgers twice. The first time she

tried to sing My Funny Valentine, but was so tense that the gentle Rodgers suggested she read lines Instead. Called back, she felt more secure and. out of all the hundreds of applicants was chosen.

Cinderella was originally produced and broadcast several years ago for CBS and for a time held the all-time record for the estimated size of its audience. But Rodgers was not happy with his'' work, and changed it from broad farce to the delicate mood of a classic fairy tale.

The 90-minute special will Include plenty of Rndgers music, including one song written for South Pacific but cut out when the show ran too long.

Lesley Ann, in her early 20s. has her eye on a film career.

Fate of The Defenders. CBS most honored entertainment show, will be decided be-f('e the week is out. It has been ki ratings trouble since It was moved into a difficult late-eve-nlng Thursday spot this year. ^

First Visit Of A U.S. President

By JOHN O. DUNCAN As far as It can b* ascertained George Washingtoo was the, only Presldtnt whil* In ottio to visit put County.

At any rat* b* was th* first President to come to the county.

Next April 19th It will be exactly 174 years since the wheels of hi* carriage stirred up local

dust. And the visit of the President would become over the years a part of the stories passed (m down through Pitt County family gatherings.

That Is. until such time when It would be lodged In a few smaB^ paragraphs of a local history book and promptly forgotten by most.

But It belongs to th* county and U* people for In It* day U was an event of some Importance.

For It seems that even though Washington wasnt Impres sod favorably by the trip he at least took time to pen his Impressions about the village on the Tar and an Inn at Crown Point.

Richness Of Land Gave Toda/s Name: Pactolus

By JOHN G. DUNCAN

PACTOLUS. N.C. - This old village in Pitt County has known many things during Its day. Back in 1790 a man by the name of Lincoln is aald to have settled near here. Lincoln, a school teacher, was impressed by the rich soli of the area. It reminded him of such an area in his native land of Greece. So In 1810 he gave the place a name Pactolus.

For 155 years the name has stuck to the sleepy little village In the rich farm lands of County Pitt.

In those days long before the railroad, and motor oar came, Yankee Hall, It was an Important landing on the Tar. Much of Pactolus early growth was due to this fact.

Interest ki education was apparent as early as 1832 when an Academy was started at Jordan Plains a few miles from Pactolus.

Churchill Perkins, started the first store at Pactolus, this was in 1840. Soon the village was the focal point for farmers of the area.

In 1849 another'^Acadtmy came Into being, the one at Jordan Plains having gone out of extet-ance. The new Academy was called the Midway Male and Female Academy.

Stock Traders Quick

To Get War Jitters

By SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK (AP) Professional stock traders can come down with war Jitters faster than most folks can catch the common cold. Rumors, or Just uncertainty about what friend or foe may have in mind, can bring on a tumble In the stock market, and usually a simultaneous rise In some commodity prices.

After a long climb to record highs, stock prices have been particularly vulnerable of late. Traders also are nervous about what will happen to the overseas expansion of U.S. corporations and to the profitable loans by U.S. banks to foreigners, now that President Johnson wants these curtailed voluntarUy-or else.

Why should stock traders fear the effect of war on stock prices, when the public often thinks of a war effort as leading to frenzied Industrial activity?

The answer is that the stock

Rep. Tunney To Address YDC

JULIAN, N. C. Tohrt" Oil-more, President of the Young Democratic Clubs of North Carolina announced today that Congressman John V. Tunney !).-Cal.) will be the featured speaker at the 29th Annual Y. D. C. Installation banquet in Durham,

Saturday, Febraary 27. ^ - - rhlstories

Tunney, 81-year--:^'.u on of former heavyweight boxing champion Gene Tunney, is from

Bide and represents Cadfornlas 3Rth congressional Dlstnot. He will be Introduced by Congressman Horace R. Komegay of Greensboro.

In defeating his opponent, W Incumbent Republican, by 10.000 votes last November, Tunney had the campaign asslMance of Gene Tunney. Jack Dempsey and Senator Ted Kennedy. The elder Tunney and Dempsey, close lends since the time of vhelr famous championship fights, toured the 38th district on be-half of the young Congressman.

market Is the auction place for the shares of thousands of corporationsand a majority of these would be hurt, at least at first, by any outbreak of war involving the United States.

War disrupts the profitable activity of the consumer goods businessesand these are the majority. It takes time to switch to production of goods wanted by the military. During that time the government usually clamps on wage and price controls. and stiff taxes on any increased profits.

The recent bombing of North Viet Nam military bases by U.S. and South Viet Nam planes set off a two-day drop of 19 points in the closely watched Dow-Jones Index of 30 industrial stocks. It was the sharpe.st drop since the 27 minutes the New York Stock Exchange stayed open after the assassination of President John P. Kennedy, \ hen the Index fell 21 points.

The previous bombing of North Viet Nam. called the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, caused a 7.58 drop in the index. Nikita Khrushchevs ouster, because It spelled International uncertainty, sparked a 6.74 decline.

As war rumors fade, the market usually rights Itself fairly fast. An example Is the Cuba missile scare. The market had the war Jitters, but when Russia hacked down, the market rallied sharply and started to new heights. Earlier war scares, such as the Berlin airlift and the confrontation with Red China over Matsu and Quemoy In the Formosa Strait, had similar

NEW YORK N. Y. Suburban dwellers boast a higher economic status than their city counterparts, according to statls. ticians of ^tropolltan Life Insurance Company.

This wa* observed in most standard metropolitan statistical areas with populatlwis of from one to two million persons In 1960. The higher statu* Is true, the statisticians said, whether the criterion of measurement be educational attainment, occupation, or income.

In all but three of the 14 areas studied, the proportion of families with incomes of at least $10,000 was greater In the suburban areas than in their cen-,iral cities. Only In Seattle, San Diego, and Dallas was the proportion somewhat higher within the central city than outside.

In general, adults with at least a high school education were relatively more numerous In suburbia than in the city. In Cleveland and in Newark and Paterson, New Jersey, the proportion for the euburbs was nearly double that for the central city. It was at least one-third greater in the suburbs of Baltimore, Buffalo and Milwaukee, the statisticians said.

At "Lower Taft Landing" on the Tar River once stood a large house hewed on logs. Known as "Bucks Bam" It served as a Jail during the Revolution.

in the village.

Pactolus wa* a part of the picket line guarding Pitt County.

Headquarters for the area north of the Tar wa* located at Gray Littles place near Pactolus.

more more more more more e The biggest battl* fought near the village wa* on June 5, 1862 at Tranter* Creek.

The body of Colonel Slngel-tary. killed in that battle. Is said to have been brought back to Pactolus.

Waris End After the war ended, Pactolu* along with the rest of the county saw hard times. [

One of the stories about that rough period known as the reconstruction era had some its setting in Pactolus. It is the story about Riddick Carney, the Pitt Countlan who never gave up his hatred for the Yankees.

Riddick Carney, lived Just across Orindle Creek on the left hand side of the present road going towards Stokes.

In 1866 a Union squad under the command of a Lieutenant surrounded Carneys house and demanded that he surrender.

When there was no answer to his demand, the Union officer went into the house.

The officer ki his search, started up the stairs. He was met by a shotgun blast that almost tore his arm off.

The soldiers started back to their base at Washington with the wounded officer. In Pactolus the Lieutenant died of his wounds.

Other attempts to seize Carney failed and it seemed as If he would always continue his defiance of the occupying Authorities. But one time the die-hards luck ran out. He was captured and started on his way to Washington.

On the way back the petrol and its prisoner stopped at Churchill Parkins house in Pao-tolus.

But luck was with Carney and he escaped from his capture by climbing out a window and ran off Into the woods.

In April 1868 Carney was killed and his house burned by the Union MiUtla.

Even though this happened almost TOO yers ago, you can still hear about Riddick Carney down Pactolus way.

Years of Growth During the days of the steamboat Pactolus benefited from the goods brought Into the landing at Yankee Hall by the boats.

But the real growth of the village began when the railroad came In 1892.

So bright was the outlook that the area around the railroad was laid off Into building lots and

In all there were 147 l(^s and some 76 were marked sold.

The railroad brought much to Pactolus in addition to the freight hauled on its cars.

New names become house-

hold words, and train time quite an event.

Names like Capt. Ellsworth, engineer Leens and Hardy Duke and ^other who ran the train added to the romance and luster of shiny rails, black streams of smoke, white steam, and whistles calling out along the way.

Pactolus, greatest days were those when the railroad was king.

But the economic pic t u r e changed fast with the deoUne

of the railroad and the coming of the motor car and better roads.

And Now

What lie* ahead for this Pitt County village so rich in Its yesterdays? This small place o old trees and shady sandy streets and deserted stores. No longer la It a focal point for the farmer and those that live in tht couniry-aide.

It is only a few minutes ride to Greenville and Washington and the big stores.

Big trains from nearby Fertilizer dealers bring plant food for local farms.

Tractors have taken the Jobs once handled by many field hands. Those who at one time depended on local fields and woodlands for a living went to other areas to work.

Tenant farmers who patron-nlze local stores have lost out to the machine and up todate fanning methods moved away.

And with their going a big hole was cut In local trade. Perhaps the village will only be a nice quite place to live and to be part of someones memory for there Is nothing there to attract any Industry to the area.

Perhaps this is well enough a little village living ki this hurried modem age never too far from the main stream to be Isolated just enough distance to retain Its Identity with those yesterdays and the pace of those times.

"At 6 oclock 1 left Tarboroufb accompanied by sonoe of the most respectaUs people of tb* place for a few miles

All along the road aarly rlsars were lU roadaide to watch the mou* man pa*.

Soon th* Presidential party crossed over Into Pitt County.

Their route must have been along the same Une the biglnray 43 foUows today.

It wa* quite a sight to tbes* eyts that In their daUy Uves beheld mostly the changing color* of nature.

Washington's coach or "chariot" as be called It wa* painted white with design* of th* four seasons painted on the doors. Within oval* on the four quarter panel* was painted Washingtons coat of arms. Glass windows were tn front of the coach and the frame work and springs were gilded. It had plated door handles, plated bra** buckle* and plated moulding* around tb* roof.

Out riders dressed in bright red and white Uvery gave a dash of ext ^ color.

Behind the coach pulled by four horses was a Ught baggage and saddle horses.

And then It was gone this dash ol man made color gone out from their sights behind a cloud of dust.

And they eadi took back home with them as much of It as they could hold in their memories.

Of the white coach, the stem vlsaged men, the nod of head or wave of hand, the boundng outrider in red and white and the drift of dust on new leaves and upturned faces.

Greenville "dined at a trifling place called Greenville

The village of Greenville was a small knot of houses and stores bunched on the river and extending a few blocks south.

According to Henry T. King Washington Is said to have dined In a house known a* the Dr. Dick Williams house.

King states that the house then was standing (in the time he wrote his book) and j^t on the weather boarding near the front door could be seen marks of which were remains of Washingtons name written by the President himself on the occasion of his visit.

Other versUm* as to where the house where Washington din e d are also given. King also states ". . .a very highly respected citizen of Greenville, who died only a few years ago, (in Kings time), told this writer (King)

that the WttUams bouse wa* not the house at which President dined. but that wa* a bous* long Inc* remov*d that stood about where the southern part of the old Macon Hous* now stan^."

The old Macon Hous* Is Said to have been-in 4ha MoeA om* occupied by the Dally Reflector and office building.

This would plaea the bouse oe the comer of Cotaoebe and Third.

Another version places It on Fourth and Coianche.

BUt that be did have meal In Greenville Is proven in Washingtons own written words.

On to New Bora

When the party pulled out for New Bern he was joined by the Pitt Light Horse Troop under Captain Samuel 81mps(m.

From his diary. Washing ton points out his protest against Simpsons escort. "It ought to be mentioned that another small party of Horse under one Simpson met us at Greenville, and In spite of every endeavor which comports with decent clvUlty to excuse myself from it, they would attend me to New Bern.

Most likely it wasnt the Pitt escort that Washington objected to but to the fact Uiat the honm would kick up a cloud of dust.

The President seems to had an aversion to the dried particles of so4l flying through the air.

George Slept Here

"Lodged at one Allens, 14 m-es further, a very Indifferent house without staing which for the first time since I commenced my Journey were obliged to stand without cover."

The place was Shedrach Allens Inn at Crown Pdnt. It stood just south of Turkey Cook Swamp.

well known hostelry In its time.

It was probably located near present rural road 1725 which Is said to have been part of the old road to New Bern.

Allen had an estate of over 000 acres and quite a few slaves.

From 17M until 1790 the owner of this "Indifferent house, had served as mexBJ)er of the House of Commons of North Carolina.

Wednesday 20, 1791 "Left Alien* before breakfast," so reates the famous traveler as he continue* on his way.

Whether he left early because he couldnt stomach the thought eating at Shedrachs place or to steal a march on Simpson, dust ktdcy horses tot stated, but I guess he did.

Crossing over Into Craven County the President went to a Colonel Allens house.

Thinking the dwelling was a public house he ordered break-

In an hour or so the table was groaning under the sumptuotis reput; young pig, turkey, fried chicken, country ham. tausue, eggs every way, waffles, batter cakes and hot biscuits.

But to the dlnnay of his hOe-' ^ tess the President m^ered only a cup of coffee with a little rum In It and a boiled egg.

Poor Mrs. Alien, mutt have felt badly about this slighting of her food and effort.

But even If George want in an eating mood the others were and the food vanished quickly.

Soon the calvalcade wu on the road again and Pitt County wu lost back down the road.

The rest of it Is found In th* history books.

But it wu a time long rem*nv bered by natives of Pitt County.

And even If the President called the county seat a '^trifling i^ace" and a famous Inn an "indifferent house there wa* much worth recalling.

Today

It takes little leu than half an hour to go from Greenville to about where Shedrach Allen'i old Inn stood.

The face d! the county ha* changed much since that Api day a long ago.

Fields are wider and woodlands are farther bade.

And the only dust you find comes from the fields and side roads.

"Pi-actically every teenager we have tried this tcnn has been a dropout. the judge said. "Were going to find the cause.s and try to see what the remedy is. Many of them have dropped out before 16, a criminal offense."

"They arc not old enough to work and this is a preliminary to delinquency," he said.

He added, -^e are going to put on deliberate pressure to discourage these dropouts, Almost all the traffic in criminal court this week has revolved around dropouts."

WASHINGTON (AP) The United States is seeking more information on a Soviet explosion which sent radioactive material into the atmo.sphere.

The underground blast occurred Jan. 15. The limited test-ban treaty forbids nuclear explosions in which radioactivity passes beyond the testing nations boundaries.

U.S. aircraft picked up traces of radioactivity in the Sea of Japan area.

Since then, the United States has said it is checking to see whether the Russians violated the treaty. The Soviets say the radioactivity leaked Inadvertently and was insignificant.

C. K. Beatty haa been director of the Oreenvllle Public Works Department for more than 20 years. He has seen

Greenville progress, literally, from the ground up.

He has witnessed the gradual expansion and growth of the city In nearly every physical aspect. He has, by the very nature of his Job, been an active part of that growth and progress.

The citys 113.53 miles of

streets, paved and unpaved, are no strangers to him. The 5.441.92 acres of land, stone and steel

that is Greenville are long

familiar friends.

Service

Service** 1s Beattys succinct description of the work he and tha. 70 other employees^of the Public Worts Department carry

C. K. BEATTY

on. Service extending far beyond the well known work of paving, constructing, and maintaining the city streets.

Aside from that Job, in itseU a tremendous task. Beattys department is responsible for trash and garbage pick-up; leaf collection; litter patrol; malaria control: cemetary upkeep; and ^the erecting and maintaining of all traffic signs within the corporate limits (excluding signal

lights).---

These are not easy Jobs, nor are they inexpensively accomplished.

21.5 Percent Of Budget *We spend about one-fourth or better of the total budget of the town, Beatty says. It is not enough.

The 1964-65 budget allowed the Public Works Department $293,-725.45, plus the Powell BUI funds $92,490.64. Thats a tremendous slice of the annual budget for the city.

Though it is not. he says, enough, it is something like $225,000 more than the budget I had 20 years ago.

When Beatty first came to work for the Public Works Department, it employed about 25 people. A weeks pay for labor at that time was $12.

Today, the Department has an average weekly payroll of ap

proximately $3,878.

A few years ago, a new and larger ofce building and garage was buUt to,replace the badly overcrowded and much smaller one previously In use.

Beatty says It was a small garage with not even one good mechanic. Now we have a good mechanic staff. Equipment has been added and updated, the Departments fleet of trucks and heavy equipment has grown and improved, and. in short, about everything has been changed- except Beattys love of his work.

Rewarding Wort Its most rewarding work. You get a lot of kicks in the pants, but you get a lot of pats on the back. I love to work with people, and 99,9^ percent o the people in Greenville are very nice to work with.

Like most folks, and probably all clvU servents, Beatty is prone to be criticized. Probably more people have compi&ints about the Public Works Department than any other agency of the

citys government.

But he is quick to point out that without the many phime calls and complaints, much of the work of his Department would probably go undone.

Beatty sums up the situation very nicely: We are accused of a lot of things were not guilty of. but I guesB were guilty of a lot of things were not accused of.*

Though Beatty is a native of Mt. Holly in Gaston County, he has lived in Greenville most of his life. After high school in his home town, he amended State College, and later, Guilford College.

He came to Greenville after w(M*king at^ home for awhile. Wben^ he^ came here, be heard there was an opening in the Public Works Department and: Finally, A Grandson

County. The Beattys three daughters arc all married. I started with three daughters, then had four grandchildren, all girls, and finally, I got a grandson. Beatty is an active man who likes to get out-of-doors (an essential quality in his work), and always has been. He played

football in college and has the distinction of being the first football coach of the East Carolina College Pirates. He served two seasons as head coach.

Now his interests take a milder, though still outdoors, twist, and he spends much of his leisure time gardening.

Beatty is vice-president of the Greenville Kiwanls Club, and is an elder in the First Presbyterian Chiffeh here.

Beatty is understandably proud, then, of the progress of this city over the past two decades he had a lot to do with It. The Greenville Public Works D^artment will continue to have a great deal to do with the growth and progress of the city.

Rqpid Expansion

Plant

Jack Franklin Mlngea, president and l[riwurer of the PepsiCola Bottling Company In Oreen-tiile, says that ^*We have expanded veiy rapidly to keep pace with new demands.

"With the addition of Mountain Dew to our Une, sales have Increased appreciably, and with these Increased sales it has been necessary to enlarge our sales ] force to handle the additional! volume, he said. |

Mlnges added that the peo- j pie of Pitt and surrounding coiin- i ties have been very good to Pep. si and Pepsi products and we ! have every Intention of doing our | part to contribute to the expanding growth of their economy. The Pepei-Cola Bottling plant is located today at liJiW Dickln-.son Avene In Greenville and siu*ves a business area that In^ eludes Pitt, Greene^ Martin, Beaufort, Hyde, Tyrell, Washington and Bertie Counties.

The first plant was established In 1923 by his father M. O. Mlnges in a building with less than 1,000 square feet of floor space. Since then it has mushroomed to a total of 125,000 square feet In plants at Greenville. New Bern, and Kinston with distribution points at Washingt o n. Morehead City and Jacksonville, When the plant was first es-1 tabllshed, M.O, Mkiges manu- i factured an orange soft drink and did not add Pepsi until a dozen years later.

Steady growth caiLsed the first plant division in 1950 when Por-rrcst Minges became president ! and manager of the New Bern j Plant. In 19.53 ane^her division made Hoyt Mlnges president and manager of the Kinston Plant.

Dr. Ray Minges, a Greenville fiiu-geon, Maxel E, Minges and Martha Minges Bass are also stockholders in the firm, which today sells not only Pepsi-Cola but also Diet Cola and MTduntarh Dew.

John Minges, president and manager of the Greenville plant which employs about 65 people, received his education in the Greenville City School System and Darlington Prep School in Rome. Ga., where he graduated cum laude in 1947. He continued his education at East Carolina College and Davidson College where he majored In Business Administration.

He worked with the PepsiCola Company each summer dur

ing his school years, holding jobs in all departments and be came an office manager as pro-ductio.r climbed tr Its present 500 bottle per mkiute. j

^In addition to his execut 1 v e i

duties 111 the GreenvTIIe Plant, he is vlce-pre.sldent of the Kln-sto plant and tru.sl officer of the New Bern Plaaik .

He Is also a member <rf The board of direcLors of the State Bank and Triust Company, board of trustees of the Elks and on the board of dlrcctors of Greenville Industries. He is also a memlier of the Greenville Mer- i chants Association, the East Carolina College Century Club, and of the American Bottlers of Carbonated Bcveragts, National A.ssociation of Manufacturers and the United States Chamber "of I Commerce.

MIy iiHtfl^r, #r*vlllt K, C.--PrtrM ntf iutlntt RfvtWi 19SModern Fireman Is Far BetterEquipped/ Trained For His Role

FIRE UNITS . . . including thr pumpers, an aerial truck and utility vehicle are housed at the Central Station while the department's rescue vehicles are maintained in an annex to the building. Protective clothing and self-contained breathing equipment is lined up behind the trucks (right).__

The modern-day fireftghter In Greenville looks more like a man from outer space tl^ he does the fireman of the past when combatting r. lire.

Wearing heavy protective clothing, h''lraet and self-contained breathing equipment complete with face mask and oxygen tank and the traditional firemans ix>oU, todays fireman is better equipped and trained to enter burning buildings to strike a death blow at the heart (rf a fire from within.

In old Greenville when the call of fire" fang but, Rough and Ready volunteers would grab their buckets and ladder and run to the scene of the fire. Speed was important, for if the bucket brigade failed to arrive before the blaze grew very large, the Duilding woula be lost.

The .Rough and Ready Firemen were 2 topal Negroes who banded togethpTto fight fire and Tmtll 1896 werferthe only fire-

iighters in towii.

In May of 1896 the town took over the responsibility and formed a department consisting of 24 white volunteers and the 12 Rough and Readys. Even today, the department still maintains 24 white volunteers. And 12 Negro citizens stUl compose the Rough and Ready Firemen.

And in the early days, the city had an old horse-drawn steamer, replaced in 1916 when the

iown ^purchased its first fire truck: An additional fire truck

was bought in 1922 and since then the old fire alarm beU haa given way to an electrical fire alarm

ly.stem.

Since the early times, the fire engines have become more streamlined and efficient and the men better equipped and trained.

water (in the form of a fog,

' Which rapidly turns to steam in the super heated air, tlms driving out the hot gases and putting out the fire) directly on the fire.

Far Better Equipment And physically today's department is quite a far cry from the old department when t h e ' horse drawn steamer, spouting I smoke, rolled through town in i response to an alarm.

I Chief* Jones explained that today, the city maintains six first-line pieces of fire fighting equipment including two custpm l.OQO-^ gallon per minute pumpers, two commercial 750 gallon per min-iite engines, a 500 gallon per minute commercial chassis unit and a 65-foot aerial ladder ti uck i equipped with a 500 gallon per minute pump. In addition the

! department has two out dated ! pumpers, one a 1928 model Mack { truck and the second a 1922 model Stutz, which it maintains ^ on a stand-by basis.

And today, Greenville has three I fire stations, the latest opened ' only a short while ago on I Brownlea Drive in East Green-I ville. The ew' station, named in T honor of former chief Gardner houses one truck and two men on each 24-hour shift, and supplements the central station in downtown Greenville and the iJWjtai^jGi-fieuvine. suhsta^t^^ .on : Chestnut Street in West Green-i ville. \

In addition to the physical assets and the 36 volunteer firemen the Fire Department has 27 full-time paid men who man the departments facilities on |wo

I 24-hour shifts.

Undoubtly the futui-e will see I great changes in the department.

' Chief Jones foresees the establishment of a full-paid fire de-I partment in the not too distant : futura and more trucks and i the up-dating of the departments fire alarm system, to mention i just a few.

I With a full paid complement of firemen the whistle, which , calls the volunteers to the fire i scene would be silenced.

But somehow, the whistle . seems to be more than Just a j call to fight a fire. The whistle sound fore like a tribute a remindej' to remember the ; work and valor of the firemen. { And a note of encouragement to : someone whose home Is In peril ' saying hope is on the way.

Greenvilles first fire chief was A. J. Griffin, who was in office i.s a volunteer from 1896 to 1901. Volunteers who followed as chief Include S. T. Hooker, R. Hyman, D. D. Overton. F. A. Haskiris and George Clark, who served from 1925 to 1928 and was the last volunteer chief.

On October 1. 1928, George W. Gardner was appointed as the first full time paid fire chief and for 35 years three years longer than the combined time of his predecessor! he directed the department until his retirement In August, 1963.

With the retirement of Gardner, J. L. Jones, a veteran of at that time 34 years service with the department, was named chief and a new chapter In the history of the department began.

One of the main reasons for the efficiency of the department has been the continuing training program. Including both clas.s-room Instruction and practice at the drill tower, constructed in 942 and paid for largely y a $5,(WO ccHitrlbutlon by Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Mlnges. And when possible, firemen set fire to condemned dwellings and gain practice on actual fires.

Chief Jones explained that some of the best training Is acquired during* a controlled training fire. The blaze gives fire-

practice whft they have been schooled on in the cla.ss room, under actual fire conditions.

A.s opposed to the old - time firemen who would stand In the street and flood a structure with water, where possible, a modern-day firefighter attempts to gain enlrance to the building and put

arranged in a triangle around Greenville and together occupy more than 6,000 acres In Pitt and Beaufort Counties.

Prom the electronic complex of receivers and transmitters, broadoesta in 31 languages are aimed throughout the world.

These broadcasts are received by microwave from Washington. D.C. where all VGA programming originates.

Thus, VGA facilities in this area serve as a relay unit between WMhlngton and t rest of the world.

However, Greenville has become known around the globe through this facility. This Is the result of station breaks during which stations here identify ^ themselves between stations in Ithe same war as commercial stations do.

i^rve center for the local op-peratlohs is at plant C about seven miles west of Greenville. Here 11 Incoming channels ar receiving simultaneous broadcasts in 11 languages. Prom the console programs are then distributed by a second microwave system to 11 transmitters at plants A and B.

In addition to receiving and distribution equipment at this location, Greenville VGA administrative offices are part of the facilities housed or this smallest of the three sites, A rectangular building features a roofless patio surrounded by glass-walled corridors lined not only with the room housing the control console and receivers, but also with offices of the station manager, deputy manager and station engineer /

The administrative officers, who are foreign service personnel. are today under the leadership oi James W. Alky as station manager. Alley was recently assigned to the Greenville statUm after returning fr<mi a similar assignment at Monrovia

in Liberia. _

T'odaya Deputy' manager is William J. Slater who has been at the Greenville location for a year.

'"he Greenville facilities are manned by a staff of about 100 people, most of whom are technicians and electronics specialists.

Plant A supervisor is William O. Jones, Plant B supervisor is Pierce Hatcher and Bert Koc-blltz oversees i^?cratlons at Plant C, Administrative offices are directed by John D. Benson.

Continuous Maintenance At the receiving plant K o e-blltz explained that one of the main Jobs is continuous preventive maintenance on a regular schedule. We make checks on equipment before it breaks

He went on to explain that If we notice that a piece of equipment tends to break down about every four months, then we check on it every three months. ^

He told how the plants are manned 24 hours daily and that actual programming is done 21 hours. During the intervening three hours we do maintenance that can't be done while were on the air.

Since the station began operation December 7, 1962, the total transrnltting hours has reached above 7.500 hours a month through the 22 channels. This Is nearly three times as much as when we began, Koe-bllt/ said.

He noted that we have increased the amount of programming almost to the top capability of our facilities. and that there couldnt be much more on account of meeting maintenance requirements.

He also said that In the laM year a two-way communications system was added and this rrr"!prr.rnf f n'-' i o r--

panded as new stations are established throughout the world.

An Interesting feaLyur# in the operation is use of new nd often untried equipment. KoebUtz observed that by frequently ua-^ ing this untried equipment we have contributed to refinements that are ben^lclal to others. NaUonal Crisis In cases of a national crisis the Voice of America facility follows procedures In a definitely outlined emergency plan. When a crisis develops Washington rapidly notifies every station In' the network and in a matter of minutes all scheduled programs are cancelled and replaced by late news broadcasts.

Usually, for the first hour or so, these will all be in EngUsh and will then gradually return to the normal foreign language as translators catch up.

The stations are constantly ready for instructions to use the basic emergency plan that saw refinement through use during the Cuban crisis and the Kennedy asasHnaUon.

Dickinson Avenue Branch of the Guaranty Bank and Trust Co. ki the faU of 1938.

MnSi Wyatt Brown was founder of the League and in October, 1939, Miss Jesse R. Moye, a charter member, presented the Service League Seal which she had designed.

The seal has at its center, a womans hand holding high a lighted torch. Its rays of light radiate into all points of a compass a torch to light the way of service. The coinpass is in the foi-m of a star a star of hope and faith signifying t h e w'ork of the League which is broad in scope, its interests leading into many directions. TheTtofch Is symbolic of life; love and divinity.

Hospital Services The main service project of the League is the Coffee _Shop at Pitt Memorial Hospital. The shop is staffed by 32 volunteer workers per week who are League members.

Other hospltid services aie the hostess cart and Memorial Chapel. Hospital activities are tray favors made by League members for special holidays and they decorate the hospital on special occasions.

He pKal projects The main fund raising project of the group is the annual Charity Ball with all proceeds going to the Laughinghouse Hospital Fund.

In February, 1939. the League began a project to assist patients with hospital expenses in the Pitt General Hospital. The members felt that many worthy people in the community, who were not on charity, needed help with hospital expenses. Then as now, assistance is offered to all men, women and children.

Each patient is assisted only on the recommendation of a doctor. Seldom is an entire hospital bill paid, but this assistance has helped the patients to manage small payments after recovery.

~At its annual luncheon in June, 1939, the League dedicated its bed fund in memory of the late Dr. Charles OHagan Laughinghouse and was known as the Laughinghouse Hospital Bed Fund. The name has since been changed to the Laughinghouse Hospital Fund.

ThLs action was taken in grateful appreciation of the life, ideals and work of the late Dr, Laughinghouse and also in acknowledgement of the effective leadership of his daughter, the late Mrs. R. C. Stokes Jr., as the Leagues first president.

The contributions to the hospital Include: hospitals first

isolette rocking chairs for both pediatrics wings; pictures for patients rooms; two Bennett respirators; fund designated for the purchase of a mlcro-analy-sls machine; Memorial Chapel, dedicated to pioneer doctors of Pitt County, is furnished with memorials to these untiring citizens. with a plaque on the chapel wall to identify the gifts and donars; donating all pemaanent equipment for the new Critical Care Unit; and others.

On May 27, 1964. Mrs. J. T. Little Sr. announced at the annual luncheon that the group would donate $4,jOO to purchase equipment to be placed in a Cri-

ial Hospital.

A long-time dream of the hospital staff and administrat I o n became a reality. On Nov. 9, 1964, the ecu went into service and is the only such unit in eastern North Carolina. The unit is designed for service to a patient from 24 to 72 hours when immediate and hitensive care is required.

Upon acceptance of the gift, C. D. Ward, hospital administrator, Immediately announced that the unit would be d<^dicated to the Service League of Greenville.

plaque on the CCU door is inscribed The Critical Care Unit is dedicated to the members of the Service League of Greenville, who through (heir many untiring hours of service to Pitt Memorial Hospital has made possible all permanent equipment In this unit."

To keep such power in check, and to prevent Interference with local television and radio operations, VGAs waves are beamed by 75 directional antennas.

Work Load

Most folks of voting age are familiar with their local registrare and have a passing know-ledKe of their duties In the pro-per registration of voters. iMt how many are as familiar with the local Board ot Elections or Its chairman?

A registrars duties are comparatively untnvolvod. His job is important and essential, but his work Is limited to only a few specified days of an election year. The amount of worit on the shoulders of a Board o Elections Chairman is enormous.

Pitt Countys board chairman. D.S. Spain, can testify to the steadily Increasing work load and complexity of the Job. He has held office here_slnce 1956.

Before h^ls appointment as chairman of the Board of Elections. Spain was registrar In Greenville voting precinct number eight. So he has much more than a passing knowledge of all aspects of holding an election.-

Board Is Appointed

A Board of Elections (there Is one In each of North Carolinas 100 counties) Is composed of three members uppolnted by the Chairman of the State Board of Elections.

Of the three members, two are Democrats and one Republican. This procedure Is the same In every county except where there is no Republican running for office. In which case three Democrats may be appointed. Whether the majority of the three members are Democrat or Republican Is. of course, determined by the party in office In the state.

The members of the County Boards of Elections are appointed every two years on the Friday prior to the tenth Saturday before the primary election.

On the following Friday, the new board meets for the purpose of electing one of their numbers as chairman, and one as secretary. Spain has received the nod every two years since 1956. His fellow board members, Eli T. Joyner Jr. of Farmville. and Henry T. Smith of Fountain, the Republican member, have served as long.

The Board of Elections Is then responsible for the appointment of precinct officers, Including a registrar, two judges, and one alternate in each of Pitts 25 voting precincts.

Each registrar Is a Democrat as la one Judge and the alternate. The second Judge In each precinct is a Republican.

These officials, then, are responsible for establishing their voting precincts and setting up their voting places. Briefly, their job Is to see that the voting rules and regulations as set up by law are properly carried out.

Registrars do precisely what their title indicates they register qualified voters. On election day they see that vothig is proper and orderly, and, using their registration books, see that all who vote are qualifieid and registered In their respective precincts.

A Tedious Task

,That night, when-4he voting la over, comes the tedious task of ballot counting. The final tallies are entered on official return forms in duplicate. One is mail--ed that night to the chairman, and the other form is sealed in an envelope in the presence of all precinct officers. This form Is delivered by the registrar to the Board Of Elections on can-j'ass day^

Registrars are also Instructed by the chairman to contact the Daily Reflector and report their unofficial tallies. Returns tabulated and reported by the newspaper, therefore, are unofficial, though they are made available much earlier than the results of the official canvass.

Canvass day. which is the second day after an election (except when Suntftiy falls within), marks the gathering of board members and registrars for the official ta ation of votes.

For the canva.ss, the chalr-rnaiT enters the returns he gets in the mail on special fonns, and on canvass day he compares the.se returns with those brought in by the various registrars.

Following the canvass, he posts a list of those people nominated or elected on the court house door, each member of the board' signs the official tally forms, and the chairman turns them over to the Clerk of Court ind swears to their accuracy.

One copy of the final form Is mailed to the Stat Board of EUctions and the other Is filed

Appomattox

Tlie sun had set on/ the Confederate cause. The mists from the lltt.c river swirled among the stocked well-worn rifles.

Only a handful of the man and boys who had marched off to war from Pitt were left to sur-rt'tider.

In the 27th Regiment. Co. E. had started out with 112 officers and men. only 16 were left. In Co. H only 4 out of the first inn were there of the 111 who left w#li Co. C. of the 44th only 8 were there, D Company of the same regiment left with 93. only 10 were there. But In Company I. the saddest story was told. 114 went away and on that day only one was there.

In Compan.v E of the famous B5th who made history at Gettysburg, of the 85 there were 8.

In all the county had furnish ed over 2,000 soldiers to the Confederacy. Not many of these ev- en saw the Tar again.

Tobacco Market

The marketing of tobacco was begun In Greenville In 1891,.

Eastern Tobacco Warehouse JMiM'd by 0. JU, Joyner,, was the first warehouse In Orcenvula,.

in the clerks office.

The registrars' work la done, but the chairman haa still more to^ do. He muit eolieet^ and store^ the books of registration from each precinct, which are to be In his poaeesalon when not in use. ,

I keep them k) the court house basement, Spa.]h laHr because I dont have room at home.

He must then prepare the many papers and certificates of election or nomination for each raccessful candidate after each primary or election; and must stand ready to answer any requests from registrants cotice rn-liir^ age, date of residence, or any of a multitude of requests made of him.

I recently had a request from a person In Roanoke Rapids to determine If he registered here In 1954 or 55, Spain said. More and more people are making inquiries as to the age of a registrant for purposes of obtaining pasaporta, social security, or what-have-you.

Each such request involves a trip to the court house and a check of the book for the precinct In which the person Is supposedly registered. This often Involves a lot of checking.

Spains work does not begin on election day either. For all during the election year he must be ki contact with his registrars and other necessities at each voting place.

He must collect filing fees from all local candidates, have ballots printed, prepare ill 1 n g papara and othier-neceasary pap-ers. and must supervise the election In every precinct.

It^s hard, time . consuming job, and though Spain is hot in

. re allty a_. .full-time paid p_u blic

servant, his work takes most of his time. But he does It willingly and enjoys It.

Spain is IMU Native

Spain Is a retired tobacconist and Is a native of Pitt County. He Is a graduate <rf the University of North Carolina jwhere he holds an AB degree.

Senator Ervin, Spain relates, was In my class. He sat right next to me to law class

in fact. - ---------

.. Hls.wlfe Is a graduate of Converse College In Spartanburg, S. C. The Spains have two children, D.S, Spain Jr.'(a physician In Greenville, Mississippi, Incidentally); and a daughter, now Mrs. Carol Jenkins of St. Louis.

Spain Is a veteran of World War I when he served In the Navy during the last few months Of the war. Upon his discharge, he returned to Greenville and has remained here.

He has seen several changes In state government, and has wltfiessed the growth and expansion of the state In many ways. New regulations, an ever-lncrea-sing work load brought about by a larger (and stUl growing) pop

ulation, and a steadily growing and more complex government have all added to the work load

Spatotr 4be- other -boariL mem-. bers, and the registrars.

Stringent Ballot Regulations

Oner Important change In voting regulations has complicated liisu job. tremendously .., the re-, cent' more stringent regulattins governing absentee )>allots.

New regulations call for application In person or In writing by the person requesting a ballot. The application must then be properly filled In nt-arlzed, and returned to the Chairman, who registers the applicant in a special book.

Ballots are then mailed to the repstrant, who Is assigned a serial number. He then fills In his ballot with serial number and his name and returns them again to the Chairman.

Spain holds the absentee ballots until election day when he delivers them to the proper precincts for depositing (after a further check for accuracy) In the ballot box.

For the General Electlwi alone^ last November, Spain had over 500 such absentee ballots to contend with. This steadily Increasing and more complex business complicates his job enormously.

But he doesn't complain about It. He likes It. His eight years as Chairman of the Board of Elections Is proof enough of that.

Two National Guard Units Here Are Prepared

OremviUe hta iwo National GQard ready to help in looal and national emergencie.

iatteries C and D of the 113th Artillery arc part oi the North Carolina 30th Infantry Division the Old Hickory Division. Battery-CMs the oldest ot4he^ two units and represented Greenville In both World Wars. D Battery was first fbhned as service mattery in 1936 and except for Sergeant Mayo Allen, was composed of all new people.

Greenville's first unit was or-ganissed In the early 1900s and today the combined units boa^ a strength of nearly 200 volunteers who can be alerted and in action against local emergencies on short notice.

Whether Uie emergency stems from httrrlcane or rioting, the unit 1 able to have men fro the Greenville area beginning their assigned tasks fifteen minutes after a first call Is made for help___

Sergeant Mayo Allen, of Battery D stationed at the Evans St. Anmrry, explained that wliile some men could arrive In this short time to begin their

duties, It might take up to an hour and a half for others to from

come In fiom more distant points. But even though some have not arrived, those who have will not wait to begin their work, he said.

The national guard can only be used by the state governor for an emergency within the state. However. It is possible for a local mayor to request the governor to activate a unit for help.

Should . national emergency be declared, then the national guard may be activated by the president of the United States.

Activated In such national emergencies In the past the Greenville unit has been activated for service in both World Wars and during the Korean conflict. During World War I the Greenville Unit served In Germany as part of the North Carolina 30th Division where It got credit for Its part In breaking the Hlndenbcrg Line.

The unit was again committed to Europe during World War II where at Normandy It took the brunt of Rommel^ last

efforts to break allied lines at Montaigne, said local commander Guy Langston.

Prom there the unit moved on into Aachen. Germany and took part In breaking the Selg-fried Line before participating In the Battle of the Bulge where It earned the reputation as the workhorse of the Western Front. said Langston.

Lang.ston, who is also police chief in Gi*eenville. is the 30th Dlvi.sion Artillery Commander. Otiier local commanders are Captain Ralph H. Heidenrelch In charge of C Battery and Captain Milan Muzinich in charge of D Batterj'.

Captain Heidenrelch commented that Field artillery and Greenville have always been associated in that this town has alwa.vs had such units that won ; many hono-s. He noted that In 1961 we scored the highest ever on division artillery tests - 91.1.

Heidenrelch Is the son-in-law of the late Captain Lester Jones, the first commanding officer of a Greenville unit. He explained that we support the ground-gaining arms of the 30th Division and provide depth combat."

In 1951 the unit was again activated into federal service and after spending some time at Ft. Campbell, Ky., it was moved Into Germany where It was known as tbv. 690th Field Artillery Battallion.

As an artillery unit the Greenville National Guard has eight howitzers in addition to heavy trucks, jeeps, rocket launchers, machine guns, rifles and pistols.

Sergeant Allen explained that hl.s eight Inch howitzers were capable of using nuclear warheads and he went on to men-

Future planning also forsees a new armory to replace the Evans St. facility which today is i inadequate for storing e q u i p- ment.

Allen noted that while the | unit has equipment and trained : personnel ready for a national ; emergency. In peacetime we must consider itself as part of local community services.'

Bright Leaf Co. Has Stressed Service

The Chrysler Corporation has made many^ changes within the past few years and we have tried to parallel the progress of the national company, claims W.L, Johnson, owner and manager of Bright Leaf Motors.

There is no need for a company to irnprove on a national basis if the local units fail to keep up with the standard.

We at Bright Leaf Motorg, -have tried to emphasize service in all its phasc.s for the convenience of our cu.stomers. contin-

pai't of t.hir progre.ssive tr e n d that we have adopted to make ours a company of excellence. ' Bright I.eaf Motors began as a partnership between L.F. John-.son and H. Nortwick In 1950. Ownership changed when Johnson purchased Nortwicks interest in the busines.s in 1956.

Nineteen sixty - four brought with it another change for the company when John.sons son, W L. Johnson assumed sole ownership.

The Company was founded as a Plymouth Dodge Dealership. Another recent change in Bright Leafs type of business has been the switch to a Chrysler-Ply-moyth Dealership. This occurred in 1962.

The sales and service of- new and used cars is our business. Johnson explained. Five years ago we stocked 10 or 15 new cars. Today we stock as many i.s 60 new rar. ^for a better choice fjw tihr cn.rtomors This Is anoftrer example of our at tempf to keep up the new trend In buying.

The Man In The Fire Tower Is Really A

By SAM MIIJ.KR RcfJeclor Staff Wrltir

Did you ever wonder about the man In that fire tower on the Route 2(i4 bypts around Green-vlUe?

Well, lt*8 a lady. ,

She Is Mrs. Ha/^l Manning who hs spent five days a week for thi* last teti years watching for smokes that might mean danker to forest land! In Pitt County.

Actually.^ she spends only ten rnontlis of the year In the tower. The two "Krccn months," when tlmixir Is least likely to Aurn, hav< no local fire vigil. \

Mrs. Manning la an emplo^ of the North Carolina Forest Service, and works for district five with Its headquarters in Rocky Mount.

The county ranger for whom she works Is Joe Allen. Other members of the local staff are Ben Forrest, the assistant county ranger, and Aron Case, an equipment operator.

A part-time helper who filis In on weekends for Mrs. Manning Is an East Carolina College student. Douglas Jackson of Jackson. N. C. He was already trained for the Job through his prior fire tower experience ki his home town before comi n g to East Carolina.

There is no actual training program or schooling for this W'ork. though there are occasional meetings of other district tower operators, rangers and .smoke chasers to exchange vlew.s on managing their program. T-flning comes mainly from on-the-,1ob experience.

The Greenville Tower near the Intersection of the Route 264 bypass and the Evans St. extension of Greenville is only one of many such tower.s that help the forest service in its primary ta.sk of fire control in the county. The.se tow'crs are from 15 to 20 miles apart

Climbs Steps

Mrs. Manning leave.s her home near the oase of the tower about 9:45 a. m. each day to ;tart climbing the towers 1.33 steps. Her first duty at the top li to call in on the state forest

services j:adi5 network to report that she Is on duty. The tower also has a phoi)e on which she may call to check c possible fires or to send someone looking for a source of smoke. ,

From the tower she can see many clouds of smoke In the Greenville area. There are 1 permanent smokes which include city dumps and industrial sites, These 18 are locations logged on a permanent record In the tower.

