TEST YOUR SINCERITY: If ye
be risen with Christ, seek those
things which are above, where Christ
sitteth on the right hand of God.
Col. 8:1.
Don't Lag
The people of Perquimans should
not lag in the War Fund Campaign
now under way by the American
Red Cross. The drive to raise thirty
six hundred dollars in this county l
but a small sum compared to the
vast amount needed by the Red
Cross to see that every possible aid
is rendered American boys and girls
in the Armed services.
The amount requested by the Red
Cross this year is actually only two
thirds as much as was subscribed by
the public in response to a similar
request in 1918.
The Red Cross appears in the dis
tinguished role of one seeking noth
ing for itself; all that it wants is
the funds with which to render great
service to those who fight for our ex
istence as a free people. .
Every reader of The Perquimans
Weekly, we believe, will anxiously
seek the privilege of participating in
the splendid work of this great or
ganization of mercy. To do so is to
acknowledge not so much its service
as the debt we owe heroic men of
this nation, - engaged in desperate
battle against the enemy.
Let's not lag in this drive . . . the
local workers are now busy canvass
ing the county for its quota . . . .

boys in uniform may have better care

I Farms To Produce
'Home Foods
During the first three weeks in
March, an effort will be made to
urge the women who live on the na
tion's farms to produce as much of
their heme food supply as possible.
The Department of Agriculture
hopes to persuade every rural family
to produce about a ton of the right
kinds of food for every member of
the family, with major emphasis upon
the canning of not less than one
hundred quarts of fresh fruits and
vegetables for each member of the
family.
The victory home food supply pro
gram will also urge farm families to
make provisions for an ample supply
of milk, chickens for eggs and meat
and other home-grown meats and
food crops for family use.
If 30,000,000 farm people secure
their food by following the program
suggested, a tremendous stock of food
will be released for war needs. In
addition, the farm families will great
ly improve their health through pro
per diet
George Ade
likes The Present
George Ade, famous playwright,
whose "Fables in Slang," were
"must" reading some years ago, re
cently observed his seventy-seventh
birthday and took time out for a few
remarks.
"You can have the good old days,"
he declared. "I'm perfectly content
to be living in the present, even with
rationing and the war."
The humorist speaks of the mar
vels wrought by science during the
last few decades, attesting, "I was
born the year after the Civil War
ended. That makes me practically
pre-historic so I ought to know."
He also points out that people-today
are more tolerant and better
sports than they used to be "We
never thought of cheering the opposi
tion," he explained. "We used to
throw rocks at them."
' He points out that people were
pretty primitive in his early days,
citing the fact that he used to wear
a bag of asafoetida around his neck
to keep well and that babies chewed
bacon jind when they were teething.
"Doctors' prescriptions were' limited
to calomel, quinine and morphine,"
and grown men carried "buck-eyes"
in .their pockets to ward off rheu
matism. Mr. Ade's observations ought to
help Some Americans to conclude
that the nation and its people are
making progress. He finds our
"young soldiers inspiring," and judgr
G A N 6
ing from his interview, he has no idea
that the human race is going to the
dogs.
The Big Task Remains
American military authorities have
pointed out that Rommel's push to
ward Tebessa was a relatively small
show which might delay but would
not prevent an Allied clean-up of
Tunisia. Their warning was useful
in checking excessive discouragement
over American reverses; it has the
same utility in connection with the
tendency toward excessive elation
over present successes. The Kasser
ine Pass isn' t any bigger in victory
than in defeat.
Naturally the American people are
pleased that their raw forces in
Africa are proving that they can
stand up to Rommel's veterans. The
evidence not only that the men
fought with seady courage but that
some commanders displayed skill In
the new art of tank war is gratify
ing. The lift to morale from meet
in gthis test may make the action
more important psychologically than
the number of men or the territory
involved would normally make it.
But it is wise to keep some per
spective. The British-American counter
attack appears to have broken Rom
mel's drive and to have inflicted
sharp losses. But so far these do not
equal the losses sustained by the
Allies, and the Nazis still hold air
bases and tanks captured last week.
The Allies, originally thrown off
balance by Rommel's thrust, gather
ed themselves, tossed in planes of all
types and kinds to dominate the air
in a limited area and really smashed
the Axis spearhead. But only a
small portion of the forces on either
side were engaged. Rommel 1 gained
time for consolidating the main
German-Italian position in Tunisia.
Despite glowing headlines, the task
of ousting him remains as onerous
as before. Christian Science Monitor.

Announcer:
There's one fact about proper car
that always seems to puzzle people: That
is the fact that the less you run your car,
the more it needs lubrication service at
regular intervals. "But my car has just
been resting in the garage most of the
time," they say. "It hasn't had a chance
to use up its grease!" The secret is,
greases are really built -for action. They
deteriorate through lack of use. When
your car stands idle the lubricants dry out
and harden. Moisture, separating out,
causes rust encouraging destructive
wear. Under present curtailed driving
conditions, your car needs an oil change
and a fresh lubrication job every 60 days
at least. Your Pure Oil Dealer stands
ready to serve you with correct, fresh
chassis lubricants now, and to help you
give your car all the extra care today's
unusual .driving conditions demand. Make
it a car-conserving habit to stop for this
service regularly at the big, blue-and-white
