AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LAW
ENFORCING OFFICERS .
With the District Conference for
the instruction of law enforcement
officers 6 be held only twelve miles
away, far Edenton, every single officer
of Perquimans County, including of
course, the town officers, should make
every effort to attend.
This is the first time in history
that any such, gathering has been
planned for the instruction of town
and county officers of North Carolina.
The announcement Is' made...,thatf
the conference is beitf : vnrfangedl
through ithe Law. . E&orcMgOlffifeft
Division, of the . Institute of Govern
ment k the leaders of city, county,
State and federal officers . in North
Carolina, plans for which were adopt
ed at the State-wide School of Law
Enforcing Officers held at Chapel
Hill laatsiwmer. . .
That among tfte topics for instate
tion and discussion at the conference
in Edenton' are rules of evidence, ar
rests, searches and seizures, inveati
gations, preparation of cases for
trial, and others, ought to appeal to
any person in any way connected
with County or town government
Certainly there are many things
the officers should learn. This is no
reflection on officers who have had
no opportunity before to receive first
hand instruction in the duties of
their various offices, and it is a fact
that this matter of instructing law
enforcement officers in the duties of
their office has been sadly neglected
in the past. It is gadly true that in
too many cases the officer has not
been sufficiently interested in the
matter to attempt to find out for
himself the things he should know.
The county or town officer who is
really intesestei in bis job and who
wants to make a success of, it and
who is conscientiously trying to fill
his office with credit will attend this
conference in Edenton and learn
everything he can about the duties
of his office, and will follow it up by
cooperating when the time comes to
hold the schools of law enforcement
-in the county. .
Crime prevention and highway
' safety are the primary objects back
Of this movement on the part of the
Institute, of Government. Both are
timely objectives. Every worthy
citizen in the land is interested in
this matter. That the first step is
to instruct law enforcement officers
in the duties of their office is obvious.
The law enforcement body must be
Intelligent if it is to be efficient
Every", town and county officer in
the entire district should attend this
important conference. Perquimans
County .and Hertford officers cannot
afford to miss the opportunity.
ACTION IN ADVERTISING
(From The Book & Shoe Recorder)
"Advertising is the very life blood
of trade; without it there could be
no momentum, no speed of turnover
upon which both employment and
profits depend." John Benson.
a. Advertising is probably the least
understood and the most underesti
mated of all the major economic
forces.
And yet, Advertising is largely re
sponsible for our high standard of
living. j
Advertising tells 'the world about
new thidgsi and. new uses for things.
Advertising stimulates the imagi
nation and creates the desire to
possess, i
Advertising creates energy in that

"Snake Oil," is said to have aided
"Dr. Buzzard" in his escape from the
chain gang.
"Dr. Buzzard," alias C. A. Jordan,
was serving a term on the Williams
ton Chain Gang for practicing mod
icine without a license in Perquimans.
Incidentally, it was the intention of
the officers to have : "Dr. Buzzard"
returned to Peri&ifeajuTlor this term
of Superior Court, where he was
'charged with obtaining under false
pretense.
But last week, according to the in
formation received in Hertford, the
quack doctor -was not welL He com
plained of suffering terribly with his
back. Relief was sought in "Snake
Oil." He rubbed the back well that
night with the liniment, which has a
peculiarly pungent odor. That night
he saturated his shoes well with the
odoriferous oil. Later on, when the
opportunity arose, he quietly slipped
away from the camp, and blood
hounds were unable to catch the
scent of "Dr. Buzzard." The high
smelling "Snake Oil" had done it's
work well.
That barbecue pit the Rotarians
are talking about building sounds
interesting, doesn't it?
Carl Rogers, the Perquimans Coun
ty High School Athletic Coach, said
the boy had "split vision." And Mr.
Rogers was delighted. It seems that
a football player who is endowed with
this ability to see, not only objects
straight ahead, hut those both to the
left and to the right of him at the
.same, time, has a great advantage
over the boy with ordinary vision.
The remark of Coach Rogers was
passed on. The boy had "split vis
ion." It reached the ears of the
boy's sister eventually. It sounded
pretty awful to the girl, "split vis
ion." "Hurt in the eye!" she ex
claimed. "I knew he was going to
get hurt if he kept on playing foot
ball."
HALLOWE'EN PARTY ENJOYED
BY WHITESTON YOUNG FOLKS
Mrs. D. A. Winslow entertained
her Sunday School class at a Hal
lowe'en party at her home at Whites
ton Saturday afternoon. Games and
music were enjoyed, after which the
children were lined up and told to
march into the dining room, where
ice cream and Jack'olantern cookies
were served. The dining room was
attractively decorated with autumn
leaves and fall flowers. On the table
as a center-piece was a Jack'olan
tern cut from a huge pumpkin, all
lighted with candles, setting on a
green hill which arose from an au
tumn landscape. A small window
scene of autumn branches ' behind
which was an old witch chasing a
black cat, caused much merriment.
Mrs. Winslow told the children a
story while they enjoyed the refresh
ments. Those present were: Cathe
rine White, of Hertford; Barbara
Winslow, Lin a Winslow, Hilton
White, Clinton R. Winslow, Ernest
M. Winslow, Quincy Riddick, George
Riddick, Seldon Rountree, Carlton

,'Tbe Perquimana , Indians .dropped
their ' aecond grid ' encounter with
Lewiston at Lewiston last Friday.
The score .was. 24-18 .. inr Lewiston's
favor.. The local team played .well
but were enable to stop the hard
driving Lewiston eleven. The. Indians
were able to pile : up a couple of
touchdowns and ..one extra point
against their opponents. ' 1
By the way, ample transportation
was provided for the football players
on Friday. . ' v
. The Perquimans' High plays a re

ple of weeks ago the Indiana put up
a good fight against the; Oceana
eleven. " ' " .
The Indians will be out there Fri
day in full force, after the scalps of
the boys from Oceana. Take them
on for a little ride, boys. , '
The Edenfbn eleven and the Eliza
beth City High football teams meet
in a conference clash Friday at
Edenton. This should prove a very
interesting game. Each team is
sure of taking the bacon home.
Edenton has not lost a game this
year, although the . boys played a
scoreless tie with Roanoke Rapids, in
Koanoke Kaplan. . last -Friday, in a
conference battle.
The game should be plenty good.
Wonder if Edenton will keep her
undefeated record.
The teachers took a 21-to 20
basketball game from the "Hi Y"
girls last Thursday.
The teachers' team was not made
up entirely of teachers, but several
outsiders, at well as students who
were not ' members of the "Hi Y"
.team played for the teachers.
The game was "very close and the
teachers did not score but 2 points
in tne first half, but came up from
behind to run up 19 points in the
last quarter to top the 20 points run
up oy tne "Hi y team. ,
Blanche Everett starred for the
teachers, making several fine shots.
From the looks of the playing in
the teachers Snd the "Hi Y" affair
on Thursday,- it would seem that the