County Ranger Joe Allen says that Pitt County has averaged fro.a 30 to 70 fires annually since he was stationed here three years ago. A primary factor is weather.

During a wet year there will ^4H|urally be fewer fires than during t^ery dry one, he explain-ed.

A careful check is kept on weather readings several times each day. This check includes Hictors such as ratnfall, moisture and wind. These factors are used to compute an index number that governs the alert* of smoke chasers.

If it is very dry two men patrol constantly whe one man stands by the tractor kept at the tower.

Mrs. Manning told how this Index number was computed continuously at the headquarters

and broadcast three times daily to the towers. When the index indicates a vei-y dry period we must also make night checks, she explained.

She said that when she first began to work with the forest service as a spotter she u.sed to worry quite a bit about the responsibility which includes knowing ihe location and means of reaching tho forest .service personnel at all times. But I have learned no! *o let it worry me now.

Queried if she ever found the Job bo rI n g sbe a n.w e f e dT~

Oh, .sometime.s It Is. But you .see a lot going on from up here and mo.st of the time theres plenty to keep me busy. If not, I can always do some reading or sewdng.

She told that while the Union

Carbide plftnt was under con structlon she would often aim her binoculars to the kite whenever something interesting was 'hawjenkig there. One day one of the workmen walked over to say he always watched her climb up the tower, and she answered;

**Well, thats til rttht. I watch you every day, too."

It is often quite noisy at the Intersection and especially so when the truck traffic is heavy. Often its necessary to close the tuwer windows In order to hear calls made on the radio net-work.

Constant Contact This network keepa her in constant contact with the other towers that surround the Pitt County area and also lets her stay in contact with other forestry service people even when they are traveling in their vehicles. They must sign off and when possible give a phone number whenever they arrive at a destination.

In locating a smoke which she thkiks needs to be checked out Mrs. Manning uses a **flre compass" to determine its azimuth or direction from her tower. After using a gridded map of Pitt County ,to run a string from her tower to the direction given by the compass, she calls another tower in that direction to request a similar reading. She can use that reading to run a second string from the other towers position in the direction it reports.

The fire will be located where the strings cross.

She then reports this location by radio or telephone to one of the searchers who will immediately check the spot and recruit help to fight the fire if It Is necessary.

Often the fire has already been Identified by another tower that may have written a burning permit to an individual. By Issuing these free permits the forest service is able to keep up with such activity and Identify the smoke without sending someone to check it out when it is

sotted. ------------------------

For the most part Mrs. Manning considers her job a fairly interesting one. When someone visiting the tower once commented that he wouldnt want to have her job she answered:

And I wouldnt want you to have It either.

In addition to the tower and office, equipment at Greenville station Includes three trucks with hand tools and a water tank for fighting small fires. There Is also a fire tractor for digging fire lanes.

Asked about the main cause of fires. County Ranger Allen said: Mostly people.

He explained that it was usually cigarettes and matches or agricultural burning that spread into fires that need their attention. He ahso said that in the hunting season cigarettes and matches became a particular problem.

SiMJtt.sylvania

Without any rest the decimated Confederate moved on to the hamlet in Virginias rolling hills. Here in the battle of. May 10-12, 1864, the 3rd, 27th. 44th and 55th fought hard and lost heavily once again.

The blood of Pitt County^men mingling with that of friend and foe turned the small stream running below the McKool house red.

He gave February, March and April as busy months because It Is during this time that farmers clear and bum brush in their fields.

Generally though, farmers are most careful in how they burn, be added.

In event of an all out fre lh which help would be needed, ths local district can request immediate aid to be dispatched fiotr other counties, or if necessary, from other districts, state regional aid, to Include aircraft service, may also be requested.

Alien explained that while his primary concern is with fire protection, forest management as a public service is also a part o( his work.

In this capacity he helps landowners In the planting, raising and selling of their timber oi. the available wood markets, and shows them conservation meth ods,

"We like to help people^raisc cut and aell and still have^som left," he said.

Mly MhKim, Or*nvIII, N: C.-Pregratt and Butlnau Bavaw, 1965Special School Offered For Trainable Children

: ,gn -** wsi

USEFUL VOCABULARY . . . Mrs. Beulah Vann Hale of the trainable school's faculty, conducts a drill on useful words selected to be directly beneficial to the retarded pupils.

With its overall objective of enabling retarded children to live as useful lives as possible, Greenvilles school for trainable children has developed one of the outstanding programs of Its Idnd in North Carolina.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Janie Gold Starling as principal, the school features an exceptionally flexible program designed to meet needs of chil-di-en having widely different levels and rates of learning.

The school of special education is today located at 216 4th St. adjacent to the junior high school. This location facilitates not only use of the junior high schools lunch room facilities but also provides an opportunity for retarded children to learn to associate with other people.

Mrs. Starling emphasized that one of the trainable schools outstanding features with regard to introducing its pupils to others came as a result of community participation in its work. She Cited several examples to indue, the services given by Bill Johnscn, manager of HiUcrest Lanes and those of Marie Wallace, a dance studio teacher.

'ohnson provides weekly bowling lessons to the school at no cost. From these lessons the children not only develop better coordination but also gain a feeling of achievement and self confidence. Moreover, numbers take on definite additiotial meanings as scores to a game.

Additional physical thera p y coupled with enjoyment is provided by the weekly dance les-sons. These lessons have the added value of increasing rhythmical awareness and skill.

Musical activities are given by Mrs. Hubert Haynes who visits the school twice a week to give lessons.

- EXirther community participation in the schools program includes the work of civic clubs and individuals which all contribute to making this school's special education program one of the best in this state. said Mrs. Starling.

Another way the school provides meaningful activities to its pupils, whose IQ range anywhere from 5^ is through school trips that include the fire station, dime store and even a local bank. Through this sort of activity the children become acquainted with good manners, learn to read price tags, learn to look without buying and not to handle store items, learn to speak softly, and also learn to cross a street with traffic lights and to use the right side of a sidewalk.

To Restaurant

At least once a year the children are taken to a pul)lic restaurant where they order theii own meals, leave tips and pay for the meal themselves. Mrs. Starling said that on one such trip a waitress remarked that these children showed better manners than most adults.

All of this activity is in. kecpr.

Ing with the schools main ob^ j[ective of teaching its pupils to live happily with their families and their community.

Mrs. Slarlinii emphasized that h program tried to teach children to do things for thcm.sclves. Fhe explained that mo.st of the time they come from an over-protective home atmosphere.

She noted that a chief means of instruction is accenting the positive since plenty of praise bduces improved behavior.

As a ;*esult they often learn io accept authority from the teachers better than thev accept It from their own parents, she vaid.

She went on to explain that we try to let each one know when he has done right by showing we are happy.* In the same way we sliow we are sad when behavior is wrong,

An Important part of the ichool.s efforts to teach useful things is its emphasis on a very practical vocabulary.

Mrs.,Beulah Vann Hale, an a.-sistant teachci of the younger group conducts lessons hi words

such as: stop, danger and poison.

This practical vocabulary also Includes the words Tadies, gentlemen. girls, boys, with particular attention to the word exit as meaning a way of safe escape from a dangerous situation.

Thus, even though a child may not know the simple vocabulary of an ordinary school child, he is equipped with words helpful in protecting himself and with a vocabulary meankigful to his daily living.

Mrs. Hale said that one of the first things we try to teach the children is their own name and address. This paid off one day when one of the boys wandered on the streets, got lost and was able to tell someone this information. As a result the boy was easily returned to his family.

The schools four-member faculty also includes Mrs. Helen

Sermons and Mrs. Nan Smith as an assistant. The two regu 1 a r teachers each have an assistant in order to provide the close attention and guidance the retarded children need.

These four teachers work with 25 pupils from throughout Pitt County.

The trainable school began in 1957 with Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Anne. Dunn Ross as its otily teachers. Located on Third Street, they had an enrollment of eight to ten pupils at the time. '

Mrs. Hale said that their first! year was really a battle be- i cause of W'orking with children | whose attention span was ten | minutes af the most. I

That first year saw most em- I phasis put on being away from | home and on physical cooidina- I tlon activities with a great deal of attention put on mingling with other people. Later in the year some attention was given

to initial academic work.

Later the school was moved to a building on the grounds of the Junious H. Rose High School and three years ago it was again moved to its present location.

Children are kept in the school until they are 18. Prom there some of them may go on to the Caswell School in Kinston where they can learn useful trades in sheltered ^workshops.

Waiting Period

Mrs. Starling told that frequently it took several years from the time an application to the Caswell school was submitted until a child could be admitted. This is the result of a long waiting list.

She also noted that some were able to get work in unskilled areas after leaving the Greenville school.

Todays special education curriculum is able to give much more emphasis on acade m 1 c work than was possible during the first years.

Pitt HD Club Program Saw Its Start In 1925

TRAINING SCHOOLS FOR HD CLUB LEADERS . . . are conducted by the home economic agents for the purpose of training leaders to conduct demonstrations for club meetings. These training schools are held every other month.

Bertha Lee Fergerson was the le.

-r

first agent for Pitt County Home Demonstration Clubs stated In 1925. Work wa.s carried on by helping with the school lunch project.

At the present time, there are 20 HD clubs in Pitt County with a total membership of 41&, Club meeting are held monthly with an edifcaonal program at each meeting. The programs are presented by the agents six months <mU o the year and by leaders six months. Leaders are always previously trained for the p r o-gram they give by the extension agent through training schools.

Intensive education is carried out through more than <6.000 home demonstration groups hi all 50 states and Puerto R i c o. Tjocal homemaker groups help plan their own program and select their ovTi volunteer leaders.

In general, programs are concerned with such subjects as family financial management, nutrition and health, clothing and textiles, home linprovenienl and work slmplication, child care and training, working with others for community improvement and many other topics related to family or community living.

The techiwlogical developments In home economics and related fields during the last 15 yea;'s have been phenomenal. A multitude of new materials and services undreamed of In 1945 are now an accepted part ot the way of life. These new developments cut acroSvS all fields from foods to housing; from clothing to recreation. While they have brought great promise, they have also posed new problems in the form of almast unlimited alternatives. These n\imerous choices. while opening new horizons in family living, at the same time have cieated new needs and put a premium upon deci-

The GeoiRP Washington Carver Library iirst opened Its doors In February of 1940 In an old

thiee-room house at 506 8hep-

PWfl Si,

: The da.v we opened I borrowed a card table to catalogue

the iirstbooks ihere wer 96," said Mrs. Belle Maye Atkinson. Mrs. Atkinson was th first librarian and had taught ten years In Pitt County schools before taking the post.

The idea oriihe Carver llbra-r* goes to Gfeen\llle school

teacher Mrs. ^lllzabeth Kearney who In 1937 asked high school principal Charles M. Ep p e s about the possibility.

Two yeans later the Greenville town board agreed to pay rent for such a facility if a suitable house could be found.

By the enct of Its first operating year the library had 924 honks In Its collection. Mrs. Atkinson said. The collect 1 o n remained In the Sheppard Street house until a site for the new structure was found and acquired at 618 Tyson St.

In about a year the new building was completed and today the two -year r old ctructure. dedicated in February of 1%3, houses a collection of 11,031 book.s.

The present facility contaln.s two main reading and study reas, one for children and one for adults. There are also offices and rooms for book pro-ce.sslng and storage.

Mrs. Atkinson reported th a t there are now 1.374 borrowers on record, 559 adults and 815 children.

In January of last year Mrs. Atkinson .suffered a light .stroke and tuiTied the library over to her former assistant llbrarlanr Mrs. Luesta Tyson Ennis. Two other full-time librarians are Mrs. Melba Forbes and Miss June Staton.

Mrs.. Ennis noted that most of the librarys circulation is among student borrowers and that teachers also draw heavily on the librarys services. She commented that on holidays the library sees heavier than normal use of its reference facilities as teachers make written assign-ment.s about such days.

The library tries to work with the schools to help meet study a.s well as recreational reading demands.

Most of the recreational read Ing is done by adults who show most Interest in fiction and In biographies. Sports books are In heavy demand during appropriate seasons.

As part of the librarys servl-ce.s Mrs. Ennlsjmalntalns scrapbooks of news ^clippings on events and personalities for reference work.

Mrs. Ennis noted that her

work often involved showing youngsters how to use the Librarys ( d catagog and reference system, and how to understand the Dewey Decimal class-Ificatlon system.

Another part of the Job Is reading to groups of smaller i children.

The librarys collection today Includes reference volumes, fiction, non-fiction and best sellers, and also 35 periodicals and ten newspapers.

GrowtR Brought A Need For 8 New Subdivisions

PARMVUjLE Economic de-tclopment and growth has been reflected in the number of new famiUes and hcnnes here as Incoming industry created a minor -housing problem.

To meet not only the present needs but also anticipated future growth, eight new town subdivisions have been created within the last decade.

In these eight subdivisions there are now more than 50 new !wmes already occupied and another 60 are under construction.

Jack J. McDavid reports that these sub.* visiiKis represent with one exceptiwi, the results of local Investments. His firm, McDavid Associates, was retained as con-aulUng engineer for the Farm-vllle town board as a result of the rapid growth,

"Five years ago this town didnt need a fuil-time engineer' but today Farmville needs such a group to advise local officials In planning for s<nethlng better ttian ^haphazard growth, McDavid said,

Since I came here In 1948 I have seen the towns border line moved out twice and can see the time when It will be moved again.

He went on to say that he saw Farmville as having more growth potential than any other Pitt County Community.

In its advisory capacity to the town. McDavid Associates makes surveys, studies and recommendations to the town board on Lhe most leasable ways to handle

its expansion projects.

Town Specifications Set

McDavid noted that aU the new subdivisions must meet planning board standards which Include specified street width; specified sewer, storm drainage and water lines, and a specified lot size. Moreover, health factors were considered in specifying the size of a home that could be put ( a given sized lot.

McDavid, and his associate William J. Heard, estimated that so far the subdivisions here represent better than a three-quarter million dollar investment by the town government.

This money was spent for such things as water sewer and utility insteUatlons. A large portion of the funds also went for street paving.

Heard said that the oldest subdivision here is Uie Langdale development and that the newest is the' Club View section along U. S. Route 250. Other subdivisions are Allen Acres on N. Con-tentnea St., Claremont on S Pitt St., the Monk development on Waverly t., and the West View development on Church St There are also the Mebane Acres and Lincoln Park developments.

Commenting further ai the potential growth in Farmvilles future, McDavid said he could foresee Marlboro coming within Farmvilles town limits as the two communities continue to grow together.

Jaycee Goal Is A Civic Center

FARMVILLE A long range goal of the Junior Chamber of commerce here is consti-uction of a community center for the town.

Carl Venters Jr., president of the group, said that project would call lor raising .funds from groups other than his own, but that his ^organization could act _as instigatbr and co-ordinat ot in the work.

Venters explained that h I s group liked to use civic projects as leadership training for young men here. Today there are nearly 30 members representing a "fairly good cross section of occupations.

During the past year the club was responsible for the formation of the Boosters Club to support the high school athletic programs. Our people organized it, got it going, and now that club operates on Its own, Venters continued.

Other projects by the club Included funds for the high school scoreboard, erecting signs along local highways that will promote the town, and several other fund raising efforts.

FARMVXLLS ~ FartnviUd'f irowth within the past decade can be attributed largely to if* forts of its eoonomlo oounoU which has been highly suocesa-fui in attracting new Industry into the area.

Tom WlUla, former director of the council, says that Farmville k Pot dnly4ha first towB east af Raleigh to have a full-time economic deveK^Mtient office, but is also the smalleet town in the United States, with such a function.

The council waa f ormed^ hr May of I8S6 to promote agricultural, industrial and economic welfare In the communily. We are concerned with this towns total economic development. says WUlis, not just industrial aspects.

As a result, the council has also worked with agricultural ideas that will benefit the area. Amrnig the most recent examples of this was its work with the Contentenea Watershed Development Project affecting Pitt

County landa.

Within this flood and dralnaga project area are more than 1,-000 farms covering above II.* 000 acres in parts of four ooun-tlaa.

This project is moving rapidly to help alleviate crop damage by torrential rains such as wa saw raoanUy and Also in 1061, said wmia.

Another project for agrioultu-ral Interest was with an Agricultural DeiHirtment research team visiting here from Washington to study steps and measures to alleviate the effect of an anticipated out in tobacco.

WUlls noted that whUe we will probably have the most profitable crop in our history this year we paradoxically face a cilsia next year.

Seek New Crops

As a result we are looking for crops that have uncrowded markets and that we can produce with our soil and climate in co-ordiatl With oUr tobacco time schedule, he continued.

With S2,S70 acres hi tobacco axample of creating amplcy*

In Pitt County at this time, any slaeable cut can put an appreciable dent In the economy, and with this in mind, the council is looking for solutions that will alleviate this threat to the argar* lan-centered economy.

We havtjeen a farming community. aSlfo now tinue to be so in the future. noted WUlls. Therefore in Iry-ing to locate industry we keep our agrarian background hi mind and seek to locate plants that will utilize our farm resources, as weU as that win produce employment for our secondary wage earners.

The first plan^' to locale here on note was the Formica factory that meets these ends by using local pulpwood in its processes. And, moreover, it's employment heliw to curb the out-migraUoci of labor here.

In the same way the Fanners Cooperative Exchange, whl c h came to FarmvUle within the last three years, uses corn and grain in its operations. Another

Planning Bo^d Fills New Needs

FARMVILLE - An evolving need for controlled growth brought about the establishment of the local planning board here about three years ago.

Dr. John Mewborn, who serves as chairman of the present study and advisory group, said that the prime objective was to determine the best use of our available land space.

The b^ar4 nonducts surveys and studies that are used as the basis for recommendations to the community commissioners who are interested in guiding orderly development in the Farmville area.

Planning board member Jack McDavid said that Mayor Joyner saw fit to organize thr group as a result of the towns fast growth. There was no system for systematic growth, McDavid said, and wa wanted to avoid haphazard development.

We are really only an advisory group to the town commissioners, and we hash out problems ahead of time for them. But the only thing this board can do is recommend a solution the cwnmissloners still have to act on the problems. McDavid continued.

McDavid pointed out that among the planning board activity includes working closely with the state highway department in working out overall traffic routes In and around the town. The group also works to prevent poor location of any towu subdivisions that would

put housing developments In the way of a major traffic flow route.

The advisory group also works on the zoning within the Farmville area. The zoning ordinance was revised last November.

The board is now undertaking a study of the downtown business district in a projected 12 to 18 month effort to determine traffic flow and consumer pur=;. chasing relationships.

Board members include Wilton Duke, Edward Davenport, Irvin Morgan Jr., and Harold Allred as secretary. Twn Willis, former head of the Farmville Economic Council, is an advisory member of the group.

Ambulances Are AAodern Vehicles

FARMVILLE Ambulance service here started in cotinec-tion with the Farmville Funeral Home because the firm owned the first motorized car with a cot.

' '^homas E. Joyner. Jr., owner of the funeral home, says that today his vehicles are equipped with the most modern emergency facilities to Include* an oxygen supply If It is needed.

He maintains the service primarily for the very ill and for emergencies, but predicted that in the future hospitals and municipalities would completely take over the service.

"But o far Wi are far below creating 2,000 jobe annually. he continued, and as a result it is imperative to lick our farm problem.

Snpplementi Form Incenw

*'Fof our farmers we need to find supplemental Incomes to raise their standards of living and we see diversity in crops as a means to this end. We are not trying to get away from tobacco. but trying to add something that will go along with it.

Against tobacco are five considerations which add to the urgency of local problem said Willis: "climate, controls, cancer, competition and common market.

With these In mind it has become Important to us to think in terms of Farmvilles total economy, not only in terms of new industry.

In preparing for new industry WUlls noted that the town has enlarged not only its acreage of industrial sites, but has gone ahead and put utilities such as gas, electricity, water and sewage lines on these properties.^ Thus we can teU a prospect that the utilities he needs are already there not just that we can have them put In. FlAAueial Aid Moreover, It Is possible to fl-

nanolally aid a proapcet through fundi In Parmvilla Xnduatrles, Inc. In thia fund there U capital enough to build a buUdlng up to 100,000 aquare feet said WUlls. We have been, and etlll are, willing to help In auch conatnictlon.

However, he noted that the councU waa not sponaoring any type of glvt-away program. H Industry wanta to come. It muit ,pay Ita own way. ,

The lUants that hava locgted in FarmvlUe have not uaed the local funds but have expended capital outiayi that amount to multl^miUion dollar Inveatmenta, he added.

this way five major lUanta-have moved into the ParravUle area and helped balance the towna economy.

WUUa said -.fliat perhaps t h e most signiflcant^^compUshment was to begin a gradu change in people* attltudea to.new ideas and to changes. We hava adapted ourselves to growth. Vlsibla ihdicaiJona of Farmvilles growth la seen not only in commercial growth but also In the eight new housing aubdl visions in the town.

Commercial growth has been terrific, and there is not n em-ty store in the business fSstrict today.

Willis now serves as a director rf the Regional Research and Development Institute at East Carolina CoUege. As director of the institute. WUlls will coordinate research and planning^, toward industrial and other development in Eastern North Carolina.

In Farmvilie not only water and sewate services are provided through the city tovernment, but electric power ia aUo included. in municipal services.

Pittman said that the first {-electricity in towir was from a small generator housed in the old Moi-gan Oil Mill, At the time there W'ere only a few houses

connected to the 40 Kilowatt generator system and these houses had only a few bulbs' and some otd style refrigerators.

The system was only operated in the late afternoons and even* ings and would be shut off each night until the next day.

The first water lines in tow-n were laid about lgl4 and two years later the beghining of a sewer system was installed. The year 1916 also saw the town's generator moved to its present location on Belcher Stieet. However, there is a sewer plant on that site today. The first sla*-

able generators were s t e wm-powered units installed by Olsen Engineers of Raleigh.

We still deal with this company today, Pittman commented.

The steam powered unit brought the town s electrical capacity up to 312 Kilowatts. "Todays power capability is moie than 2,700 KW and this is not nearly the amount we now use, says Pittman. '

He went on to explain that "our deiand Is so great that we now(J^\ from Carolina Power and Llg^imd in the fututw will

have to increase what we buy from them.

He noted that it was cheaper to buy from them today than tp operate the towns plant, "But having this plant has allowed ua to provide service with Very little hiterruptlon and we will probably malritaki it as astandby power souixc.

Cbasumpiion Up

*Tn 'the last ten years our load has grown about 280 per cent with no sign of letup whatsoever. he asserted. Most of this load is resldentlal because the larger industries tie directly

into Carolina Power and Light facilities, ^

"As .the residential aita heft expanded, the water and sewer load gfcw tight along with the electric load. Ten years ago we had a'^40,000 gallon per minute capacity from our wells and have increased it this year to a potential of 158.000 gallons per minute to mahe^380 percent Increase,

This year the town is complet-tnr line^gddltioni to both water and aewer tystema. These additions include the completion of two new wells last year and a

third being Ued into the aystem. years ago there was an

old fimhof aewage treatment that had been installed in '1938, Today there Is a modem $800,-000 treatment ipiant completed in 1954 and now a new lagoon type plant la near completion. This new facility will have a capacity of two million gallons per day Pittman said.

Pittman became superintendent of the utilities operations in Oct-nber ot lilt year when W. A. McAdams retired after more than 48 years of working in the department.

McAdams said that when he first began working for the town, revenue from the department was 384 per month. Last September the departmenta revenues were

33.733.

McAdams jioted that air conditioning on top of the tobacco industrys seasonal electrical load has made late summer the peek loa season.

REA Function

"In 1936-37 we got Rural Eleo-trlcation Association approval from Washington to sell REA power and for several years operated a system for them, Mo-Adsms said,

He iJtptitod that with t ti i acquisition of its first diesel power plant at the time, Faim-vllle was sbie to provide curient Into the rural areas on lines built with REA funds. The department is actually an operating agency for REA and sold power at wholesale rates In addi-

Uon to collecting their revenueir "In 1944 the rural syetein was big enough for them to open their own ollloes he.'* McAdams wetU oe. tg aay that agrloiUtural atuomatioa brought a change In rural labor needs and new Industry was invited in. to V j atea to help eue this labor problem, n

As the industries earn# n%t only did the utilities face" expansion programs, but the town s Street pavkig and maintenaiu e operaUons hid to be augmentiu.

"The first paved streets we is done In 1919. Everything was concrete and it was all done by hand or by mule power. All of the paving was done on oonttaci with the West ConstmoUoB Oonv. pany.

PARMVILLE - Just ten years ago the^ first nati o n a 1 guard unit was organized as pait of the North Carolina 30th Infantry Division.

Today this unit has a current manpower strength of moie than 85 men who are part of a headquarters medical, reconnaissance and mortar platoon.

When the unit was first organized in 1955 by Captain John J. McDavld Jr., it was an Infantry rifle company and remained as such under his command until last May. At that time re-organization brought 1st

For Most Q lls 90 Years, Farmville Relied

On Agriculture; Town Now Builds Diversity

farmville During most

of Us 90 : ,ar history as an In* corporated town. Farmville has drpended on an agrarian centered economy.

Iw the .last decade- has the town begun to add a new source oi income to its econo-niy as citizens saw needs for diversification,

Farmvllles Mayor Joseph D. Joyner said that even today tobacco Is the mainstay of our economy, with cotton and corn as secondary crops."

Joyner went on to say that In the last ten years Industry has begun to contribute a better balanced economy to this community. The change began about ten years ago with the arrival of the Formica plant here, he ' continued.

As a result, there Is a change In the town.s character In Initial i stages, not only as a change Ih peoples "ttitudes toward accepting broader ideas, but also a change In the towns government and Its services to the people, Joyner noted.

Municipal Services Grow

The mayor said he has seen fantastic development" In

Farmvlllea municipal sffrvlce.s.

Notable among Its new services la a summer recreation program for Its citizens This program was so popular that one phase -of 4t was extended to

year-round operation. The over all program Includes swimming, baseball, basketball, tennis and an art study program.

It Is this art program that how functions throughout the yearr

Other municipal services which have seen rapid growth Include the towns water supply system. 'Tliree new deep wells we c recently drilled to provide additional capacity to the four existing wells. As a result oL'tfeiii^ added capacity the towns avallablKwater supply is being used at only 2& per c^nt of Its total capacity said Joyner.

Farmville has also built a modern .sew'ate treatment plant within the last decade and Is currently building an additional facility. Moreover. recently completed water and sewage line extensions have brought these services to ever^ new housing development in present corporate limits.

Joyner went on to say that

the town Is c mpletlng street improvements and drainage and plans an expansion of Its electrical services as part of Its utilities commission.

"Much bf our revenue ts from the utllltleij department. Joyner said. The remainder of the revenue, about half, comes from local taxe, that enable t h e town to provide additional services that the people want.

This Includes the Farmville Public Library which was a gift to the t'-w 1 from the late Virginia E. avls. Joyner Is current chaliman of the towns library commission.

The first church, the Antioch Dbclples Church, was built In 1934. In^ Its sanctuary men were required to sit on one side and women on the other.

During these rdocaiea the forest was gradually cleared for additional log and frame buildings and for the farm land still vital to the area economy.

The Pitt County Female Institute was opened In 1857 when education for girls was not ,a usual thing. A free school was opened In 1882 on the site of Parmvllles present high school, and In 1898 uohn T. Thorne opened a two-room school.

Farmville also has a new fire station staffed with volunteers from the area. Its facilities include an up-to-date alarm sys

tem throi'gl the town and also three tiucks. Ther is also an eight-man police force today.

Small Beginniq^ Farmville was incorporated In 1872 and by the 1880 census had a population of 111 people. During the next twenty years

population rose to only 262.

Fannvilles first dwelling was a log cabin occupied by pioneer settler Miss Sallie Williams.

A five-room school was IJiijH In. 1903 and In thg early 1920s the V. present hi^b school was bullt>j... f

The tlfai ceneral store opened In 1867 and by 19XI the abandoned st Carolina Railroad had laid tracks into town. In the following years several more stores were established In addition to the Bank of Faimvllle which opened in 1904.

tobacco wa.s Introduced to the area as a supplemental income crop to cotton during these years and In 190.5 two warehous-

' fs for the sale of leaf tobacco were built. In 1907 the Norfolk and Southern Railroad arrived as nw mercantile activity got underway and grew with the Increasing population, ----------

The next years saw rapid growth and by 1920 there were 2,718 people living In the town. Yet the next-'decade, and the years of World War II, brought a population ^decline that did not reverse ^untll* a grad u a 1 climb resumed In the last decade. -j-

Thls decade has seen a gradual climb as more than 20 per cent of* the towns present homeil were bulit and population v?Ithin th town Itself reached 3,997 In 1960 Today PaimviUe operates under the commission form of government with five commissioners In addition to Mayor Joyner and City Clerk and Treas u r e r Harold Allred. The commissioners are Dr, S. J. Aycock, Jr., Tommy Lang. Oliver Murphrey, Sam Walnwrlght and R.L. Smith.

A Land Redevelopment Plan report prepared for these offic

ials estimates that by 1980 Farmville Townships pf^pulatlon will probably be less than 6,727. The last census shows township population at 6,.345.

Thr report contines tr s g-jr-

that the future population dlgec-tlon for Ffarmvllie and the township depends on whether economic opportunity Is provided to retain young people entering the labor force.

With this consideration In mind, Farmville cltlfens established the first full - time Industrial development office east of Raleigh. Under the guidance 1 of Tom Willis, this office was Instrumental In attracting new industry and has also ..hown active Interest for agricultural development In Its effort^-to provide opportunities In the area

With r gard to the Future. Mayor Joyner commented that I think the town will continue to grow Lj Indu.stry, in business and in population. The agricultural aspect of our economy will stabilize and continue as a strong Influence on community life here."

Farmville Catholic Parish Is Growing

MAIN STREET . . . Vehicles crowd the busy downtown ^section of Farmville which former director of the Farmville Economic Council, Tom Willis, says has no empty stores.

FARMVILLE - Father Oor-| don Kendall of Saint Elizabeths { Catholic Church recalls t h a t priests from Greenville started i in 1922 to take care of the few i Catholics here. j

. Noah Biggii of Scotland Neck I was instrumental in getting the | church under way and in 1928 i a building was erected w 11 h | funds contributed by Catholic j centers in the Northern-States.

The small parish was cared for by priests from Wilson until 1940 when a religious order called the Trinitarians took over Its care with five pastors who succeeded each other until Father Kendell arrived In 1%1.

Also stationed here are the Mission Helper Sisters. Us 1 n g Farmville as a headquarters, the four sisters have a main t^k of training adult teachers and'helpingorganizing and conducting religious education programs for young people in the small parishes of Eastern North Carolina.

Father Kendall said that during the last three years young high school graduates have come to the area from Northern and Western states to form a peace corps-type team to a.ssist the sisters and to give help to the poor and needy.

One of their most difficult tasks Is visiting a protestant

population to talk about com-! mon efforts of Christian organ!- | zation toward unity of the! church. he commented. i

Father Kendall also serves | the Ayden and Grlfton congregations that were added to his | pastoral care in 1%2. '

B4"^e Daily RaDacter, OraahVllla, N. C. Progratt and Businatt Ravtaw, 196SWell Developed Family Doctor Service Grew

PARMVILLE - Pour general practitioners in medicine repre-ent a well developed family dofitor service here that is augmented by specialized services from beyond the town.

The four doctors are Dr. John .M. Mewborn. wiio-haa been.Itere lo<.iger than the other doct o r s. Dr. Charles E. Pltzgerlad, Dr. .Thomas H. Patterswi and Dr. ortlmer D. Heizer who arrived lere last Pall.

Oommenting on the development pattern of medical servic

es here, Dr. Pltzgerlad said that Medicine here has been independent.

He noted that there were now two clinics with beds and equipped for overnight services, and also a third facility that was recently opened. Fitzgeralds clinic i is the only one that maintains emergency srvice as a small -Aysiciana i

When Dr. Fitzgerald came here in 1939. it was a very rural practice. Often payments came i only in September when crops

were harvested. j Moreover, there was no mod-: cm equipment until he brought the first local X-Ray unit to the community in the next year.

Today three offices here com-prl.*^; the facilities that caused Dr. Fitzgerald to remark.No^ town of this size had anything much better. This came about as a-result of competition and demand. he continued.

He added that all the doctors here were on the courtesy staff of the Pitt Memorial H^pital and ^

also the Wilson hospital.

NVheii Fitzgerald opened h 1 s first office he had only one nurse to help In his rural type of services. Now his clinic, opened In 1952, has five nurses and one of these Is always on call or duty around the clock.

Fiizgeraid 'said that tiie ctlftlc Is like a glorified office of a fsm^ doctor that evolved from the md offices as Tils heeds grew.

He noted that today the trend Is into specialization that will cause a getting together of doc-

tors in central clinics as people demand more specialists, and pointed out that there would probably be more outlying clinics in the future that derive basic support from larger hospitals.

Rapid Advances Cited

Medical knowledge advances 80 fast mat 1 man today must limit himself in Interests in order to just keep up with one phase of progress, Dr. Fitzgerald asserted, and then added that the big skill for a general practitioner is diagnosis and problem " recog^iltlon in order to route patients to the right specialists.

It takes a man of keen judgment, perhaps even keener than that of the specialistto pin down trouble from a broad range of possibilities. he continued. As a result, the general practitioner still has his place and the demand here will go on.

Dr. Fitzgerald said that he found general practice more personally satisfying and that often he became something of a combination minister, doctor, psy-

chologlat and counselor as he got to know families and their pefaonaJ problems.

Another clinic here was established by Dr. John M. Mewborn who came here in 1935. His first office was on Main St.. and after I Mng. located on Chuicb St. iat a number of years he moved into the present clin:c. liome to Office

Mewbom observed that probably ttie biggest change he saw evolving during his years of work was a shift from home treatment to office treatment and finally treatment in a clinic. He attributed better transportation facilities available to the general public, coupled with a public more educated in moving sick patiaits, as primarily responsible for this evolution.

He noted that he did about one-third of his treatment in home

years ago. and- now 99 per cent of treatment is dun^ bere,

He noted that it was\8,o advantage in that he was able to do better work In an office with sufficient equipment.

Dr. Mewborn said that he and Dr. Fitzgerald were among the few renialnlng dfuB dispensing physicians . There are not many of them left - most doc-tors wiite^rescflptlons for a

pharmacy these days,"

Dr. Mewborn went on to say that the general practltlotier was still the backbone of medicine and is in the lM?st po.sitlon te see total faniily needs as perspective for diagnosing specific illnesses,

Trend Manifested The two younger doctors here. Thomas H. Patterson and Mortimer D. Heizer. have establislied the communitys newest facility

a a visible manifestation of tbla consolidation trend amoiur* doctors.

Both men are general practitioners who depend .leavily a medical services beyond their offices to augument their own work, _

Dr, jpatterson said that his offices make extensive use of the aGilite of the Pitt C o u n t y Memorial Hospital, particularly because of its prbxlmlty to the * Farmvllle area. Moreover, the < Family Clinic works closely wltli the Health department serviCM.

Queried on why he came to Farmvllle, Dr. Patterson rcpU^ that he wanted to go Into sen-eral practice, liked smali ^'immunities, liked a partnership type of operation and saw a great growth potential In tlir town that would support additional doctors.

Farmviile Christian Church Result Of Merger

f*ABMVILL The pi*esetit

congregation of the Farmviile Christian Church is the result of a merger of the former Bethany Church and the Corinth Christian Church which ^ came together in 1904.

The Bethany congregation dat- i es back to 1854 when land for i the congregation^ frame ehuich i was deeded by James W. May. There w'ere 94 members at that time. i

Josephus Latham served as the congregations first pastor.; Todays minister of the merged 4 groups is Rev. Jack M. Daniell.

The Corinth Congregation began in 1830 as the Oak Grove Church in Greene County and -W'as moved into Pitt County in

1863. Tbe old Corinth Cburehr-Seboel roH in 20 classes. The building is located today along Sunday School is under the lead-the Greenville Highway and is ership of Superintendent Frank used now as a pack house. ^ Alien.

He is also a past president of the Farmviile Kiwanis Club.

Utilities Are Main Source Of Revenue

FARMVILLE In discussing city government revenues here, city clerk Harold Allred com- mented that we are fortunate ; In owning t)ur own utilities sys- j tern that includes electrical ser- 1 vices. *

With the ftttids this system provides Farmvllle we are able to accomplish things other municipalities simply can not afford. Moreover, the town has not gone upon its tax rate in years,-- he continued. -Our tax -rate has remained fairly station- j ary, and even though we have ; authorization to Increase t h e j rate, we decided that it was not I needed here. '

The increase in town revenqe is from the utilities commission | whose facilties have had a fast t growth rate that reflects the use of more appliances consum n g | more water and electrical power.

Allred cited dishwashers, garbage disposal units and air conditioners as exemplary of such appliances and went on to note that industrial consumption has j also risen significantly.

I In comparing revenues from I the general fund that is supplied !

' by tax monies and the revenues j of the utilities commission, All-i red showed that in 1961 the gen-I eral fund provided Farmv 111 e with $115,000. This tax income increased to only $117,050 In the last fiscal year.

On the other hand, the utilities supplied Farmviile with $380.377 in 1961 and by last year this had increased to $430.172.

After using that reel for several years the company bought Its first hose carrier. It was an old Model T Ford that looked something like a pickup truck. At that time R. E. Belcher was the first chief of the department here and during the companys fifty-year history there haue been only two otlicr chiefs. Belcher was followed by Ha.ywood A.

Each volunteer i-eceives tlicse benefits at no cost to himself, said Flanagan.

These policies are paid by tlie town of Farmville since the firemen get little other renumcratlon as volunteers. A volunteer gets only one dollar per fire and fifty cents for each of two mwithly meetings of the company.

This building houses the two trucks owne<i by the company today. The equipment, built b5 the American La-France C o m-paiiy. Includes a pumper and tank unlt.s that carry their own water for rural use.

In all, there are today about 40 volunteers In two companies under command of Chief Flanagan. He Joined the unit here in 1950 and had served as the assistant chief for about a dozen years before succeeding Smith.

Flanagan said that the Farmville unit has been a member of the North Carolina State Firemens Association since 1916 and that through this group the town Is able to provide more benefits to the volunteers.

There are two other source.s of instruction in the statew 1 d e training program -- a staff of Instructors within the .'tate Insurance Department in Raleigh, and also through the Fire College and Pump School of t h e State Firemens A.s.sociatlon.

The volunteers in Farmv i 11 c are trained under the programs approved from these three sources. Flanagan noted that in addition to standardized training, his unit also has equipment tliat is standardized with the equipment of other fire companies both in Pitt County and beyond it.

ELECTRIC MEMBERSHIP CORPORATION

We make it possible ror rural sections to enjoy the comfort and convenience of electricity on the farm.

In the early 30't, rural electrification was at a standstill. Scattered farms were supposedly too costly to reach. Only one farm family in ten had or could get electric light and power at a price It could afford.

Then, in 1935, catne the Rural Electrification Administration. Rural people like us could form groups, incorporate, borrow funds ... at modest rates . . . from REA, and

build lines to serve ourselves.

Up to now about 1,000 rural electric systems from coast to coast have borrowed three and one half billion dollars from REA to build 1 V2-million miles of line which serve over 16 million rural Americans.

Over $1.1-billion in principal and interest has already been repaid to the United States Treasury ... on or before due date. And 97% of all Americans who live beyond "the city limits are being served.

The Jet Oil Tobacco Curers...

In the past 30 years I have devoted my tirne to developing and manufacturing improved tobacco curers and components. My first oil cvirer was a big success due to the patented air conditioning feature and the curer being built better than any competitive curer on the market.

R. E. Moyo, President FLORENCE-MAYO NU-WAY CO.

In developing the Jet Oil Curer and Nuway Barn Curing System, the latest developments in oil curers, I felt that there was a need for a Spectal Dual Thermostat and Automatic Timer Controlled Thermostat.

FARMVILLE Response of area citizens here to a summer recreation program established several years ago was strong enough to have one phase of that program become a year - round function.

A streaxnUned program got under way here in 1961 when the Farmville Recreation Com-mls^on was organized w 11 h Tommy Lang as chairman and Joseph Joyner and Sam Wain-wrigbt as members.

Today Allen Benfleld, assistant high school coach here, Is the fuU-tlme summer employees who oversee various phases of the program.

Benfleld commented that FarmviUes people received the prt^ram very well and people from outside the town have also shown great Interest in our work there.*

This is the third year of organized activity in local recreation and in that short time we have added little by little to build a good program for a town of this size, he continued.

Next year we waiU to further develop the activities of the H. B. Sugg School and also the adult activities, he added, because so far most of the erpphas-Is has been for chHdren-S at-vities. But we also Intend Co maintlh what we^have.

The first recreation director here wa, Joe Flake, Jr., an East Canana College student who worked closely with Miss Virginia Gregory of the North Carolina Recreatiiwi Commission tn Raleigh to establish a 12 week multiphased program.

These phases included activities in track, swimming .'bowling, niens softball, little league baseball, tennis, badminton, volleyball. basketball, shuffleboard and art.

It was this art program that was extended by popular demand into a year-round function of the recreation commission.

CemnmnBy Aids _______________

As Its program got under way the commission enlisted the aid of several local organizations to provide facilities and equipment. When local Jaycees offered to help, the comml^lon gave each member a gallon of paint and pointed to the playground facilities.

The town schoolboard turned over to the commission property adjcent to the H. B. Sugg School playground and the National Guard armory for Indoor athle-

^c activities. The Formica Flake-board CoiT)oratlon provided materials to make tables and art easels for classes In a hut made available by the Boy Scouts.

Moreover, a Greenville bowling lane gave, free lessons to children.

This past summer saw the program expand to provide art instruction for 80 children In the town.

Benfleld said that this summer a pee-wee baseball team wa.s begun at the armory for first, second and third graders children too little for the little league and about 40 children began on the fundamentals of baseball there.

Other activities'at the armory Included a basketball clinic and tournaments in pingpong and shuffleboard for about 70 contest-

^.C Powell Bill

Proves Big Help

Belk-Tyler Co.

PABMmLB An anmtal obeok from tbe ftote govern-meot mikee tt possible for small towns to keep their streets in better condition and here the olwck makes it possible to pave more streeta.

Tbe state Powell Bill funds, which municipalitiee may use only for streets or related projects. are appropriated to local governments < the basis of town-owned street mileage and on town population. Tbe state receives this money from a gasoline tax and pro-rates tbe funds back to local levels.

"In FarmvUle we usually use this money for capital improvements. though some of it is allocated for repair. This year our incmne from the funds provided by the Powell Bill was $18,966.95 b sed on 20.48 miles of streets here." said town cleik Harold Allred.

Of this mileage. UA4 is now paved street.

Allred went on to say that the Powell Bill Income is a big help

to munlcipalitiei and many towns are keeping their stre^ in better coodlti(i because of it. "In our case we make an arrangement with property owners who pay ft- two-thirds of capital improvement projects here.

"We then ose^ the Powell ^1 funds to match that two thirds paid by the pn8)eity owners so that this year our street projects could amount to $35,400." Allred explained.

He continued to explain that while each town used the funds in its own way. "we generally use most of our portion for matching funds on capital tnuHove-ment work." It is also possible to use the money for patching, resurfacing and drainage imx>-jects. and even for scmie equipment used in street work.

Other funds from outside corporate limits here include a por-ti<m from Pitt County ABC stoi^ es and also a state check on a pro-rated amount on beer and wine franchises.

Of Pitt Schools

In lut November! general lection, t^e from tbe blghiy publiclEed political races fpr governor of North Carolina and -president of the U.S., was another Issue at stake - a vital ofie for the future of N o r t h Carolinas, and Pitt Countys youth - the $100 mllUon school bond referendum.

Its overwhelming approval on November 3 by the states voters dictated an allotment of nearly one rr lllon dollars for construction aid Improvement within the Pit*. School Unit.

Approval and - distribution of these funds represents the latest In a good many state programs for the advancement of education, all of which have done their part In making North Carolina one of the most progressive ^ates In education.

