FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1944 Waste Paper Needed The need for waste paper is "as critical as ever" and every effort will be made to increase waste paper col lection and pulp production in order to meet the requirements of the emergency. S. G. Stevenot, president of a pulp company, points out that one-half of the entire paper output is consumed in packaging material for food, ma chines and material shipped over seas. Wood pulp is used in the manufacture of half of our smokeless powder and the diversion of pulp and its products to military uses explains the shortage of paper for civilian use and emphasizes the necessity of con tinuing the drive to collect waste paper. , We report these facts in order to encourage citizens of Perquimans County to continue the efforts to conserve paper and to collect used paper for future use. The waste paper campaign strengthens the war effort and tends to relieve the short age of packaging material for the home front. ! Very shortly, now, the Wm. Paul St al lings Post of the American Le gion will conduct a waste paper drive and it is the hope of this newspaper that every person residing in the county will aid in the collection by saving and contributing waste paper to the Legionnaires. Overseas Christmas Mail For Boys The Post office Department reminds Americans that Christmas packages for Army and Navy personnel over seas must be mailed between Sep tember 15th and October 15th. Because of the importance of get ting mail to our service men, we call attention to the reminder of Postmaster-General Frank C. Walker, who urges that these rules be1 care fully followed: 1 Addresses of the sender and addressee should be written inside the package as well as on the out side, to assure delivery in case the outside wrapper is lost. 2 Containers made of metal, wood or fibre board are preferable. 3 Parcels . must not exceed five nounds, nor be more than 15 inches long or 36 inches in length and girth combined. 4 "Christmas Parcel" should be marked plainly on the outside and package should be carefully packed, wrapped and securely tied. 5 Perishable goods, intoxicants, t n ,1 a m m Kin n, n4 a n I ,4 ...... tkin ,,,,,u,i,i,,uu,t uiabcuaio auu all V blllllM , that may damage not be sent. other mail must Cheap Air Rates Something of an idea of post-war travel by air is seen in the an nouncement by Pan-American World Airways that it will sponsor a low cost, high-speed air transportation route between the United States and Latin America. Appealing to the "average man and his family," the program includes long-distance passenger rates as low as three and one-half cents a mile for space in reclining seats on "ex press" flights, compared to the pres ent average of eight and three- fourths cents. The schedule would" cut the present fare from New York to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from $4?1 to $175, and the elapsed time from 66 hours to 46 hours. . It remains to be seen, whether these rates, which re lower than present steamship fares, will attract enough business to make them pro fitable. After all, not many Ameri cans have business in Latin America flnH f Vl pro nrilt Ka fhnli, a limit aA mim- ..... v . ber able to pay several hundred dol- lars for a round trip ticket regard-' less of the cheanness of the trin r-r mile.

Meant to thank you before, but stayed pretty busy getting ready for the big jump. I landed in France at 12:60 a. m., June 6th. For awhile things were pretty hot, but I got by O. K. Tin back in England now, and had a nice pile ot Perquimans Weeklies waiting here, so I have spent most ox trie afternoon reading tnem. It is "really nice to read about all the people back home. Haven't seen any boys from Hertford over here but am on the lookout Well, keep the Weekly coming and tell the folks hello for me. Be seeing you soon, Al Ward Hello Max: A year ago when I. left Hertford (V. C. I hear that word dajiy noW)i DUt always Hertford, Eng- land), I never thought I'd eventually end up in the United Kingdom. In one short sentence I can convey my ; feeling, I am terribly disappointed in the English people, their country ia very beautiful though, Max. I I want to thank yoji and the Hert tora uanKing company lor me paper ; wnicn luiu receive uiilii reccnuy auu which I hope 1 shall be receiving again soon. Believe me, I enjoy the Perquimans Weekly very much I sincerely thank those responsible for ...v teiung tne paper. Your friend, Jesse Lee Harris Dear Sir: I enjoy the Perquimans Weekly very much, and I want to thank the bank for sending it to me. I enjoy reading it a lot. Tell all the girls and boys I said hello. I will be glad when the war is over so I can come back home again, and so all the boys can come back home for good. I will close now. Jack Hoffler Dear Editor: I have been receiv your mos-t . e'come p;iper n"v for some time and I want you to know that I highly appreciate it.

Have found out where manv of the Perquimans boys are located by reading your paper and I now look forward for each copy of it. I have been out of the States for about 20 months and have seen many I parts of England, Africa and Italy. In that time I have seen no place that will compare with the old home town of Hertford, and Perquimans County. My greatest desire now is for the day when I can return home and enjoy the pleasures of that much loved country. I know now that 'hen someone, said "there's no place like home", he surely was not lying I sincerely wish to express my thanks to the Hertford Banking Co. fr their thoughtfulness, . who - has made it possible for me to receive the Perquimans Weekly. Gestures like that are a great boost to . our morale who are so far from home at the fact that most of the Seine bridges except at Parishave been destroyed. The implication is that the Germans will be unable to get what armor and supplies they , have wed from Ndrmandy '. acroas'the j . rr . . rlv" u,.,u" i l?PnaB "hould not be placed on thu) ,actor ,n rapidly , shifting military picture. 1 The Seine below Paris is a river I of only moderate size. Under air attack it may hamper the Germans, but 7 will-' certainly not' etoo them. or win n anora tnerav a sure 'mew i line may never again, be formed.' " THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY.

May the day soon come when we will all be together again. William Hobbs Hello, Max: I have been receiving your paper each week and I sure want to thank the person or persons responsible for sending it to me. It sure helps me keep up with the news back in good Old Perquimans County. I sure do miss the good friends that I have back in Hertford. I have been keeping up with the theatre ads each week. We sttll have the best shows that are being released. We have a theatre next to the barracks that I stay in. . . I sure miss the theatre and the friends very much. I don't have very far to go to see a show. Thanks again lor the paper. Yours verv truly, GIBBS. (B. Littleton Gibbs.) Dear Editor: I have been receiving The Per quimans Weekly regularly since coming to Oklahoma and I want you and all others ilncerned to know that I greatly appreciate it. I look forward every Tuesday to mai, and my perJuimans Week ly just as a letter from friends at j home, because it brings me news of the activities of my favorite town and community. I like to read of the USO activi ties, and to those concerned who are making that possible, "Carry on! The USO. has helped us a lot. It is truly a home away from home." I'll be leaving here soon, but re member friends, I enjoy the home town news and if it's a new address that is required, 111 be writing again. Thanks! ARCHIE RIDDICK. Dear Editor; Just to say hello and we are hoping that Hertford is still the same. By we I mean two home town boys, Roy Rogerson and Kete Howell. We have been looking for each other siace Anzio. And one day we knmiuH nto each other. What a surprise that was to see .i...,,t somebody from home. When we got back to camp we had another nice surprise. We had two nice new Per quimans Weeklies. Boy did we enjoy i? . ii i . . I reaaing aDoui tne people at nome, and talking about old times together. And we want to thank you for the papers; we both have been getting them regular. We had a nice' day together talking over our experienl ces. We have had some pretty tough times, but I think that Raymond had ' the toughest time of them all.? But in everthing that we did we - came through without a scratch, which we are thankful for, and we both! hope .hat we won't have to go through .ny thing like we , have in the" past .7e start to go in with the infantry, although we don't leave ' the beach. But we are with the boys all the way. We hit when it's a .little hoVi then the infantry " pushes on and softens up the others, and when they . are urough with them they are ' really softened up. The infantry doesn't get half as much credit as, they de erve, and as for the Beach Bat alien, well; the Coast Guard and CB's get; all the credit - ' ' So as a perfect day ends, we will close.