Pitt County Is one of the most progressive counties In the state in this vital field, and the newly allocated funds will go a long way toward making, It even more so.

The county progresses slowly at first but then faster. Irr 1885, Josephus Latham was ai^lnt-ed the first full-time superint endent oi county schools.

Some organization was achlev-I ed and caisoiidatlons made. The t number of schc^ began 4o decrease and thesize and quality I Increased, as did the number of I students. --

W. H. Ragsdale, whom D. H. Conley, present Superintendent of Pitt Schools describes as "a I moving spirit In the foimdlng of East Carolina College, was named county superintendent in 1894. and again In 1899. and progress continued, . .until the de-i prcsslon. ^

I - State Support Helps I During the depression ! years. Conley says. It looked I as If It was almost Impossible ! to operate. The thing that got 1 schools going again was the be-, ginning of state support in about I 1933.

torlum at Chlcod; a new nigh school at Wtatervllle r four class-rooms and auditorium at Arth-.ur; a gymnasium and four class rooms at oParmvllIe: a new Negro schoorat Bethel: a (our-room building at Wlntervllle s Negro school: and a slx-r o o m building at ParmviUei This project was compleied under the supervision of Conley, who became superintendent In 1932. He ha since served me post longer than any of his pre-dece.ssors.

i Not Always Progressive

The county was not always so piogressive, however. Along with other N. C. counties, Pitt stmggled along for msttiy years with scores of small, one-room school houses. During the Civil War, when times were hard anyway and men were off to war, the few girls In the county with college or evi high school educations were spread thin In conducting classes In the small and scattered units.

But times chanfe and so do aducatlonal values and heeds.

State support of schools mant state responsibility for those things that previously were the burdens of the county. Most Important. of course, was a tremendous lessening of the financial burden, making possible the building of bigger and better schools.

Two major building and m provement programs have come since 1936, one in 1948-49; and another In 1958-59 which wrought the unit to Its present peak of efficiency and consolidation.

The Issuance of bond refereti-dum funds will herald' a new building program In the county one which Conley says is badiv needed. Schools In Wlntervllle, and Bethel need replacement, over 300 new classrooms needed, and new standards'miwst be met.

tlnulng efficiency of operation on the dedicatton of our leaders who believe public educar tlon is_ necessary and shtwld be sustaihd and maintained for the common good.

The main thing that has kept Pitt moving has been the dedication of teachera and principals who have stayed with the work in spite of low salanea. They have gotten satlsfact 1 o n out of seeing children progress.

Wtthout that, he notes. 1 don't care how many buildings or facilities you have, you wwid not achieve anything. Buildings cant teach.

The first program for general improvement In the county after the depression years commenced In 1936, and was completed In 1938^

Major improvements mcluded a new high school at Bethel; a new high echpol at Grtmesland; eight classrooms and aii audi-

The bond Issue, plus couniy funds will go a long way toward those ends, but Con i e y notes the unit will still be tar short of perfect.

Pitt Unit Is Evaluated How good is Pitts C 0 u .11 y School Unit? I think you have to look at the product of the schools, Conley observes, that's the final test of the et-clency of your system. I think Pitt County has. achieved an above average system.

He Is quick to place credit for the units advances and co'ii-

Oulslanding Leaders

Who does Conley site In a long list of county educators for outstanding leadership in the unl*i,a progress through the years?

First named among them Aas R ^G. Pltzgersld. Conleys Immediate ^predecessor who served as superintendent from 1921 to 1932. I think he did, a remarkable job of consolidation. He wantedto ixilld schools In every township so there would be a high school as well as an elementary-, school In every township. This meant sweeping away many smaller schools for consolidation.

A. G. Cox, chairman of ihe Board of Education for 24 years (1899-1923) Is described by ley as a very dedicated >er-son. He was always active In behalf of better schools. He really worked for it.

W.H. Woolard (1923-1949) and J. "S. Tiioye, pr^Tdhtrb f d

chairman, are other chaimeii named by^ Conley as nt^siaitd' Ing leaders. Other men that have geen^helpfuj Include M.O. Blount of Beth, L*r C. Arthur of GreenvUle, Tom Gardner of Grifton, Dr. Paul E. Jones, John T. Thoroe, J. Cr GaUoway, R. A. Little, uid a host oi board members too numerous to me.v tlon here.

G. R. Whitfield, first Negro su. pendsor In the county, Is cited by Conley as being a man dedicated to school develwment.' H. B. Sugg of Parmville, Miss Hazel Jordarr. and many, many more people have been Involved In the units progress.

Presently. Conley works with a host of people in the operation of the unit. Aside from the chairman ar.d members of the Board of Education, he has two assistants and 14 other staff members In the county offices.

The present Board of Education is composed of five members, with Moye as cbalrmwr. William F. Stokes of Stokes is vice-chairman; and other members Include G. E, Trevathan of Fountain. E. W. Fleming of Grlftpn, and T. G. Worthington of Vyden.

Conley, himself a graduate of Duke University and life ripm-ber In the National Education Association, Is assisted by > S Alford and Thomas L. Craft.

Conlsys Staff

Alford, whose duties are for the most part administrative, Is also a Duke graduate. He holds a Masters degree from ECC and -bar worked In-the -Pitt unit for 13 years.

Craft oversees many of the units special service and auxiliary programs. - Hetoo, te a Duke graduate, ana he, too. holds an MA from ECC. Tlie for

mer principal ot Ayden Elementary School has also been lit the county for 13 years.

Othuer personnel . deemed vital to the operation (3f the unit include;

WUllam C. Wiggins. Hlgb School Supervisor; Mrs. Kattk ryn Lewis, Guidance Director; Mrs. Lillian Bradley, Elementa^ ry Supervisor; Mrs. Edna Etrl Baker, Elementary Supervisor; Mrs. Jeanette Whitehead, Speech Therapist; and Mrs. Marion Wilkes and Mrs. Susan Davis, special teachers of the gifted. ----------------------

Office personnel, with out whose valuable services the

I unit's voluminous amount of pa^ perwork, including all record keeping, correspondence, bookkeeping, etc.j would not be accomplished, include:

Mrs. Ethel Tucker, administrative secretary who has served the unit since 1939; Mrs. Helen Chrlst<^her, bookkeeper; Mrs. LOQls Lee, typist; Miss Helen Vandlford, bo<Akeep e r; Miss Magnolia Gorham, tjrplst; Mrs. Linda Teel, stenographer; and C. S. Whlchard attendanpe officer, whose valuable services aid in maintaining the u n 11 a ' attendance, often to the chagrin (but for'their own good) oi some of those who attend.

Operating the Pitt County School unit Is a tremcnd o u s job. Its an expensive one and a complicated one. But these people do it well. And they do it 365 days a year, not just 180 as many folks undoubtedly think. 4 ^her eontrtbutlng factor

to the units successful operation should be mentioned: the work (rf the County Commissioners. ".....

Li spite of setback from three fires and minor financial dlffl-cultiee the development of Pitt Countys Sheppard Memorial library has been marked by an almost continual growth.

Today Its collection of about 75.U00 books Is readily available to every citizen of Pitt County.

A library for Greenville was conceived In the early 1900s by a group of citizens in the End of the Century Club who undertook the job of soliciting public subscriptions to finance their project. The first library opened its doors to a small collection in November of 1904 in the old Masonic Temple building.

At the time there was no paid librarian. Instead, the post was filled by volunteer help that kept

the library open at certain hours each day.

Later Mrs. W. A.-Bowen became the first volunteer tOTnain-tain the library on a regular schedule.

Today the library Is staffed by ten full-time people and three part-time employees under the leadership of head librarian Elizabeth Copeland, and in addition to seiwlng Greenville its services now extend throughout Pitt County.

In addition to its own 75,000 volumes, the Sheppard library now makes nearly every volume in North Carolina available to Pitt County citizens through the state Interllbrary loan system In Raleigh. Thus, if a Cox Crossroads resident needs a volume

found only at Duke University or the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, the book can be delivered to the Sheppard library and taken to its borrower on a bookmobile. '

Miss Copeland also told 6f having been able to deliver volumes borrowed in the same manner from the United States Library of Congress in Washington. D. C.

Miss Copeland assumed the duties of head librarian in September of 1954. Her prior library experience includes slmi 1 a r positions with the Beaufort-Hyde-Martln Regional library. She also hats worked as a market researcher for the Curtis Publishing Company In Philadelphia and as research librarian for the Bureau of Governmental

First Librarian

The first trained librarian at Sheppard library was Ora Pullen who was hired In 1924 when the library began operating on a full-time daily schedule. ' In 1926 the city fathers approved a womans club request to support two assistants.

. The library did not become a part of Greenvilles city government functions until 1928 when the womans club presented it to the town of Greenville. At that time the town established a board of trustees to govern the librarys operations.

During these years the libra-' ry was housed In a room of the old Evans St. School which hi January of 1929 was destroyed by fire. However, records had been saved and after moving Into a temporary building on the same property, action was taken to establish a substantia] and permanent facility. f

Instrumental in raising funds for this facility were Dr. and Mrs, Carr who extended their fund raising efforts beyond Greenville to Hanover, Pennsylvania. where Pitt County native Hai-per Sheppard had successfully established his Hanover 5Koo Cohipany. Thi' Carrs quei^ led Sheppard on the possibility of his contributing funds to the library as a memorial to his parents. They requested $20,(HK).

However. Sheppard responded with a more generous gift and agreed to provide $50,(X)0 If three conditions were mot. First, the toan was to provide a site. Second, he was to have the per-ogatlve of naming two members of a three man building commit-tect and finally, that Greenvilles citizens were to support the library In the future.

The conditions were agreed upon and when the Greenville City School System deeded lUs Evans Street property to the city for this purpase, Sheppard Increased his original pledge by anotlier $10.000 with orders to employ a good architect to design a structure appropriate to that Mte.

When the building was fkiallv completed, Sheppard had seen that it was ecjulppt'd with the mast up to date facllltlrs of hl.s time. Moreover, he had provided plenty of space for future expansion.

, Ou October 17, 430, the Ubim-

ry was formally presented to Greenville by Harper Sheppards son, Lawrence.

During the nestt decade the librarys collection smd services continued to expand, and sinc:e 1941 state funds have been available to further extend services. These state funds, together with city and county appropriations, made it possible to provide U-brary services to rural areas through branches and book depositories. *

Bookmobilea

Prom these beginnings the present county-wide Ubrary system was developed, and today two roving bookmobiles, with a capacity of 16,000 books each, make up the main part of this service.

The first library on wheels was a small convei*ted panel truck that was put on the road in April of 1964. In had been financed with funds solicited In Greenville.

In 1964, bookmobift* circulation alone had climbed to more than 129,000 volumes* From the Sheppard library itself more than 110.600 books had been loaned and the total Pitt County circulation, which Includes not only the bookmobiles but also the Carver library and those of other towns, reached above 297,-480.

Operating today on a budget of more than $87,290, the Sheppard Librarys materials Include not

only books, but also phonograph i records, films, pamphlets and I periodicals. j

In addition to providing, refer-] ence materials and recreational i reading for students and adults,! there is also a special section ' set apart for childrens litera-

ture. This section features not only Reading materials geared to childrens reading levels, but al

so han shelves and furniture suitably designed for them.

MLss Copeland told of how the library staff ha* given special! Instruction to youth groups such as the scouts when they made ; visits to the library. |

She said future plans include ; not only an expansion of childrens services to Include a special childrens librarian, but also include looking forward to the

establishment of community neighborhood branches to meet Increasing needs as Green v i 11 e spreads over a wider area.

Further planning forsees opep-ation of the present facility as a main administrative unit that can also house a social reference collection, a business and industrial collection and a North Carolina <J0^tlon.

Not a very atrlngent requirement.

So, in 1760, five men, John Hardee. John-Simpoon,-William spelr. George Moye. and Buck were appointed as commissioners for Uie purpose of building a court house, prison, and pillory and stocks aa the land of John Hardee, about a mile outside QreenvUle on what la now the Washington Highway.

A tax of two shillings on each taxable poU In the county was levied for two years to pay for^ It. Courts, during construction were conducted at the home of John Hardee.

But as tbpe went by. and the

Another court house was erected in about 1773, on a lot in front the present court house. It remained for several years until Pitts third count house was built following legislative approval of a new one in 1789. No record of the fate of that second court house is available.

WUUam Blount, a local man, pushed the bill of 1789 through legislature, and the resulting court house stood untU 1858.

The buUding was burned In that year and was complete loss. It was supposedly bu^ed by a man from Tennessee Who wanted to destroy a certain will fUed there.

Pitts next court house was constructed in i860 on the site of

the present courthouse and stood for 50 years. A great fire m 1910 destroyed the court house and jail, and several other build-ings - raiising rtnmapo of flhnut

The Ipory of mit County Court llouaeB is a long and colorful one which promiaes to become even mor colorfur in the near future.

For during the past 11 months, Pitt residents have witnessed a pit tihpie the C 0 trn t y Court House in Greenville. A new hcKUttoa l swtftbr approacb-Ing comptetlon.

under the puspipes of the federal Acpeleratea Public Works Program, m wm so<m be the home of a brand-new court house, and the old one will have undergone oulte a face-lifting.

Constructed at an approximate cost of $913,269, the new. modem structure adjoins the old one, and replaces the old Jail bouae. which was tom down to accommodate this latest chapter in the history of Pitt court house buildings.

The new four-story building will feature an all new Jail with a capacity of 84 (a discouraging note to would-be offaiders). and with kitchen facilities.

The jaJl. which is located in the basement (rf the building, contains a dozen cell blocks. Wltb separate facilities for men, women, and Juvenile offenders.

On the first floor will be situated the county tax collection and supervisors offices: the

County CommissiMiers Room; and the Auditors Office.

The second floor features of-ftces for the Judge Chambers: a Jury room; court room: g pris-;* oner security call; and a law library.

Original plans called for Installation of the County Board of Education offices on the third floor, along with other office space. It ie unlikely now, however that the schocd units facilities will lie tirchitiBd;--------------------

An auditors vault and ator-age area, and a tax department storage area, along with five other offices comprise the fourth flo( of the new building.

Renovations ht the old building have tmmght about many changes, such as addlti(mal Register of Deeds offices ^ki the basement, and a re-locatlon of the Sheriffs offices to space now occupied by the Clerii of Court offices.

The old court rown will remain in use, giving th^county two such facilities. S u^ e r ior Court iwMeedlngs will probably be conducted In the new court room, leaving the old for Recorders Court terms.

At Ihf aeoUon adjoining the two buildings are a lobby, conference rooms, toilet facilities, and elevators for each floor.

modern design for ^ the structure was chosen to blend hi with the old building, des-

gte architectural differences in e two.

Time, then, la growing short, though ofliciahi remain confident work will be completed on schedule.

According to County Auditor H. Rtginald Gray, the new i>uild-ing is to be entralty heated and air-conditioned, and though present plans do not call for air-cGHKtianing of the old boilding. facilities for, doing so will be added later.

The exterior of the now structure is of {ue-cast stone, which

architect George W. Shoe saye is a natural stone embedded In concrete, giving it a pebbled texture.

Limestone was origlnauy con-aidered for the project, but waa-p' discarded on the contraclbr* option. ^

The building has a flat roof, which Gray says was less expensive and still ptfbve much easier to maintain than a roof such as the one m the old buiid-Ing, which has Ui past years presented many maintenance problems.

Though Pitts new court house Is a four-story affair, It stands no highV than the two stories of the old building. Modern construction method.s and much lower ceilings account for the additional space.

"All in all," Gray said at one point during oonstruction 1 a s t

year, "the new County Court House 'should prove to bs a flQf and welcomed adcution to

Welfare Dept Affects

Hundreds Of Families

ia based on the families need above their i*esources.

In 1951, although there was federal provisions before. North Carolina added Aid to the Permanently and Totally Plsabled, and APTD was also added la Pitt County.

In 1961, another phase of public welfare was added with the passage of the Kerr-Mllls law which provides hospltallsat 1 o n for elderly persons who cannot afford their own medical services. This program was instituted In Pitt County in 1961, under the first part, which provides these servlcei to persona who do not receive public assistance and in Julf of 1964. the second part, known as Medical Aid to the Aged was Instituted.

One of the largest and for some the most important phase of the local welfare departments service comes in the area of child welfare.

In Janiry, 1954, Pitt County I added its first full-time child I welfare worker, beginning a spe^ clalized service with a qualified

FRHENT STAFF LEADERS . . , Inelud# from laft to right Mra. Glorii H. ButUr, clorictl ouporvlsor; William T. Gartman Jr.> Intarim diroctor; and Mist Dorothy L. Bolton, casoworkor aoporviaor. Gartman, formarly childwolfaro auparviaor, took over tho rolna of tho diroctor In Novombor of 1 9M whw J. S. Grlmot III rotignad to join tho Stato Wolfaro Board's Community Consultants Division.

Pubhe Welftra M Pitt County dates back as fiu: aa Just after the turn of the century, but the welfare programs then and BOW would hardly compare.

In its early days here In the county, public welfare c<mlted of a superintendent, namely the county school superintendent, who looked after getting what help was available for dependent children and administering the county home program.

The Pitt County Welfare Department came into being after 1918, when the State Legislature passed a law making it mandatory for counties with more than 45.000 in population to have a full-time Welfare Departm e n t with a full-time superintendent.

First Full-Time Superintendent ' The first full-timeSuperintendent in this county was Marvin Blount, a local attorney, who served from July 1, 1919 until October 1. 1920.

Blounts position was only temporary and he took the "job until a permanent worker was found.

On October 1. 1920. K.T. Pu-treH, a Onfrtf CoUhty tlve and graduate of GuUford College, became the Welfare Superintendent. Putrell, with one secretary to comprise his staff, moved into offices set up in the Blount Building on Third Street. Within the year the offices were moved into the Pitt County Courthouse, occupying the two offices on the third floor, on the west side of the building.

In 1951, after Pitt Memorial Hospital was opened and Pitt General abandoned the Welfare Department moved Into the Old Hospital Building on John son Street where it remains today.

The early welfare programs, under Putrell, consisted almost entirely of what was termed as Mothers Aid, similar to todays Aid to Pamilles with Dependent Children (APDC).

Putrell, wha retired as director in 1959, after serving ,39 years, recalls that his office worked with Its original staff. a superintendent and a secretary for severatt years before another W'orker was added.

It was not a question of giving away money then," recalls Putrell. All we had to give was service.

Among the services, other than Mothers Aid, which offered subsistence funds from state and county sources, there w'as included In the Welfares duties, to care for orphans and see that they got Into homes, helping get people into Caswell Training Center In ^ .ston and working with the countys Juvenile courts.

The local department also served as parole officer to former penal inmates who lived in the area. Putrell remembers that departm 3ht carripd approximately 30* to 40 parolees at a time during those years.

New Deal Programs It was not until this time, when the work load became too heavy for one man, that the department began to graw, IS 1926, Putrell hired another worker.

In 1933, the Pitt County Welfare Department received a <^eck for $3,750 from Washington, D.C. with specific orders to spend it, and the Pitt County Welfare Department started down a lone roSd on continuous growth that It is .still feeling.

This was the first of many checks the county received to carry out the programs of Franklin D. Roosvelt to end the Great De'pression. The local department hand: d all the administrative duties connected with the federal programs at this time.

Putrell, recalling the memories of the old days, says that

worker for the first time. The Child Welfare Division handles cases ranging frwn a child suffering from neglect and juvenile court cases to arranging foster homes and caring for emotlonil ^ problems of local children. I When Putrell retired In January of 1959. J.S. Grimes HI wsis i hired as Pitt Welfare Superinten- | dent. His rvlce as superintend- ent did not last long, for through his efforts as president of t h e j North Carolin Association of ! County Welfare Superintendents, Grimes Instituted a move to have the title changed to direc-

tor. ..............................

Grimes, a native of Mecklenburg County, had held positions of Welfare Director In Davidson and Camden counties, as well as lesser positions In Mecklenburg.

Years of Growth Under Grimes, the local Welfare Department experienc e d six years of continued growth. Pitt^ County found itself blessed with a new breed of professional social workers.

When Grimes became the administrative head of the local department there were 18 ptlr-sons on the staff. When he Resigned his post in Npytmbet^ of 1964 thre were>0'Tnembers.

This new bird's main characteristic is not numbers. . . . but a group of social workers much unlike the religious charity groups. It is a group of dedicated serAants. highly gained in their chosen field of social welfare.

Following Grimess resignation W.T. Gartman, a young Virginia native was promoted from Child Welfare Supervisor to the directors post.

Unlike the days gone by, the present Welfare Department has I money, though its real special- ! ty is service.

To realize the volume of ser- vice that goes on In the local , department, one must necessari- i ly look at money.

Including County, State a n d Federal Funds, the local Welfare Department will .spend $304,588 this fiscal year, which : ends in June. Of this total. $36,- 680 will go to dependent chll-

he and his Welfare Board were j ren. $36,4.55 will go to the dls-

meeting very often, sometimes twice a week, to work out plans for local programs and give approval to them.

It seems that for several years back then that I was In ' some kind of Welfare meeting almost every night, said Fu-trell.

Big Rush for Welfare

i Public Welfare got Its real : push In 1935, with the passage i of the Social Secuiity Act In the

abled and $56,297 will go to the aged. Less than half the budget for the department will be used as money payments to indigents.

Old Age Assistance, or a.^i It Is better known, OAA, provides financial assistance to elderly persons, who have not been able to save for their old age and are not able to work.

Aid to Pamilles with Dependent Children, or AFDC. provides as.sistance to families where the, bread-winner Is not In the home, either 7 through death, divorce or desertion. In both cases, financial assistance

When a juvenile Is first arrested. a child welfare worker Is called in end sticks with the ca.se throughout.

Another important area is the .sy.stem of foster homes set up through the local department. At the present time there are 15 such homes in the county where orphans, neglected children and delinquents can be temporarily placed.

Foster homes lead to another point of information which Is that Pitt Countys Welfare Department is part of one of the mo.st competent adoption agencies In the state or nation.

Dr. W.E. Lee of Wilson was hired.^ here in .October 1963 but died a month later. He was succeeded in January 1964 by Dr. James Cranford, who now holds the po.rt.

New Plant Facilities

When the ciiiilc opened In the Tucker Building it was on a temporarily basis, until facilites rould be added to the Health Department could be constructed.

On July 16. 19.56, ground was broken on the $49,000 Men t a 1 Health Wing, but a very important figure was missing in the ceremonies. Dr. Walter Humbert, who had been so instrumental in gaining both the clinic and the new building, passed away less than a year before. His wife, Mrs. Grace Humbert, participated in the ceremonies.

The building was dedicated to Dr. Humbert on November 1, 1959.

The 2,900 square feet unit was financed by a $30,000 appropriation from the 1957 North Carolina General Assembly and $10-000 from the Pitt Coimty Com-m1ssioner.s. $2,000 was available from the Walter C. Humbert Memorial Fund.

Name Changed

In December of 1964, the name of the Pitt Clinic was changed to the Coastal Plain Mental

Health Center. The name "Pitt County" was deleted because the clinic or center as It is called now, serves a 10 county area and future plans call for it to serve an even larger area.

^ Future Development

The Coastal Plain Mental Health Center Plans to go Into an overall expansl(m program in the near future. Detailed plans are not available at this time but Dr. Cranford says that there will be a large addition to the plant facilities some time soon.

This expansion will either come in the form of an addition to the Humbert Wing or as an additional wing for Pitt Memorial Hospital.

The expansion has been necessitated by Increased activity at the center with its present program ind this program will he greatly expanded in the near future.

The Center now offcg^ only *^u't-patOTt service, that. Is. patients who come to the clinic for treatment. Cranfof has an

nounced that an expanded program will call for In - patient service, which will amount tp a small hospital withlir the clinic. or a special wing Pitt Memorial that will be under the auspices of the Mental Health Center.

Cranford also said that the center will also go into what is termed . day hospital, where the patients stays at home and, comes to the cUnlc daily for treatment, therapy and other activities.

With ie present 2.900 square feet of space for the ccn t e r, there is about half enough space for the operation of its program. The expanded faclll t y will alllow the center to adequately serve Northeast e r n North Carolina as has been proposed.

The emotionally 111 person is usually characterized by being very sensitive and having a tendencyto distort iacts. Therapy is intended to help that person adjust to life and to assume a

more mature pattern of behavior, which is suitable to his status as an adult.

When a p^son first comes to the center, l^h he and his fam ily are interviewed by the psy ciatrlc worker. The social worker obtains a history of the family and the patient and often times writes away for past histories 0 hospltalizaUrjn. *

The second visit has the pw tient meeting with the Centers psychiatrist, which is Dr. Cranford. However If the social work er sees tiat the case Is an emergency, ..rrangements will be made to sec tlie psychiatrist much socer than ordinarily, because apppintments are scb-duied so far In advance^

If hospltalliAtlon is required immediatf , this U done Ibrotigh commitment procedures wliif;!! are handled by the clerk ol iip'rtor court.

The non-emergent patient, re ceives* a complete psychiatric examination on his second visit, and if therapy is indicated plans are worked out with the patlenj^ concerned.

If the patient is a child, plans are made for the psychiatrist to see the child one hour a week and the parents one hour a week for therapy.

In the case of an adult, the patient is assigned to one of the thcr:.,ry groups which meets one and three-quarter hours each week.

In very rare instances, plans are made for the patient to re celve individual therapy on continued basis but this does not happen often since the ccn t e serves so many people with an Inadequate sh.ff for this type of service.

Group therapy cwisists of eight or ten patients who meet together with wie of the center staff members on a regular basis and discuss their various j)ro-blems freely.

It is through this thera^ that the goal of psychiatric treatment is obtained.

more efUdeat methods of aooom-plithliif our jobs.

The baaio principies of aooount-ing, Qfiy explains, havt not changed through the years. Progresa In the depgrtflimt. or ny accounting departnMnt, can be made only by more efficient or-ganteaHoD and naw and better bualneee machinery.

Trter to my day thla oounty had built up a reputation for good financia] management, Gray recalls. The oounty used to employ a firm that eame in and eet up basto aooounting orda. I can say they did an excellent Job. Every CPA firm that Ive had dealings with since Ive been here feels that we have as good a set of records, or better, than any county they have encountered.

When you come Into this office" and want some Infornjatiopi we can give It to you. We know Whats going on, he emphaslzee.

Five employes compose the staff of the departir, t. all Fork under Oray'e immediate supervision.

Mrs. Margaret Roberta is head bookkeeper. She has in my op^n. t' nibst responsible Job here, Gray comments. She aea that the money gets where ita supposed to go.

Mrt.^TCIIaabetb Leggett Ireepo records and bocrics for the ABC Board, and writes the payroll for every county employe and keeps payroll records.

Miss Bammyc Langley, Gray points out. writes all county checks, takes care of indexing and does budgetary account 1 n g records, which guide me in seeing that all agencies stay w^ln their budgets. jMrs. Shi. ley Worthlngttm has

a multitude of Jobs. She prepares most regiateri, helps Mrs. Roberts, does most chei^ng (rf the Register of Deeds books, handles virtous expanse records, and helpa post taxes.

Mrs. Verna Klks, the fifth but by no meabs least important employe in Gray's department, does tedei^ of minutes, olerl-oal work in the eoua^'t surplus food program, and handles all correspondence.

They Andtt the Andlter Certlfl'- Public Accountant firms are also called in periodically to audit financial records of some agencies. A prime example would be the County School Unit, whose recmds were audited in Noveralter.

As Gray puts It, the county hires auditors to audit the' aud

itors office.

Though he has sines been made head of his separate unit. Gray still works often with officials In ths oounty Tax Department. The Tax Supervisor. Gray says, is respons.ble for assessment of property in the oounty, and for tax computations. Im responsi-fOT issemt^ of ths budget.

He ooUeets the money, depo Its it in the bank, and we see that the money is accounted for and distributed as designated by the budget.

Gray and his staff do a big Job, and an Important one. It takes a good days work every day to do it right. And they do. They have been since at least August of 1952, though Gray says I understand I had some mighty good predccessom.

A Complex Job

Grays Job Is enormously complex. and the following brief outline of some of bis duties does not begin to explain In depth the funetione of the auditor and his staff. The duties of the auditor include:

A keeping of records of dates, aources, amounts of all Items of receipt, and dates, pairees or contractors, specific purposes and amounts of every disbursement of county funds.

A requirement that every office and employe recording or disbursing money of the county to keep the same records.

An examlnatlcm once a month or whenever specified by the Comity Commissioners, of aU books, accounts, records, vouchers, and other records of all officers or employes recording or expending mcmey of the oodntY. ' ,

Periodical statements of the financial condition of the county to be filed with the County Board of Commissioners.

The auditors office is prln-dpally responsible for all accounting and financial records of the comity, Gray sums up. We keep all the books and records. I sign aH checks and -am responsible for maintaining adequate and accurate records of all dlabursements and receipts of the county. *

Other duties also fall to Grays department, and though he Is not offlcally designated as County Manager, he says; I do perform many of the functions of one. as the Board directs.

In essence, they (County Manager and auditor) are one and the same.

Gray is also clerk to the Board of 'Commissioners "and -keeps minutes of every meeting. He Is disbursing agent for the ABC Board, and keeps records, writes all checks, and disburses -the funds of that agency.

The average aueament ratio In surrounding eastern North Carolina counties la 60 percent, and though their tax rates In some caeea are lower than Pltt'a. their residente pay more In tax money.

With completion of the county revaluation (conducted once every ^ght years accordtag to

state law) recently, Pitt's assessment ratio went up from 8S and one-third percent to 80 percent.

The county's tax rate, however, Is expected to descend correspondingly. The new tax rate would have been lower by about 43 cents, aray says.

The benefit derived from such a measure is Important: a countys borrowing power (Its bonding capacity) Is determined by Its assessment ratio. The higher the ratio, the higher the bonding capacity. Pitt had about reached its bonding limit until the new ratio was determined In December.

Gray la Familiar Gray, though not now connected with the county tax department. is thoroughly familiar with Its operation. He served for several years as County Auditor and Tax. Supervisor, until the division of the two departments In 1955.

In that year, the tax collectors and tax supervisor's offices

were combined, and the auditors office made a separate department with Gray as Its head.

Harold Allred was appointed Supervisor and Collector when the division came. He served the post until 1958, and was replaced In March of that year by Robert S. Moye, who stlH fiHs the Job.

An act of the 1927 General Assembly called for the establishment of a tax fflBctor*8 office, but it was not until 1931 that the office was established. Until that time, taxes were cdUected by the County Sheriff.

Henry Andrews was the first appointed tax collector. He operated the office as a separate department from the Supervisor until the changes in 1955.

Aside from Moye, the department now employs Fred Owens as his assistant, and John Carrington and T. R. Rouse as deputy collectors; A. L. Woolard and Joseph M. Hart In the Supervisors office along with Mrs. Edna Rose Stokes, Mrs. Linda R. Knox and Mrs. Mary Jean Fleming. Mrs. Grace B. Forrest Is a teller in the Collectors office.

sessments, and of levying and collecting those taxes begins, for aU practicsl purposes, in December.

On tha first Monday In December of each year, the Tax Supervisor meets with the County Commissioners and recommends names of people for appointment as list takers for the coming year.

He recommends a schedule of values to be used for assessmecit of property, which begins on January 1. List takers in each township In the county then b% gm bperttioiii.

During that month all residents are required to pay a visit to the list taker in their respective townships to list their taxable property, both real and personal.

Upon^-completion of this task, list takers dose out their books and return them to the tax of-hces in the County Court House where taxes are assessed, real property transferred to new owners, new property added to the books, and owners sent notices of valuation.

Records are completed and the overall county assessment Is determined. The County Commissioners determine the tax rate for that year based on the requirements of the budget for the county that year.

Taxes are then eonoputed by the Supervisor for every Individual taxpayer and bills are maned out. This usually is done about the first Monday September Taxes Become Dae Taxes tMScome due and payable on October 1, and the Collector is responsible for their collec

Pitt OMintya Health Department waa eetablished in 1917; with one doctor, Dr. M. T. Ed-lerton and a secretary. The ori-final department was located on the third Ooor of the County Courthouse, across from t h e Qrand Jury Room.

Prior to this date, the only public health program in the county was that the County Commissioners hired a Health Officer a pari time basis. His job ]Ndia to administer the County Home and walch over inmates in the County Jail and the local prison unit.

A portion of his job was working with Indigent persons, though not on a personal basis. He was

when the County Commissioners purchased the Tucker Building Ml Third Street.

Another move was not in store until 1955 when the county built new Health Department offices next to the new Pitt Memorial Hospital.

BuUt at a cost of $82,050. the new building provided adquate space for the county's > Ipublic health program.

The Health Departrnent was built on the 17.S acre plot gli^n by the Jesse Roundtree Moye family in his honor, as was Pitt Memorial._ -

Though its primary purpose is to prevent and control communicable diseases, the department also works to preserve sanitation. educate the public on prevention and control of diseases and rehabilitate the handicap^ ped.

SaaitatloB. Program The Health Departments Sanitation Division, under the direction of E. L. Kilpatrick, spends all its time miclng sure that the milk, meat and prepared foods served to Pitt Oountians are in top sianitary oonditlon. They also check sewage disposal in rural areas.

Dairies, meat markets and restaurants are inspected periodically by Pitts three santitar-Ians. This includes everything from the dairy bam and processing plant and the meat maJ^ ket. to the school lunchroMn and the hot dog stand.

These facilities are thoroughly Inspected nd graded according to rigid specifications set up by the state.

School Health Program It is through the school hbalth program that the largest segment of the Pitt County citizenry is reached by the Health Department.

The department provides a broad program of health educar tion and service and a large

scale immunisation program.

State law requires that counties provide immunisation for certain disease in the scho<d.

Also, the department assists in the investigation of some disease that' a teacher might notice in one of her pups.

Representatives of the.depc^-ment visit each school in the county on a regular basis, consulting with teachers, examining pui41s and keeping a close watch on the overall health picture.

Rabies Control program

Rabies control is a very important concern of the local health department.

Department employes are constantly answering calls from throughout the .-.county about stray dogs. Though state law requires that all dogs be vaccinated, the Health Department has some trouble in seeing that^thls law is obeyed. Particular prob-igms arise when a fapilly brings a di in fnn outside the county. '

Control of ^ Venereal Disease Health officials here in Pitt idce great emphasis on the control of venereal, 'disease which has worsened as the population of tho nation became translstory.*

A epidei atologist from the Public Health Service is located here in Pitt County and his time is devoted entirely to the detection. treatment and preventlMi of venereal diseases.

Prom the health standpoint, the control of venereal disease is very important since it results ki mental Illness, surgery, heart diseases and even death.

In addition to the large and tedious task of tracking down victims, great emphasis is placed on educating the public on the evils of venereal diseases. Complete Program of Clinics Among the most extensive work carried out by toe local health department is the d4i^C8 that are held here in OPilOTVllIe as well as in otoer towns of Pitt County.

Thesedlnlcs are held for the medically indigent persons who could hot afford to receive these services through a private phy-slclan. ,

Pitt offers clinics for rheumar tic fe\cr, speech and hearing (one of a very few in the state), orthopedics, maternity clinics. Infants, *^post-partum and planned parenthood, chest x-ray, chest clinic, venereal disease and immunization clinics. Just recently a clinic waa added for epilepsy and other neurological disorders. ^ ,

Department Directors , j As mentioned before, Dr. M.j T. Edgerton was the first direc- tor of the Pitt County Health j Department in 1917. Late in that 1 year, he resigned and was succeeded by Dr. C. P. Chester.

Dr. George Basnlght eerved during toe 1940's and he wgs succeeded in 1952 by Dr. Walter Humbert.

Humbert, one of the most popular directors, lead a constant drive to Improve the local de-iMutment until when It moved Into its present facilities in 1954, it was considered (me "of the best wnd deputments in North Carolina, with many services that toe city department did not have available.

The spirit of Improvement in Dr. Humbert lead In 1956 to the opening of Pitt County Mental Health Clinic, the (mly clinic of its type east of Raleigh.

Humbert also lead toe drive to obtain new facilities for the clinic in an extension of the

Health Department.

Dr. Humbert died In 1957 and was noT able To see the dtelc

move into its new buildkig, which was dedicated to his memory.

Shortly rner his death. Dr. Georgia V. Mills assumed the duties of Health Director. She resigned in 1980.

In 1961 Dr. John M. Putrell, a nephew of K. T, PutreU, Pitts first Welfare Director, was hired as director. He came oiit of private m-acUce to tte the job and after a year,.resigned to return to private practice.

In September of 1962, Dr. Robert Eugene Fox. then a 32-year veteran of public health in North Carolina, took over the directors post. A native of Hillsboro, Dr. .PoXq came to Pitt County from the position of Health Director for the combined depart ents of Montgomery and Stanley Counties.

When the channel was c o m-plete, technicians and conservationist moved into operation.

Work of Conservationist In the early days, it was the work of the conservationist to

ing out of the planning stages.

To establish a watershed project such as Grindle Creek, local

residents must first realize that there is a need for such a project and jnake a request for it. The Department of Agrlcultufe provide Individual farmfers with , lannlng parties assign-

asslstance In carrying out con-1 to do preliminary studies and servation practices under the j completion of studies.

No exact cost estimates were available for the project, but It Is financed on a cost sharing basis between local farmers and the federal, government. Local participating farmers W'ere assessed 32.C per cent of the cost, with the Federal Government appropriating funds to cover 67.7 per cent of the cost.

Electric Motor Field Changing

There has been a terrific change in the electric motor business, probably as much or more than in any other area of industry. says W.H. Smith of the Electric Motor Shop.

Our new motor sales have increased by percentage as t h e progress of mass production increases. In five years, repair shops will be only statioiiis for changing motor products.

We are adapting our own business to meet this chang 1 n g trend, continues Smith. As we move into the new' mechanized era. man is being replaced by machine: and we must modify our'company to,suit this need.

In the future, sales engineers will have a larger role. The Electric Motor Shop is^ trying its best to have on hand specialized mo-. to ..When the demand arises.

The Electric Motor Shop offers electric sales and service to its many customers. It has been in operation for the past 18 years.

The business, located on 400 Boyd Avenue, employs five people and serves an area of Eastern North Carolina.

Smith if a native of Macclesfield. He attended South Edgecombe High School and is an I.C.S. Electrical Engineer grad-ugte of the Coyne Engineering School 0 Chicago.

He ii married to the former Grace Elizabeth Humphrey of Mow Hill and is the father of ope child.

first step because SCS workers find it hard to get a farmer to iniate drainage practices if there is no where for the water

to drain, .....

Following the completion of the channel, a complete land study, is made of every particlpat i n g farm. This study gives detailed information cn every type of soil and the Tarm, whetheij it is low and wet or high and (dry.

Working With Faribers Conservationist take wis land study and go to the farm. They examine the situation on every different type of soil there, evaluate the problems and offer suggestions to the farmer.

In offering a suggestion, the conservationist doesnt just say, use contour plowing to eliminate erosion. He offers several suggestions, that either apart or together would solve the farmers

problem. ----

Take for Instance a farmer who has a field that is on a slight hill with a two per cent rise. The field is 400 feet long and will drop two inches from end to end. ^

For many years the farmer had not realized how this slight rise could affec^'him and had unknowingly plowed his rows down the rise for 400 feet.

When the study showed the rise, conservationists went to work on the problem. They figured that the Tahd would Tose 20 tons of good top soil In a year and on a field of this type four tons is the maximum.

In offering suggestions, the conservationist told the farmer that he could terrace the field half way, cutting his rows^ tir half and also reduce erosion by one half. He suggested that the farmer use the contour plowing method which v^ould also reduce it by half.

Either of these suggestions used .separately would reduce the soil loss by erosion by half, down to 10 tons per year. However, if both of the practices are used, it will reduce erosion loss

to five tons per year. There arc many more practices that could be employed to reduce the loss to almost nothing.

Project Has Its Problems A project such as this has its problems. In some cases, after a channel is completed, and work is stft^d on individuid fanhs, the channel might possibly fill up again by silt from the various

Then, too, if a fanner has a

field on a hill, which he uses constanUy for. t peanuts

and c<^ton because his other land is too low and wet, conservationists are faced with another problem.

They need to work with the hilly land to stop erosion that could block the channel but they cannot work with it if it is full of crops.

The farmer will not want to put his major crops in the low land until it is well drained and he is assured that it wiU not get flooded in a heavy rain.

It is for this reason that the channel is prepared first.

Growth of SCS The Soil Conservation Service began here in 1942 with one conservationist, Connor Eagles. An SCS technician was not added until 1947, when Elmer Bland Joined the service. In 1959, David Hardy was brought as a conservationik and with the beginning of the Grindle Creek Watershed project, two more conservationists, Guy Ledbetter and Carl Whitlow, were transferred in.

Roy Beck, who lieads the local SCS operation, was transferred here in 1961.

At the present time, the Pitt County Soil Conservation District, which separated from the Coastal Plain District in 1963, has jj^x consejwaUpnis^^^ and three technicians,^;me oL whom is paid for by the K^u^ty Future of SCS Pfbgrams It would be hard to predict just how long the watershed projects in Pitt County will take for completion, but they will probably be completed around 1^70.

Htt County is a leader in this conservation program and Beck says that it is better than any in the state.

Combined with the ground water survey that Pitt County Commissioners haVe approv e d and the revamping of the topographical maps of the c 0 u n t y. Pitt will find few other counties that could even compete. 4

There has been some talk of Ayden's pulling out in favor of joining Farmvlll in another league. but this has not been backed up by any action as yet. But the future of the league is in definite trouble and this coming season may be the last.

During the short history of the league, Farmville and Ayden have dominated the conterence championships. Beaufort and Robersonville each have taken the title, but most have gone to the two Pitt County schools.

The Pitt County beekettMdl con< ferenee bM been going, ever eince* the eport ^wte started In the area, but only In recent years has it taken on a formal aspect.

Walter Latham, principal of Bethel High School, has been connected with the league longer than anyone else, and recalls that the sport was being played when he came to Bethel In 1834.

At that time, the state had no part In the tournaments w In regulating the play in high schools. While each of the then 12 teams played a c out ty schedule, and declared a conference champion, the Pitt County Conference as such did not exist. R was loosely formed and games were arranged with outside people as could be set up.

Latham recalls that a number 0 the county sclu)ols played Greenville and other teams of a much higher caliber in those days, with little thou^ of the comparative size of the schools.

Championships were determined every year, and a regular post-SMSon tournament was held each of those yetfs. except for 1043-44. when the tournaments were done away ^tb because

of the war.

Following the war. the schools returned to their regular postseason tournament and conthiu-ed to play when and where they could schedule.

State Steps In

Then, around 1950. the state steroed In and issued regulations about scheduling, school classifications. and eligibility. Schools had to register with the state to be eligible for state and district tournaments, and In all but a few years, the ctmference, because of Its slae, had two entries in the district events.

In 1950, the Pitt County Conference. as such, was formally set up. At the time; there were 12 teams in it. Since then, three have abandoned high school classes. Arthur, Pactolus and Falkland. AH have been consolidated into larger schools.

During the past 10 years, there have been nine schodls in the ccmference. Bethel. Stokes-Pac-t lus, Belvoir-Palkland. Grlmes-land, Ayden, WlntervlUe, Chocod. Grlfton and Parmville.

Since the conference was set up. Bethel has domlnated^he chami^tmship arena. Winterv^

Ayden. Clilcod and Farmville have also, gained championships during the years when Bethel did not.

t> 9 To state Toumamenta

Pour times, a county team haa> advanced through the district tournaments and made it to the state tournament. Ayden has the honor of finishing highest. In its lone attempt in 1962, Ayden went into the c(Hsolation finals and finished in third place In t h state. In 1959 Ayden finished eighth.

Then in 1963. Elethel went Into the .sts^te finals, but lost out k) the opening round. Bethel returned to the finals in 1964, but was beaten in the second round and finished fou th. losing In the consolation also. ^

The conference has^t up a rule for determining~Uie two; j teams which take part in the I district tournament. The regular; iffason winner automatically Igets one of the berths. The tournament winner gets the sedond. ilf the^sanie^ team wins both, the conference ruimer-up takes thei second berth.

Despite the fact that there have bei three teams to travel to

the state finals, there have been few players "who have gone on to the college fame.

In the coming years, the conference could fold up. seemingly. This fan, Farmville will move from Class A to 2-A, entering another league. There have been rumors that Qrlmesland's high school would be merged with oth

er schools, ending their participation, should this come about.

That would leave seven schools in the conference.

There have been some consolidation studies in the county, but notiilng definite is plinned as yet. What the future holds is dependent upon that. Should'^the schools consolidate, however, there w^

'Coimtry Supply Store'

Is Far From Disappearing

, TOURNAMENT ACTION In this shot from last years Pitt County Tournament finals, Tex Everett of Bethel pulls down a rebound against Farmville. The two teams finitifd one-two in the standings, with Bethel taking the conference and tournament championships, and going on to finish fourth in the state, It was the second time in a row the Indians made the trip to the state finals.

FOUNTAIN Our business has been most fortunate to have been able, to maintain Its volume throuTh the years as country supply store businesses such as ours are rapidly disappearing, reports C. M^iPmlth, comanager of Smith and Yelverton in Fountain.

Personal contact, fair dealing, and gratefulness of customers have been responsible for our success in the face of competition by larger commercial companies.

'We hoi that we can continue to progress, says Smith, and continue to Ht our patrons be aware of our appreSatlon. Smith and Yelverton was originally founded by M. D. Yclvr-ton, C. M. Smith, and Dr. C.S.

Eagles. In 1922 Dr. Eagles sold to L. P. Yelverton and in 1944 j M. D. Yelverton sold his Interest to C. M. Smith and L. P. Ycl-verton.

Since its establishment in 1914, Smith and Yelverton has grown to serve a business area from Parmville to Pinetops and from i Falkland to Saratoga.

C. M. Smith was bom In

This month, a new conference champion and tournament champion will be named. Both will enter the distriet fUada next month. Olid from there, one of the teams could go on to the atate. and poaaibly bring Pitt Ita first atate chaihi^oship.

on Of Big Ficklei IMim Is Next Step Of A Growing Athletics Program

Wltbln the next few years, snore concrete and steel will rise on the site of Flcklen Stadium. and East Carolina will have one of the best football stadiums ,ln the area.

But it all came about by a slQ movement, which actually beain In 1932 when a group of boys came to a OreenvUle man and asked to start a football team at the college.

Ttem tbit point, East Carolina lodtball has progressed to becoming one of the top teams In the small college division of the NCAA, and next year will be threatening to become one of the top teams in the Southem Conference.

The Southern Conference is (me of the main reasons for the existence of Picklen Stadium. Without the stadium, there would probably be no Southern Conference for East Carolina, and without the desire to become a member of the Southem. there would be no Flcklen Stadium.

In 1932. the college began its fotbll career on a field directly behind the gymnasium. There it played until 1940, when Guy Smith Stadium was c o m-pleted on the other side of town.

The attraction of a new stadium carried the ct^ege there, and there they stayed for the next 10 yeans.

But by 1949, the college began to see that Quy Smith didnt have the proper conditions for good football. The permanentetands a^ the stadium Just didn't work too well for football. Temporary stands had to be erected on the baseball playing field to work, and since a prof^onal baseball team was also playing there, it created some problems when the two overlapped.

The lighting was also not the best in the world for football. Poor drainage hurt the condition of the field.

Back to Campus

So in ISSn, the college moved back onto the campus to play. Just to the east of the older field, where practice is now held, although part of it has been taken over by a parking lot.

A drive was held to raise money to fix up the new field, and

there were other problems which caused the movement. Student transportation was a problem In those days, and the ccd-lege wanted the students to attend the game.

The new field, seating some S.. 000 people was opened in 1950. But even at Umes, it was too smal for the crowd. At homecoming, the country was scouted for additional seating to hold the retumlAff alumnL

Then about five years ago, the college started to think about a new site. Several sites w e r e checked, and the field was almost relocated across the street from the gym. in the hollow between 10th Street and tlje new mens dormitories. This was finally abandoned because of the lack of parking facilities.

Then., in January. 1%1, Dr. Leo Jenkins was elected as president of the college. Dr. Jenkins put forth the Idea of abandoning the Carolinas Conference (the North State) in favor of the Southern.

But before admission to t h e Southem could be a reality, the football program had to ''be brought up to the conference standards. Coach Clarence Stas-avich was brought to the college with this In mind, and in October, 1961. the drive for the new stadium got underway.

Drive Begins

The official drive began on October 7, 1961, at the dinner of the Society of Buccaseers. A total of $280.000 was raised for he first phase of the project, the stands on the south side of the field.

On May 3. 1962. ground was broken on the present site for constmction. Mrs. James S. Ficklen, widow of the man for whom the stadium was named, did the honors, using a shovel used in 1908 when ground was broken for the first budlng on the campus.

By the fall of 1963, the stadium was completed, and the Bucs moved Into it, starting on their way to a 9-1 season, be-

Plans now call for construction of the north side of the field, using the same plans as used 'or the other side, and seating 8.300, also the same as the other side.

The older wooden stands will then be moved to the end one.

Money for the project is hoped to be made available when the gymnasium bids are taken again. Dr. Jenkins hopes to have enough left over from the gym for the stadium construction.

Then, the final phase will be

put into operation, the filling In of the end zone for a complete horseshow. The final stadium wl seat 35,000. -

It is hoped'that the north side will be under construction In about two years, and that the finished stadium will be ready in about five or six years.

The Southern Conference membership, which prompted the new stadium, has been achieved. The next step will be final construction and the Introduction of major college foes to the stadium.

New Yorks Madison Avenue has long-been famous for its high-powered ideaman whose brainstormiLg sessions haye wrought massive influences on the commercial worla.

Greenvilles East Carolina College has an ideaman whose growing record of accomplishment might well rival what the major leagues of advertising could display.

New Jersey-born Leo W. Jen- j kins is gaining an ever-widening reputation for a series of i creative ideas that have caughH hold, not only at East Carolina i College, but also throughout the Eastern region and the State as a whole. ^

- His rce ks a super-salesman { lor the East may hint to the I unknowing that he is in the wrong busl^'css. But his ability as an educator and as an educational administrator are attested to by his current chair- , manship of tht North Carolina Council of Presidents of State-Supported Colleges and Universities. '

It is as^an ideaman. though, ! that Dr. Jenkins has attracted much recent attention from the lay-public. One observer has cited a reason for that: unlike some who spawn worthy ideas. Dr. Jenkins refuses to let his notions die for waint of action.

He vigorously tickles the task of implementing %ea.s many think impractical if) not impossible.

A recent Jenkins success story Is that of the yearling East Car- | olina College Summer Theater which played last summer to overflow audiences totaling about 25,000. Little more than a year ago the theater was a Jenkins idea. Today it is roundhig out plans for an even more ambitious 1965 seas.

There have been other Jenkins ideas. James S. Ficklen Stadlurn was one of the presi-" dents" projects WTilCTT'sprsTig' W" Rlmo,st overnight. Jenkins has an idea now that the stadium should be expanded. Even the greatest skeptics arent denying that the exparision is t nearfuture possibility.

Establishment of a regional Planning center at ECC was another Jenkins notion. The State Board of Higher Educstlo.. adopted the idea and the center came Into being. His next idea (or that facility Is a modem physical plant to use as a base of operations.

But theres n o'-crgll idea that kccbs l obbing to the forefront In Dr. Jenkins discussions. He continually urges th$ establishment of a focal point 1 Eastern North Carolina that can become a platform for a strong spol sman to lead the region to a new era of progress. He has suggested thiU East Carolina College, strategically located at Greenville could become Chat focal point.

A late devcloprr.ent In the fvertll picture for the East has been Jenkin le( ef orts to amplify , an Idcs brought in by phy

sicians of region. That idea has resulted ' a firm proposal to establish it '2CC a two-year medical school to help fill demands for new doctors 'and to pave the way for a first - rat^ medical center for Eastern North Carolina.

To give ''osltve steps to pro- j gress proper direction, however, j Dr. Jenkins has cited the -im-, portance rf understanding the! situation in which the East finds ' itself. He has defined that sltua- j tion:

"It is obvious that the decline i of.Xhe Fast from the pospon, of unquestioned leader of t h e State has come within the past 100 years. This decline has been gradual, and it has actually been only within the past 25 years that the gap between Eastern North Carolina and the rest of the Statue has been ominously wide and embarrasingly obvious.

The truth is that Eastern North Carolina* has furnished and

continues to furnish leadership to the State and nation, but at the same time. Eastern North Carolina has sagged in miserable fashion. It holds a minority position in North Carolinas new j prosperity. The region has clung too long to agriculture. . .If the area "is to move forward it must i diversify. ^ |

(But) perhaps^ our problem goes deeper than pr.e econom- ! Ics. It may well be a more dis-1 tressing one the absence of Uvability. . .We are discovering rather late in our history that man does not live by bread alone. Eastern North Carolina must become not only a land of economic opportunity, but one in which cultural opportunities abound. In fact, this 20th century America is such that the two are mutually dependent.

The ideas, the specific proj-; ects. Dr. Jenkins continually enumerates are aimed at solving portions of the overall problem he defines. He professes his in

tention to continue an assault on the problem. Further, he pledges the support of the college and invites suggestions from the people of the region.

Dr. Jenkins has headed the college since his appointment as president in January of 1960. Prior to that appointment, he had been dean of the college since 1947 when he came to ECC from a post as assistant to the cornmlsslonfer for higher education in his native New Jersey.

A major in the Marine Corps Muring World War n. he served at Guadalcanal, Guam and Iwo Jima In the Paclfkr Theater and was awarded the Bronze Star and ! two Presidential citations for his record.

An outstanding Methodist layman, Dr. Jenkins is married to , the former Lillian Jacobsen, also a New Jersey native, and ! they have three sons James, Jeffrey and Jack and three daughters Susanne, Patricia I and Sallie. '

ECC Infirmary Is Health Car Center

The Ea.st Carolina College Infirmary is a health care center providing medical services at all limes and is staffed by nursing personnel under direction of the coUege physician.

Regular clinics are held three times daily, Monday,through Friday. twice on Saturday, and once Saturday, and once on Sunday, under the .supervision of thfe physician. StudenU are admitted to the clinics and the infirmary ward.s at the discretion of the resident physician or one of hl.s associates.

The infirmary is equipped with modern facilities and has a capacity of 66 beds. Average stay of a* student requiring bed.side attention from a physician and

nurse is four day*.

Dr. C. Pred Irons is resident physician and has as his associates Drs. Charles P. Adams, Dr. D. L. Moore, and Walter H. Pott,

Miss Pauline L. Cox is now superintendent of the infirmary, suceedlng in this positlm on January 1, 196.5, Miss Lucky Stokes who was resident nurse-Buperintendent for almost 23 years until her recent retirement.

Members/ of the full - time nursing staff with Mls.s Cox arc Mrs. Doris Coats. Miss Elffle Leigh Elmore, Mrs, Vienna Johnston, Mr.s. Verta Manning, Mrs, Garnet Roberts, Miss Thelma Sawyef, and Miss Anne Ray Waters.

The workroons, cwital n 1 n g blackboards, charts and storage areas, are used for reading and individual Instruction, All teachers have access to ttiem.

Piner heads a staff of 18 supervising teachers who manage the early school years for about 57.5 pupils.

In addition to the supervising teachers at Wahl-Coates. there are visiting specialists for music. art and band instruction. Industrial arts students from the college operate tlie shop.

In the shop, students Icam to use tools, to respect manual labor and to enjoy classroom work more. Teachers use the shop facilities to supplement classroom study. For example, students can make telegraph sets, wheels, simple machines, plaster pyra

mids or relief maps to illustrate Bome phase of the work they are studying.

According to Piher, the Wahl-Coates library contains over 11.-000 volumes and far surpasses minimum state standards for elementary libraries. Two years ago, it was moved from its cramp<;d quarters into the renovated g.vmnaslum.

Serving 450 hot lunches each day, the school lunchroom is a self-sufficient, non-profit operation. In addition, about 100 students bring bag lunches.

Piner keeps forc;most the basic philosophy that the first function of an elementary school is to teach." His does dual duty by giving Wahl-Coates pupils a sound start in their education and by showing future teachers

how to do that, ^

Durtng tne 196.5-'64 school year his office recorded more than 2,500 obs^ations in Wahl-Coates claftsroorns\^tords for the last quarter of 1^ alone show over ijWK) more. Most of the visitors are college students but occasional delegations from other school systems come over for a look,

Wahl-CoatCH is a jointly-operated school with East Carolina College and the Greenville City ^hools sharing in financing and responsibility.

The school supplements the regular nine-month term by offering a summer session of about five weeks. Usually about 60 pupils attend the summer sessions In W'hlch reading, arithmetic and i.oelal studies are emphasized.

Traffic Congestion Part Of East Carolina Picture

Traffic cx)nRe.stion creates as great a problem oit the Ea.st Car-' olina College Campu.s as doe.s the ' niovement of vehicular traffic in any growing community, says Dan K. Wooten, traffic and housing officer at ECC.

All student.s eligible to drive . cars and all faculty and staff mrnjbers who own or drive a motor vehicle on the campus .are .subject to certain traffic rules and regulations, and these regulations are enforced by the campus policemen.

It is a requirement that motor vehicles operated by eligible students and faculty and staff members must be registered with the traffic officer. Last month 3,900 registration .stickers had bsen issued by Wootens office for the 1964-65 college

Is to keep traffic moving as smoothly as possible for there are only 1.1J8 pMking spacea available on campus.

J. N. Cspi^ell, superintendent of buildings snd grounds since 1949, directs the major cH?era-tion of maintenance on the expanding campus.

His supervisory activities have to do -ith the physical property, the maintenance snd repair of { V ndlngs, renovation, snd painting.

On his staff are J.C. Roger-on, storage of stock and supplies: W. R Whlchard. foreman, and WiUiam H.

C^irpentry. cabinet building, minor remodeling Jobs are the responsibility of this department, utilizing seven carpenters and two painters full tinae.

Grounds keeping is directed bj John G. Duncan, assistant superintendent of buildings and grounds. He came to East Carolina CbUege in 1936.

A labor orce of 23 men takes the outside jobs on grounds keeping, five men are assigned to garbage collection on the campus. Three men whose duties include lawn mowing, keeping turf manicured on the intramural ath. letic fields and the stadium with operation of two tractor mowers, have full time" duties because grass grows and shrubbery puts out new shoots.

These crews are set to handle the setting up of seating equipment for all college activities. Including assemblies, concerts, and commencement exercises:

Ranting and pruning of ahrub-bery, sweeping streets, and assisting workmen in all shops which are a part at maintenance.

Campus Eeeoarch

On campus tbs machine is bi-Ing used for a numbiTi rffO"Hoc-toral disaertations that can draw on the computerf data processing capabilities.

This includes the research of Alton Finch in the School of Business. William R. Hoots in the industrial arts department and Ralph H. Steele to the physical education department.

There are also acme graduate

He said that many students tike the Math 151 oouree in computer progreminlng end then work as reaearoh essiatente to the feeulty end to the edminls-tretioe.

Using the maohlnc'i FOR> TRAN (formula translation) Ian-gUige, the computer aided the eoUege'a admissions office to use a predloted grade avereie formula. Dr. J(mn H.

The machine can eaU on any at them in 20 miUioaths of a second.

Johnson teaches the course that introduces students to Um use of this new tool and stresees tbe importance of learning the machines capaMllties in terms of eppUceble problems. He notes that such a tool is limited only by tbe imagination at a programmer.

Stupid Machine

Johnson told one cleas that

thla machine Is really very stupid. Why, it nent even addJ

Znetead, when the Instrument is told to add some flguret. It looka up the answer on a table within Its memory.

Szplaining the operation. Johnson cited the need of an intelligent programmer who can convert Informeilon into a language the machine understands ^ numbers. The programmer may write EngUsh expressions, but the computer substitutes numbers for them.

A programmer codes information. such as answers from a questionnaire used by Dr. Melvin Williams in the sociology department, and charts them onto a diagram which must include all possible eondttions, elements of decisions and ell possible answers.

To teach how to make such a diagram, Johnson displays an

easy-to-remember sample showing how a perwn'a mind might operate. In logical etepe. to get up tn the morning.

This diagram maps the routes of an electrical current through a maee t condlUona which determine choices you might make. After waking up (power on) the Impulse meets f groan relay so you groan.

The next possibility ia that It might be Mondayi^_

Yes? Repeat the groan route twice.

No? Oo to the yawn and stretch relay.

Onl this sort of map diagramming the elements of a problem is drawn up and directions are spelled out, the Information Is punched onto cards in a code tbe machine understands.

When the machine reads these

oarde. U checks for errors and telli tbe operator where to make oorrecUons oalhMl de-buggbig.

Ualng the oorreoted program the machine executes directions in lightning fast steps as currents swirl through complex circuits until answers are reached wnd typed through the output. Here all the time required for programming ii more than made up.

Johnson said the computer Is used from 12 to 14 hours a day and noted that there have been period when it was used from 18 to 20 hours daily

In tbe future the mathematics department will be using this computer In connection with the research by the Regional Development Institute. The Instrument win be used to compile data useful to prospective Industrial firms In helping them to find suitable loeatlms in Eastern North Carollna.'^^ _

Bryan Grimes Best

* By JOHN O. DUNCAN

Of all the men who went off to war from Pttt County during that period of 1881-1885 history remembers best Bryan Orlmea.

He was bom at the Qrlmes

planUtlon on November 2. 1828.

He was graduated from the Dnlvcrsity of North Carolina in

June. 1848.

Of the 1062 University men who vent Into the Confederate Army only oneLt, General lo-, nidas Polk, reachec. a higher rank than the native of Pitt County I Offered a choice of three com- misplons b Governor Ellis, Bryan gave up the two higher ones of Colonel and took the one of Major of the Fourth Regiment.

This was because Grimes felt that he had deficiency of knowledge In military tactics.

In joining the Fourth he would come tinder Colonel George B.

; Anderson, a West Pointer. Under the able Commander, Grimes hoped to learn the military lessons that would better fit him for the job.

The Fourth

Upon receiving his commission

Orimes resigned his seat in the Secession Convention and came home to Pitt County.

After getting his affairs In shape he went to Oarysburg where the Fourth Regiment was being or-ganled.

Here Orimes drilled with his outt unUl July 20. 1861. On that date the Fourth was sent to Richmond.

Two days later the Regiment was sent to Mausassas, but arrived too late to sec action in that battle.

Taken sick.because of change of habits Orimes was sent to the Bull Mountains' to recuperate.

Upon his return to duty the hard bloody uphill way to the rank of General and to fame was started.

Fields of War

The battle flags of the Fourth flew <m many bloody "field. And the Regiment became known as the Bloody Fourth.

On May l, 1862 the Fourth went into the battle of Seven Pines with 25 officers and 520 men.

All of the officers were killed or woundtJ with the exceptlwi

Orimes. Grimes horse had its head shot off and the officer was pinned under the dead hoi*se.

Losses among the troopers of the Fourth were 462 killed and wounded.

Near Cold Hai'bor the Bloody Fourth composed of one officer Br;-an Orimes and sixty men fought another hard fight.

Here Grimes had another horse shot out from under him.

The Regiment, and its ranks filled time and again by raw recruits .ought on and on, its torn battle flai waving over many fields.

The men of the Fourth were of Predrlcksburg, the Wilderness, Gettysburg and other notable

battles. -

Appomattox

The end was nearing fast for the ragged Confederates. The long march during the year of blood, death, disease and hunger was about to end. A small place in Virginia had been picked by fate for the ending of the struggle.

At the place called Appomattox Lees army would soon disolve into groups of tired hungry men

taking fie roads that led back to their homes. Major-General Bryan Orimes was the highest ranking officer for the state of North Carolina at the surrender.

He was also the only Major-General left among North Carolina Troops anywhere.

It was at Appomattox that the defiant N troops under Grimes fired the last shots at the Yankees.

Ijist Days

Here i' the Gcnera)'s words as what happened on that last day.

We then went beyond t h e creek at Appomatt(c Court House, stacked arms amid the bitter tears of bnwized veterans, regretting Uw necessity of capitulation.

When riding up to my old rejil-men to snake by hand each com- ! rade who had followed me through four years of suffering, toil, privation often worse than death, to bid them a final, affecticmate, and In many instances, an eternal farewell, a cadaverous, ragged. bare 3ted nn,.griwpe<|_me by the hand andch^ng with sobs said Good-bye General: God bless you; we will go home,

Laundry Is No Small Has 39 Workers

m mi

make three more crops and then try them again.

On Wedne.sday. April 12. 1865. we stacked our arms in an old flel^ and each man sought bis home as best he mlght.*|

Home Affttai

Grimes returned to his plantation on the Tar River In Pitt County and took up his life as a planter.

Here riding his favorite war horse W: ren over his many acres the General no d o_p b t thought (rf the times when he had ridden his mount on fields of war. ^

He is said to have lold a friend that even If he needed money badly we wouldnt sell Warren for thousands of dollars in gold.

The war had been over fifteen su .mers and the sixteenth was on Its way out.

During the war many bullets and shells had come close to him, but n0e of them found their mark.Takes Pride In

Quality Homes

I feel personally involved,In the physical growth of Pitt County by virtue of having spent my entire life working In this area, remarks Earl Hardee, president of Earl Hardee Company of Greenville.

The demand for customer quality homes has enabled us to build a quality construction I team. We believe in keep 1 n g step with the economy and progress of the area.

The Earl Hardee Company, a building contracting firm, was ^eofporated to by E * f 1 Hardee and Gay Gnagy.

Specializing in residential and commercial construction, the firm now serves a 50-mile radius of Greenville.

With a main office at 1900 Chestnut Street, the corporation has grown to employ about 25 people.

Earl Hardee has been doing business in his name since 1950 and added Gay Gnagey to the firm when the company was Incorporated in 1963.

Hardee is a native of Greenville. He worked as a brickmas-on and carpenter locally prior to starting his own firm.

He Is married to the former Mary Lou Williams of Greenville, and Is the father of one child.

But on '. August day just as twilight fell on *ug. :.4, 18W an assassin struck. Returning home from Wasliington with a neighbors -young boy. OrlnnieR was shot and killed from ambush as he .stopped to water his horse in Bear Creek.

After the burial of the General a quietness fell about the houses among the oaks. In the rich gi-een grass of the pasture the old warhorse cropped the tender stalks I and then he raised his head as if expecting a' call. At times he would shake his head and distend his nostrils as if remembering cannon shots and other sounds of war.

One day In 1883 V/ar ren died. He was twenty-eight years old. They buried him on the lands that he had known so long. Not so far from the maste. he had ..loved and served so well.

Today

Sitting baok from road No. 1569 about three tenths of a mile the old house still stand.

R ia one of the few ones left of those that knew the Ante Bel-lum days. Long has it stood on the land that William Grimes bought in the year 1786.

And as ycu walk around the white houso with its green roof and red chimneys, you feel the history of the place coming to you as lltUe whispers back through time.

One time the Indians bad a fort back over yonder in those fields. Crops still grow on what was once an Indian farm. Over there somehwere once lived Susie White sister of the muted pirate Blackbeard.

Here were the fields plowed, sowed and harvested by the slaves that once lived here. Here

are remnants of the quadra I which they lived. And than you think of a man going off to war.

And the endless wall for Mwa from him to the wife and children he left behind.

And of the coming home a^r the war ended and the pltiwr returning to his field.

And of 'he years that stretched from wars and to thiA d^ day when., he was kJUcd not far from his doorstep.

And you also try to capture the sight of an old war,horse living out his yean among tl grasses of the pasture beyond the fence. ,

Some men become great eoL dlers from study and experience. And some became great because It was bom in them.

TTie man who once Uved to this house General Bryan Grimes, was we of the Itttwr.

AT COLLEGE LAUNDRY .

No small industry within the complex of operations on the East CaioUna College oampus is the laundry with its more than 4,700 current Individual accounts and providing a cwnplete service from aprons to spreads.

W. E. Boswell, laundry superintendent. came to Greenville to begin his position in 1928 and with the exception of one year, during World War H. has supervised the operations of this plant since.

He h:;s seen three building expansions In this 36-year span and notes that 39 employees handle a heavy weekly load during the college year.

At first, much of the laund Was ftnlshed with hand Ironln but now with modem *^steam

South Anna Bridge

On June 26, 1863, the 44th N.C. Regiment suffered heavy losses at South Anna Bridge In Virginia. Pitt County had men In Co.s C, D and I.

I^e8sers, very little hand work is done. Eight washing machines take over, doing an average o 1,000 pounds of laundry per hour. One mammofli irooer is used for the flatwork and 30 pressers care for the special items.

In addition to the work for students and faculty members, the laundry takes care of the huge load 0 Unen from the cafeteria units, the Inflrmary and the athletic department.

Boswell notes that even with a heavier load of work, the efficiency, loyalty and experience of the 39 employees pro v i d e better and faster service to customers.

Comparison of a laundry list of 1948 and 1965 showed fewer items listed on the 1965 list, due perhaps, to the "drip-dry-do-lt-yoursclf fabrics. Two prl c e s were compared for contrast: ^fen's shirts In 1948. 8 cents each; 1965, 20 cents each; sheets in 1948, 3 >^ent5 each; 1965, 12 cents each

?reacher Found County 1 Was Given Its lJdme Due

Heady Hearers In 1754 Visit

By JOHN G, DUNCAN

m. 1754, the first Presbyterian mlaaionary to the colony came through Pitt County.

McAden came Into Pitt from what was then Dobbs County.

Ministers of the Gospel were ^ery few and far between in those days, and the news of one coming usually caused quite a ttir.

On Priday, AprU 2, 1754, he t ame to what is now Orlfton. He spent the night there and the r ext day rode on to Salter^ Perry on the Tar.

He must have crossed over the river for we find him spending that night and the next day --Sunday 4th, with Thomas Little.

Little hadnt heard a Presby-t?rian minister since he had come to Carolina some 28 years back-1726.

Little had the minister stay over until Wednesday, He sent F round the countryside and gathered his'neighbors so they could hear McAden tdeliver a ser-non.

McAden speaks of this sermon saying, T found some few tmongst them that I trust are (rods dear children, who seem-(d much refreshed by my com-lig.

After the sermon, McAden went cn to a Mr. Barrows house.

On Thursday. April 8. the preacher left Bartows and went . up the river shore to Red Banks.

At Red Banks, he preached to s large crowd of people. However, there were but few Pres-1 yterians among the group.

That evening, McAden went on 1 p the river ten miles to a Mr. I laces place. Mace was a Pres-tyterlan and a man of considerable means and well known.

The preacher stayed at Maces until the nth and held services tiat day at the house

Continuing on up the Tar, the Presbyterian rode 20 miles and Tame to the house of a man by 4he name of Toole.

McAden found Toole to be a *ruan unhappy in his notions of unbelief.

The next day, the minister continued on his way leaving the lands along the Tar behind.

That he was well-received by those he spwke to is evident, and "uaaybe his trip through Pitt left many persons happier from hearing once more the words of the .Bible.

To John

By JOHN G. DUNCAN

It was due to the admiration for an English statesman by a local man that gave Pitt County Its name. The statesman was Wimam Pitt, the Earl of Chatham and the man of the Carolina wilderness was John Simpson of Tar River in Beaufort County.

William Pitt was bom at Westminister in 1708. His father was a member of Parliament and young Pitt no doubt came by his statesmanship rightly.

The young Englishman was educated at Eton College, Trinity

Service Center Sees Potential

Friendliness of the people has been the most important contribution to my economy, says J.E. Ricks, owner of Ricks Service Center of Greenville.

. Industry has brought many new residents to our town and surprisingly this atmosphere remains. The most important of these industries is East Carolina College, and I think we should refer to It as an industry.

We have all hopes of the continuation of this friendship of Greenville people despite the potential growth that is Certain to come.

Ricks Service Center, located on the corner of Ninth and Ev- ans Streets In Greenvllle, was I founded In 1945 by J.E. Rick. It has been serving the people of Greenville with automobile service and general repair since ! that time.

I Before establishing his own ' business, Rick worked with White Chevrolet of Oreenvllle ; from 1935 to 194.5.

Ricks Service Center employs five people.

J.E. Ricks was born in South-! hampton, Virginia and attended schools In that area. He is mar-I rled to Etl^c^ Lanier Rick.

I Ricks is a member of the I Greenville Masons, Shriners, Moose, and a former member of the Lions and Elks Clubs.

Money for Gymn

Pitt Militia

Pitt County, November 18. 1773.

The field return for the conn-fy showed that there were 566 in seven companies. About 30 men were reported absent by three companle.s.

Commi.s.slonrd officers were John Ty.HOn, Colonel: Amos At-I inson.^Lleulenanf- Colonel, and roil 'Iy.soii, Major.

Paris captured tiKi.iKK) pigeons bv nei in 1904 and carried them into the eouTtry to keep them in nn'lvitv for a time Hopefnilv they will forget alnnil Paris and ^lot try to return.

In 1916, best methods for obtaining money to build a gymnasium at the training .school were discussed at a meeting of the alumni.

Two hundred, forty dollara and fifty eight cents had been made toward the find by the receipts from the play The Mikado.

Two were acted upon:

1. During commruccmcnt week aif outdoor performance to -bi given eltlier by Coburn or Lee Short pla.vers. Tlir Association to have a certain piucent of all rec(>lpts.

College and Oxford.

He WM ft sickly boy and this fact kept him from graduating from the University.

However, It did not keep him out of the British Army. He entered In 1731 ftnd stftyeil In service for four years.'Upon being elected to PftrUftnnent, he left the Army.

Pitt Wfts ft brllliftnt debator, and became a sharp critic of I Robert Walpoles government, j In 1746, Pitt became vlce-trea- [ surer of Ireland. This was his | first government office. ' |

Some nine years later, Pitt; was dlsmlMed from the office he held at that time Paymaster General -- because of his criticism of the governments war

policy.

However, in 1756, he was leader of the House of Commons. Pitt, aroused the Kings anger, but he was returned to office by popular demand of the people.

Pitt waijben the most powerful man in England and bent his every effort to make his native land a great power.

When George the Third became King of England in 1760, he found that Pitt had no love for him, and the English King had less for the Empire Builder. In 1761, Pitt resigned from office, but he kept up his attack, on the Kings policies. His main target was the Kltig^s taxation policy In the overseas colonies of North Amertoa.

This made Pitt very popular in America. It was Pitts Interest In the conditions existing in America and his attempt to right them that prompted John Simpson to put forth the name of the statesman to be that of the newly formed county. Prior to this, the planter on the Tar had named his estate Chatham. So his admiration for William PHt, the Earl of Chatham, had existed for quite some time.

When the war with England started, and soon after it ended, many places named for prwnl-nent Englishmen were changed. But not those named for William Pitt; two examplesr Pittsburg,-Pa., and Pitt County, NcwTh Carolina.

EXPERIMENT READY James Midyette, (left) of Plymouth, Donald Harrington of Stokes and Bresco Knox of Robersonville, watch electronics instructor Charles Cambright explain oscilloscope wave patterns during a class in the Pitt Technical Institute.

Rapid expanslou that resulted from a Bood recepdon In Eastern North Carolina has marked the development of the^Pitt Technical InsUiute here, reported director o studenj personn^ George S. McRorie.

McRorie noted that the Institute's curriculum was designed to meet specific needs of ^ both individual students and also the needs of area business firms.

He said. We have an open door policy and must admit every student who applies. He went on to explain. "Once the student is in school we try to guide hiim kito an occupational area to which he is best suited-This guidance is ac h i e v e d through a combined testing and counselling program at the school.

McRorie emphasized that the school tries to take students at their individual level of achievement and help them progress at individual leaming speeds.

To do this the institute offers adult education courses in remedial English, reading and mathematics. These classes are provided in addition to the courses m technical and trade areas.

In the local facility south of Greenville on highway 11, one year programs are available in four trade areas. These trade areas Include auto mechanics, architectural drafting, machinist training and radio and television servicing. , . .. ..

In addition, two year programs are offered in executive secretarial training, electronics and agricultural business.

Meet Specific Needs To meet specific needs of various industrial and commercial firms in the Pitt County area, the institution also administers another series uf one year trade programs at its Fountain"' unit. Included in these programs are clasMs in masonry, painUftg and paperhanging. electrical installa-tion and maintenance, plumbing, sheet metal mechanics and carpentry. __'

Area firms w'hicF are supplied with personnel from these classes include the Collins. and Aikman plant In Parmville. the Grlfton Clothing Company. Preps h i r t Manufacturing Corporation. Carolina Sleepw'ear, Empire Brushes and the A. B. Whitley painting and paperhanging company.

At a unit in Roanoke Rapids there is a one-year practical nurse program sponsored by the institute. Another practical nurse course is offered through the Beaufort unit. The Beaufort unit also offers an auto mechanics course and another auto mechanics is available in the WUliam-ston unit, hi Flexible Curriculum Indicative of the curriculum flexibility that enables the Institute to meet specific area needs are courses In textile training that have supplied the Prepshirt Company with personnel.

but progress would be a practical impossibility if it couldn't For protection against the unexpected whatever it may be is often e bulwark against bankruptcy or financial loss that can never be regained.

Greenville is building . . . everyone will agree to that. We can tell that our city and county are growing because more and more people come to us every day for insurance protection for some-* thing they've built or bought.

tutc had taken over the personnel training program for t h e c olhlng manufacturer and receiv-ed paynipnt from the firm for the service.

Thomas Andersen, of the North State Garment Company in Farmvllle. commented that his firm needed personnel trained to work in sujjervtsoiy capacity. To me^ this area need the InsU-tute^ias Included Supervisory Development tialnlng in its curriculum.

Other Industrial and commercial businessmen in the area also draw from personnel trailed in the school. N. 0. Van Northwick, Jr., of the North Side Lumber Company said that This institute will be training artisans in our particular trade that we have needed for a long time.

Courses in oil burner servicing and horse-shoeing were made paH of the schools overall curriculum when a demand for them arose.

McRorie claimed that the institute has met definite employment needs in the Pitt County area., He pointed out that very ofteri^hen, courses were selected for Gurriculum In subject areas where needs were greatest, people in the courses were employed even before they finished their classf^

To meet vgrowlng needs the Institute now operates an expand. Ing evening ciass program in

the Greenville plant.

Evening classes include not only the trade courses, but also courses in shorthand, bookkeeping and typing that are designed to help fill the demand for personnel qualified in these occupational areas

The prcscni Orctnville lacility features 37.420 square feet of fl(K>r space in five classrooms, five laboratory and work shop areas, a library, bookstore, and a student lounge. In addit ion. there is space for administrative offices and stoVage.

House State Personnel

McRorie noted that more offices are being partitioned to accommodate an expanding staff of state administrators stationed in the local plant. They are stationed In the Greenville area because It Is centrally located irr ternos of serving other institutions In

feaatern Nortb Carolina, he ex plained.

The local Institute now sponsors extension programs l.i Beaufort, Bertie, Halifax,.-Hertford, Martin and Northampton Counties.

Queried aooui tuture growth at the institute. McRorie outlined two possible lines of development;

-1!'Continued expansion of the vocational and trade aspect, and

Possible elevatiiti to a community college with the addition of a two-year junior college program.

Former president of the InsU-ture Lloyd F. Spaulding held that the school wduld eventually become a community college but that it should be expected to do the job It was meant to do first.

W, Et^ Pulford. Jr.. who succeeded Spaulding last October.

observed that 63 per ccat of Pitt ^ County's population earns under $3,000 annually. This rcprescuu a tremendous chaUenge to us to do something. . . .to break the cycle of poverty."

Pulford took the reigns of the institute as it began Its full operation in the new physical plant last year.

Prior to the time when tlic institute had itk own facllltj;. classes were scattered through various other buildings Jn the area. McRorie noted. Admmls-Uatlve offices had been housed in the '^cker Building In downtown Greenville.

Last April the Pitt County Board of Education awarded contracts totaling more than $349.598 for the building. Architects fees and landscaping costs brought construction costs above $371.825 for the new facility.

Early Picture Of Auto huyer

In 1922 the CSaycland Trust Company investigated and gave the description of the average purchaser of the auto; i He is a married man, 33 years old. He has a bank account and carries life insurance. He buya "a $1.400 car and pay <700 down,*He pays the blance at the rate of $100 monthly. His monthly income is $350, He owns real et^te^ in which his equity is $5,(|)d,VHe has personal property worth about $2,000. This is not his first car.'

Accox-ding to this picture average prosperity amcnig Americans is higher than most of us imagine, since an auto is owned by roughly, 1 In each 10 Americans, or almost every other family."

Falkland

Located ten miles northwest of Greenville the town called Falkland was incorporated about 1887. It Is said to have been called Falkland after a place in Scotland by the same name. Falkland, Scotland was for many years the home of Scottish kings

Another version is that it wras called Falkland after George Palkner, who ran an ordinary Inn) there shortly after the Revolution, Reference to a Falkner House was found In an old diary. The last date It was referred to as Palkner House was 1837.

It was a reminder of the war he would carry with him the lest of his years a useless

Alter the war. Jarvis moved across the Albemarle sound to Tyrrell County.

Thomas Jarvis was thirty-one years old when the people of Tyrrell County elected him to the State Legislature in 1868.

Men like Jarvis stood out like diamonds among the riff raff that made up the main body of the Ugislature of that period.

It was the day of corruption and carpetbaggers and pther scum of their kind packed like vuturea inta anythli^ that gave them hopes of wealto and power.' -

In 1870 the Conservatives canled the Legislature by a big majbrity and Jarvla was elected speaker of the House <rf Representatives.

1878

in 1872 Jarvis moved to Pitt County and opened his law office in Greenville. It was from the town on the Tar that he would move on to greater things.

Here he would make for himself a name and a memory that would keep down the years.

He worked tirelessly at home and In the halls of the Legislature for the good of the people of the state both black an d^ white.

In 1876 he was elected Lieutenant-Governor; served a little

He became Governor on Feb. 5, 1879 when Gov. Zeb Vance left the office to serve in the United States Senate.

Governor Jarvis was elected to the office In his own right and he took over the duties as Governor on Jan. 18. 1881.

He was the twenty seventh Governor elected to the (rfflce by the people since that practice began in 1836.

Prior to this the Governor had been elected by the members of the Legislature.

Jarvis six years as Governor were said to have been of the most brtlUsnt In the annals

Outstanding were his achievements in promoting "public education, advancing the c o n-structlon of the Western North Carolina Railroad, building the Western Asylum for the Insane, at Morganton, and the Eastern Asylum for the colored race at Goldsboro.

He also had the Goyernors Mansion built at Raleigh and was instrumental In havlng-land purchased for the site of "the present Supreme Court building and the Department of Agriculture.

Mlnbter to Brazil Later (m Jarvis was appointed Minister to Brazil by President Cleveland and held that appointment until Harrison waa elected President.

Greenville Days _

After the termination of h i s term as Minister to Brazil, Jarvis came back to Greenville.

Hif iw "Si took mr prao*

tice again and became active in local affairs. However, he did not drop his role In the states field of politics.

He was President of the State Democratic Ccmvention which nominated Ellas (^r of Edgecombe for Governor.

His active part in the campaign helped Carr to take over as Governor in January 18. 1898.

When Senatw Zeb Vanes died in 1894. Thomas Jarvis was appointed to fUl his seat until the

Legislature oould eleot a successor.

During the great suffrage campaign In 1900 the advice the former Governor gave was eagerly sought after and followed.

Later Years Thomas Jordan Jarvis was now slkty-four years old. Jt had been a long way across the years

lor the faroi bdy from Currituck. And if fame oould be counted as merits upon which to retire. he could have stepped aside easily.

He could have contented himself with jobs well dene and kept to his offloe chair and home with knowledge that he had paved his way weU. But, with such men as Thomas Jordan, there always seems to be a seeking out of other things to be done.

The Tralaiai School %

A bUl establishing a Trainln|r School for teachers was Writteo by Jarvis and W.H. Ragsdale. This bill was Introduced in the Legislature by Senator Jimes L. Fleming, of Greenville and was passed in 1907.

Jarvis came before the Greenville Board of Aldermen to get them interested In having the school located In Greenville.

The ahtonweo. wita todeed to terested, and wi May 7, 1907. the town people responded to US Interest and authorised the Bdard to Issue and sell $78.000 worth of bonds.

One week later, the coun t y people voted for the Issuance of $50.000 of bonds for a Uke purpose.

The rest of the story Is history, the school was located In Greenville and from Ito beginning has played an Important role In the area.

The End

Thomas Jordan Jarvis died on June 17, 1915 at the age of seventy-nine years.

They have across the years done several things in his memory.

One of the girls dormitories at the college bears his name and a town street is named aft

er hlpjl* r ,

perhaps the best of the local monuments to his memory is ths college on Fifth Street that be \ helped build.

But viewed over the spsn of alfost half a century since he died, much teems remiss on tbo_ local as well as state level In honoring this man.

His house that stood on the c(xmer of Greene and Fifth should have been made Into a museum containing his papers and other records of his d^s as teacher, soldier and tsjan.

How readily we brealuw ties with the yesterdays ln"wr called march of progress.

We forget too soon, that al^ most aU of our modem day buildings in the phases of o u r Uvea, are layed wi top of the works and lifetimes oi such men as Thomas Jordan Jarvis.

He noted that various sections such as cataloguing have had to move temporarily to allow con

Smiley also noted that "students often cannot find places to study - when they come to the library. We think the additi o n wl alleviate that problem." *

Extension Division Is Carrying ECC To The People

Carolina CoUaga haa Climbed near the top in a number of ways. Its Extensin Division Is one of lU prograimthat CM gone over tbe top.

Under the direction of Dr. David J. Middleton, a nativa of Warsaw and former extension official at Appalachian State Teachers CoUege. the ECC Extension Dlvlsloh sprawls into most of Eastern North Carolina and even Into the fringe of the Piedmont (Raleigh, Durham Paye-ttevUle).

It presently offers the m o s t college credit courses of any extension program in North Carolina. It is the states largei^off-campns program.

From a modest beginning in the late 1940s. the ECC off-campus program has grown into a full-scale organization which operates two residence centers offering a full two-year coll e g e program (Goldsboro and Camp Lejeune). a full-scale first-year program in night classes through the Undergraduate Evening College on the ECC campus and a

center at Cherry Point for which two-year reaidenoo eontor plana are in the making. In additicQ, the division oCfera varloua ooursea in 30 or mors eommunt-ties throughout tbe eastern half of tbe atate.

Dr. MlddletODand his aialat-ant. OreenviUe native Herman D. Pbelpa, can list tome rather bn-presaive atatiatica to define the Extenaion Dlviaion:

During the current achool year the division will file about 11.000 registration cards. At any one time total enrollment will Involve an average of about 2.500 individuals, including around 1.400 in the four centers.

During a complete year the division will organize and conduct about 500 separate classes with as many as 1^ going at any (me time. The teaching corps includes a full-time Extension Divisin faculty of 20 and a complemeui of about 80 regular ECC faculty members who will teach a course each year and about 75 other <]ualifled teachers from various localities who teach from

one to four ooursee each In a years time.

To carry ita program to many different oommunitioa, the Extenaion Diviaion maintains its own fleet of ears, arranges for off-csmpus sals of required textbooks sad ooordlnstes the entire

program through central officei in the Rawl Annex on the ECC campus.

Dr. Middleton and other ECC officers point with pride to a fact that is rather astonishing to many campus visitors: the entire Extenidon Division operation is self-supporting, there is no state appropriation for it.

Revenue from tuition fees covers the entire cost. And tuition fees are as low here as anywhere. Students pay $0 per (luar-ter-hour's credit for off - campus courses, $7 in the Undergraduate Evening College. It is not unusual to find tuition fees far above that figure in other localities. But better bargains are scarce.

Unbudgeted but tangible assistance for the diviaion comes

Great Change Since

Training School Days

Nearly 57 years have gone by since Oovemor Thomas J. Jar-via turned the first spa^ of OreenviUe earth to launch construction of the first six buildings for the East Carolina Teachers Training School.

Since that day. July 2. 1906, there haa been a whirlwind of change as the modest training school burieoned into an edutar tional and cultural citadel for the Eastern North Carolina. Accompanying the growth period was a name tranaitiim to its" present form, Esst Carolina College.

With 6,600 studenta enroU e d for the current achool year tbe college ranks third in student population in tbe state. Another Jump in enrollment ia expected next fall. WeU above 1,000 graduates will receive diplomas in ECC commencement ceremonies in May.

East Carolina, established in 1907 has in recent years steadily outgrown its original role which

from varloua locaUUes where co]mses are offered. Local groups, usuaUy the local school board, arranges for free use (rf a classroom.

On a larger scale, the Craven County Board of Education allows the Cherry Point Extension Center to use Havelock High School and the Marine Air Station furnishes office space for administrative purposes.

In Goldsboro the residence ^center uses Greenwood Junior High Srhnol, ennrtesy of the Wayne County School Board. Seym our Johnson Air Force Base furnishes office space for the centers director, Charles P. McKlever.

At Camp Lejeune the Marine j Corps houses that residence cen- | ter for night classes In Camp I Lejeune High School and iwovid- | es quarters. for the on-ba.se ad- | ministratlve offices of the cen- i ters director, Edmond W. Lim-er Jr.

All three military bases furnish library facilities for students Involved -in the off-campus program f 'om ECC.

'The Extension Division program Is mainly concerned with college credit work, including the reridence credit centers and special off-campus courses whose credit can be applied toward an advanced degree or toward teaching certificate renewal.

But some non-credit courses are offered. Special features Include regular extension credit offered through planned educational tours, both in North America and abroad.

WM dominated by tbe duties of a teachers college primarily for women. <

Though ECC operates today the fifth largest teacher-training program in the nation (it graduated aboutr72S new teachers in 1964), it has added ambitious and increasingly auccesaful programs in liberal arta.

One of tbe latest develop-menta, and this bne^a real mlle-atpne, ia eatabllshment of a School of Arta and Sciences within tbe college.

Women no longer predominate; men (mtnumbered the coeds about 8,400 to 3,200 in the 1964-65 school year.

Tbe college la operating for the 1963-65 fiscal biennium (m a regular budget of about $13.7 million; the capital lminwv-ments budget for the game period is $8.5^million and (Oficiis are asking for $12.7 million for the capital Improvements during the 1965-67 biennium Included In the colleges re-' quest to the State Advisory Bud- : get Commission were funds for! five new classroom buildings,! three new dormitories, a new auditorium - theater, and mon- ey for music and educational' equipment. 1

One new dormitory, seven | story Biglls Fletcher Han fori girls, opened for the first thne. A new three - story classroom : building. New Austin, was completed and occupied in late 1964, Another Is scheduled fo.r completion this year, along with an addition to Wright Building, an addition to Joyner Library and other projects.

Initial construction is expected this year on two additional dorms, one for men and the other for coeds; a new music building; and a new 6,500 - seat gymnasium with a modem pool and related facilities.

At ECC, undergraduate instruction is organized into six schools: Art, Arts and Sciences, Business. Education, Music an(l Nursing); 15 departments (aerospace studies, drama and speech, English, forelgm languages, geography, health and physical education, history, home economics, industrial arts, library science. mathematics, philosophy, political science, psychology and sociology; and the division of science with four departments (biol(^, chemistry, physics and science education).

There are nine national social fraternities and eight natio nal social sororities; many professional and honorary frateraltles and societies have chapters at East Carolina.

In Intercollegiate athletics, the college sponsors teams in baseball, basketball, diving, football, golf, swimming, tennis, track and wrestling. Added recently have been organizations for competition in rowing, lacrosse, kafate and even rugby. Teams are known the Pirates or Buccaneers.

East Carolina is a member of the Southern Ccaiference, one of the nations major athletic organizations for members of the National Collegiate Athlet i c s Association (NCAA).

Physical facilities Include a new football stadium, a new baseball park and a new track and field installation.

Costs for students at ECC can vary* widely depending on student tastes and means.

But college officials estimate that a North Carolina* student in the 1964-65 school year cou^i live in a dorm, eat campus cafe terla meals, pay tuition and other fees and buy necessary textbooks for a minimum of $^ or $317 a quarter.

Students live in 13 dormitories (two more win be buUt soon) in fraternity or sorority houses or In homes of Greenville residents when special arrangements are made.

liv Annual ^ries

Lectures, concerts, Wlms and plays fill the bill for East Carolina Colleges annual entertainment series.

These attractions, wiUi the exception of the playhouse productions, are chosen by student-faculty c(Hnmittees. Rud o 1 p h Alexander, assistant dean of student affairs, has the task of co^ ordlnating the work of the committees. He co-chairs each committee, books all talent, keeps records and handles-all business affairs.

Students have a majority on each comnaittee, he explains. In this way, the students get the programs they want.

Sponsored by the Student Government Association, the series opens most ol its programs to the puUic (excepti(Mi8 are the foreign and domestic films and some of the popular concerts). Tickets may be purchased at the Central Ticket Office. Prices to the public range between $1 and $3, depending on tiie performance. Of course tickets are free for ECC students and faculty.

Because ^ Hinited seating capacity of ECCs auditoriums Austin, McGinnis and Wright and the size (tf the student body, many of the one - night performances of the popular concert series are closed to the public. The Ray Charles concert last honoeccmilng was closed for this reaeon.

Occasional free concerts are held in Picklen Stadium Band-shell. The Journeymen . appeared there during 1964 freshman orientation.

Members of the lecture series are people of national reputation who have something to say to the students. Drew Pearson, nationally known political columnist. opened the series In October. 1964.

Initiated this school year for the lecture series, is a lecture-film program, in which films are personally narrated. The first of this type was Ray Dinsmores Face of the Satellites, presen. ted in October. Inside Castros Cuba and Russia and its People are the two remaining lee-ture-film presentations.

Bringing cultural entert a 1 n-ment to the campus, the Fine Arts concert series begaii. its season with the Raduga Dancers from Russia, followed by Metropolitan Opera star Teresa Strata and the Paganini Quartet. Scheduled to appear later in the school year are violinist Jack Glatzer, the Paris Chamber Orchestra and pianist Grant Johanneoen.

The popular concert series opened the 1964-65 season with the Pour Freshmen. An audience of about 3 f')0 was on hand. Ferrante and Telcher, popular pianists, pppeared Feb. 9. Upcoming attractions include Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians. Josh White and the Serendipity Singers. Attracting the largest audienc-s, the popular series concerts are usually held In Wright Auditorium and Memorl-lal Gymnasium.

'The Colige TTieater ser 1 e s, performed In McGinnis Auditorium, becomes part of the 8GA programs because tickets are available to the students, faculty and the public. My Fair

Lady, with a total audience^bf 3,361 for its four - night run. began the Playhouse season.

The Days and Nights of Beebee Fenstermaker followed with a four - night audience of 1,177, and then ^Richard n. Moby Dick and an opera are scheduled to follow.

Features reserved for students and faculty of the college arc the campus movies and the foreign fUms. Presented each IM-day and Saturday night, the campus movies attract about 1.000 campus folk each week. The 11 foreign films presented c a o b year attract an average pi 400 to 500 viewers per movie.

Alexander emi^asizes the patrons get more than their moneys worth when they attend the entertainment series programs. The programs cost more than a sell . out bouse could pay for.

Interest is increasing in the fine., arts and lectures series. Alexander observes. The students help select the attractions and we are gradusdly improving the quality of our overall entertainment; therefore, there is a greater attendance.

By having an entertainmeni series, we have tied together a program to make avallare to the public and the students entertainment in a more organic ed fashion and tickets at a mor, reasonable price.

Gampus Building Names Are Part Of History

By JOHN G. DUNCAN Prom its modest beginning of From it modet beginning of six buildings on ctmpus. the Cfist Carolina College has grown much during the years slnea 1G09.

And with each new building, a new name is added to one that has to) gtu-

dents and faculty.

And to the few acres that made up the original campus, many more have been added It has become an area large enough to divide Into two cam

puses north and south.

Perhaps in days to come, these camiMises will bear the name of someone who contributed in someway to the school and Its growth.

North Campus The dean" of all buildings on campus Is the old Austin building. #OFBiaiiy years it has been the symbol of the college. It was named for Herbert E. Austin, who was a teacher of geography and science.

West of the Austin building stan(U Wilson Hall, a dormitory

for women. It was named for C. W. Wilson a one-time member of education department,

East of Austin is the building named for Governor Thomas J. Jordan.

^ext going east is the building named for State Senator James Lawson Fleming who in 1907 introduced a bill into the N.C. Benate for the establishing of a teachers training school In eastern North Carolina. <

Fleming lived Just long enough to see the school he help bring into being open Its door to students.

He died in an automobile accident on Nov. 5, 1909 one month exactly from its opening. Oct. 5, 1907.

The other two old buildings housing women students are Cot-ten Hall and Ragsdale Hall.

Gotten Hall was named for Sallle Southeh Cotten of Cotten-dale, which for many years was one of the statea promin o^nt^ homes.

Ragsdale was named for William H. Ragsdale, who for quite sometime was active in coiinty and state educaticmal matters.

College Often Cited As A Reason For Grovdh; The Facts - Are These

When local busloemmen were queried about Pitt County economic potential, they frequently cited East Carolina College as influential In contributing to an atmosphere of growth and development here.

Considering this Influence hi local development, East Carolinas president Dr., Leo W. Jen-iatts__saidL_"Thg^^ w

Operating budget in excess $8.000,000 each year and sup-poits about 950 full-time employees.

In addition, It is estimated tha each of the 6,645 students spends from $100 to $400 acmu-a!y in the community for clothes. food and entertainment." Dr. Jenkins continued.

Moreover, "The college Is a community in itself requiring the services of many entrepreneurs who would serve sny cwn-munity.

Queried about the proposed computation center that will be combined with the services in the Institute for Regional Planning, Dr. Jenkins replied, "The effect here is to present in Eastern North Carolina a desirable service that cant be provided by other communities.

"This means a complete inventory and analysis service that can be done locally."

It means not oply enlarged comixiter services, but also that the services be coupled with the skills of economists, cartographers, sociologists and psychologists. Thus, a complete inventory of each community and groups of communities can be made,"

Attracting Industry "It means in effect that If a prospective Industrial firm desires to locate here but finds some desirable factors missing, there will be an opportunity to see if those factors are available In other communities in Eastern North Carolina before deciding to leave the state." Dr. Jenkins explained.

Dr. Jenklng laid, "We are fortunate in securing the services of Tom WUlis to head the imo-Ject. He hu complete respect of the business community. East Carolina College should benefit greatly from the contributions he will make as director of the center.

Commenting more speclflcslly on the computer, Dr. Jenkins noted that students here will he able to work with specific problems, not' Just hypothetical ones.

He went on to sty, "We recog. nlze the effect of this center wUl be limited until the East has a greater system of highways and other forms of transporta-

ulation lives within 300 mUsr ^ this area." he noted.

Questioned about developments In the sciences, Dr. Jenkins asserted, First priority In the next capital improvements pro- gram Is for a two million dollar

science buUding.

We realize the Importance of the sciences and emphasize the varloue branches in the disciplines."-

He cited the need for a medical center In conjunction with the proposed two-year medical program.

In the area of business Or Jenkins Claimed that the School of Buslnss must serve lcgl, businessmen more than It Is presently doing.

He explained lhat the reglon-al Institute will be served by the business staff and uld. "Wa are seeking the services of ten additional PhUs so that vnall merchants may come to the Institute and discuss problems with the economists."

"This brings us particularly tnlo the area'of marketing and toqrlftm. and we proposo to be-vigorously Isvolvid Ja

both," Dr. Jenkins emphasized.

Influence in Arts

Queried about the colleges influence on the arts in this area. Or. Jenkins noted. "Eastern North Carolina is at the birthplace of the state and the nation and Is no stranger to the arts.

"The first novel and play Was Written 'Wlthln - cur borders and there is a tremendous latent ability in unspoiled creativity here. It is our task to ferret this out and encourage Its development.

We encourage this development through an artist In residence, a composer in residence, a sculpter in residence and a writer in residence."

"These men and their proteges already have earned national reputations." Dr. Jenkins maintained.

He continued, "The next big awakening will be in poetry, and we are laying foundations

for this with the effect of the poetry group hvte. We look forward to having a poet in residence in the near future."

Dr. Jenkins observed, All this Is in keeping with the desire to emphasize that living is as important as making a living.

He explained that because ec--onomic - depressions, that.-severly affected agrarian people during the last century, the *^astem North Carolinian has been obliged to spend a porportlonate share of time to the struggle for exlstance.

Dr. Jenkins went on to say, It is obvious the Easterner Is anxious to move from under such strain 'and enjoy more of life. This Is e Idenced by tremendous support of the summer thea-

teFv

He cited the common oversubscription of neighboring communities to the theater as exemplary of this desire and said.

We feel they will do likewise with other cultural pursuits.

He noted that as a state institution Fast Carolina has not only an obligation to imporve on its own but also to entertain suggestions from the people. He pointed o that through the General Assembly the people have indicated their desire to see the institution grow.

It musf grow, however fectlvely and efficiently. Our board of trustees recognized this when they authorized the employment of a professional planning firm to project the development of the college for the next 50 years.

Dr. jenxins reported that -In the not too distant future cOn-I siderable land contiguous to the I college will have to be acqulr-I ed. Good planning requires that the learning center remain as a center and the current land supply is presently exhausted," Dr. Jenkins declared.

Plenty Of Space

The main Iwiildlng ^ the Moose home, or temple, has 7,300 square feet of floor apace. Slightly over 4,374 squart feet of this area is devoted to the Auditorium. The remainder is shared by a modem kitchen, offices, fn attractivel: furnished club room, a recreation room and an annex to the club known as **The Twilight Room". There is air conditioning throughout.

The auditorium is often used by other rrganlzatlons for large gatherings and dinners. It can seat up to 500 .pe<Hde, and 400 can be served at dinners. The large room has a etage convenient for use as a bandstand or speakers, or entertainers.

The lodge owns another important adjunct to a popular and busy centf of activity: a 36,250 square foot paved parking lot, believed to be the largest prl-vately-ownec parking lot in the county.

For four years after being

chartered, the local Moose regularly met in quarters rented above a furniture store In downtown Greenville. When their members! " reached about 450, decision was made to take the big plunge: to buy land on the outskirts of Greenville and build a home In which the Moose could take pride. Over the years they have made numerous im-

membershlp of over 250 women, the local chapter is the largest in the state.

They frequently serve in large-scale '.anvasslng campaigns of organizations seeking support for health causes, assist the regular visits of the Red C.oss Blood-mobile; serve dinners, and contribute to many endeavours fi-nanciallyrs well as with their labors. T o of their members have held the post of Deputy Grand Regent for the Carolinas.

Governor Harris confidently expects the Moose to continue its growth and service in Pitt County. "As in most organizations, he explains, "you get out of a fraternity what you put into it; but I believe. . ^as do others . . .that the rewards of the Loyal Order of l.Io,.se (wtweigh what one puts into it. As Greenville and Pitt County grow, so' will Lodge 385. . .u more And more people leam what we have to offer, our own horizims of progress are virtually unlimited."

ber of calls scaled the 200 mark in 1958 as 230 rescues were made. And the squad grew. , . i-eceivlng in the Istc 1950s one boat, motor and trailer from the

County government, then later a second boat and motor from a local mar'ne supPly firm: and for a period of three years received a new vehicle which firemen converted to an ambulance to take part of the woik load off the 1948 model truck. The vehicles. two station wagons and a corvair van. were donated on a yearly exchange basis by a local motor company.

Then in 1958. the cHy constrnct-ed an annex to the central fire station, dedicated in' Febniary, 1959, to Chief Gardner, to house the squads equipment and in 1962 the 1948 model truck was , sold to the WlUiamston Res cue Squad and two new vehicles were purchased. Both are outfitted to i transport four stretcher cases, are oxygen equipped and carry a wide variety of - hand tools.

I rope and other items necessary to perfect rescues in vari o u s types of situations.

In 1963, the squad responded to 464- calls and last year answered over 550 calls. -

In an effort to continue serving the citizens of Greenville and , Pitt County with the high e s t type of rescue vservlce, two fulltime rescue men were added by the City January 1. These men. whose primary responsibility 4s I rescue work, will respond to all I fire alaiins with a rescue vehicle.

Some of the laurels that have come to the local rescue unit Include taking first place In state-wide f'^st aid competition in 1960. 1961, and again in 1962; placing first in the North Carolina Association of Rescue Squads rescue competition In 1961 and 1962: being the highest scoring . S. team in international rescue competition in 1961; and being named World Rescue Champions by placing first in competition (the first United States team ever to hold the title ) sponsored by the International Rescue and First Aid Association in Montreal, Canada, In 1962.

Jointly by the fire department and by the rescue unit: a utility trailer carrying portable generators and lighting equipment; a two-boat trailer complete with boats and motors, a portable Iron lung and numerous other items of equipment which enables the department to carry out ita Ufe-saving function.

And n(rt only are the volunteer members of the rescue unit trained In rescue operations, the men are also given instruction In proper methods of firefighting and respond to major fires where their a.sslatance la needed. -

Fire Chief J. L. Jones, under whose control the department's rescue activities.fall, praised the public for their past support of the departments rescue activities. Without the complete support of the individuals and many

business firms who have donated money and equipment in the past. . .the squad would not,have been able to render the service that it has.

He emphasized that the rescue service is for emergency cases only and that the high number of calla reflect for the most part only emergency calls.

Ciiief Joneo attributed much of the rescue squads success to! volunteer particlpaUon. Before even the vohmteer group was formed, participation in the department's rescue activities was on a volunteer bn.sis. And even since, paid firemen have been assigned rescue duties only on a voluntary basis. ^

This. Chief Jones explain c d. assures only men interested in the work to participate. And in turn, the men take a greater pride hy^tbr quidHy service they

render. ^ ^

The Fire Department h c d added that the squads tie with the department serves to maka it probably the most efficient rescue squad In the state. Paid men are on duty 24-hours a day and respond quickly. . .where in an emergency situation, minutes may make the different between life and death Volunteers, who when possible respond with paid men or all

caUs. serve as a manpower pool tona

.ndle major operations such as search missions, dragging op-eratlons in the event of drowning: and work with heavy dytv rescue operations should a major emergency arise.

Although the squad's maj o r portion of calls are in response to vehicle collision.^, heart attacks and cuttings rank high on the list.

The squads growth and life saving activities, including actual rescue operations and presenting lecture programs, have not been confined to Greenville and Pitt County. The squad has been responsible in part for the .foiTnatlon of rescue units in Nash County. Goldsboro, Washington, RobersonviUe, New Bern and Grifton and had aided with training of these squads.

N.C. Rescue College The department has given Im- i petus to training on a state-wide basis by heading a movement three years ago to establish the North Carolina Rescue College. The highly successful training program, backed by the North Carolina Association of Rescue Squads and the Fire and Rescue Service Division of the N o r t h Carolina Department of Insur

ance began by offering the first section of a four-phase program at the Greenville Fire Department training facility In 1962. The single school here in 1963 offered Unit One and Unit Two.

Last fall the program was expanded to Include, in addition to the Greenville school which offered three units of the four-step course, additional schools at Brevard and Winston-Salem, which offered one unit and two units respectively.

As rescue workers complete one phase of the training, they move on to the next step. At the COTTipletion of the four - unit program, certificates of completion will be awarded by the State Department of Insurance.

Well over 100 men from across

the state have attended each school held locally.

At present, the squads list of equipment includes two light rescue vehicles capable of transporting four stretcher cases each, a heavy duty rescue truck, a four-wheel drive vehicle used

City Police Department Is

Keeping Aji Eye On Future

Traditionally a strong and ef-; flcient pplicp department assures the citizens tha tlielr individual rights will not be infringed upon. And through the years, as the Grefn\llle Police Department evolved, lawmen have endeavored 10 protect the lives and property of the townspeople. i

About 1900 the only law offi- ; err In Greenville was a Negro known as Brown who acted as , a watchmi.n at night. Later a Captain Smith was hired by | th? city government, then about i IJilO Smith hired Jessie Which- ard who retired from the de-' partnieut in 1961 and still serves | as bailiff of the recorders court here.

Smith reirained chief until; 1918 when W, R. Brewer was i ^ named chle^ then Captain Jes- | sle Whichard held the post about 1928 and 1929.

Following Whichard, Prest o n Pierce, George A. Clark, John Tanner and Beauford Oinim held the office, nnd in 1947 Lester D. Page, who was hired by the department in 1928 to set up an i identification bureau for the de-, partment, became chief. He i scrv'ed until 1950, then Chief Langston took up the post.

Langston .served until 1952 when S.G. Gibbs to<^ over Gibbs resigned in July, 1961 and

Langston retumed as head of the department.

To back P his point that more men are needed, and will be needed in the future, Langston turned to a study listing the pro-jcctctf needs of the department through the year 1975, based on the citys rate of growth in the past and its projected growth in the future.

In 1952, with 2,821 vehicles registered in Greenville, the department maintained four cars and three motorcycles, and 28 men.

For the fiscal year of 19M-6S, the city authorlMd a bu<M 01 173,933 for tba Oireenvia Rao-reatlon D partment. a very dramatic exe^ of the trowth and progreM made In the provision of recreational faculties for the clty*a youth and adulu.

though lhal first allocation wap made to prvida for a city sponsored program (a baseball club), the Recreation Department as such waa non-existent

at the time. :> .........

Xt was, In fact, not estabUsh-e<r until 40 years later.

Commlsaloa Established ^ The first budget designated expressly for the Oreenvllle Recreation Commission (established on March 3, 1940) totaled 19.350 plus $2,000 for a program for the citys Negro youth.

.A director was hired full time In 1951, the first full Ume dlrec-t6r. He was Warren CarroU.

One of the flist Indications of serious Interest In mmridlng city-sponsored public recreational facilities was In 1927 when then Mayor J. C. Lanier appointed a committee to ^dy piuts and plavgnunds.

A weeK litif, on July 7. W. Posers cmne beforr the board to recommend the city buUd a swimming potU "for the better-m^'nt of the youth of Oreenvllle.** After some discussion and remarks from various citteens. action was (kferrtd. LttUe mention of such a swimming pool wu made from then untU August of 1933.

At that time, a citizen's committee petitioned the city board to borrow $12 to $15.000 for con-structlor of a pool on the south side of Fifth Street in front of tho High School (now Oreenvllle Junior High).

A resolution was passed, plane were made, and the pool was built and completed a year later the first big step toward providing organized, supervised recreation tof young and old alike Iri the town of OrecnvUle.

Another giant step, taken in 1939, was the buikUng of Guy Smith Stadium by the Public -Works Department, Constructed ai a total of approximately $81,-493.69, the 2,(X)0 seat stad i u m was paid for by federal funds under the WPA and by city funds.

Since that time, ibe stadium h^s become an integral part of the recreational fskcllities ' of Greenville, providing adequate space and facilities for track and ba<;eball activities day and night.

It is a major asset in the operation of the city s UtUe League baseball programs. -Elm 84rct Pmii Elm Street Park, a name syn-onnmous with recreationsd activities for folks of all ages ttiroughout Oreenvllle, had Its bc-pfunings in April of 1951 when the' property on either aide erf Em Strert aciith of the Green Mill Run was donated by the citv for use as a lrk.

The Recreation Center was buUt, tennis courts were built, and other faellitlea added. A sound, tborouibly organized program of recreational activities began building up steam.

The City Fathera. had meanwhile seen fit to Increase alio-cattciia to the dfparGPent from the meager (though adequate for faculties then provided) budgets of preceedlng years ($1.000 in fiscal year 193(K51) to $20,000 in 1951-52. and to $30jl00 la 195344.

Along ^ tth ttw growth and progress of the citys public recreational facilities durhig these years came the reetgnatlon of the director, and his replacement in April, 1959, by Gordon "Goodman. .....-

In that same month, the next year bids were re-advertised and contracts were awarded in May fcM* the constmctkm of a recreation building at South GreenvUle School, similar to the one at Elm Street Park.

This adf'ttional facility povld-ed a recreational gathering place for many youth who previously had had no center. It was added to the Recreation Department at a cost of app.oxl-mately $19.000.

The budg.t for the fiscal year 1967-59 was increased to $37,860. a far cry from the $1.930 of 1939.

Under Goodmans direction, the Recreation Department rose to Its present status in the community. Aiding him In tbe week was Mrs. Marie Breedlovt, Pro-granv Supervisor <rf EbB Streets and In reality If not official^, a very hard working assistant director.

The Ubrary has a staff of 21 fuU-time staff members and 75 part-time workers, mostly students who are given self - help employment whUe they earn their education.

The library houses 250,000 volumes and hsis an additional 50.-000 books in micro-print. To aid in the learning and research engaged in by faculty and students, the library also receives 850 magazines.

In addition to space for the printed word, the Joyner Library has an auditorium seating approximately 150 persons anl several seminar rooms. Other facilities include the closed circuit television studios, the campus radio station, WWWS which broadcasts on FM to off-campus points and through a special wiring on standard AM bands to college dormitories.

This can be partly attributed to the growth of the battery business during the last 20 years.*

FARMVTLIiE Gene Craw-TOrd. manager of the Collins and A&man textile plant here, described the local labor force as undergoing a sophisticatlorr to industry from agrarian backgrounds.

The people have learned the difference between agricultural work and industrial work and have adjusted very well to the change, he remarked. I am very impressed.

The present Collins and Aik-man facility employs about 150 people In the various phases of turning synthetic fibers into cloth. There are well over 100 high speed knitting machines In the 130,000 square foot plant that are capable of producing hundreds of thousands of pounds of cloth per week.

These machines simultaneously take thousands of. strands of nylon and acetate filaments and weave them into a cloth about 14 feet wide.

The basic consumer product Is a lingerie - type cloth. The cloth is now finding other uses in such products as jacket linings and shower curtains as the market for the cloth began expanding in the last few years, Crawford said.

To help meet this expansion the Collins and Aikman firm built the local facility last year and currently to building an additional structure adjacent to the present plant.

The 121-year-old firm, which Is publicly held through the New York Stock Exchange, has textile manufacturing plants In Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia, California and Clnada, Headquarters are in New York City.

Products of the corporal ion serve a national market not only with tricot fabrics for lingerie, but also with fabric for automobile' upholstery and carpet 1 n g, iraiisportation fabrics for alf-

craft, toy plush, pile aw)arel fabrics, yams, acdent rugs and industrial fabrics.

It to the tricot material that to produced at the local plant.

Sought Water, Labor

To produce the synthetic cloth the corporation sought an area that could produce good water in ample supply and also that had an available labor force. These were found in Parmville and last year the plant moved into full operation here.

Queried about Pitt Countys economic and Industrial potential CYawford replied that, Our ex-p^dence here has been very good. We were guided-and helped ki establishing a plant here as part of the local community.

Crawford went on to say that the former director of Parm-villes Economic Council, Tom Willis, was a tremendous asset in helping us reach capacity Pfoduirtlwi in so short thne.

He to an attribute to a community that paved the way for us.*^

Crawford also ciMiunented on a noticeable community spirit for teamwork that eased the headaches of relocating.

Commenting on the future of the local operations Crawford said "We are Justified in our confidence here and are more than doubling the plant size to add a dyeing and finishing operation. The new addition should be In operatlOTi this coming April.

As a company we have Just scrsUched the surface In terms of the development that could be done here by other industries, he added.

He asserted that since the corporation operated its own transportation division there had not been a serious problem In moving goods so far. However, he did note that when the new piant oes htto operation next

spring, distributing the dyed goods might be a problem. Moreover, Moving personnel in terms of airlines Is a problem, he cmtinued.

South Carolina Native

Crawford,^ who Is a native of Laiirens, S.C., graduated from Hickory Tavern High School and continued hto education in Clem-son University, where he majored first in architecture and then in textile manufacturing. He graduated to 1957.

He served two years in the United States Navy on a light Cruiser in the Pacific.

Today the Oreenville Tobacco Market it a giant; the tecond largatt Udsacco maiioet in ibo-eiK tire Eastern Belt. It has five complete sets of buyers and last year sold over 60 million pounds of tobacco and paid out over 34 million dollars to Its many cua-toniers. Dally sales during 1964 were at high as 2.354,654 pounds sold for $1.47,333 in one day only.

Satorlet aad 4Vairt Paid Out bi AikHtlon to MilUont ofrr Dollars for Tobacco

The salaries and wages paid out to the thouwnds of laborers and executives who work in the tobacco knd related industries, when added to Qie 34 mlHlcm dollars paid to the fanners, is a bulwark to tiie econonilc life of this entire community.

But It has not always been so. The Greenville Tobacco Markets beginning was, like the tiny

acorn, small and insignificant.

Early editions ctf The Daily Reflector give this account; **Hardy PI<Nieen Stake Their ..,^11 to Develop the Countys Moat PrMltahlo Resource The first commercial crop of tobacco produced in Pitt County

nccuired during the _.ycat_ 1^6^

At that period Nash county was doing a very good Job of raising the weed and took much pride in their daim td having nmnerous and successful tobacco growers.

It was during the year of 1R66 that Messrs. L. F. Evans. A.A. Forbes, T. J, StanclU and Jacob Joyner. Jointly engaged the services of one ot the Nash county experts, this expert agreed, and from that day on the tobacco his-tcH7 of Pitt County has added many pag t.

The first tobacco crop was indeed a real experiment for these splendid pioneers, and to be perfectly frank, their first attempt at growing tobacco proved only a partial su^ess, but it resulted in more acreage and the following year new and added effort was extended. The follow I n g

years, had, of course, many trials and trlbulatlcms, but in the year 1890 Pitt County had reached a production totalling nearly a half iQlUlon pounds. The largest and nearest tobacco markets during this period were located at Oxford. Htenderson and

Naturally, the success of the above plcMieers brought more tobacco farmers into the fold, more and more acreage was secured: then In the year 1890 a tobaoco warehouse was suggested and erected in Wllspn. N.C. In 1891, due largely to the efforts of R. J. Cobb, stock subscriptions were offered and tken up thug permitting the erection of Greenvilles first tobacco warehouse, on the site that is now occupied by Johnstons Warehouse. The new warehouse was known as the Greenville, and was (8?erated under the direction of G. P. Evans. This warehouse Was sixty by'me hundred and twenty feet The Brst ssde of tobacco took place in September. on the 23rd, 1891. Prior to the start of the auction the ware

house was full to overflowing, however, the entire |unount of leaf was only about 28.000 pounds. It Is a known fact that Just before the auction began. It was discovered that no financial arrangement had been made to handle the rale of the 26,000 pounds of tobacco. At this critical mmnent. Mr. Bvahs instriict-ed the management to Issue checks for all tobacco and be would see that they were paid. He Immediately departed tor the Bank of Greenville which was the towns flrst bulking institution. This bank soon notlfleo us that credit had been arranged by Mr. Cc^ to take care (rf these

Mr. O. F. Evans, manager, and Mr. 0. L. Joyner, bookkeeper, were busy men during those days. The gruelling hours caused Mr. Joyner to resign as soon as the last sale was cleaned up fully decided that bookkeeping was not his line (tf business.

trona-the^moiw letivs marksts up country, who heretofore had been the chief benefioiaries of the tobacco grown in this section of North Carolina. Speculators, and a few local people agreed to fur* strii or o^idtaL to m^

experienced handlers in order to stimulate competition and thus TieTpThe loSScco market In Oreenville along.

OhI What a time some of those in tha warehwise bustneaa had with the buyers during the first few years !n the tobacco maricet* Ing history.

The first year of operat 1 n showed that the Oreenville Tobacco Market sold 225,000 pounds: the next year another warehouse was erected. The Eastern. It being built by Mr. O. L. loyner. Acreage now had increased considerably and with the establishment of several order buyers the leaf sold the Greenville - market during the next year totaled 1,250,000 pounds. Wilson, NX?., was then our strongest competitor for the leaf that was being produced in the Greenville territory. It was quite the same story with Henderson and Oxford. N.C., bidding for the leaf that grew In the fields about Greenville. These markets were old markets, well established but still, Greenville kept right on plugging which resulted to the third year sal total of 2,250,000 pounds. As the acreage increased the sales on the Greenville Tobacco Market grew by leaps and bounds; new ware-I houses and c^er facilities were added to handle the demand for the sale of the leaf. Everyone had the utmost confidence in the Greenville Tobacco Market, and today that confidence still exists.

Prom the first warehouse erected to Greenville, In the year 1891, owned Ly a stock company formed by R. J. C?obb and Mr. O. L. Joyner, the tobacco market continued to grow steadily year after year, and even with the strong competition Greenville encountered from numerous nearby markets the sales Increased more rapidly and more substantially than any other market to the Eastern North Carolina belt. Greenville has met every demand and emergency exacted from her,

Greenville Markets Rapid Growth

The Greenville Market grew rapidly and steady from 11 s meager beginning, and by the year 1910 had reached a total yearly sales of 8,028.295 pounds. More warehouses were built and operated and more factories and

buying personnel came to Greenville. By 1920 Greenvilles yearly sales totaled 38337.332 pount^s.

These were the days before crop control and gradually Pitt Cmmty. by virtue of its unique soQ^ aad^^ltoMto-and-tobaeoo^ culture, became the laigest tobacco producing county to the nation: Rs^noeeiipie^^^ position es the nation's largest flue qpred tobacco produc 1 n g

county- ____.......

As more and more acres of high quall^ tobacco were PitK duced in Pitt County, the Green* ville Tobacco Market continued to grow until to 1930 '"cenvlUcs total sales were 70,457.900 pounds.

Hard Work Secured Five Sets

Of Biiyere For Greenville By reason of the hard work and untiring efforts of our Oreenville tobacconists, buying companies were nersuaded to put more and more sets of buyers on the Oreenville Market to take care of thlft ever jncreaslag^iloQd of high quality tobacco. Flrrt, one set of buyers, them twc sets, then three sets, then four seta and at last five sets of buyers were added by the buying companies to the Greenville Market. This is the greatest number of sets of buyers wi any market to the entire naticm. Only three markets in the entire nation have flve sets of buyers, Greenville, NC., Wilscm, N.C. and Lexington, Kentucky. Every major export and domestic buying company to the world is represented on each of these five sets (rf buyers now operating to Oreenville.

The Beginning of Crop Control Of Tobacco The year 1933 saw the beginning of crop ccmtrol for tobacco, the individual farmers signing an agreement with the Secretary of Agriculture to cut the size of the crop In order to reduce the supply of tobacco and thereby Increase the price per pound.

. _ - wy . ^ JAW- a

Tiic Rcrr-amftit Act Most fanners signed this agreement for voluntary crop control to 1933, but some did not, and in 1934 the Kerr-Smlth Act was passed providing penalties for those farmers who did not cooperate in the voluntary control of acreage.

In 1938, the tobacco farm e r s voted out crop control for the 1939 crop and the 1939 crop was raised and sold without any crop control of any kindr Greenvilles Largest Poundage Came in 1939 In 1939, with acreage control voted out by the farmers. Greenville had its largest year, selling

Bethel Cold Storage Serves Many People

We have not set up our business as a wholesale dealership, but as a' service to our customers, says J.E. Copeland, president of Bethel Cold Storage of Bethel.

We only hope to continue to grow and prosper as .we have done so far.

Bethel Cold Storage was founded by the Reverand J.P. Harris in 1946 as Harris Pood Service. In 1961, the business was sold to the family of F.L. Edens of South Boston, Virginia, and Incorporated as Bethel Cold Storage, Inc.

Bethel Cold Storage placed second to the National Ham Show In 964. First place was awarded to a ham curer who was a user of Beth-Co sugar cure, a product of Bethl Cold Storage, Inc.

Owners and officers of the company are Ridgeway Edens, president; J.E. Copelsuid, vice president and manager; Mrs. F.L. Edens, 2nd vice president: and Mrs. J.E. Copeland, secre-

tary-treasurer.

The company serves a business area of Pitt County and the surrounding areas of Edgecombe and Pitt Counties.

J.E. Copeland was born in Stokes, and attended Stokes High School. He later attended the University of North Carolina. ~

Previous work experience in-, eludes two years as a salesman, three years as a worker at Harris Pood Service, six years as assistant manager of ParmvUle Frozen Food Lockers, two years as manager of C.W. Supermarket; and five years as manager of Bethel Cold Storage.

Married to the former Lucy M. Knox, Copeland Is the father of three children.

Copeland Is a member of the Hickory Grove Free Will Baptist Church, where he serves as superintendent of the Sun day School and as a teacher of the Young Peoples Class. He has also held offices in the local Woodman of the World.

79,045.070 pounds of tobacco during that season. However, due to the exce of tobacco produced in 1980 the crop only averaged $16.35 and the total money paid out by the Oreenville Tobacco llark^ to fanners that year waa only $12,9?1,814.00 The very next year (1940) to* continto were vot^^ ed back in again, and the 1940 crop was lised and sold under acreage control.

Allotment of Tobacco Acres Under this program of acreage control the P^deral Government allocates to eaeh farm in each county the number of acres of tobacco that can be grown and sold on that farm. Pitt CJounty received the largest acreage allotment of any county in the nation. Since that time it has consistently, year after year, received the largest flue cured tobacco acreage allotment of Juty county to the natlcm.

* Marketing quotas and acreage control have a>ntlnutoJh eWect on flue cured tobueo idnoe then. During this time the acreage has been increased and decreased as the demand for tobacco changed.

Toba Price Support Begins in 1948 In 1946 price supports on tobacco came into exlstance through the establishment of the Phie Cured Tobacco Cooperative Stabilization Corporation.

Since then the price of tobacco has been supported m the warehouse floors, thus assuring the fanner of a guaranteed price for his tobacco each year.

In 1947, the year after the establishment of the StabiUzat 1 o n Corporation, the Greenville Tobacco Market sold 70.341,012 pounds of tobacco.

Greenvilles Largest Poundage Under Price Support Greenvilles largest poundage since establishment of Stabilization came In 1955 when Green-viUe-sold 77X4i553^ pounda AB(i paid out to farmers $40.285,337.00. averaging $51.96.

Recently the entire flue cured acreage allotment has been cut by the Secretary of Agriculture several times, but the average yield per acre has steadily Increased, and to a large extent has thereby nullified these acreage cuts.

Snnolies Now at All Time High The 1964- 5 supply of f 1 u e-cured tobacco Is an all41me record high of 3.743 million pounds, including a July 1 carryover of 2,379 million pounds, and estimated 1964 production of 1.-364 million pounds.

The buildup of supplies reflects high yields and big crops In 1962 and 1963. In the past 3 years, production has exceeded U. S. use plus exports by about 386 million pounds;

Receipts by the Flue C?ured Stabilization Corp ration are also at an all-time record high amounting to close to one billion pounds of tobacco stocks now on

hand to Stabilization. These two factors CO tbined have necessitated a furthe. cut to acreage ol 19/* percent for the year 1963.

Whether'or not this will pre-duce the desired results of reducing total eupplies and alao reduo-ing StablUaation stocks on haod is anybodys guess. Some think that the 19^ i>efeet reduction in acreage will only result in in-creased yield per acre and that some torm of control other acreage ultimately b hec-eeaary J&egwe supplies ara brought to line with demand and our Targe surplus eliminated.

Th Dally Raflacfor, Oraanvtlfa, M. C.-Prfraat andl tmliMHl HevlifW,Pitt Extension Service Wcc Launched In 1914

Pitt Countys Agricultural Extension Service, as it exists today. originated here In 1914. JUst trtcr the U. 8. Congress passed the law establishing the federal Extension Service.

At that time there was ohly one farm agent hired on a part-time ^ste. ----

Early Farm Agent The first full-time agent came hcic h) 1917. Now a forestry speclaUst with the State office, R. W. Qralver was here for two years and was followed by Troy Ferguson In 1919.

Theres an old story circulated by Sam Winchester, present Extension agent here, that Ferguson, after he took the job in Pitt County, went to tlie old Fla.iagan Buggy Company ard purchased a horse a*id buggy lu carry on his work here. I

In just a very short time he was back, claiming that there was so much to ao and so far to travel that he eguld not do it with tile old style travel niclliod. Ferguson traded the horse and buggy In on a Model T. Ford.

The duties of the early farm agent consisted mainly of traveling from fami to farm working In an advisory capacity with the Individual farmers helping in what ever way possible.

The Farm Agent was alloted an office in the Pitt Courthouse with a chair and a desk. In the early days, there was even no financial appropriation for pencil and paper for the agent.

At one point, J. E. Winslow, chairman of the Pitt County Board of Agriculture, found it, necessary to go with the farm ; agent before the County Com- ; mlssloners and ask for money for such items necessary to carry | on the Farm Agents Work. ;

Demonstration Develop I

Demonstrations, which o v e r r the years have become the main i teaching tool of the farm agents I are said to have bcm a direct i offspring of the boll weevil. i As the story goes, a farm agent named Knapp, who was ; working in the cotton growing area of the southeastern United States set about to prove to the farmers in his area that the boll weevil could be killed.

It was the belief in those early d.ays before 1914 that the pest could not be destroyed and it was just one o those things that the faimer had to Uve wUh. | Knapp, knowing that the pest | could be killed, proved it to a email group of farmci s, and the word spread like wildfire.

The demonstrcvilon was so successful that it lead to.the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. which established a nation-wide program of demonstrations.

Through the years the demonstration program developed, with agents cooperating with N. C. State College, the North Carolina /.gricultural Extension Service and the N. C. Department of A'iiiculture. in presenting to the farmer the la.stcst proven meth-

odf of crop and livestock t^o-ductlon.

Growth in Personal

Pitt County gained Its first fulltime farm agent In 1917 and the county managed with one agent until 1935 when the first assistant agaiL C. 12. Griggs, came to Pitt County. He was replaced In 1941 by Sam C. Winchester, who presently heads the local farm office.

In 1945, Winchester went to Jones County for a short stay as farm agent and returned to Pitt County In 1946 as the bead faim Agent.

Before Winchester came to Pitt County, a second assistant agent was hired here. In 1933. Fred Webb, who now owns a local grain storage business, was hired as the second assistant. He was replaced in 1941 by Sam J. Weeks, who is now tlie tobacco specialist for the county.

Except for a tour of duty in the . S. Army, Weeks has been here ever since.

In 1949, a third assistant was added in Pitt . County as C. J. Goodman came to work here. He specialized in 4-H work until 1955, when a fourth assistant was added and Goodman nioved into the livestock specialty and home development.

In 1962, W. R. Sandcrso'.i came to Pitt County as an assistant agent in charge of 4-H work. Ho replaced Ronnie 0. Tharrington, who is manager of the Pitt office of the Farmers Home Administration.

Mrs. Prances Cobb, secretary to the local extension service came to work in Pitt County In 1945.

More Complex Duties

As years went by and the staff of the Extension Service increased so did the duties of the local agents. Though the demonstration method of teaching remained the most singularly important tool of the service, the first deviation from this method was made in 1932 under the Triple A Act of that year.

Under this act the local farm agents were charged with the responsibility of seeing that farm, ers in their county compiled with the allotments on tobacco, peanuts and cotton.

This duty remained In effect until the Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service was set ui> under l-he- United States Department of Agriculture in 1937.

Another major deviation oc-curred^ in 1940 when local extension offices across the state sponsored the establishment of soil conservation districts.

Pitt County at that time was a member of the Coastal Plain Soil Conservation District, but a fefw years ago the district split up and Pitt was a district in it-.self, known as the Pitt County Soil Coiservation District.

farm agents took on a different hue. As part of the total war effort, local agents worked long and hard to give a trlore concentrated food production and to Increase the production of the oil crops, from which the oil could be used to make nltrogly-

xerhr,---- , -

The latter point was very successful. In 1941, Pitt farmers grew a total of 2,000 acres of peanuts. In 1944 and 1945, production grew to an astonishing 25,000 acres.

During the war, much of the farm agents time was spent In promoting the home garden, whether rural or urban. Citizens were encouraged to grow as much of their own food as possible to take the strain off the nations food supply and enable much of the food to be sent overseas to the soldiers.

According to Sam Winchester, local cltlzen.s were told that this was their patriotic duty. . .their part of tlw war effort:

Pitt Gets 4-H Clubs Though 4-H Clubs had been es

tablished in North Carolina as early as 1909, Pitt County did not get its first clubs until 1935, when a total of 40 boys and 48 girls enrolled, in clubs In Pac-fctrtUBT Bdvolr, ^adcod and Bell Arthur.

These organizations were mainlyproducttor clubs , unraYty known by the crop or practice j they specialized in. such as a | corn club or a tomato_club. The clubs were organized in 1 the schools under the direction j of the Agriculture and H o m e i Economics Extension agents.

In 1962, the 4-H clubs were removed from schools completely establishing clubs on the community basis. W. R. Sander-j son Is the assistant agent now working with 4-H Clubs. He works with Home Economics Assistant agent Mrs. Denise V. RDifrow.

New Extension Programs More recently, tbc Extension Serv' has embarked on varied programs in addition to their regular demonstration work, i These, programs Include such things as the farm and home

devdopmeiit-Program-and more rccoitly, the community development program.

One of the major programs 1 entitled *1,6 In 66, which began In 1961. This program Is aimed at the farm Income in Notlh Carolina and has county extension s twTccs cooperating with the state service and N. C. State College, in a united effort to raise the faim kicome to 11,6 bill Hon by 1966.

When the program began, the states income was $1.2 billion and through this cooperative effort it has already risen to tl.41 billion. ____

One of many of the more recent special programs here in the county was the "R6P program bcld this fall.

Under the direction locally of Sam Weeks, tobacco specialist, the program was an all-out effort to reduce six of the major tobacco pests. Widely publicized and demonstrated, the program proved to be another of the many successful efforts.

Ayden Growth In Last Decade

AYDEN Indicative of t h e growth in Ayden the last decade is the comparative sales of automobile tags which reflect an increase in automobUes here.

The municipality this year ordered 1,100 tags to be sold this year. Eleven years ago there were only 400 tags.

To make room for Increased traffic, four off-street unmetered parking lots have been marked.

The Civitan Creed, the organizations primary reason for ex-Mence.,^.is, based on one simple premise: 'The Golden Rule.

But a simple premise is not always so simple to assume. And it is certainly-not easy toDo unto others as you would have others do unto you.

Civitans in cities throughout the nation try hard to Uve up to that rule, and the 40 dvltans In the GreenviUe chapter of the civic organization are prime examples.

The local organization is a comparative newcomer to this area. It was chartered in 1956 with 25 charter members, and is one of nine Civitan Gubs in what is known as Zone 14. There are approximately 300 Gvitan members in the zone.

The reason for Gvitan's existence. says its current president Warren Whitehurst, are probably best expressed in the Gvitan Creed. It is a service organization and as expressed in the Creed, the motto BuUders of Good Grizenship establishes a broad objective service "base. Each Gvitan Gub, Whitehurst points out, is allowed to select those service activities wh i c h are best suited to the needs of their respective communities.

The Greenville club has chosen several extremely worthwhile reas of service as regular, permanent projects. These include the local school for trainable mentally retarded children, the Rose High School Band; and Boys Home at Lake Waccamaw.

events.

The students always come back excited and ready to share their experiences with their friends. Whitehurst notes.

As with other organizations of its-Type, Gvitan Guha must each year accumulate sufficient funds to carry out all their, projects.

Probably the most famUi a r project of Greenville Qvlt a n s and members throughout, t b c. state. Is the annual Gaxton FYuitcake sale. Members sell the cakes door - to . door. In booths, or from their homes each year untU necessary funds are raised.

Other officers in the Green-

_,ub in addition to president. Whitehurst are Dr. Calvin Dixon. vice-president; Gene Gur-ganus, secretary: C.T. Fleming, treasurer; and Joe Dudley, past president.

The club meets informa 11 y biweekly for dinner and a business session at y?hich time members exchange good will, light conversation, and ideas for improving the clubs service to Its community.

Ths water plant for Oreenville has a three million gallon per day capacity, and Is aided by two wells which provide an additional 1.5 million gallons per day.

The sewage lines, until 1962, were a series cl pipes which dumpsi) the raw waste direoUy into the Tar River.

But in 196*. a sewage treatment plant was built, and an Intsroeptor line, channeled the waste to the plant. There, four million gallons per day can be treated and returned to the Tar, ^ per cent pure.

First In State

Leonard P. Bloxam, director of the Utilities Cimunlsslon. tak. es pride in the fact that the Tar River basin was the first in the state to meet the requirements tA the State iRream Sanitation Commission. Nowhere on the river is raw sewage dumped.

The growth of the gas system was a little slow, but has moved alcmg after its first three years.

The lines were started in 1917 by the Car^a Oas and Eelec-trie Comp^, a private firm, chartered as a subsidiary of the American ESectric Power Corporation.

But because oi World War 1. the lines were not completed and put into service unUl 1920.

Ih 1940, the plant which produced tlM gas was abandoned and an alr-mlxtd propane was used. In 1960, the line was tied onto North Carolina Natural Gas.

The city took over the operar tion of the lines from Candna Gas and Eneotrle in 1922.,

Altheugh the electrical ssrstem flrrt went Into use In 1903. it was

Seven Oepartments

The commission Itself is divided Into seven different depait-ments, ----

The aoeountlng department is in charge A the bilUBff and collection of bills.

The storage department handles all of the supplies used by the commission. This involves some $150.000 per month.

The meter and instrument department has the duty of maintaining and reading the various meters and Instruments.

The electrical distribution department is in charge of all lines carrying power beywd the plant.

The water, gas and sewage department ia responsible for all pipe linea leaving the first two. and entering the last.

The ^ter purification and waste treatment department Is in charge of the two plants which send water out to the city, and which return the purified waste water to the Tar.

The electric generating department is In charge of the plant which generates the power.

Blgxam noted that there were 52 miles of gas lines, 184 miles (A water main. 204 miles of sewage line and 152 miles of electric lines in the city, with an additional 854 miles of power lines in the rural area.

The entire system, which employs 154 people, operates on a $3.9 million budget during the current fiscal year. Of this, $2.7 million are allocated for expenses. while $1.6 million goes for capital improvements.

Bloxam noted that these two do not add up. but:L noted that they were only awproximate. He said the revenues are usually estimated at a minimum, while the outlays were figured as a maximum.

All revenues come from the collection of bills.

The governing body of the commission is a board of commissioners. The members are appointed for a five year term, on a staggered basis so that a new member is named each year. This group sets the policies and rates of the commission.

Bloxam. as utilities director, is in charge of carrying out the boards policies and seeing that all operates correctly.

Harvey assists other investigators in the county in gathering and retaining all available evidepce that will assist them in apprehending or convicting any party who might be guilty.

In cases where there is a question as to the cause of the death medical assistance is called in to determine as nearly as possible the true cause. An Inquest, in the event of a violent death, is left up to the coroners best judgment in cooperation with the district solicitor.

In cases where an inquest is held medical information In hand is presented before a six-man Jury, as well as the testimony of Investigating officers, and any eye witnesses or parties to the death.

^ The--jury , then deliberates, returning-their findings as to the cause of death and_ either rec-ommending someone be held fi for the death.

Harvey, as coroner, has the power of arrest Just as any peace officer and is the only officer who may, upon orders of the court, serve legal papers on the high sheriff of the county.

The 3 a.m. telephone calls are just one of the hazards of the occupation the coroner explained, adding the job is an interesting and varied one, because, no two calls are the same.

Harvey, who in addition to his part-time coroners duties is credit manager for Pitt Memorial Hospital, pointed out some of the most interesting cases he has handled ki the six years in office.

FSRMVILLE - A PRt County Industry that utilizes both area pulpwood and local labor re> sources is the Formica plant that arrived here in 1958.

The Ponnica Corporation, which is a subsidiary of the American Cyanamid Company, built the Farmvllle plant to produce Formica Supercore, a flakeboard sheet.

The corporation is one of the 14 major operating divisions of American Cyanamid.

Manager of the local plant, Tom Canning, explained that this Snpe4ore 4s 'made by ^^mbin-ing wood flakes with synthetic

der heat and pressure.

He saki the primary use for Supercore is as an underlayment for Pormii i Decorative Laminates. The Supercore is also used as furniture cores, cabinet doors and floor underlayment.

Canning said that to produce this Supercore his firm spends more than $900,000 each year to buy pine pulp wood from a 125 mile radius of ParmviUe. About 70 tincks bring close to one million pounds of wood into the plant area on an average day.

About 70 per cent of the pulp 4s-delivered ^ tmok and 4ba remainder is delivered by the

resins and either compounds to-.-Norfolk and Southern and East

Rural Power To Three Families

The first rural electric lines were approved by the Light and Water Commission on August 12. 1919.

The lines were erected to serve the farms of T.E. Hooker. Adrian Savage, and Godfrey Evans, Who resided-on the oldplant^ road now known as the Farm-ville Highway.

The three men were to receive the services on condition tbat they pay the cost of having the poles and wires installed.

This system has grown into a networlT~oi wiree^ tdlalTng 83F rti'les and serves two-thirds of the people of Pitt County. As of December 31, 19C4, the facility was "serving 5,361 rural customers.

Carolina Railroads

The plant turns the pulp into an annual output of 40 million square feet of Supercore.

In the main production building flakes are metered through resin sprays and treated flakes are laid on mats. After running through pre-presses that c o m-press them to size, the mats move into the main hydraulic press with steam heated pressure to make the final boards.

Consumption Of Coal Increased

In 1907 the Light and Water Commission purchased 331V* tons of coal for city consump-

lidm

- Im 1952, before the citys connection with Virginia Electric and Power Company, It purchased an average of 980 tons of coal per month.

* Tho finer flakes are used on the surfaces while thicker ones are inside the boards.

The first boards from the Farmville plant were produced in June of 1959 in an experimental production run.

Canning noted that when the plant began operation It employed about 70 people. This year there were 200 on an annual payroll of more than one million dollars, he said.

Reasons for selecting the Farmville site included a favorable labor market, available public utilities, favorable freight facilities, proximity to raw materials and to markets, and an area reforestation program under which the growing rate exceeds the cutting rate.

Canning remarked that since he first came here in 1957 he has seen many new families moving into the community and sink, ing Pitt County- roots into-;-t h e Farmville area. About 80 per

cent of the employees live within six miles of the plant.

Canning graduated from Ohio State University and Joined the Formica Corporation in 1948, His expertence with the company includes with the industrial engineering department and as a pro-ductiwj supervisor.

In 1955, he was appointed production superintendent of a mold, ing department and later served as plant superintendent at Formicas Wtnton Place Plant in Cincinnati.

Abovit I. per cent o these live in Pitt County, and 85 ber cent live within a 50-mile radius of the plant. Their educational backgroiuids range from high school to i h.D,

Many who were employed first as operators are now in supervisory capacity.

The bulk of todays employees were in farming before coming to work at the plant here. However. many were in retail, governmental and Industrial occupa-ttons. and many, were hired Just out of high school.

The payroll for the first year exceeded |t5,000.000, and In 1963 it had climbed to $15.559.129. In addition, the plant paid out more than $3,500.000 for goods and services purchased in North Caro

lina that yofc.r.

Plant manager W. E. Gladding estimated 1964 production at three times the 1954 output. New equipment, new technology and Improved efficiency have cwn-bined to Increase plant capability to meet growing demands. Gladding said He noted that this meant new job oppottunities and pointed out that since 1962, 500 JoIm have been added to the payroll400 last year alone.

'Completed last year was a multi-million ,|lollar installation to expand jroduction of 'dacron yam for industrial uses.

Since plant start-up, wages

have risen 63 per cent: last years increase was tne fifteenth such

increase in 11 years.

Ground was bnricen for the plant here in April of 1951 and

23 months later the first DiO-ron polyester fibers were coming out of the spinnerets in tbt first production run that has continued since then.

The Kinston plant has spnt thousands of dollars on pollution abatement efforts that guard against contamination of the Ncuse River. The plant last year constructed an aeration pond to provide special treatment for Industrial wastes.

Du Pont selected the plant sito by weighing various factors indicated on a pinball scoreboard. The factors bicluded pr(K xlmity to customers, ease of obtaining raw materials, Igbor supply. availaUe water and power. transporaUon facilities, opportunity for housing developm e n t. churches, schools, hospitals and available recreation.

EXPANSION DEPICTED . . . The area of the Du Pont facility at Kinston en closed within the white lines is the original growth has taken place almost continually since the plant went Into operation.

Dacron" plant Subsequent

KINSTON Continues expansion has marked development of the Du Pont Dacron Plant here which moved to record highs in all phases of activity last year.

The expansions Include n o t only those in physical plant facilities and in production of Dacron fiber as a raw material for other industries, but also includes continuous development of research efforts at the plant.

Indicatix.; of Du Fonts regard toward research is its high con-concentration of technical people in the research laboratories. Exclusive of the companys experimental station near Wilmington. Del., the Kinston Plant features & higher concentration of Ph.Ds. scientists and other technical D,ei)Ple . than, QLher. Du Ppnt ..facn Mies.

The laboratory here was completed in 1954 and today more than 22 engineers, chemists and otlier technically trained men are employed at the research j facility. The modern facility is i oriented toward discovering new i and Improved products and has Its own semi-works which oper- i ate independently of the main i production. plant.

lome Ec Agents Reach Hundreds Of Homes

Extension Home Economics Is an essential part of the educa^ tional program of the Cooperative Extension Service in Agriculture and Home Economics which was established by Congress through passage of the Smith-Lever Act May 8, 1914.

The act gave authority for the Qnlted States Department of Agriculture and the State land-grant colleges to join forces in establishing andr maintaining an out of - school educat 1 o n a 1 program.

The major function of the Cooperative Extension Service, as stated in the Smith^jever Act, is:

**. . .To aid in discussing among the people of the United States useful and practical Information on

aui^ects - relating, to. .. agrlT

culture and home economics, and to encourage the application of the same. ."

This broad charter clearly Identifies extensions funct! o n as education. This is not education in the abstract, but education for action. It is education of an Informal and. distinct type. It is education directed toward helping people solve the

The objectives or the home economics extension pro gram are: to develop people through a broad social, economic and educational program based on their needs: to interpret research and homemaklng information to homemakers to help them in solving their own problems, to promote higher standards to homemaking and family living; to develop leadership and to help people understand their citizenship responsibilities.

Baptist Church Formed In 1905

FARMVILLE Cfarl Beamon, chairman of the board of deacons of the First Baptist Church here, says that the conbregi.Uon <was first organized in 190C with ten charter members.

Among these charter members were Mrs. Annie Perkins who taught in the Farmville schools for about 50 years.

The congregation was first served by Rev. Jesse McCarter and the first sanctuary was completed In 1909.

During the following decades the family church grew rapidly and in 1942 a second sanctuary was built.

Today there are about 300 members in the church.

The Sunday School is J'vided Into seven departments. Each department has from one t ten classes to meet provision foi* all age groups in the church.

There is also a Womans Missionary Union and a Mens Brotherhood.

The church sponsors as annual Summer Bible School and supports courses on foreign missions and other areas of church school curriculuxm

FARMVILLE - Were just a pait of a big picture as we fit into a normal growth pattern, and thats the way it should be, says Thomas E. Anderson, manager of North State Garment Co. here.

Since we hire mostly women our payroll tends to show up the next day in this comminity ai the women buy foodstuffs, clothing and household supplies.

He went on to comment that,

The area itself is awake to the fact that it must balance its agrarian economy as a good job has been done here toward diversification.

Queried on who was responsible for this, Anders(Mi replied that the credit really goes to a lot of people who represent a sizeable part of the population here.

Anderson noted that more garment industries will come into the area and into Southeastern United States as transportation improves. We need direct overnight truck seiwice to Northern markets. he continued.

Anderson founded the North State Garment Company in February of 1960 with Elton L. Palmer of Clarkton. Since then the clothing manufacturing plant has grown to e.nploy about 240 people on an annual payroll of abopt $650,000.

Anderson commented that one of the reasons his firm is able to continue its high production

process of increasing its building fund to finance a planned education building to be built in the future.

Una of products. The plant produces alicks for ladies, men. boys and children.

When the business was staried five years ago Anderaon employ ed 18 people. Today there is an annual production caj^ity of 135,000 dozen slacks.

The plant occupies 20,000 square feet in the building here and uses another 7,500 square feet in Hookerton. These plants hire all local people except for the two owners. The production manager at Farmville is Tom Brown and Bryant Croon manages the Hookerton operation.

Anderson, a Lexington. Ky.. native, graduated from the Henry Clay High School in Lexitigtwi prior to continuing his education at the University of Kentucky where he earned a BS degree in Mathematics.

His experience includes work with the Cduden Manufacturing Company of Lexington. Ky., the C. B. C(HiU8 Manufact u r i n g Company in Lynchburg, Va.. and the Ifarry Long Manufacturing Company of Des Moines, Iowa.

In Farmville he has served as president and vice-president of the Kiwante Club.

He married Louise P. Anderson and is the father of three children.

Redevelopment Commission Maps Greenville's Urban Renewal Work

\ I

COMMISSION IN ACTION : . . W. F. Clark (standing) goas ovar projact prograst at i raeanf Radaval^mant Commission maating as (from laft to right) J. C. Lamm, Cavendish, Alvin Taylor, press raprasantativa; Col. Dubbar, Chairman Johnson and Dixie McOlohon look on. Commissioners Moseiy and Parkins are not present.

On May 2, 1961, the citizens of Greenville, in a public referenda. approved Urban Renewal and Public Housing for the City of Greenville, thus opening the way for redevelopment of t h e Shore Drive area and possibly other blighted areas within the city.

The tool for this work, however has been in operatlwi for more than a year, when Mayor S. Eugene West, in his first term in office established the. Redevelopment Commission of Greenville.

Early Commisshm

Mayor West, in establishing the Commission in December, 1958, did so at the recommendation of the citys Planning and Zoning Commission after a study along the shore of the Tar River.

After its establishment, the Commission went into an immediate study of the area, which borders the Tar and extends to portions of Fourth, Third and Second Streets. It is bordered on the west by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and on the east by Skinners Ravine.

In the Pall of I960, still ki its study, the Commission hired as its director, W. I. Cochran Jr. During the course of the continuing study, it was determined that some sort of public housing would be required if the area was cleared.

Each family, individual and business in the project area would have to be relocated and housing for them was not available.

The prospect of public housing spurred opposition and as an answer, the City Council ordered that the public referenda be held at the same time as the I city elections.

' IVfayor West, one of the strongest advocates of the redevelopment, was defeated in that election by Charles M. King, by a margin of 23 votes.

Resounding Mandate

Though Mayor King had pledged to support the programs if they were approved. Redevelopment saw little progress in the next two years.

Inaction on the part of the city council and mayor kept the commission from doing its work properly. In addition, opponents of the program launched aa all out attack on Urban Renewal and Public Housing in the ensuing mtmths.

The conflict was not resolved until 1963 when Mayor West made a smashing come - back victory to the Mayors Office. The entire city council elected that year was favorable to the pn^rams, thus giving Urban Renewal and Public Housing a resounding mandate to go along with the 1961 approval.

Commission Personnel

In 1958, Mayor West appointed M.E. Cavendish, P. Badger Johnson. J. Dixie McGlohon, J. H. Rose and Howard Hodges Jr. to the Commission.

Today the commission remains in tact except Bancroft Moseiy was appointed to replace Rose and J. J. Perkins replaced Howard Hodges.

Cochran resigned as director in 1%2 and Co.. A E Dubber, USMC - Retired was hired to succeed him in November of that year.

W. F. Clark, a Williamston native and formerly with the Commercial Credit Corporation, was hired in August 1963 as project manager and relocation supervi. sor for the Commission. The following November, J. C. Lamm of Lucarna In Wilson County was hired as assistant director and controller for the Commission.

Warren Barnes, a former agricultural extension service employe here, was hired to work in relocating the people in the area.

Project Work

Ri a redevelopmest pro j e c t

such as the Shore Drive project here, the Redevelopment Commission purchases the land and buildings in the project at a fair price to all.

This price is derived from at least two appraisals of the property by private appraisers. If the price of the two appraisals are not within 15 per cent of each other, a third appraisal is required.

When a parcel of land te purchased, the family living there is Immediately taken into the relocation supervisors workload.

Through this man, the family is relocated either on his own or through the help of the supervisor and the Redevelop m e n t Commission even pays for the moving.

In many cases, persons who qualify for public housing which is now under crastruction in Greenville, that particular individual or family will be temporarily moved until the public housing complete.

After all the land in the project area k. obtained and all structures demolished, the land will be cleared for resale. When it is resold, it will be done by bids.

Greenvilles Shore Drive area Is planned as an extension of the citys business district and it is hoped that it will supply Greenville with a downtown motel and restaurant, multi - family apartments, a town common park, boat facilities on the Tar In addition for land for further business expansion.

The Project at Present

As of January, 1965, the Redevelopment Commission has purchased or has an option to purchase 19 per cent of the 57-acre project. There are 159 parcels in the area and 23 have been purchased with options held on another seven parcels.

This property purchased Includes 25 per cent of the total land area within the project.

There are 34 structures on

these 23 parcels that have been obtained by the commission. One has been moved and 10 have been demolished.

There are two houses that art vacant and are to be demolished and one is occupied by the CommlssUm for its offices. Twwi. ty of the houses are under management of the commission.

The Shore Drive project includes 170 families, 54 individuals asd 11 businesses, all of which have to be located.

There are 20 of these families hi the present woikload. The Commission is working now to get these people relocated at the same time they are proceeding to obtain more land.

The project completicm date for Shore Drive is September, 1967. However, Col. D u b b e r, Commissicn director, says that the Urban Renewal Administra^ tion has said that It will take longer.

Originally set up as a four year project, the URA has learn, ed through experience that a project of this type take eight years.

Commission Fnture

Completion of the Shore Drive Redevelopment project will not mean the end of the Redevelopment Commission of Greenville. It will seem more like the beginning.

Already, by order of the City

Council, the Commission has embarked on a review and planning study of a project named Newtown. This will involve redevelopment of approximately 16 acres of blighted residential section in South Greenville.

Also a 10-year study program has been approved for the rehabilitation of 440-acre mid - city project. This will probably not hiclude clearance as the Shore Drive and Newtown projects, but a complete study of the heart of the city and rehabilitation of the area.Greenville Rotary Club One Of The Oldest Civic Groups In The County

The Greenville Rotary Club Number 565 is one of the oldest civic organizations in Pitt County. Its history dates back more than 45 years.

Chartered on December 18, 1919, the sixth Rotary Club formed in North Carolina, Number 565 was the realization of an Idea which grew from a conversation by four Greenville businessmen in the summer of that year.

The four, J.B. Kittrell, Dave Clark, Alex Blow, and Paul Clod-felter, launched the operat i o n with the help of the Wil s o n Rotary, itself only recently organized, and wrhin a short time, the four became 22 the number of charter members of the club. ^

From the start this ne\ club, dedicated to the propositi o n that He profits most who serves best, showed remarka b 1 e progress.

Only a few months later, 16 members from the new club attended a District Rotary Conference in Greenville, S. C., and walked off with the ttendance prize.

Since that not inglorious beginning, the Greenville Rotary has grown from a membership of 22 to its present enrollment of 88. It has had 44 presidents, one of whom Kittrell served two one-year terms.

It has the dlstlnctlcm of being the first Rotary Club to have built its own club building. The two - otory brick building, still In regular use by the club and other organizations'as well, was constructed at a cost of 120,000 In 1020.

Club meetings are held every Monday evening at which a dinner, hearty fellowship, entertainment, and business sessions are featured.

Projects of the club are nuro-eroua and varied. .They include such worthwhile actlvtties as 90Qsorship of Camp Hardy, a tinnner camp for Girl Scouts; service to the\ Boy and Girl oouU and Sea\ Scouts; sponsors' of ss^Oribopedle Clinle,

which became a permanent project as far back as 1940; and many others.

The Greenville Rotary began a student Lan fund by donations and fines of members for late arrival at meetings. It has proved of great help to deserving students in aiding them to continue their educations at ECC.

Christmas baskets are prepared each year for distribution to the needy; and the club building itself has become a sort of community house, serving tor meetings of other civic clubs, and as one of the citys eight voting precincts.

The local Rotarians have served the community in these and many other way., since their organization in 1919. Howard J. McGinnis, a long - time resident of Greenville, former registrar at ECC, past president and sec

retary of the club, and Its historian, wrote of the organization:

The Greenville Rotary dub Is noted for the warmth and cordiality of Its fellowship and the hearty handclasp given to visitors.

In 1955 McGinnis wrote, In a book presenting a brief history of the club on the Golden Anniversary of Rotary International;

Time, fate and their own zeal for Rotary has given the dub and its present members the pleasure of greeting five of the original 22 c^'\rter members each Mond^iy evening by his given or nickname as we assemble for the regular weekly meeting. Their enthusiasm, wisdom and counsel continues to give strength to the dub. They furnish the newer members exam

ples (rf what a good Roiarian should be and do.

Those five members wer

Ernest Willard, J.B. Kittrell, Haywood Dail. Jasper Winslow, and Lawrence Stroud. One of them, Kittrell. is ^111 living and is still an active and faithful member of the Greenville Rotary Club.

Currei.t officers of the club ; are Dan Calloway, president;

Exciting Pages In Area's Growth

By iSeiietor Sm J. Ervin Jr.

The progress of any area and Its people is an exciting story aith many chapters, often built upon adversity, but always representing the hopes and dreams of a dedicated citizenry. Such is the story of Eastern North Carolina. '

It be-ian in the romantic era of Sir Walter Raleigh who more^ than .180 years ago outfitted the expeditions that planted the seeds of a new State and Nation. In so doing, a heritage was founded which has as its moving foro-es a fierce determination to conquer the uiilcrown anl to live life as free men and women, centuries later the 'Lo-st Colony still ranks as one of the greate.st tributes to these princlple.s that the English speaking peoples have ever known.

From these first efforts and the efforts of thousands of other first settlers. progre.ss began to branch out in the tilling the soil, the building of roads, the education of children, and use of abundant natural resources.

By reason (rf climate and soil the area has always devoted its major energies to agriculture. Its

cotton.

. the major produchig areas of the State arc, of course, in the Eastern counties.

Coastal North Carolina has an Important segment of its economy devoted to commercial fishing. The annual catch amounts to neaily 30 million pounds annually on the commercial ma^ ket. In forestry. North Cai'ollna ranks as the lai-gcst lumber producing State in the South, and a great segment of tWs Industry is in our Eastern counties.

Since Colonial days, water resources have loomed large in the progress of Elastem North Carolina. Access to the sea. and its harbors built the first towns along our coastal regions. Equally important to the welfare of the region has been and will continue to be a quality network of good roads and highw'ays Unking the people with markets and service and cultural establishments.

Today the development of a vital economy Is dependent on balanced progress in all of these areas......

The role of government has be. come Increasingly important in the day to day affairs of aU of our citizens. This is so because of the complexities of the age in

The American Legion Auxiliary. which is the largest patriotic organization of women in the world, was started in 1919.

The purpose of the auxillai'y is aiding the American Legion In carrying out the program of peacetime service to America, to which the American Legion is dedicated.

One of its mayor activities la caring for disabled veterans who are hospitalized. Assistance is given to widows of veterans and wives of disabled veterans to help in keeping the families together. The child welfare program Is built on the pledge to carry out the slogan of the auxiliary. A square deal for every child.

About three years ago the company also began to deal in local real estate.

the philosophy which surrounds much of our thinking.

The agricultural community Is dependent on access to the markets. for profitable operation. For this reason,North Carolina tobacco producing farmers have much to gain or lose in the current round of international trade negotiations being conducted by the United States and the European Common Market. Other agricultural problems arise in respect to flue-cured tobacco because of the vast oversupply on hand at this time, and because of the Surgeon Generals war on cigarette smoking. Congress has become watchful over the whole farm price support program. Any changes in the Federal farm program would, of course, be keenly felt by the farm-oriented communities. It is certain that the farm legislation will require the best efforts of the North Carolina Congressional delegation in the years ahead.

In the field of water resources, each year Congressional hearings are conducted which spell out the water projects for the next fiscal year. In recent years, much progress has been made in the development of East e r n North Carolina through the dredging of harbors, the building cf dams, and the harnessing of rivers that formerly flooded each spring. This progress is ex. pected to caxtlnue through the attentive efforts of our Congressional delegation.

The development of good roads remains principally a State function, but it is aided in many areas by the Federal aid to States for interstate highways.

The molding force for all of these areas of progress has been and will continue to be a devotion to the cause of educat ion. This is a North Carolina tradition. Eastern Carolina can take special, pride in the rapid strides being made by the college named for the^ area and located in Greenville. There are other examples of excellence in college instruction at modern institutions. in the area. It again typifies the spirit of the first .settlers who. sought to conquer the unknovTi and to obtain the be.st means of copkig with their environment.

Such too is the spirit of the Research Triangle as It draws upon the resource talents of many dedicated men and women and the great institutions of leamlng at Chapel Hill, Durham, and Ra-

' leiglT.

North Carolina and Its East-ero cdunties has a'heritage un surpassed In the Nation. The talents of its people must now be continued along the paths that i have carried it forward a.s free men and women In a world of

ties, with all of their Changing 'requirements and problems.

Seen Much Change

By JOHN C. DUNCAN The first overlMtl tiaosporta-tfon in what Is now Fitt COunty, was done hy Indiana on foot carrying something on their backs to swap with other Indians. For how many years this went on will never be known.

Water transportation r whatever was done by the redman, was carried on by use of canoes on the river and streams.

The first mention of the horse In the area w'as when Lawson and Dr Grafieni-cd made their fateful trip up the Ncuse in 1722:

The first white man in the area - settled on the river and streams leading to the rivers.

All the small paths hacked out of the woods led to these settlements on the streams. To carry the products of fields and woodlandis, the settler used various crafts for- transporta t i o n purposes.

These were canoes, small row boats. plrcues and sloops. Rowboats were used in shallow water and when the weather was calm and distances short. Canoes fell into two classes:

large*' and small.**

Large canoes were paddled and also equipped with sails. They were used on lai'ge bodies of water as rivers and sound.

One of the most useful craft of the Colonial era was the pi-

roRuer. . . . . ^ i

The plroguer was made of hol-lowed-out trees. Two of- them were fastened together and were equipped with sails. They could can*y large amounts of freight and could navigate in shallow w*a-ter where such vessels as the sloops couldnt go. Merchants

and tiadcrs made good use of

them.

When Blackbcaitl made his famous trip from Ocracoke Inlet to Tobias Knights house at Bathtown. he used a plroguer.

Sloops were used on the sounds and rivers. These vessels were light, small and fast.

Only the wealthy could own a sloop, so most of the transportation was done in canoes, pi-roguers. etc.

Flatboats

As time wore on the settlers and planters along the Tar made

Prepshirt Plant Operations Have Mushroomed In Past Two Years

use of the (iatboaU.

These laige rafts were sometime equipped with cabins so the planter could ride to market In easy fashion.

As this type craft was too cumbersome to be brought back up river, they were sold as timber after unloading at their des-, ttnations. "

Many of the houses and stores that were built at Washington no doubt were constructed of timber that came down river as part of a flat.

John Gray Blount, merchant of Washington and Benjamin Atkinson of Bensboro In Pitt County, made extensive use of the flat-boats in their business deals.

For many yeais the flats would float down the Tar. Even after steamers came into use, they were still used.

During the dvU War, Yankee prisoners were rafted down to Washington for exchange.

While the flatboats ^ and other river craft on that day were used mainly for carrying freight, passengers at times rode on them. '

Back from the streams, people got to places afoot, on horseback or in carts.

Between large inland places, stage lines carried both freight and passengers, ~ and for quite sometime, these ways of getting from one place to another would cwitlnue.

1800 and On

Even in the early 1800s, these methods of transportation continued -.1 this area. The first ventures of steamboating on the Tar were failures.

Before the steamboats took over the task of freight hauling, large drays hauled goods from Greenville to Tarboro.

Just before the Civil War, the river steamers were playing an important part in the commerce of the area.

They went up river to Tarboro and on the return picked up freight and passengers at landings that dotted the river from Tarboro to Washington.

The war brought to an end the flurry in the field of transportation.

People of the county took up

Albemarle-IUleiih Railroad, that came through town.

For quite sometime, the railroad which had slowly replaced the riverboat as the countys main carriers, would be king.

But as soon as automobiles became plentiful and roads were Improved, people no Iwiger depended on trains to go frwn one place to another. Then too, big trucks began to cut In on freight hauling, and it seemed at one time that the trains would soon go the way,of the rlverboats and become only parts of the past.

And So

Duiing the 1940's and 1950s. the car and trucks really took over.

Many places now had access to larger towns and cities via the concrete and asphalt highways.

Alm(t every faniily had a car

and^anyt raveling from county to town or town to town was dons in this vehicle. Big trucks thundered down the hlghwaya and ways. They hauled everything from bread to cars for dealers; They carried logs for the mill and ready mixed concrete for the builder.

Now

But as the year of 1965 dawns, we find the railroads still an Important factor in county transportation. Although they don't haul passengers, much freight is carried.

Swift modern diesels mo v e across the countyslde with long lines of cars strung out behind them.

Many truckllnes come Into the county and bring and take away much freight.

Buses going to almost every compass point hurry down coun

ty roads (o diittani plaees eiF rylnf paaaanftrs.

It haa been a long haul alnei the day of ihs horw. the plroquei, the aloop, ^ flal* boat, and the old river boaU.

And to our way of thinking, they seem very crude when c^-pared with modem transportation. But they served their purpose and helped build the county to what It Is today.

For In the two hundred and

five years that have pehaed alnct Wtt was formed, many have taken place, and In the next such period of time to ooun^ history, many more will takn place. For to thoee of the county in 2170 A.D. our metne of transportation will seem QUite crudi alsor^and our trains, motor cars, trucks and fiat Jeta antiquated as the old flatw and river steamers.

During the thirty-five years that lay between wars end and the turn of the century, much would change in the field of transportation.

Most of this time would find the river the main highway and the riverboat king.

But there was a great change coming. No longer would the people of Pitt depend almost entirely on the river and the steamers for the hauling of freight and passengers.

The change started In 1882, when the small crossroads town of Bethel began to feel the effects of the branch line of the

Along with tbo Utte o( City utkUif iBfPfctor fO g Bum-

bor o vtrying dutli rom coiv denuiing unMio md unfit gtruo-tures to Inspecting plumtnng and heating Installatlonf.

J.W. WUson, who hesds the Building Inspector's office sum* med up the job by saying the office operates to protect eity dwellers by seeing that new construction and alterations conform to building codes and that dwellings and oommerclal buUd-Inge meet minimum health and safety standards.

One of the best known activities of the department is the le-suing of building permits. Permits are required for new construction as well as t(v adding to or repairing present structures within the city limits.

Once the permit Is Issued, the citys Inspectors check periodically to see that the work being done complies with existing city and state building codes, thereby Insuring the building owners that the work at least meets the minimum standards.

Ings can be built there, a docen dwellings have been condemned.

The Newtown area vividly polnte up the health aepect of building Inepectors actlvHlee. &i the area seven active caeee of tuberculosis were on record In a two-block area. And sis of the dwellings condemned in the area were cloeed at one time because of the lack of properly operating sanitary sewer aya-tems.

Wilson pointed out that on aev. eral of the dwellings sewer Unes on the outside of the houses were broken, allowing sewage to flow through the yards and into the stretU.

Wilson, saying the City "very reluctant to take peoplo to court," explained that city officials make every effort to "work toward taking care of any particular situation without

court action first/'

Hi addod that wbetbor the job required .court action or not. the inspectors are simply, "just do> ing a job someone has to do/' and trying to do It, "with dignity and honor and do it right."

By Inspecting work going into new buildings and into the repairing and altering of older structures, the owner is protected to the extent that he knows the work meete at least the minimum standards. And too. other property owners art protected when the Inspector vqieec hla approval because they have

been assured the building Is

safe, sanitary and meets the

other requirements as set forth in the city and state building codes.

CONDfMNID DWELLING . . . found to bo a hoalth and safoty haxard by Inspoctora It in procoM of boing ro-movod. lullding Intpoctor J. W. Wilson views progross.

The office also inspects plumbing and heating installations in naw construction as well as In instances where additions or al-terationa are being made, Here again by official inspection, the property owner is assured he Is receiving at least a job that will meet the minimum standards for the type of work being done.

Permits for plumbing and heating work are now issued by the city clerks office.

And where plumbing Inspections are concerned, the dty limit line Is no barrier for Inspectors If the dwelling or commercial building Is connected to the city water system or city aew^. system. If the structure Is connected to the city water distribution system the plumbing and sewer system must meat the same requirements as if It were within the city boundry.

The only change in the requirements for out-(rf-clty dwelV ers using a city water supply 1 that they are not required to purchase city permits.

A lesser known function of the building inspector until public attention is focused upon it by a news story relating the fact, is inspecting buildings for health and safety hazards. . . .and the related condemnation of structures fallkig to meet these baalc standards.

Since the first of the fiscal year alone, over 14 structures, most of them dwelling units, have been condemned in Greenville because they failed to meet the mkilmum standards as related to the health and aaiety of the occupants.

Most Of

City Streets Are Being Constantly

Paved

Pushed

In the year 1964, the city of Greenville annexed Into its corporate limits 146,06 acres of new ^property, or .258 square mile. L .nglng the total area of the city by December 31 to 5,441.92 acres, or 8.503 square miles. .Within that large area, tying It all together and providing those vital lines of transportation and communication, run 88.28 miles of city streets, and 2.5.25 miles of state highways.

Less than 24 miles of, those streets are at this moment un-paved. And that, according to Public Works Director C. K. Beatty, is better than average among cities in Eastern North Carolina.

Work Continues

Work on the city streets is a continuous rocess. Crews from the Public Works Department can be seen in various parts of the city every day paving, re

pairing, curbing and guttering, and steadily improving and adding to the mileage of paved streets in the city.

During 1964, Greenville spent $65,513.76 on paving, patching and strip ork, and curbing and guttering. Some 34,238 square yards of streets were paved.

Thirteen paving projects, covering 23,078 square yards of street, were completed: and 24,942 feet of curbl' g and guttering work In 23 projects was done last year.

Projects Underlay

At present, several large projects are under way in the city. Most noteworthy Is the South Pitt Street Project, begun several months ago, which on completion will have covered more than a mile of that street with paving and curbing and guttering. "This Is an awfully big project," Beatty commented.

Another project, not yet completed, is the widening and resurfacing of Evans Street just beyond Five Points in front of Sheppard Memorial Library.

These, plus other, smaller projects all of which contribute greatly to the citys looks and convenience, are under way now. More will come w'hen they are completed, and still more after that.

Plans Indefinite

The future? Plans for immediate paving projects are still not complete, but the city government is well aware of the needs of the city and works constantly to provide for them. It Is a process made slow by its complexity, expense and scope. But the steps are being taken one at a time.

Harry Hagerty, Greenvilles City Manager, looks forward to the day when Greenville will

have more miles of paved streets than any city in the eastern part of the state. He Is en-thusiaftic about the work being done, the plans being made, and the potential of the city.

Beatty says, "I would like to see all the streets paved. Though not likely to be achieved for some years (Beatty says It would be the realization of a Utopia), it is an outlook which can do nothing but help to push the city on, however slowly, toward that goal.

We are on the way. Beatty adds, and we hope for a gooid year in 1965.

SYSTEM REVISED

In painting and marking the city streets this year, there was a total of 238 gallons of paint used. New signs erected totaled 214.

Scotts statewide total was 83,315 to F anklins 31,618.

Pitt went Democrat in 1856, by a count of 73? to 577. Buchanan got 42,487 to Pilmores 29.-573 votes statewide in that elec-ti(M1.

When the^century turned the Republicans were still in office and would ar November of that 3^ar return McKinley to the Presidency.

Bryan got 3,264 Pitt votes and McKinley 2,156. Bryan also won statewide by a score of 137.733 to McKinleys 132.997.

McKinley was assas^ated and Teddy Roosevelt took office.

In 1904 running for office in his own rig' : Teddy Roosevelt lost in N. C. by a vote of 124,-121 to 42,442. Pitt went Democrat in a big way. giving Alton Parker 2.329 to Teddys 429.

same story. Democrat again, Cox got 305.447 and Harding 232.848. Pitt gave Cox 4.196 to 864,

Harding died in office and Silent Cal took over the task of leading the nation.

In 1924, CooUdge sought a te>m of his own and was successful.

If tht country hadnt been at war when the 1944 elections came around the results might have been different. But it was Roosevelt once more, this time beating Th' s Dewey-nationwide, statewide, and countywide.

The N. C. score was Roosevelt 527.399 to Deweys 263.155.

1948

BETHEL Pitt County's second rescue unit came Into being following a meeting n the Bethel town board on December 1, 1959. , V

The commissioners aW>roved the venture after a delegation , appeared to describe the need for such-an additional emergency unit which would boster the veteran city and rural fire fighting organizations.

Bethel is unique In the fact that both Its fire and rescue operations are conducted into parts of three counties. Bethel serves parts of Pitt - Martin and Edgecombe counties.

, By ROY HARDEE

Ovar a abort span of 1ms than flvt ysars. a. rural firs protoc-tlon program has been developed in Pitt County which now pro-vidM firs protection for nearly 85 per csnt of tbs total popular tl(m.

Such waa not ths case Just a few years ago. Prior to the surge in the community fire departments on a rural level with few exceptions, firs fighting came solely from tbs city departments and on a bit and miss basis. Only a few of the city departments were equipped for rural fire fighting.

While the cities were glad where possible to help their rural neighbors when In need, soon it became apparent that only by local community action was a superior type of (ire protection program going to be developed. This meant that local business and property owners were going to have to band together and form a community fire department designed to meet the needs of the people living within a set area.

WlnterviUe, Bethel, Ayden, and ParmvlUe years before had developed combination city rural departments with separate trucks for each operation, '^is was a great help to the ymm which provided malntenapb^, hous I n g and some other aslatance since the town obtained the use of a second truck with very little cost. The rural areas benefltted since often times the city units wcmld be pressed Into service on sec-wid calls or extreme cases where a second truck was needed to halt a serious fire.

Soon the citizens of the Staton-House area- announced plans for a rural department. The urgency was clear In their minds since Just days before a large j rural home had' burned to the | ground because there was no fire j fighting equipment within the: area. ' . I

Other Departments From that spark, across alii sections of the county, the driv- i Ing force was unleashed and soon i departments were formed In Eastern Pines, Grlmesland, Pac-tolus, Carolina Tovmshlp, Falkland, Red Oak, Simpson, Bell Arthur and Fountain.

Barbecue suppers, raffles, turkey shoots, you name It and if it could raiM maney, then It was held somewhere In Pitt County. Funds in some areas came slow, in others xvlth very little difficulty.

Each area developed Its own method of raising funds. Some placed a value on any building the size of a tobacco bam and larger*and this was the property owners Joining fee. Some did this and also made an annual assessment (rf fees. It all depended on the area and how best the officers of the associations thought money could be best raised.

Trucks and equipment ranged

from home made equipment with portable pump# to custom made equipment in all slzef and makes. They were all designed to do one Job, however, and that was to put out fires.

That Job was and is being carried out in a successfuf manner.

Soon it became apparent that there was a great need to ban together Into an association with mutual aims and goals to further the rapidly expanding fire department operation within Pitt County.

It was In 1061 In WlntervUle that a group of firemen trmn the organized fire departments met and decided to form the Pitt Firemen's Association. Invitations were sent to all departments which were or In the process of forming to attend the or-

ganhsatSonal meeting.

Response was swift and good. The Associatkm became a reality with Delton E. Perry of Bethel elected as the Associations fire president.

Additional strength puehed the ioals of the association and more and better departments were being operated. Training sessions were conducted and more effective fire fighting was the results. Public supfXHt for the Association was mount 1 n g with fire that the volun

teer fire fighters fought.

Committees from the Pitt Firemens Association began to appear before the commissioner of Pitt County asking for support of the county (rf the Infant fire association and Its member departments. At first the pleas

for funds feQ on deaf ears. Tbs Commissioners assured the in^bers that they were pleased with the development of the rural departments but could not at that time find the funds to support it ss requested.

However the Association continued Its plea. The commission then appointed a rural fire study committee to outline the needs of the county for the fire protection of the citizens of the county. That committee reported a need for fnanClal assistance of at least $1/K)0 per organized fire department, county radio system, a central fire alarm system, a full time paid fire marshal with office staff, a training center for the firemen and related equipment. The program was recommended to be carried

out over a period of flvt years and would bavs cost around $100,-000 over the five year period.

Since that time the commis-slmiers have made funds available to the members in the amounts ^of $600 and In 1064-85 for $800. Fire officials have told the commissioners that tbs amount Is way below the needed amounts for a successful opera-Hon. Many departments still owe large debts on '.heir equipment and until these sums ar% cleared up. cannot add additional equipment and trucks that they need.

There ar more than 400 firemen across the county who fight rural fires around the clock and on a seven day a esll.

Griffon Library Now 6 Years Old

ORIFTON A six-year-old public library here has seen a general Increase in Its services to the community as the book collection gradually grew to more than 5,000 volumes.

There were 1,400 volumes when the library opened In 1959.

At the time there were many days when circulation was only about 20 books, reported librarian Mrs. Hazel Bright. Now circulation ranges from 50 to 1^ books each day.

In addition to Its own books, the library here also draws on the resources of the State Library In Raleigh and the Sheppard Memorial Library In Green-vUle.

The bookmobile from the Sheppard Memorial Library makes two stops each month to exchange books and records at the local facility.

The present library la housed In a one-room cement block structure on Pitt **reet here. It is open from 2 to 5 p. m. each wekday to serve visitors who are primarily children who stop by after school hours' in ^hc afternoon.

Mrs. Bright said that a number of older students use the library for a pla<ie to study.

Queried about the adult readers and circulation, Mrs. Bright replied that this part of the library's services are also growing. Adults use the library more for do-it-yourself project books such as on TV repair, she said.

She also noted a growing popularity in mystery and western novels. ^

"The people fpom DuPont are avid readers and have had a slg-nificsmt role In the rise In circulation here, Mrs. Bright noted. Began in 1%9

Interest In a library for Grlf-

ton spread during the Fan of 1950 when a group of citizens established a temporary library In a flower shop owned by Mrs. Gladys Bume>. After that building space was needed and a library cmnmittee was established to raise funds to finance a new building.

Land for the library site was given by Mrs. M, Harvey Nelson and Mrs. Jean Harvey Williams In memory of their husbands.

A fund raising drive to pay construction costs cleared the project 0 liability and debt before the property deed was turned over to the town.

Volunteer labor supplemented the work of building and preparing the structure for operation, and all library workers were volunteers until July of 1960 when Mrs. Gladys Burney became the flrst paid librarian here.

In February of 1961 Mrs. Bright succeeded her In the work. Supported primarily by town allocations, several civic groups here have also provided funds to supplement the collection with reference bo<As.

Walter Murphey serves as tiie official liaison Tlth the town board and the library committee includes Walter A. Lyerly, Mrs. W. 1. Blssetto and Dtv Bosley.

HOW TO RND IT . . . Mm,. Hazel Bright, librarian of tha Crifton library, explains how to bcate books accordmg to the lt)ewey Decimal System to school children who frequently use the library for additional referenca material In thair study.Ayden Demonstrates Quality School Interest

AYDEN An unusually friendly and close knit student body In the high school here benefits from the keen Interest of the community In providing its children with quality education.

Indicative of the schools effort to maintain such quality is Its full accrediatlon In the Southern Association, the highest accrediting agency In the South.

During the last year Principal Edward W.rren saw the school undergo successful re-ev-aluatlon. Im a firm believer that we should strive to stay In the association. he said. We requested th? re-evaluatlon last year Just to see if we continued to meet standards.

First such accrediatlon here was made In the early 1950s.

Warren pointed out that between 65 and 70 per cent of the Ayden High School students continue their studies In college.

Moreover. Weve had one student each year attend the annual governors school in Winston-Salem, he noted.

In addition, last years graduates won 17 scholarships from colleges, churches and civic clubs.

The student body here has seengradual growth that Warren attributes to the increase in county population that results from an Influx of Industry coupled with the growth In Ayden as a residential-type community.

Three years ago there were 215 pupils In the school and now there are 260 enrolled In the system.

Keen Conuniinity Interest ' Warren noted that his students have benefited from an unusually high community Interest In the school here. He cited the efforts of a local dropout committee as

an indicator of how citizens showed they really cared about stu-, dents.

Last year the dropout rate here was below two per cent.

Warren went on to say that the PTA and local boosters club have been very active in supporting the school. The boosters club here last year provided $5.-000 for a new activity bus for the high school.

In describing curriculum developments here l^arren noted that in the vocational area we have changed over to agricultural science and mechanics with emphasis on farm management and production. This Is to meet developing needs of the area and fit changing trends, he explained.

In mathematics there Is a new advanced class using a modem approach to the field and last fall the school undertook a work

shop In which elementary teachers could learn the new approach.

Brenda D. Rivenbark, a 1964 Wake Forest graduate teaching her first year advises other teachers In the Ayden system on the new math.

Enhances Insights She explained that the newly developed math program Is designed to provide deeper Insight Into mathematical principles, and form a stronger foundation for working with numbers.

Her work Involves developing concepts In set theory, binary math and other more sophlscat-ed systems useful In modem electronic computers.

In the areas of English. Mrs. C.C. Little emphasized that In addition to the basic four years of English Instmctlon in composition, grammar and literature, there are courses available in

PHYSICAL EDUCATION A gfouj of high school boys lotrn rudimontt of batkofboll during a cUtt In tho Aydon High Schoni

advanced composition, speech and drama. The overall program is to teach students to think logically, read intelligently and communicate effectively, Mrs. Little said.

We are working with the newest trends to correlate grammar with all other subjects, she noted. We work to help studerlts see relationships between these skills and the world theyiUve in,

Warren "emphasized that the dramatics program under direction of Douglas Mitchell, who is also the guidance director here, has directed an Improvement In the cultural atmosphere for the school and community. More than 500 students and citizens came to our Fall production, Warren pointed out.

He' attributed much of this In

terest as a result of the devel-opinent of the East Carolina College Summer Theater In Green-vUle.

New Addltioiis

We now have a full-time guidance director and try to guide students In relation to their Individual ability, Interests and needs. The program here Is carried out through personal conferences, testing and Interpretation of the test results, Warren explained. Assistance In this work comes from the Pitt County Guidance program.

The school Is adding a complete new science laboratory to supplement the existing laboratory and at the same time Is trying to provide more laboratory work in smaller classes In the science program.

In the business department new machines here go along with other changes In the program, and the current two-yet Fre n c h course will eventually be extended to four years. Moreover, the addition of another language Is planned.

Expand Library Services Warren reported that there was an Increasing emphasis In the development of an active library program around which scho o 1 programs functl(Mi. The school now has a full-time librarian.

In addition, the school works closely with the Ayden Public library, the Sheiwaitl Memorial Library In Greenville and draws from East Carolina College Library resources. It also makes use of extension library serrioe

from the University of North Qu'oUna In Chapel Hill.

For the physical fitness program there has been a complete rennovatlon of gym facilities and the school plans to move with the current trend to offer physical education courses every year.

Thomas Lewis, who also handles the city recreation program. is the physical educatloo director.

Warren noted that there are about 70 students participating In varsity football and 50 in the basketball program this year.

We carry any student on a team who wants to actively pai> Uclpate In the efforts. he said. This sort of thing helps a t dent feel he bel(ga lo tha school.**

AYDEN - The Ayden Methodist Church, founded In 1885, was first served by a circuit preacher who lived in Grimesland and who had the charge of appointments now known as Providence. Salem. Chapmans. Grimeslsnd, Vanoeboro, Aydra m Wlnter-ville.

Thert were between 15 and 20 members at Ayden In 1890.

Between 1900 and 1907 the annual conference divided the charge into the Ayden and Vaneeboro circuit and ki 1996 the church was moved to Its present locaUon at 309 W. Third St, as the congregation continued a gradual growth.

Between 1942 and 1946 the members of the Winterv 11 le Church, which was still on the Ayden charge, petitioned to move their membership to Ayden and close the Wkitervllle Church building. v In 1963 a building committee was appointed by the quarterly conference and the present educational building was .begun soon after.

There are today 465 members in the church served by the Rev. W.D. Caviness.

Rev. Caviness commented that the spiritual atmosiAere of the church Is deepening and the membership Is becoming more closely knit by various methods of revival, visitation programs and a monthly church paper. The Ayden Methodist. which was first published In 1958.

Ht that the church and Sunday School membership has doubled in the last twelve years, and attributed much of ^ t h 1 s growth to the Du Pont* plant near Kinston.

The Sunday School membership this year is 285. There are 35 teachers under the guidance of superintendent Bill Moore.

The church secretary, Wilbur (kmond, reported that the youth groups are functioning at

, full strength and that this year j a youth ixrayer breakfast began to meet every Friday morning at 7 pun.

Two Unique Documents

Part Of Grifton Story

OFIIPTON Two documents preserved In the J. R. Harvey Company ae here comprise a unique part of the town's wm* ten lilstorlcal record.

One Is an old Industrial Issue of the Kinston Free Press pub-ll.shed In 1906. and the other is The History of Orlfton," an eighth grade composition done in 19.'=? by Marian H. Nelson.

The Industrial issue opens Us Gi'ifto'.i section with this turn of tiiP century description:

Surrounded by one of the brfet fniniiiiK .'sections In Eastern North Carolina, eleven uillps fioni Kinston on the Atlantic Cor..st Line, live a thriving peo-pie in the town of Grifton, N.C., where seven hundred and more Inhabitants live In a healthful $:liniate and enjoy an atmosphere of happlnc.ss and morality. The town is supplied with eight public wells driven to an average depth of 192 feet."

The article went on to comment how the town had been accounted an unhealthy location*' where ''citizens lived down on the low-grounds of Contentnca Creek, and drank surface water. T.'i'' result was chills and fever.

Now they have placed their town upon a hill-side, built nice new homes, and dug deep wells."

The result wa.s that the towns only physician, Dr. W. W. Dawson. found It ueccs.sary to cultivate a farm to "relieve himself of 'that tired feeling, and to replenish his depleted exchequer." Especially since "his mo.st ar-doiis duties seem to consist in making it easy for the stork to alight.

Two Churches

The article went on to note that there were two churches here at the time with a combined membership of about 400.

A picture of local commerce during the 1900s is provided with a description of the Atlantic Coast Line railway station here that averaged about a $1,500 monthly business, and shipped approximately "4,000 bales of cotton, 50,000 pounds of tobacco and 2.000 barrels of Irish potatoes in the course of a year! C. E. Gardner is the genial and courteous agent," the article noted.

The principal enterprl.se here was the Grifton Manufactur 1 n g Company that made and repaired buggies, w'agons and farm Implements. The firm employed ten and Its officials Included Leon O. Cox.

Dr, Dawson was president of the company.

Another local industry of the time was the Keene and Kittrcll Lumber Company.

In addition to the railroad, wa

ter transportatlon was available up to the Grifton Dock during I high water season. In the re-malnlng months the waterway, also called Moccasin Rlger, was navigable to a dock seven miles below town.

The artlole noted that a Captain Tillman made two trips a week between here and New Bern with passengers and freight.

Local Anecdotes

To wilte her composition In 1957, Miss Marian Nelson gathered anecdotes from older ciii-zeiis In this and other communities to supplement information taJten from the Kinston publication and other sources.

Some of the sources named in the paper arc Mr.s, Aiinlc B. Lof-tln, a former Grifton resld c u t. Aunt Cora Lovet, the family Bible of C.M.A. Griffin, Mrs. Johnilie Gardner, and the late Mrs. J.R. Harvey.

The paper records an anecdote of the 18J6 Charleston earth-quakc that w'as felt In many east coast states. "People ran out of their houses screaming and praying," the account reads.

"One man was down upon his knees praying, Lord, wc need you now. Doitl-send your. son. You come yourself. We 1 n ' t got time Vo mess with children ; now. ...

Another anecdote jrcorded In ; the paper tells of friglitrncd peo-! pic running out of their homes j at night armed witb guns ,to face wdiat sounded like a crazed wild 1 animal. It was ,a steamboat I churning upriver with a whistle that sounded like a wildcat.

The paper records how a Dr. Loftiu persuaded the railroad to build its line from Kin.ston to Greenville by way of Grifton.

I "That is how Grifton. Ayden,

I Hcnrahans, Littlefield and Win-I tcrville were all opened up to ! the outer world. the paper notes,

I The Grifton and Hcnrahan j families provided free right of way to the railw'ay and in exchange granted free rides to family members. A waving handkerchief would stop the trains.

The first tobacco here was raised by C.M.A. Griffin and that paper notes that "rice was grown in the low places."

The pai>er notes that torches aud candles were the main means of lighting homes. "Aunt Cd^a Lovet remembers holding a (lighted pine knot for people to ^ee to eat their supper by."

Miss Nelson outlined a progression through tin lamps, glass lamps and the arrival of the kerosene lamp. The towns electric plant was built In 1920.Hooker And Buchanan Has Seen Insurance Growth

"Wc have seen a gradual growtli In all lines of Insurance, but especially in commercial Insurance." according to L. M. Buchajian of Hooker and Buchanan. Inc.

This firm deals not only In Insurance but also In real estate In the Greenville and Pitt County area.

It was founded in 1936 by W. E. Hooker, A. B. Stallworth and L. M. Buchanan and two years later was changed to Hooker and Buchanan, Inc.

The firm Is located today at ill Evans St. in Greenville and employs four people on an annual payroll of more than $46,-800.

Buchanan, who is a native of Norfolk. Va.. graduated from the Merry High School in Nor-

, folk and continued his education f both at Virginia Military Acadc-; my and then at the University j of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

Following this he began work-'liig with the insurance business and has remained in that area of busiifess.

He is chairman of Greenville Community Services and is a member of the Pitt County Health A.ssociation and of the Governors Insurance Advisory Board of North Carolina.

He is married to Elizab c t h Higgs Buchanan and Is the fa-i Iher of two children.

Baptized 3,000, Wed 500 Couples

During his ministry the Rev. Josephu.s Latham baptised nearly 3,000 persons and married 5(K> couples. Latham died on April 27. 1889 at the age of sixty.

Latlvam served a.s pastor of a Disciples Church at Farmvllle from 1864 - 1880. He returned as pastor in 1888 and served until his death.

s Students Have Doubled

$ URirrON Ilk tte Uat 4a-t#n4 U)t acbool aystem here bas ^ aaan its student population near-H ly double and its facilities more than double.

Construction alone represents an outlaj^ of about a half-million dollars, said former principal E.B. Bright. He noted that this amount consisted mostly of district monies, but did include some county funds.

In addition to student body and plant growth, curriculum development here has also brought many changes in the last ten years as programs were adjusted to- meet present day needs.

Moreover, about 90 per cent of the teachers in Oriftmi'e schools are now certified on the basis of their Master of Arts decree. Bright said.

Bright cwnmented that while there has been a very rapid growth rate here during the last decade, "it will probably not be as accelerated in the future."

"In 1953 we had about 420 pupils in our high school facilities

and this year there are 750," he pointed out. H.R. Reaves, principal of the elementary school here, said this yee^s enrollment at his school reached 324 from the 130 of 1953

The primary building completed in 1953, marked the first step in recent school expansion. About five years later the gym wu completed and within the next three years the present high school buildings and auditorium were finished.

This year saw completion of a new cafeteria.

On November 5, 1909 two of Greenvilles most promising young lawyers were fatally injured in an automobile accident. They were James L, Fleming and Harry Skinner Jr.

Fleming was killed Instantly and Skinner died a few hours later.

The automobile In which they were riding, in an attempt to pass a wagon swerved off the road (Dickinson Ave) and struck a tree.

Only Woman In Pharmacy Class

Mabel BarnhlH of Bethel township was the only woman In the 1906 class of Pages School of Pharmacy located at Greensboro.

On Nov. t, 1906, she was among the ten members of the class to pass an examination be-loie the flats Board.

Cnrrlculum Changes Blight said that there had been many changes in the Grif-ton School Systems curriculum. He noted in particular the reinstatement of two years of French and the recent addition of a third year in that language.

Queried on why French had been selected,' Bright rep lied that "It is a very popular foreign language here and also there were teachers available for that particular language "We have also added two more social studies courses and two courses in math," he continued. The math courses Include algebra and trigonometry.

In the science department there is new laboratory equipment to go along with upgraded course content, and In the business department courses in business math and shorthand were added to the curriculum.

New equipment in the school Includes a closed circuit ETV system to receive a physical science course fnxn Chapel Hill.

In addition to these Improvements in the curriculum. Bright noted a new driver training course and an art class "that emphasizes participation In the fine arts.'

Early Schools Local historical records here Indicate that an academy, located on the site of the present high school, and the old Gourd-vine School just north of town, were two of Griftons earliest educational facilities.

In the decade just after the turn of the century the GHfton Graded School was housed In an old frame structure with an enrollment of about 125 pupils. W.

Mrs. Holen Bradley dlreclt her French lessons tewerd precticel use of the lenguage

G. Amick was principal during those years.

In the next decade the graded school was made into a high school and in 1918 was moved to its present site. Students traveled to Grifton from Bally, Win-tcrvllle and Lenoir CJounty by horses, buggy and on foot.

By 1927 the states consolidated school program brought about construction of the Contentnea School In Lenoir County. About half of Griftons school population was lost to the new school and in subsequent years the school here experienced a strug

gle to survive.

State officials from Hookerton notified Orlfton officials that if the student body fell below 50, the school would be closed. Efforts by local businessmen in the 1940s to transport nearby Lenoir county students were declared illegal. But Lenoir pupils were permitted to come across the river ^y their own transportation.

Arrival erf the DuPont plant and the new families that came with it finally closed the struggle to subsist and sparked the more recent growth pattern.

The Improvement campaigns here came under direction of Mrs*. Thnrmon Williams ' who headed eonimunlty-wlde efforts that also Involved nearly every town biislne.ssman.

Among the projects which con-trlhiitrd toward winning the contests here were *treet Improve-nient.s, eommunlty beautification, inauguration of garbage collection. purchase of a new fire truck, stoplight Installation, building of a park-recreatlon area, and the .start of a teenage club.

In addition, the town floated bond Issues to finance school con-stinjctlon projects and water and sewage line extensions. More-over, scout troops and commu

nity Mrvlce elubi were organized.

tThese various orgauizat Iona aubsequcnUy undertook fund-rala-tng efforts aimed at financing even more community Improvement projects.

The first award .waa presented to Mrs. Williams In January of 1963 by manager of the Carolina and Light Company Kinston office Jack Howell. Dr. W.E. Ras* berry was mayor at the time.

Howell subsequently presented a second award to Mrs. Williams In the following year, and then gave her a $100.00 check a third year as a smaller award In the contest. ..

After winning that first award the little boom town went all out to capture the award again with renewed incentive as citizens continued their cleaning up, painting, rebiUIding and beautification work.

This time much attention was given to development of a two and one-half acre recreation that Included paved tennis courts, a shelter and picnic tables. Several service clubs raised funds to finance the parks development and members cmitributed much volunteer labor to the project.

Planning for the paik was done with aid of the State Recreation Commission which prepared a topographical survey of the park area.

As Crossroads

AYDEN During tlie 1890 * this primarily residential coni-n unity began eu a crossroad* on land owned by W.H Harris.

Growth here was spurred when the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad laid tracks through the rural village and Incorjloratioa followed In a short time.

The history of this community I* marked with two name changes, Aydentowu and Harrlstown, before the present name was adopted.

Also during the first decade two colleges were established in the community. Carolina Christian College, now Atlantic Christian College in Wilson, was opened In 1893 with 17 students.

Three years later the Free Will Baptist Seminary was established on the site of the present high .school building..

The presence of these two colleges coupled with the * arrival of small industries and agrarian development brought a gradual population growth Iju the 'community. The 1900 census showed 557 residents here.

At the turn of the century the poll tax was $1.50 and the personal property tax was fifty cents on the hundred. J.J. Stoker was mayor.

In l905*Carollna Christian Col

lege moved Its physical plant to WIlsiMi, By that time commercial establishm. nti Included two barber shop*, a dnig store, a Jewelry store and three livery stablas.

The Ayden Graded School had been established under T.H. King and by 1910 population here had reached about 1,-500.

In subsequent decades growth continued here at a cautious pace and the town continued to develop its residential character as the home of area landowners and farmers. In addition, many people who worked In Greenville began to establish homes here.

Hard surfaced roads brought Increased use of the automobile here and also the establishment of the towns first garages to service the new mode of transportation.

In 1959 the town adopted the City Manager plam and named Cleveland M. Paylor to administer community services on a btidget of $251,000. Paylor works closely with Mayor Ross Per-slnger and a five man council.

By last year the town budget had Increased to $396,000 to administer services to a population that had dJmbed above 3,100.

Cozart's Supply Enjoys Loyalty

I feel that the continued growth and success of our business can be contributed to our loyal personnel and the many friends and customers who have been patronizing with us, says W. B. Cozart Jr., owner of Co-zarts Auto Supply.

Cozarts Auto Supply was founded in 1937 by W. B. Cozart. W.B. Cozart, Jr., and Carlton Cozart. All shares of business were purchased in 1956 by W. Banks Cozart, Jr.

Located at 814-16 Dickinson Avenue, the company supplies a business area Greenville and Pitt County with wholesale and retail auto parts, tires, and batteries. A complete delivery service is also offered.

There are ten people employed by the business.

. W. Banks Cozart, Jr., owner and president of Cozarts Auto Supply, is a native of Person County. He attended Greenville High School.

Cozart wasmanager and partner of a tire business beginning >ln 1930In 1931, he was made distributor of B. P. Goodrich tires held on to this line siter going In the parts business in 1937.

The Public Housing Authority of the City of GreenvUle was estabUibed In May of 1961 in the same pubUo referendum that gave teeth to plans for urban renewal in Greenville.

That referendum eatablished a PubUo Housing Authority to determine the needs for public housing. On Mey 4. 1961. Mayor S. Eugene West, at the end of hie administration, appointed five oltlxens to the Commlsalon. They were Charles Howard Jr.. Chairman; O. Bart Trevathan Jr.. vice chairman: Dr. A. A. Best. James E. Sutton and Joseph F. Steelman.

The Idea for public housing steemed out of a survey made by the Redevelopment Commission of Greenville In the proposed Shore Drive Redevelop-mmt project.

A Need For Public Housing

Clearing of the project would necessitate the relocation of residents in the proposed project and there was an acute shortage of housing and much of those units available were substandard.

The 1960 Census of Housing revealed that 38 per cent of all housing in Greenville was substandard and most of this occurred with the Negro populace.

In fact 83 per cent of the 1,532

housing units occupied b; es were substandard, T

Negro*

aame

was true of only 88 per cent of the 1,723 rental units occupied

by whltM.

It was estimated in this cen

sus that 14 per cent ol the population of Greenville (or 3.184

citizens) lived la bousing units that lacked hot and cold running water or private toilets, bathrooms or showers.

JPublic Houstog Plaaneil

It was an agreed fact that private enterprise should provide the bulk housing, but for the low - income group, particularly from the Shore Drive Project public housing would be ra-qulred.

In August. 1961 the Hous 1 n g Authority made a program reservation for 225 publio housing units for Greenville at a total cost of $2,678.885.

They will include 165 In pro

ject N.C. 22-2 for Negroes in 68 units in

South Greenville and Meadowbrook, N.C. 22-1.

Hie South Greenville project lies* Just off Harris Street behind the South Greenv 11 le School.

Public Housing In GreenvUle bogged down for several months foUowlng the 1961 referendum and did not completely get underway untU May of 1963 when the citizens of Greenvlllt In the

CoastniolloB Begtas

Contracts for ths first part the PuhUo Housing project were let hi the summer of 1964 snd construction began soon after-wards.

The original ccmtraot calls for the construction to be oompletr ed by the summer of 1965 but Col A E Dubber, who serves as executive director for both the Housing Authority and the Redevelopment Commission, has said that the first 50 units-will be ready In the spring. They will be delivered in lota of 50 thereafter.

Housing * Make-up

The 65 housing units in North Greenville will Include 15 for elderly persons. Of these units. 18 wUl have one bedroom, 24 will have two bedroams, 18 will have three bedrocms. two wUl have four bedrooms, and three will be afflclenoy apartments.

In the South GreenvUle pro

With the completion of the 228 unite, there wUl stUl be nearly 1,800 Greenville famUles who are forced to make their homes in places that lack hot and cold running water or private toilet or bathing faculties. More than 1,000 of these live in dwellings that can be classified M dlltpi-lated.

The OreenvUle Munioipia Court hii teen mirlied growth since It came Into being in 1938.

W, A. Darden, a local tto^ ney. served as the court's first judge He and Harry Brown, the first solicitor, met each court day in a room at the old police station on Bat Fifth Street. Cases continued co be trted there until all city offices were moved to the newly completed City Hall in 1940 and the municipal court received a large court room.

Following Darden as judge of the recorders court came Louis Skinner and then J.W.H. Roberts. Roberts was followed in 1951 by Judge Charles H. Whed-bee who continues to preside over the court.

Solicitor Brown was replaced tn 1940 by Eli Bloom who has held the elected post without In-lerruptlon since that time.

And over the years, the cas load of the city court has"dou-bled and redoubled many times over until now it tries far more oases than any other court in Pitt County with the exception of the magistrates," Judge Whedbee explains.

lin the last fiscal year, 1983-64, the municipal court heard 2,953 cases. It ooUected $48,520.58, which included fines, forfeited bonds, and monies ooUected for medical treatment connect e d with cases.

Whedbee aerees with a statement made some time ago by Federal circuit Judge J. J. Parker about the court here: As Judge Whedbee recalls, the federal jurists said that "Courts such as the municipal recorders court of OreenvUle are in some respects the most important courts in the entire judicial system. This Is true because a

"As the town grows we will expand and become more mechanized." said OreenvUle postmaster J. Knott Proctor.

"It Is bard to project accurately just how the growth will be," he continued, but noted that the growth (rf the college has had a big impact on local postal services.

About a year and a half ago, a substation was eatablished on Tenth Street to handle Increasing postal loads from the college and from Southeast Greenville.

Proctor estimated that the mall here has Increased eight to ten times whUe the population grew only about three times since hg started post office work in 1943.

He recalled when the rural postmen often carried only a handful of mail. "Now they often have a carload."

Proctor cited OreenvUle postal receipts of past decades as one Indicator of the Increased volume in post office business. In 1951 receipts were above $1514)00 and ten years later they were 'more than $304,000. Last year the receipts climbed to $420.836.

To handle Increased maU volume Proctor estimated that ihere had been about a SO per cent increase in the number of postal employees in the area.

Proctor went on to note that there has been a move toward niechanization in postal serviced. AU deUverles used to ,be made by walking, but today much of the local deUveiies are made on motorized "mailsters."

In addition, the money order system today uses a machine which punches the amounts on a card sc that postal employees no longer have to write out the Informatlbn for each order.

Proctor also noted that Zip Codes are a part of the mechanization process. The code enables maU to bypass certain terminals and thus arrive at a destination sooner. Proctor forsees a time when the codes wUl be read by machines and routed from here much faster than' a man could ever handle the mail.

Another change Proctor noted in local mails was a complete shift from railway movement to tiiicks and highway post office units.

great many of U people who are tried in this court have in that trial their only firsthand personal experience or encounter with their government."

He added that taxes are withheld and other servioea are maintained or conducted without personal contact and many "never have a personal confrontation with their government" except through courts.

"That's one big reason why the court should be run on just as high a plane as possible," the judge exphislsed.

Purpose of Court

The purpose of the municipal court as Judge Whedbee projects it is, "to adminkter the criminal laws of the State of North Carolina and the City of OreenvUle fairly. Impartially and equally, wHh particular attention to try to fit wherever possible, the punishment to the crime. . . try to get through to people and convince them that crime is not only unprofitable but stupid and so to keep them from becoming repeaters.

And apparently the local court has had some measure of success. Several years ago it received an award from the American Bar Association as one of the outstanding recorders courts tn the country.

The court's jurisdiction falls in two categories: territorial and offense. Territorially the court may try cases brought to it from within the city limits as well as a segment of the county composed of an area within five mUcs of the city limite.

The court's offense jurisdiction includes "any misdemeanor. . . any crime in which punishment may not exceed two years on the roads for each count."

Milch Recofttltioa

Because of Whedbee's belief that the punishment should fit the crime as much as possible, the local court has attained a great deal of state - wide and country-wide recognition for some of the judgments handed down.

One case involved a c o 11 e g e student Involved in a 100 mlle-per-hour chase. The youth was ordered to spend several Saturday nights at the hospital emergency room to witness accident victims come in.

Another case involved young people using vulgar and indecent language. They were sentenced to report to the Police Department for several Saturdays where their mouths were washed out with soap.

A later ease, involving the theft of dresses from a secondhand clothing store by boys was ended when the boys marched through downtown OreenvUle --acconpanled by a police escort In dresses they purchased from the store foUowing their conviction.

This court has also . gained state-wide favorable comment "by requiring flagrant traffic violators to make monetary contributions to the OreenvUle Rescue Squad as one of the conditions U suspension of sentence, the Judge pointed out. The money, which comes from persons convicted of drunken driving and careless and reckless driving cases, is given to the rescue unit "without any stipulations whatsoever as to how the money should be used."

At the end of the 1962-63 fls-cal year, for example, the munl-cteal court has turned over for rescue use $1,120, whUe during the next fiscal period ending in 1964 the court collected for rescue activities a total of $1,650.

As for the personal duties of the Judge, Whedbee explains that, "some think the only time that is required of a judge is the time actually spent holding court. As a matter of fact, it takes less time than any of a Judge's duties."

A great deal more time is spent in conferences with people and in hearings on bonds and the like "than the actual trial docket requires."

As for court reform, Whedbee whose father was a judge, presided over the first Superior Court session ever held in the present Pitt County Courthouse in 1911, wants it understood that he is "on record as being in far vor of the court reform bill," which would see a uniform system of lower courts in North Carolina.

Such a system. Whedbee feels, would insure "swift, sure and equal justice in all courts In North Carolina" and would be "a big step in the right direction."

Today the Rev. William M. Edge serves as pastor.

The congregation saw rap 1 d growth after 1900 and ki 1928 the present , structure was built. Funds for its construction were borrowed from the Endowment fund of Atlantic Christian College.

In 1957 plans were projected

for a new education plant now under construction. 1960 saw preliminary remodeling of t h e plant when membership was 219.

Today there are 283 members in the congregation.

Rev. Edge, a Jonesboro, Ga., native, attended Benedicts High School in Cedartown, Ga., and was a salesman prior to founding his own brokerage firm in Mississippi.

At the outbreak of World War II he sold his firm and worked with Bell Aircraft Corporation.

He studied for the ministry at Mercer University and Emory University and was ordained In 1951.

There are 18 officers, eight of whom are elected by secret bal

lot and 10 others are appointed by the Worthy Matron. In a few Instances a Worthy Matron has served more than one term In office, but in most of the years, she has served only the one year. This Is not the case of the Worthy Patron, who assists the Worthy Matron.

New officers are elected the first meeting in March and assume their offices the first meeting In April, when the official year beglns.

Officers now serving the 152 members are: Mrs. Elizab e t h Ewell, Worthy Matron; Clifton Perry, Worthy Patron: Mrs. Margaret Gray, Associate Matron; Clifton Stokes, Associate Patron; Miss Alya Ray Taylor, secretary;

When the Greenville Elkt Lodge WM flnt organized, In 1942 just fthortly after the .8. entered World War n. Its members and there were only a handful of local men In the

ganlzation at the time held their meetings in a house on Evans Street.

R was no^ until 1957 that the Elks, now growing in membership and treasury, built a lodge of their own. The building was conetructed at a cost of $65.000 and provided the members with adequate space and facilities to meet their growing needs.

Meeting halls, kitchen facilities. a lounge, and other facU-

Itiea became regularly and adequately available for the first tlms.

But It was not long, <mly a few years later, when the fast-growing local Elks Lodge realized a need for expansion in order to provide Its membership the room it needed.

In 1962 a $90,000 expansion program designed to Increaae family participation in lodge activities was begun.

The addtion to the lodge build

Ing, which te located on W. Sixth Street near Pitt Memorial Boa-pltal, more than doubled available floor apace of the lodge.

Fred Suave, Exalted Ruler of the Greenville lodge that year, turned the first spade of earth In a groundbreakinff ceremony in September, 1962.

The addition created a building wttb overall dimensione of give birth to such plans as op-94 by 180 feet, and 12.220 square feet; and enlarged the lodge's auditorium, dining facilities, and lounge area.

The completed faeUtty waa soon put to very good use, and

Council-Manager Of Government In Ayden

AYDEN The town operates today under a relatively recent coiincil-manager form of government which retains a mayor and council to head the legal function of setting policy, and a manayer who oversees the administrative part in carrying out the town policies.

The council and mayor formulate local policy through ordinances, explained city manager Cleveland Paylor. It is my job to enforce the ordinances. Paylor does this by overseeing the operations of various town services such as the police department, the utilities department, and the department of public works.

When the town board outlines a policy regarding any of th^se town services, then Paylor has a clear cut concept of how these departments arc to work in specific situations.

The position of city manager Is appointive and is for au indefinite term. Thus, there is no need to re-elect the official and an eleme'.n of politics is kept out of the administrative phase of community .services.

Paylor noted in this connection that the managers dec^n Is final on employment the administrative staff.

Describing the various town services, Paylor noted that through its own electrical distribution system this commun 11 y realizes its chief revenue source. Power here is bought from the Greenville system, he noted.

Ayd:n also operates several miles of rural lines.

There has been a marked reduction in petty activity. We are more able to prevent crime before it happens.

Three deep wells provide a more than ample supply of water here. Paylor claimed. There <s enough to support growing pop^ Illation needs and also any incoming industrial loads.

Other upgrading of the local water lines has provided fire protection, for all residents and a loop system has done away with deadend water lines. Thus the loop provides constant flow of fresh water flow through the city.

Many of the recent improvements in the physical facilities of the department have been f1 nanced through matching funds ! with federal grants.

Similar grants, coupled with , the Powell Bill income, has made I it possible for the department of I Public Works here to improve 1 the communitys streets, drainage, and sewage disposal system. The towTi has more than 17 miles of streets and, exchislve of Powell Bill funds, spent. $44,-837 on Its street budget.

Ayden has the reputation of with the Department of CotLser-vation and Development of being the cleanest town.

We appropriated an addiiion-al $31.000 to match federal funds, Paylor said.

The department of public

The deaprtment is now under-1 works, under direction of J. W.

Total debt service here, t h e amount the town owes on borrowing funds, is $195,000 toward payment of the sewage disposal plant cwnpleted in 1957. The debt service figure does not include interest on the borrowed money.

After town functions Include provision for the six-man police department under Oiief W. D. Brooks and a 36-man volunteer fire department under the command of Chief Tillman' Chaun-cey.

In addition, the town operates a community library and a summer recreation program. A municipally operated commun ! t y building has become a popular meeting place and is in neaily perpetual use.

Paylor Is a native of Dillon. South Carolina. His family moved to Petersburg, Virg i n i a, where he attended high schoi)!. Paylor also attended business school in Petersburg.

He came to North Carolina in 1935 and was employed as clerk and treasurer of the town o1 I Farmville as well as being affiliated with the Farmville Oil and Fertilizer Company.

The Negro Division of the Co-operative Agricultural Extension Service has been In operation In Pitt County since 1935; fulfilling Its major role of helping people help themselves.

The Division was established In that year with Dennla Dupree as the farm agent. Six years later a home economics agent was added when Mrs. Amelia Cape-hart was hired here.

Today the Division Is still lead by experts In the fields of agriculture and home economics.

Extension Programs

The Extension Service offers a wide variety of educational programs to meet some of the needs of farmers, non - farmers and urban families of Pitt County.

Possibly the best known programs of the Service are those of 4-H and Home Demonstratlo. Clubs and the latest addition of Community Developmeut organizations.

The programs exist in addition to the personal farm and home visits of the local agents, special Interest meetings, lecture p r o-grams and radio and,TV programs.

The Service also has reciprocal agreements with other agencies in getting across pertinent Information to families.

There are 29 organized 4-H clubs hi Pitt County with approximately 500 members In 1964. Although these clubs are directed by adult volunteers, they are under the direct supervision of the farm and home agents. ~ There are 163 of these adult leaders, elher club sponsors or .special project leaders. These

clubs offer a variety of activities for youngsters in the way of farm and home projects, technical proJecU and several ethers.

There are 17 Home Demonstra-Uon Clubs ill Pitt County under the direction of the home agent. This kicJudee approximately 350 mtmbera.

These clubs meet monthly, giving varied programs of Interest to families. '

More recently on the scene are the three Community Development Clubs In Orlmeslaiid, Sally Branch and Calico.

These clubs feature famil 1 e i coming together to formulate plans to Improve the community through Increased incomes, home improvements, youth programs and community projects.

These programs have proved very effective vin the respective communities. In 1964, Grlmes-land club placed first in competition among a six county organl-, zation called the Coastal Plain Development Association.

In addition to these three clubs, another is now being organized in the Bell - Arthur community.

Special Programs The Extension Service has a variety of special prog rams which it either sponsors or works closely with in bringing the needed information and education to families.

Such a program is the home management classes for indigent families on the welfare role. The Extension service works closely with the Welfare Department in providing the wives and mothers with information on home management; buying food and clothing in a very limited budget and

working with surplus foods.

WINTERVILLE The municipal government here consists of an elected board of aldermen who work with Mayor Walt e r Dail.

Mayor Dail noted that his two-year term never coincided in succession with the stagger e d three-year terms of any aldermen.

Dail said that the more refined system of staggering aldermanic elections went Lito effect in 1346 and noted that the system had proven very effective in providing smooth transitions from one generation of town administrators to another.

He explained that this basic municipal structure has been maintained since Winterville was incorporated in 1897, The first mayor was James R. Johnson who worked with Rowan Caper. C.O. Brown and J.F. Harrington, the three aldermen.

Grifton Methodist

hurch Is Growing

GRIPTON - The Orifton Me-hodlst Church traces its begin-lings back to the late 1800's and couples its growth to the town's development.

The congregation was started vhen the village was known as Bells Perry with a population of about 75 people living on both ,.ldes of the Contentnea Creek.

In the village Prank Pittman I'stablished a general repair shop along Main St. where the Methodist Sunday School met. The Church record.s ..ay there were 110 musical instruments available and the otdy literature on hand ' vas a copy of the catechism. Lumber for a church building vas donated by a member and vas sawed in a local mill. The irst sanctuary was located on he site of the present Negro : chool.

The Rev. Mr. Alpheus McCul-'cn was the first minist^* to i.erve the congregation. Before 'hat a Rev. Carpenter, a circuit ider who also paid monthly vis-'ts to Edwards Chapel and Sharon Church, visited the congre-I nation.

The three churches remained 'a the sam charge until 1953 hen the Orifton church lost its o.ircuit status.

Before liKK) a new building 'as erected at Gordon and Me-lac Sts. and in 1928 water pro ilems forced construction of sti nother building. Parts of t h e older sanctuary were used in the iower structure and during con-ti-uction the congregation wor-hipped in the old Orifton The-iter.

In 1961 the educationpl build-i ng was completed and 1953 saw he church acquire a parsonage or its full-time pastor as hidus-rial expansion here created the

need.

The Rev. Mr, R. Stewart Brod-le reported that today's membership is 333 and that the caigre-gation plans to build a new sanctuary to complete its cycle of three construction projects that began with the education building.

The Rev.- Mr. Brodie, a native of Lanarkshire, Scotland, was raised in Michigan and came to North Carolina in 1937 with the Norfolk and Southern Railroad.

He served In the Navy from September of 1942 until October oi^ 1945 and spent a year of duty in] Alaska.

Gayborn said that the squad was organized by Kenneth Waters and Leigh Vannerman who served as the first Captain. Vannerman asked NeU Stallings of Greenville to be the group's first instructor.

The first unit was an ambulance donated by the Howard and Carter Funeral Home in Kinston,

In 1963 the squad acquired a new ambulance that was financed by canvassing efforts of the local fire association and other community groups.

The present unit is a one-ton panel truck built and equipped Specifically for rescue work. Its equipment Includes radio oxygen supply, first aid supplies and heavier tools.

Squad members qualify for joining the group by passing both a basic and advanced first aid training course prov i d e d through the Red Cross.

Ride to Parmele

BETTHEL An elder citizen here recalls whn one of the main features of enjoyment was riding down to Parmele m Sunday afternoons to watch the trains come in.

She also recalls whcm most of the families in Bethel had only one car and a few had none.

PARMVILLE R. E. Mayo, president of the Florrace Mayo Nuway Company here, reports that his first oil ^ burning curer waa produced with the aim of easing the job of curing, improving tobacco quality and cutting production costs for farmers.

Mayo founded the first plant in 1935 at Maury. N,C in an abandoned store rented for $5,00 a month. In the first year 126 curing unit* were manufactured.

Shortly after World War II ended, when steel became more readily available, the plant was moved here. The 40,000 square foot plant employed about 25 people. and a year later employed from 75 to KXi in its a.sS,embly-line production which yielded up to 400 units in an eight hour period.

Today there zre more than 50 full-time and part - time people employed on an annual payroll of more tiian $100,000,

Mayo is credited with the invention of an air condition 1 n g

procesa developfd to remove moisture from leaves. The iwo-cesa is employed in every model the firm produces.

The curing unit# are tdday dla-trtbuted to about 290 dealers in Southeastern United States, They are trucked to branches and warehouses in Baxley, Oa.. Fair* mont and Effingham. N.C, , There are now seven kinds of oil and gas operated curers available from the company. In addition. the firm also designed the Nuway Barn which feature* a special ventilating technique.

Last Fall the firm began work-ing with heating equipment for poultry houses, and these new units are now in production here.

R,E. Mayo, who was born in Pitt County on a tobacco farm near Greenville, spent most of his life growing the crop in Pitt and Greene Counties prior to founding the business.

He married the former Willie Elliott of Jonesvllle, N.C. They have one son.

The curriculum Includes English, social atudles, math, acl-ence, home economies, foreign language, busineta and nuisic.

The present facility here also houses classes in primary and grammar grade level education. Ormond has proposed that couraea in apeech, foreign language and remedliU reading be added at these levels.

Moreover, Ormond has proposed that supplementary services include s guidance program for the pupils here.

Almost all of the labor done on farms in Pitt In those days wa.s done by Negroes. At Cot-teiidale and Southwood men were paid fifteen dollars a month and women twelve. Supplementing this was a weekly ration of five pounds of meat and a peck of meal to each family.

This ration was handed out each Monday at noon.

AYDEN For the past t w o years the local planning commission here haa been working towards making {M*ovision for the orderly development of t h i community.

In 1963 the group undertook a planning program and initiated a community study project to determine growth trends and patterns. Por this study the local officials enlisted techni c a 1 assistance from the Division of Community Planning of the Department of Conservation and Development.

The study Includes considerations not only within Ayden but also factors from both beyond the town and county which affect projected growth here. From the results of data ga-th*~ed in the study, certain goals for the community itself could be determined.

These goals Include factors in the economy, the community and the total physical environment.

From the study, goals could be determined for a land use system and sound recommenda

tions were made on revitaliza-tlon of thf business district, industrial potential and improvement of oommunity appearance.

Thus specific guidelines, prepared in the context of total county - wide development per^ spctive, are today available to the local planning officials. It is possible to take sound steps to supplement past growth with economic development with i n the community.

Chairman of the planning commission Tom Wheless, noted that the town is now at the stas^ where it must begin steps toward implementing the goaia, These steps include a new zoning plan that utilized for both immediate and long - range expansion of the town.

A set of subdivisions regulations ha.s also been recommended for the town.

In addition to Wheless, other planning commission memb e r s include John Noble, secretary -treasurer; Russell Wooten, J.R. Taylor and Pierce Summerell. Town Manager Cleveland Paylor serves as an ex officio member.

By IIEKiERT C. BONNER WASHINGTON - The growth and well-bekig Of the countiea ol the First Congmaional Diatrlet have been my concern during a lifetime, and eapeclaily dur 1 n g my service aa a Member of Congress.

The 24 years that have passed since I assumed this office have seen a growth m our aect 1 o n that can only be deacrlbtd as fantastic.

Sound programa on the part of the government have meant much to our aection, to the farm-ers. small bualneaamen. school children and the homemakera.

But. our aeetlon hat been known, too. for Ita aelf^rellanee. Our people have had a pioneering spirit, even though they are inhabitant# ol one <' the nation's first settled areas.

Government programs with which I have had to deal in the past 24 years have been used by our people to improve their standard of living and the quality of life; yet, it has been the ambition, the good will and the willingness to work of our people which has assured the advances we have all seen I

The farm programs for our basic crops, which have been of continuing concern to me as your Congressman, have done much to assure a better Ufe for our people. These programs have had the support of the farmers, the businessmen an the government leaders of our section I am proud cf the part I have been able to play In developing and perfecting them, and I am ure they will continue to be a necessary and vital part of eur government policy.

Programs to hcl the small businessmen and those who need the helping hand of the , government havj meant much to our people. The humanltar 1 a n program.? developed in the Administrations of Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson have been well | received by our section and have helped assure a better today arid ; promise of better tomorrows.

For my own part, J have been : pleased with the development of our educational resources. East j Carolina College. CIiqwiu College and the college of the a1- ^ bemarle stand out as wonderful ' exantples of the determination of : citizens of the First District to pepare our youth lor the ehal-lenges of the modern age. I am glad to have been associated with helping develop these great educational resources to positions of leadership throughout North Chrc^ina, and even beyond its borders.

The 24 years that I have been priveged to serse the First District in Washington have been

years of immense problems for the District, the State and the Natiwi.

Th# hardext vote ] ever bad to cast came In 1941, when with a heavy heart I voted for war. Even thoug; it was forced upon us, no public servant can help but sorrow that such votes are necessary. Our section serv e d the nation well during those years, and I am proud of the record we made tciiethiy.

In my own services as Chairman of the House Committee on Merchant Marla# and Fisheries. I haw; sought t# strengthen the economic re,sources of our own

area by advooatlag lound programs of develQpmeot and aon-servatlMi. Our wonderful reorea-tioQ resources arw becom I n g more and more a souree of wealth and happbiMis of our pe(H?le.

The future is b ight for the countlc of the Firs' District. We are, 1 believe, only on the threshold of grcal economle advancement. Oui people are bet^ ter trained than aver before. Our hortxMui have bec'i lilted to the idoaU of 4 better Ufa for an.

Heritage Of Greenville Masons Dates To 1766

. Greenville Masons have the d;.sa ctlon of heing members In th oldest, most historical civic, social or fraternal organization 111 Pitt Comity.

Their long heritage dates back to ai least as far as the year 17H. lor in that year, St. Johns Grand Lodge of Massachusetts issued a dispensation to one Thomas Cooper of the Pitt County Lodge to act as Deputy Grand Master of North Carolina.

And even as late as 1910, the Greenville Lodge had in its poe-session a certificate of membership of one Clement Holliday to the Crown Point Lodge, the first Masonic Lodge in the state, dated March 27, 1768.

So the heritage of modern-day Greenville Masons has survived slavery, war, fire and flood, de-p.ession, and time.

Today there are three lodges in Greenville: the Crown Point Lodge Numbe^ 708, Greenv 111 e Lodge Number 284, and the newly formed William Pitt Lodge UD.

The William Pitt Lodge, formed on December 16 with 24 members, Is now operating under dispensation and is expected to be chartered at a meeting of t h e Grand Lodge sometime in April. It is the latest step in the spread and growth of Masons in Greenville.

' Another milestone was laid on April 30, 1964, when members of the Greenville and Crown Point

Lodges dedicated a brand new $100,000 Masonic Temple.

Located on Charles Street In Greenville, this modem structure Is the latest in a series of many temples and replaces the old temple on Fifth Street, which was in use from about 1912.

The previous Masonic Temple burned In the winter of 1910 to a tremendous fire which also destroyed the Pitt Coimty Court Hou.se.

Work on the new facility began in October. 1963, and a cornerstone laying ceremony wa conducted in that same month. The old temple was to be sold and the funds applied to the new building,.

The new structure Includes two complete lodge rooms, a luxuri-

Destdte aeveral fires and early financial problems, the Oreeii-vUle aty School system has known steady growth and during the last decades has enjoyed rapid development.

The first classes under the graded school systemmet to September oi 1903, Since the first building was not comi^ted to tims, these classes met to various churches and homes until the building was ready in N> vember.

The first structure, the <^d Evans Street School, continued to be used until destroyed by fire to 1929.

Bids on that original structure provided for a wooden, two story^ building for $12,000. R, J. Cobb, a member of the board, Insisted that a brick bulging could be erected for $10,000,

When the people who promised to buy the $10,000 to txxids reneged, Cobb overcame the effort to buy the bonds below par by putting up the full amount himself.

At the same time the Evans Street School was being built, work progressed on a small Negro school. It cost about $3,000.

The first Model or teac her traintog school was built on Co-tanche Street a decade aft^ the Evans Street School was com-pleted.

. A contract was let for the first high school building to 1916. This school was located on the front part of the ixnesent junior high school site.

This high school, financed by a $30,000 bond issue, contained eight classrooms, a small auditorium, office, library, labMH^

tory and home ecoiuMnics room. There was also a swimming

ous lobby, kitchen facilities, and a parking area for approximately 300 cars.

It Is used Jointly by the three Greenville Lodges.

Prom their early beginnings and throughout their historical era, local Masonic Temples have increased to size and membership to a present total ot 449 members: 310 members comprise the Greenville Lodge, the largest; 11 are to the Crown Potot Lodge; and the William Pitt Lodge will have 24 charter members.

Officers in the Masonic Lodges are elected each year. Currently serving are:

Greenville Lodge: Coy Avery, Master; Jimmy Raeford, Senior Warden; Richard King, Junior Warden; Eldward Austin, Secretary; and W. Herman Hardee, Treasurer.

Crown Point Lodge: Robert E. Smith, Master; Durwood Harris, Senior Warden; Fred H. Rogers, Junior Warden; Royce Hunsuck-er. Treasurer; and F. Luther Whitehurst. Secretary.

WUllam Pitt Lodge: W. Herman Nobles. IMaster; W. H. Smith. Senior Warden; Roy Mc-Kelthan, Junior Warden; Billy Whitehead. Treasurer; and Bradley Gray. Secretarv.

Several FIrea

In 1922 the Negro school oo Fleming Street was destit>yed by fire. The school board and city aldermen immediately riarted on plans to build a new school which waa finally completed tad equipped to 1924 for $56,000, During that uxm year con-structkm got under #ay for the West Greenville School on Ches-nut IMreet. Claaaes firat met to the $50,000 building to 1925, Ten years later four more . !aMrooms and section rooms were added to the east and west wings.

Work on the first sectioa, the north wing, of the .wesent junior high school also got under way in 1925. The structure was erected along Fourth Street with the Intention of Unking UUs to the 1916 structure with a gymnasium and auditorium.

However, a fire to 1927 destroyed the 1916 building and plans were re - drawn to Include a cafeteria to addition to the gym and auditorium to the re building project.

When the 1929 Ore destroyed the Evans Street School, the school board replaced that building with the Third Street School. The building and equlpm e n t represented an investment of $79,500.

More Growth

A $93,000 addition to the Third Street School Included new classrooms, art rooms, a cafeteria and Ubrary. The work was finished to 1949.

That same year saw work begin on the South Greenville Elementary School to a 15 acre site. Tl% 1f89,000 first unit was occupied the foUowlng yeaTi In 1953 contracts were let for another addition to the Third Street School and in 1953 the second unit of the South Greenville Elementary* School was be-^un.

Negoiiatlons for land tor thi preaent Rose High School and, for the Eppes High School were successfully undertaken several decades ego. The flrat untt ot Eppes School waa erected to 1929 facing West Ptfth St. Subsequent additlona brought more classrooms and offloet and 1957 saw comptetion ot the sehoore gym.

November ot 1957 saw the dedication (rf the Junius H. Rose High Schod with 76,500 square feet of space for 15 classrooms, a library, three science rooms, three commerce rooms, several music rooms, three tKune making rooms, two offices, t w o teachers lounges, a health clinic, kitchen, cafeteria and gymnasium with dressing rooms.

Teacher Training

To meet the need for teacher traintog facilities for pract 1 c e teachers the East Carollns College Board of Trustees to 1913 negotiated with the Board of Trustees of the Greenville Cliy Fichools to erect a school on the college campus.

The Model School was built on Cotanche Street with the agreement that the city school system was to pay for the $8.000. one - story building. Later a second story was added and t h e brick structure was used until 1928 when shifting sands under the foundation brought its condemnation.

In that year the middle section of the Wahl'- Coates School was* built by the State of North Carolina. The East classroom wing was added to 1931 and in 1950 the gymnasium, auditorium and cafeteria wing were built.

This school is operated as part of the city school system with the state furnishing the building and equipment.

The Greenville Ministerial A-sociatloa is this year working with the staff of Pitt Memorial Hospital to establish a more far-reaching hospital chaplaincy program.

The program will augment the present hospital chaplaincy visitation and chapel program which makes up one phase of the associations current projects to the Greenville area.

The new effort Is part of the healing team concept In which physician, psychiatrist and minister work together to treat the whole person. said ministerial association president Rev. Richard Davis. The concept Involves. psychological, medical and spiritual elements.

The Idea for this program Is the result of a survey made by the association In which locaJ

When Greenville was settled In 1774, a road was built from ; Greenville to Halifax, find this ! road became Bethel's Niatni Street. Halifax wa.s llw iNorlh | Carolina Capital at the time, i

About the same time another road was built from Tar boro and crossed (he North - South roiul at Bethel.

About 1800, a church waa built by the Methodists and It was named Bethel Church. The name was subsequently applied to the crossroads and to the community which developed around It.

sold two hundred acres to Mrs, Lucinda Davenport, and on this land was erected the hotel which still stand* on Church Street. The Hotel was built by Alfred James II who also laid out Main Street, James Street, several cross streets, and who also old smaller lots from the property he purchased from Mrs. Davenport.

Muster Area

The vUlaKc served as a voting place and muster area for the militia Just before the Civil War.

Prior to the war, there were no railroads Hi Pitt County, and thoujh the Albemarle and Raleigh right of way had been pre

pared, tracks weren't laid through Bethel until 18S3. This was just a decade after the town had been Incorporated, Today the tracks belong to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.

At the time Bethel was Incor* pora ted there were about 170 resident*, and the population did not grow until the railway arrived The 1900- census showed about 1..578 people In the town.

Bethel was the first town in Pitt County to have a free, public supported graded school. It *was approved by popular v<^ in 1902. Prior to that Professor Z.D, McWorter had conduc ted classes In an academy here.

e Site

During the iweuticth ctntury, Bethel has remained primarily an agrarian centered community, though In recent yean there has been a trend (or people to live In the community and commute to work in other places.

Many of the residents here are landowners who live In town and rent farms to tenants. The agricultural background is relatively varied, and until recently the Bethel area has been a center for raising Irish potatoes.

At one time, the community is reported to have ranked second to Farmvil|e as having the highest per capita income in North Carolina.

BETHEL - The cUnlc here ba grown from a small outpatient obstetrics sei-vlcc into a small ho.spltal, but still maintains emphasi.s 1.1 Its outpatient service,' said Charles D. Jordan, MD.

Doctors on the Bctlicl Clinic today treat people In a 2.5 - mile radius, trl . county area.

The facility senes more than 10,000 families, though only a^ small percentage of it.s patients come from Bethel. Patients come from as far a.s Orenivillc. Rocky Mount. Scotland Ne c k and Wa.shingloii.

The clinic was founded in 19.50 when Dr. Jordan and Connell G, Garrrnton, MD, each put up $5,-0(K) and borrowed the lialaoce to erect the oiiglnal clinic. The rtoctort, equipped the clinic with lacilities wdiich had been in Dr. Garrenton's old office.

Having nothing else to arm himself with when he went out to serve a warrant Chance took along his grubbing hoe.

Thus the dignity of office was upheld by a common working tool.

net Later a heated bas.sinet, two Incubators and an autoclave weic acquired.

Other equipment includes an oxygen tent, electrocardiogram and X-Ray units and a fully equipped laboratoi-y operat e d by Medical Technologist Rufus E. ColtraUi.

In addition to Coltrain, t h e staff Includes five registered nurses, two nur.ses aids, a business staff of four, and a custodian.

Major Operations Also

Today the clinic not only handles the obstetrics W'ork but also handles minoi operations and even a few ma.)or operatio\is to include coronary occlustion,s and various medical emergencies.

The hospital Is accredited by the North Carolina Medical Care Commission, and is licensed on its approval to treat insurance cases.

The doctors here, who maintain 24 - hour duty on a rotating schedule to handle emergencies, keep normal office hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Emergency cases are usually brought in by the Bethel Rescue Squad.

The three doctors see approximately 33,000 outpatients a year, and have averaged about one delivery a day, Dr. Garrenton reported.

The clinic type operation here Is unique In that there are three general practitioners who can rotate on a duty schedule. Usually there are specialists In larger clluics. Dr, Garrenton observed.

Someone needs to keep a

watch over a patient as a whole; we deplore the loss of family doctors,'' he noted.

Here wc can handle about 95 per cent of all work and as general practitioners can rendei a tremendous service In a wide range from psychotherapy to surgery.

Another doctor reported that the general public attitude Ls changed in that people want an j advisor, a counselor, and also ' want an effective practitioner ~ they W'ant results. '

The doctors here feel, that their clinic has encouraged other Pitt County doctors to develop similar practices. The constant availability of a physician on a rotating duty system and efforts to keep medical costs dowm were named as factors in the success of the operations here.

Meals for patients in the din--Ic are prepared by the Grade A Cafe, a local catering service. The clinic itself has no major kitchen facilities, though It Is equipped to prepare small orders.

BETHEL Ve're looking for development, reported Mayor Joseph Butterworth,

The towns economy has been primarily agricultural but there is a trend for people to live here and work elsewhere. He cited Kinston, Greenville and Tarboro as places where the people work.

Butterworth noted that most of the residential growth here had taken place on the North side of the community. The town recently annexed land from the North side into the Municipal limits

He estimated that the exten-lon of the towns boundaries raised the present population to about 1.75(<.

He noted that a new town subdivision was being developed on land owmed by the McWorter. Cherry and Harper families. The

Early Concern For Saving Land ^

A.s early a.s 1726 there seemed to be a concern for saving lands in the future. In order to do this the Council meeting in March 1726 passed a bill governing the size of dwellings.

Each house was to be fifteen feet long, ten feet broad, made tight and habitable of clapboards ' or logs squared with a roof and I chlmney-place and a door-place. The whole acre was to be clear^^: cd with the largest part broke up and planted in grain or fruit trees.

Greenville as It attempted to serve the rapidly expondly enrollments at Ea^ Carolina College found itself with a critical housing problem. Pleas by college authorities for several hundred beds for students became commonplace on television and to the local press, remembers Charles C. Cobb, owner and manager of the College Inn.

Added to this demand for housing from the college community is the normal growth of the city. This probtom Is further aggrevated by a large influx of construction people as the area marches ahead industrially.

In surveying this mountine de-nutnd for furnished bousing. Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Cobb decided to establish a luxury furnished apartment project complete with swimming pool and laund-ryette.

The Greenville Chamber of Cmmnerce and Merchanta Aa-eoclatlon is this year planning to aMttoaatrate Its efforts on a five-program dedicated to the de^oimient of OreeovlUe and Pitt County.

Promote Greenville as a center for business meetings and conventions.

Develop and promote a first class tourist attraction for Greenville and Pitt County.

Investigate feaslabiUty of a Iriant In Pitt County for canning and processing produce.

Develop an effective pronno-tlonal program for Greenvle.

Develop and initiate an Improvement ^project for downtown Greenville.

To effectively Implement these Interests, the local organization has become Involved with problems In traffic and parking, community advertising, agrarian and industrial development. transportation, civic and public affairs, legislation, East Carolina College and .-.Iso broader issues such aa freedMn vs communism.

By dealing In these matters through educational and oo-op-

erative programs, the local group hopes to effect a closer association of the merchants and businessmen of the Creenv 111 e area.

Doily Reflector Has 70 Years Of Growth

The Day Reflector, the first dally newspaper In the history of GrecnvlUe has progressed considerably skice December 10, 1894, when it was founded by David Jordan Whlchard.

During Its 70 years of exist-noe, the paper has outgrown three buUdings, eight presses, the first small staff that did everjrthing' and has become 1 part (rf the life of Greenvle.

The Reflector is much older than Its 70 years as a daily. It was In existence prior to 1894 as the weekly-Eastern Reflector which began publication on January 26. 1882. With the beginning of World War I. it was absorbed by the rapkUy - growing day.

The Day Reflectors history dates back even further to 1887 when L. Thomas and Ccxnpany .began publication of The Express. In 1878, two brothers, David Jordan Whichard, and Julian R. Whlchard worked for Thomas. At the age of 16, David became editor. He was at that time the youngest newspaper ed-Itor In North Carolina.

In January. 1882, just after the Express discontinued publication, the brothers began their *own publication of The Eastern 'Reflector, a weekly.

David Iordan Whichard became sole owner of The Reflector in 1885 when his elder brother moved from Pitt County to engage in the newspaper busi

ness elsewhere.

Begins on Trial Basis

On December 10, Whichard began publication of The Dally Reflector rai a one - month trial basis. He commented In an editorial in the first issue:

Here it is! Not very large ki size, but laige enough, we hope, to make its presence felt. For a long time it has been our purpose to start a daUy paper in Greenville as soon as we thought the town could maintain one, and having recently been sever a 1 times approached on the subject we have decided to make the venture now.

. . .If It continues It wiU be enlarged as fast as Its patronage demands. We leave this entirely with the people, hoping that every one wlU look upon it as his paper; and take s u ch pride in establishing a daily paper here as to extend it a helping hand,

The first edition was very small having three columns on each of its four pages. It was

tinued as editor and publisher of The Daily Reflector from its beginning until Jiy, 1919, when he I sold to his son. David Jul i a n I Whichard.

I At one time during the elder Whichards life the newspaper ' was owned by a stock company of which he was majority stockholder. Whichard later regained control of the newspaper from the stock company.

Whichards s(m assumed the management of the newspaper in May, 1913. when his father was appointed postmaster of Greenvle. The son purchas e d control of the firm from his father in July, 1919.

David Julian Whichard Incorporated the business in January, 1948, in order to take in his two sons and other members of the | faraUy. .

The present stockholders, in addition to Whichard, are Mrs. Virginia S. Whichard, Samuel L. Bridgers, David Jordan Whichard, and John S. Whlchard.

In December of 1964. David Julian Whlchard announced his

Many churches in the Gn:en-ville area are today experiencing growtli as they follow a trend which has continued through the past decades.

The progress; many Greenvle ministers felt, was manifest not only in the tiding and expansion of physical plants to meet the needs of swelUng memberships. but was also manifest hi a greater overaU religious awareness in the people.

The Jarvis Memorial Chur c h was named for ex - governor Thomas J. Jarvis. Construction was started on the present sanctuary in 1905 and completed two years later. There are now nearly 1,500 members on the roll. The dedication of a rebuilt sanctuary was is 1962.

Jarvis this year has a $97,000 budget of which a great proportion is allocated for mission and world services.

Broader Scope

The Rev. John Drake of St. Pauls Episcopal Church noted that his congregation was expert, encing a growing knowledge of our church and its mission as we grow and are enriched as a result of the encounter with new people.

This is a measure of student progress, The Rev. Mr. Drake said.

He noted that his congregation was developing an increased awareness of people in all geographical areas of the world. He cited the Voice of America personnel and the coDege as great influences in putting his people in touch with the whole

community affairs. That too. is progress, the Rev. Mr. Drake continued. The church has provided an awareness for social action.

He went on to cit^ how his congregation was also experiencing a greater degree of involvement as a greater diversity of people worship today.

St. Pauls today has 480 communicants. The Re . Mi\ Drake said that in the last decade the figure has nearly doubled. The last addition to the physical plant was an educational buUding on the rear of the Fourth St. sano-Tuafy in 1958.

Aug|nent Education

Yugoslavia native father Anthony Kovazio, who is serving his first year as priest of St. Gabriels Catholic Church, expressed the hope to expand the school where there are today 127 students. He looks to double this registration.

The church was organized by Father Maurice Tew about 30 years ago. He came from Boston to start the Mission. In 25 years he but the church, rectory, parish hall, school and convent which today represents a value exceeding $400,000, Father Kovazio noted.

Father Maurice Splane, pastor of St. Peters Catholic Church noted that growth was seen in the modem school which was built in 1953 on. E. Fourth Street. More recently a rectory and con-

vent were purchased for the church.

He Is the principal administrative officer for the city, and though he wields considerable. authority In the everyday busi-1 ness of running It, Is directly re-1 sponsible to the city ?ouncll.

Specific ResponslbtUtles I am given the specific responsibility of preparation and administration of the municipal budget, and for all activities indicated and covered in the budget," Hagerty says, and more; "1 act as a member of all

boards tnd committees appointed by the council; I am cbarg* ed with the Implementation of the city's plans; I act In an advisory capacity to all department heads, who are responsible to me for thvlr activities:" and he adds, "I hire and fire all de-partmcat beads."

His duties are further outlined in the Greenville City Code;

"The City .jfanager shall: (I) Be the administrative bead of the city government; <2) see that within the city the laws the state and the (H'dlnances. resolu-UcMis, and regulations of the council are faithfully executed;

(Si attend all meetings of the council, nd recommend for adoption such measures as he shall deem expedient; ^4) make reports to th council fronv time to time upon the affairs of the city, keep the council fuhy advised o' '>he citys financial condition and ts future flnwie 1 a 1 needs; (5) appoint and remove all heads cf departments, superintendents, and other employeea of the city."

/Farmer Programs

Tb Afilculture SUbUsaUon iod Conaervatloo Service, ilnoe Uta, baa provided a variety of eontrol and conservation pro-frami to the farmers P i 11 County and the nation.

The ASCS here has offered a valuable service to Pitt' County, the largest tobacco<produc i n g county in the world.

Phases of Growth

The ASCS was Hrst established In 1933 and was known as the AAA < Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1933). It was established under Franklin D. Roosevelts first administration and was concerned primarily with tobacco controls. The program was short-lived, however.

The U. S. Supreme Court ruled that its program was unconstitutional in January 1936.

Roosevelt wasted no time in atarting another program with the Soil Conservation and EK)mes-tic Allotment Act of February, 1936.

This program later became known as the Production Marketing Administration (PMA). Still

later It look the name of ASC and it waa not until until the Ke.'inedy Administration that the ASCS took its present name.

Local Influence

The ASCS program is unique In that it is a program of the farmers. The AAA was established with the support of farmers as were the later programs.

Through the yef^s. farmers vote every three s^ars to continue or abandon the control program. The support was evident in the December referenda when only 28 of 8,372 voting Pitt farmers voted i^ainst the control system.

Three local citizens stand out in the fight for a valid control program. J. E. Winslow and W. H Dali served on the original AAA county commltce along with Roy Cox. When the AAA was declared unc(Mistitutlonal in 1936. Winslow and Dail were joined by B. B. Sugg Sr. in pushing an act through Congress that was constitutional. These three men traveled to Washington and other areas supporting a control pro-

gram and were Instrumental in establishing a program that evolved into the inresen^market-ing quotas and price suiH>ort program.

Ceder County Agents When the AAA was instituted in 1933 it was placed under the direct supervision of the County Agents. There were the community and ^county committees just as today but the County agent served as secretary to the County CommiUee.

This was not changed until 1942. The PMA was in a gradual separation from the County farm agent and this separation was completed In 1942. P. Hassell, who is now executi.-directdr of the State ASC Coni^ mlttee was chief clerk at that time and UxA over the duties as office manager.

The separatlcm was not completed however, because the County agent still remains in an advisory capacity to the County Committee.

ASCS programs The Pitt ASCS offers a var-eity of programs of crop con

trols, diversion subsidies and loans. These programs are all designed to aid the farmer and at the same time, allow the government to control surpluses.

ASCS's control psoisam fie mainly with tobacco, cotton and peanuts. Under this program the acreage of each crop is set on every tndividugl farm according to the farm history. Growers, are required by law to stay within this allotment and in return, are guaranteed a support price on the crop.

The major part of the ASCS work is with tobacco control. Each year, after the acreage allotment has been determined, each farmer is notified.

, After the farmer has been notified and has planted the crop, it has to be measured by ASCS employes and all over the allotment has to be cut down.

The magnitude of this job can readily be seen in the employment recoi*ds. The ASCS office carries 10 full-time employes. But when tobacco season hoUs around 85 men are added to measure and report acreage and

another 25 women are added to the office staff.

Another Important program of ASCS is the Agriculture Conservation Program fACP). Jnder this program, farmers can receive grants airnounting to 50 per cent of the cost, to practice conservation program in a farm.

Another program is the feed grain diversion progrc.w, where if a famier agrees to divert as much as 10 per cent of his feed grain acreage to conserving uses, he will receive * a guaranteed price for the crop as well a^ cash payment for the diversion.

A farmer can also receive a loan on grain that is stored up. This loan is granted at the price support on each bushel and the farmer stores the grain.

When loan is due to be repaid, he can either turn over the crop to ASCS as payment or sell the crop at market price and repay the loan in cash.

Except for the period around World War H, the ASCS is almost completely concerned with controllng production of crops. During WWn, production was

encouraged so there would be plenty of everytWug to carry the soldiers to war.

This encouragement extends only to wool today and the ASCS is offerhig an Iviccntive for producing wool and bringing the U. S. production up to the demand.

The ASCS will pay 27.8 pet cent of the net sale to a wool producer as an incentive.

Brings Money to Pitt The Pitt Comity ASCS office brings as much money into Pitt County as the average business.

The local office is appi-opriat-ed $120,000 a year Just for administrative purposes. Funds for carrying on the various programs averages about $1,000.000 a year. This money goes directly to the farmer.

Committee System The ASCS committee system dates back to 1933 under the AAA program. Each township had a committee of three and the county also has the committee which actually governs the ASCS work.

J E Winslow. WH Dail and

Roy Cox were the members of that first county committee. Today W. F. Tyson of Stokes is cliiirman. A. P. Worthington of Greenville is vice chaiiman and J. Elbert Mills of Simpson ^ regular member.

This ASCS system is quite unique in that it is a combination of federal, state and county. Funds and programs come down from the federal government through the state ASCS, but the county committee is completely responsible for the administration of the programs within the

ASCS Manager

D. Livingston Roberts, a former farmer from Bladen county is now manager of the local ASCS office. He came to Greenville in 1960 as assistant manager and took over the managers post two years later.

He first became associated with ASCS as a community committeeman in Bladen County and as an acreage reporter there. He later served as assist- t performance isupervisor, who train and spot-check the acreage reporters.

He also worked, in tlie Finance and Accounting Division. Department of the Army at Bort Bragg before returning U 31ad-enboro as chief ASCS 'ciork. He reanilned there until 19C0.

Roberts is married to tac former Frankie Davl.s of Bladrn-boro and they have three children. The Roberts reside on the Parraville Highway, Just out from Gf^ecnvlllc.

For the Fanner . The Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service and its ancestors, came about because the farmers of this nation realized a need for Income protection.

These farmers petitioned Congress for a program to control production and Increase farm income.

Since Ita establishment, ASCS programs have never been forced on the farmer. This la evidenced by the necessary farmer approval every three years.

Further evidence of popular support locally can be seen in the fact that only 20 farms out of 2,700 in Pitt County do not participate in any ASCS program.

Orderly Growth In Planning And Zoning Commission

Zoning Commission since June 28. 1956, has been playing a most vital role in the orderly growth of Greenville.

Established as a consolidation of the Zoning Commission and the Planning Commission on that the date, the two commissions were organized a few years earlier just after Greenville adopted the council type government.

Opines Fountain Is Ideal Home

iOUNTAIN I had rather live in Fountain than anywhere else in Easteni North Carolina. an adopted citizen of Fountain was heard to remark recently. I like the smallness (it has only 496 population according to the 1960 census). I like the wide streets, well-kept, and the pretty homes and finished lawns, with profuse flowers in most seasons of the year.

This enthusiasm is the best key to the attractiveness of Fountain. It has churches, civic groups, and social clubs that serve the needs of the people. It is not far from Wilson, four miles from Farmvillc and less than 20 miles from Greenville. All of the facilities, medical and professional In tho.sc centers are added to those available in Fountain.

Two wells owned by the town provide adequate water for its citlzais. A complete restudy of all sanitation and utility needs is reported underway in cooperation with the State Health Department. The local tax rate is $1..50 per $100 assessed valuation, and the school tax for the district is 41 cents.

Fountain leaders have cxprc.s-scd an Intcre.st In having small indu.strlcs that would fit Into the community life. At present a branch of Superior Stone Is supplemented by an operating Wayne Peed Mill.

The Board of Zoning Adjustments for the Dty of Greenville was established here just after the establishment of the City Planning and Zoning Commission as an appellate Imrd to the Conmiis.*;ion.

In theory and in actuality, the Board is designed to hear and act on appeals made to . it by citizens who are caused hardships by the city zoning code or the building inspectors cfusal to issue a building permit.

Dr. Jamc.s Butler of East Carolina College, who Is prc.scntly sci-vlng as chairman of the adjustment loard explains it thi.s way: If a man living In a residential .section of town ha.s a .small flower shop in his home, which was establl.shcd before any zoning ordinances and he wishes to improve the shop by construction, he would apply for a building permit and might possibly be denied the permit.

In such a case, the man w'ould appear before the board and explain his situation and the board would decide what Is to be done.i Board Members Serving on the present board are, in addition to Dr. Butler, Thomas Webb, Joseph M. Drc.s-back, and Milton C. Williamson. R. S. Mo.ve, who had been serving on the board, recently resigned . nd has not been replaced.

According to Butler, it is the Board's duty to act In the best interest of public health, safety and welfare of the City of Green-vlllc and he testifies that t h e board has done Just that since its^ establishment,

ECC Station

One of the most recent occasions for the board to act came in March of 1963 with the proposed construction of a new post office on 10th Street to aid tht main station in its postal operations.

The building, which was built by Van Fleming and MoiTis Brody, waa^^proved by the building inspector but several residents appealed to the Board, saying that the construction violated the zoning ordinance.

The board upheld the decision of the building ln.spcctor. a de-ci.slon that held up through several court battles.

Has Performed Ai Service

FLYNN CHRISTIAN HOME . . . has a vary Important placa In tha community. By providing homalast alcoholic man with a homa In a Chriitlan atmotphara, many ara lad on tha long path of rahabllitatlon.

There are nine Flynn Chriatlan FeUowship Homes In North Carolina: and, sponsored by the na-tioiial organization of Flynn Homes, there are some 25 other homes operating hi the eastern part of the nation.

One of those homes is In Green-, ville.

It opened a little over a year and one-half ago, and shice that time, the Greenville Flynn Home has been host to more than 70 men. Nearly half that number left the home with a firm foot forward on the road to rehabilitation.

These men were all alcoholics; the men who are there now are

alcoholics; and those who will enter the home in the future will be alcoholics.

But they have more than that In common; they are drawn to-RcUier in their search, often in vain, for the answer to a common problem. And most of them have no other recourse, no where else to turn.

The solution to their drinking problem is no easy one. In fact, muCh determination on the part of the individual is necessary before he Is allowed to enter, for no drinking is permitted In the hrme. and no one is allowed to eitipr who has been drinking.

The men work, either in the home or in other jobs in the city, and pay $15 a week for room and board if able. They enter or leave the home entirely of their own volition.

As long as they remain, their only obligations are tp^ keep sober, work if they can, and attend regular meetings of Alcoho-lic.'i Anonymous.

Herman J. Willem, better known to the men at the home and to his other friends as Curley Is the manager of the home. Himself a reformed alcoholic. Curley accepts no salary for his work.

Hls therapy is simple; provide

a rehabilitation program for alcoholics and homeless men amid clean surroundings, sober companionship, good food, fellowship and a Christian atmos-plwre.

Curley shows them that someone, he and the board directors of the home, cares enough to help. He knows there is no cure for alcoholism, but he also knows that an alcoholic can quit drinking and need never drink again.

Curley has done just that and through his work at the Flynn Home is helping others do the same.

Curley describes himself as just a spoke in the wheel. A 15-member board of directors is also responsible for the homes continued existence. They are:

Mrs. Lee Hannah, Hubert Roberts, John Proctor, W. S. Host, Austin Britt, Mrs. S. M. Crisp, T. I. Wagner, Bobby Gaylord, Harold Blake, Herbert Proctor, Dr. E. B. Aycock, Mrs. W. F. Young, Rev. John Drake, and Rev. William Quick

The home is sustained by donations, and some appropriations, and is not a profit - making organization. Nobody makes any money from its operation, and nobody wants to.

As long as it continues to provide the service it does for Greenville service which has , grown to considerable proportions in its short history the Plynn , Christian Fellowship Home c|n be considered a landmark in the road of progress of the city.

Pitt Development Commission Is Bringing Results

Winlerville Has Had Long Role In Field Of Education

The Pitt County D^elopmont Commission during its six years of activation has witnessed a substantial growth in the economic Ufe of the County.

Created by .^ special act of the legUlature in 1950, it was activated in February. 1950. The present executive' director. Dr. C. Sylvester Oreen, came to this post, January 1, 1961.

During its six years, Pitt County has added 16 new Industries with an initial investment in excess of $13 millions. There have been 20 Industrial expansions, with an Investment of $6JI mil-lions plus.

This economic growth has resulted in an Increased tax base for the county of approximately $9.3 milUons, and an immediate additional annual tax income of $124,000. More than 1200 new jobs have been created in Industries in the county.

Although no definite announcements have been confirmed, there are projected new and expanded Industrial developments totaUng approximately $2.8 millions, much of which is expected during 1965.

The County Development Commission has had full cooperation of aU parte of the County. Farm-vlUe, the first city of its size in the entire United States to have its own Development office and executive, has chalked up an astounding record of growth

through the ParmvUle Economic Council, and its director, T.W. WilUs,

Each of the other communities of the County has a local industrial committee, and all of these committees work 1 n g through the Pitt County Devel-c/pment Commlssloo are attracting many industrial pimpects to the county.

The" Commission is composed of the following appointed by the Pitt Cointy Board of County Commlsslcmers; Leonard P. Bio-xam, Greenville, chairman; Corey Stokes, Ayden, vice chair-Rum; D. R. House, Jr., Pactol-us, secretary: Norman R. Wooten, Ballards Crossroads, treasurer; Frank K. Allen, FarmvUle; R. E. Boyd. WlntervlUe; J. B. Congleton Jr., Stokes; Dal Cox. GreenvUle; James J. Edwards, Ayden; W. Leslie Elks, Grimes-land; Wiley A. Gaskins, GrU-ton; Floyd P. Harris, Belvolr; J. M. Horton. Fountain; Robert Lee Humber, Greenville, R. P. Michaels, Bethel; J. Alan Parker, Falkland; and J. Vance Perkins, Greenvle.

Regular meetings of the Commission are held on the third Wednesday evening of each mcmth.

Indten Town

That the Indian was quite familiar with what is now Pitt

County is attested to by the artifacts found in the area.

It is said there was an Lidian town just above the junction of Swift Creek and Clayroot Swamp.

Town of Catechna

The Indian town of Catechna la said to have been located about four miles nortti of Grlf-Um on Contentnea Creek. Here, John Lawson, historian and surveyor General of Col<Milal North Carolina was executed on Sept. 20, 1711 by the Tuscarora Indians.

Pitt County, or most of It was once a part of the Granville District.

WIN'TERVILLE The first secondary school In Pitt County was in reality a co-educatlonal boikrding school founded here in tho early liOOa-^hi WinterviUe Academy.

Today, one ci the oldest buildings on the school grounds, the old administrative building erected In 1919, continues to house elementary school classes here.

TTie academy stood on land donated by Dr. B. \ Cor and A.G. Cox.'.They gave a four acre lot for a school to the Neuse Bap-ttet Assoeiatton and the academy became one of 3 Baptist secondary schools in North Carolina.

An old report shows that in 19i8 there were 216 students enrolled in the school ishere. Most of them were from Eastern North Carolina.

The old academy conslstcd of ; four frame buildings, the acade- my classroom building, a girls ! dorm and two boys dorms. The ! report Indicates there were 1,400 ; volumes In the schools Ubrary.

The curriculum included courses in Latin, Greek, French and English. There were also astronomy, music, algebra, geometry and physics for the board 1 n g students.

Li 1902 students were boarded at $7.00 per month. The charge Included room and fuel.

Fees for a flve-montb term were $17.50 for attending classes, $12.50 for music, and $14^^ for books.

Wake Forest College granted an annual scholarship to a male graduate who scored highest on a competitive examination.

Second Charter A secwid school charter declared that it was unlawful to make or sell intoxicating liquors within three miles of tte school.

Today only two buildings of the old academy remain, the rest were destroyed by fire after whic.i Pitt County took over the school system operation in Win-terviUe.

The present high school building was occupied in 1935. It Is one of seven buildings located on the grounds.

By the end of this year a new gymnasium, now under construction, should become the eighth structure says principal Blanle A. Moye.

Moye said that in the early

I920s tlw cuniculiim bagaa to develop toward the iorm It ha today. He noted that after about

1925 vocaticmal coursei In itrl-culture and borne ecooomles were added and typing became the first of a series of biiataese

courjes during the 1930s.

Today the broadened program is oriented more toward college-preparatory study, Moye said.

V/e arc fairly well equipped l> English, social studies ind mathematics, but still do not have all that could be useful, he asserted.

The curriculum includes math-, emattcs, algebra and contempor-i ary geometry. There are four ; levels of English in addition to i two recently added sections of remedial Ekiglish.

. In the social studies the schow , offers all the basic courses and includes a recently added course I in American Government that la broader In scope than civics which tends to deal more with : local government, Moye aald.

Enrollment Steady

He went on to say that there had been -bout 775 students en-rt.lled each year ir the laat decade ani this enrollment has been fairly steady in Wlntervllle.

There are 31 teachers working with this student body, and thla Includes a fuU-Ume mualc teacher which Wlntervllle has had for the last 15 years.

Mwe estimated that from 40

gar cent to 80 pgr mm el thi gealori go ( to egilige from tm ebool here. Many el tlM otheii ge on to tiiiiMiiegl or tradt ieboote. iiid tlili loor many hawe plans to%ake additional cours In the PMi Teeimical Institute* according to a recent survey.

Moye said that in the last flee years he has eeen a marked change in student attitudes to waic* school they are more serious about study.

Moye indicated that some of tbi reason behind this shift in attl> *> tude could be attributed to Uto tremendous publicity given to education through the various newe media that creates a greattr awareness of the need for cducp> tion.

The students seem to woik much harder now and t b e re aeem to be fewer dlsciplln ary problems. This publicity is on t the best things that happened to educatlwi todayI can see tbi results of it here.

Moye noted that East CarolliA. Ccdleges ir.flufnaa and growth bere has augmtnted thg develop-ment oi this new atHtiidt amoag his studenU, and tereatta thg Pitt Technicgl Institute gg having a glinUar effect hi trade areae.

the idea of distribution... a story of one firms contribution the development of an areaCAROLINA SALES CORPORATION

CAROLINA SALES CORPORATION ORIGINAL LOCATION THIRD AND COTANCHE STS. 1929 TO 1942

NEW PARTS BUILDING CAROLINA SALES CORPORATION GREENVILLE, N. C.

1927 196S

Carolina Sales Corporation was orij^inaHj organized as the Carolina Kelvinator Corporation, Incorporated, in January 1929 for the purpose of distributing Kelrinator electric refrigerators in thirty-four counties in Eastern North Carolina. Its original personnel consisted of a combination General Manager and territory Salesman mow its President); an office girl as Secretary and Bookkeeper; a Shipping Clerk who substituted as a Janitor; and a combined Mechanic-Service Manager

As we look back through this period of twenty-five years, just as the evolution of home appliances has influenced the trend of our homes of today, so Carolina Sales Corporation reviews its history on its Twenty-fifth Birthday.

In 1930 the original distribution area was expanded to Include fifty-six counties in North Carolina and thirty-six counties in South Carolina. Recognizing the trend towards the use of home appliances, such products as radios, electric ranges, washing machines, space heaters, water heaters, home freezers, air conditioners and televisions were progressively added to provide an overall distribution service to the dealer organization. Accordingly, to permit a better applicability, the cmnpany name was changed to Carolina Sales Corporation on January 1, 193&.

The financial statements and sales charts covering this twenty-five year period shew the figurative growth of the company but not its physical growth. r

From one small buHding staffed by four persoijis, distributing one product in thirty-four counties, the companys operations have been expanded to:

1. Distribution of twenty-three major products in eighty-two counties in Eastern North and South Carolina.

2. A subsidiary company with an annual sales volume of approximately $5,000,000.00

3. A fully operating branch office in Columbia, South Carolina.

4. A full branch office of Refrigeration Discount Corporation e***" ploying approximately thirty persons serving exclusively the distribution area of Carolina Sales Corporation.

5. A modem building to house the Parts and Commercial Departments at Greenville, North Carolina.

f. Under construction at Greenville, North Carolina, a new capacious building for General Offices and quarters for ReDfsCo.

7. Present personnel consists of ten District Managers for major appliances, three District Managers for C^ommercial and Parts Department, three Service Representatives under the administration of five Sales Department Heads. Six Administrative Department Heads have under their direction thirty-four persons.

Carolina Sales Corporation, through its original assosciation with Philco Corporation as a radio distributor in 1931, formed in 1936 a subsidiary company known as Commonwealth Sales Corporation to distribute Philco products in the Richmond, Virginia area. Later the territory of the subsidiary company was extended to include the Norfolk, Virginia area and those North Carolina counties

formerly served by the parent company on PhUco products. On

January 1, 1954 for the purpose of consolidation and better coor^na-tion with the Parent Company, Commonwealth Sales Corporation will become the exclusive distributor for Kelvinator and Leonard products in 68 counties in the State of Virginia. Commonwealth Sales Corporation, although a wholly-owned subsidiary company, is staffed by separate sales and operational personnel with Executive Management of tbe parent company maintaining corporate and supervisory functions. The growth and progress of Commonwealth Sales Corporation is evidenced by comparison of sales volume of $4,746,516.32 obtained in 1952 as compared with $184,058.72 in its first year.

Every business has its important decision points or crises and as an appliance distributor, Carolina Sales Corporation has had its share. While space will not permit a full record, the following three incidents stand out in its history as being the most significant:

1. Its original establishment in 1929 (previously described).

2. The War Period 1942-1945. Inasmuch as aH products sold were of metal vital to our defense, the company faced in 1942 a decision of major importance. Believing in the ultimate success of our armed forces and the future of America, the company determined to continue in business until operating losses exceeded $50,000.00. It is gratifying to report that without release of a single employee, war requirements for civilian and military needs reduced personnel to a minimum level and that through

the sales and service of priority products to defense installations, the nucleus organization was maintained during the war ( period without an operating loss. This accomplishment, unexpected and unforeseen, is indicative of the flexibility and ingenuity of the company and its personnel.

3. Disaster. On Saturday night, February 3, 1951, the general offices at Greenville were completely destroyed by fire with a total loss of all furniture and fixtures, office supplies and all records except corporate and general ledgers contained in safes. On Monday morning, February 5, the general offices of Candna Sales Corporation were opened at 9:00 AJH. in eight rooms of the Proctor Hotel, answering the same telephone number as on the previous Saturday. With forms from ths Columbia branch office, and with borrowed desks and equipment, essential bnsi-ness and shipments from our public warehouse were continued and processed as usual. One week later, on Monday,^ February 12, aK departments were located in adequate interim quarters fully provided with equipment and all printed forms for normal business operations. These remarkable results and continued uninterrupted service to our dealer organization were posidble largely because of the quality of the personnel of Carolina Sales Corporation. This amazing and almost impossible achievement is indicative of the calibre of this organization to meet and overcome disaster and emergency.

In its early stages, the Management of Carolina Sales Corporation recognized that its interests were closely correlated with one of ihe fundamental principles of American life, the continued advancement of the standard of living of the home. Products distributed contribute to this fundamental factor In health, convenience, efficiency, economy and pleasure. Carolina Sales Corporation in Its twenty-five years of distribution service to its dealers has recognlMd that such an opportunity carried also a responsibility to serve and protect the mutual interests of the manufacturer, the distributor, the dealer and the retail purchaser. The Management of Carolina Sales Corporation, and its personnel believes sincerely and honestly that this precept and principle applied to future opportunities will obtain for the company and its associated dealers a continued piuffress and success that win be mutually pleasant and profltabla.
