The Navy Department, at the insistence of Carl Vinson (D-Ga) cnairman of the powerful Arm ed Services Committee, has an ;nounoe$lNa group of its senior people will make an inspection tour o Harvey Point base some time'? between now and May, I960,, to determine possible uses for the Site. It seems to us the Navy De partment has sufficient pictures and maps of this site, and knows the area well enough to deter mine a future use for the base upon.wich more than $10 mii- lions" has been spent during the past " three years. That is, if they actually want to utilize the site. ; . We are of the. opinion the Navy Department should know its present and future plans of operations and can well decide ' without further delay some use for Harvey Point. Just why thev deem it necessary for fur- ; ther 'surveys it not very clear ' to us.' . . The mannor in which the Navy has handled the Harvey Point project has confused the people of this area and it is difficult for them to understand .why expenditures of such huge sums of money are made with out eve putting the facility to some use. v We believe, in Us vast opera tions, the Navy can realize a use for this base and can make a decision without delaying tac tics. '., March, 1960 : March is a . turning - point month,- when Winter begins to give w.ay to warmer weather and the firs: si.ns of Spring ap pear. In early colonial days the year began in March. The name of the month comes from the name of Mars, which, in an cient Italian meaning, was the name for the God of War. March, of course, used to be the month of Inauguration Day, and on Mareh 4th for many years Presidents were inaugu rated. However, with the adop tion of the 20th Amendment in 1933 inaugurations have been held in January. ; ; ' The cotton gin was patented by . Eli Whitney of Massachu setts on March 14, 1894. The U. S. Military Academy at Weal Point, N. Y., was founded by Act of Congress on March 16, 1802, and St. Pat rick's Day is celebrated on Mai-ch 17, dating fdom the death of the patron saint of Ireland on March 17, 493. The month is the birthday anniversary of several Presi dents of the United States, among them being Grover Cleve land, the only man to serve two separated terms of office as President of the United States. Cleveland was born in Cald well, New Jersey, on March 18, 1837. March contains many other interesting historical days, March 19 being the birthday annivers ary of William Jennings Bryan and March 29 that of President John Tyler, tha tenth Presi dent of the United States. March 30 is known as Seward Day in Alaska, the anniversary of the day in 1868 when Rus sia ceded Alaska to the United States for $7,200,000. Accidents In The Home 'cidents occur in the bathroom m the home, and in the kitchen. But accidents occur in other places and usually they are at tributed .to carelessness, Safety authorities advise par ents and the heads of house holds to make a precautionary survey of : possibly dangerous conditions in the home at least once or twice a year.: If you will take this - advise and re move potential hazards for all members of the family, especi ally the young, you may well prevent a personal ; tragedy in your own home. 1 tmt v ,.;. n Letter To Editor r February 28, 1960. Dear Max: . . , .Congratulations to two of your advertisers in the February 26 issue of the Perquimans Week ly. The two ads were the Land ing Supply Company Blinking Light Endurance Contest a.nd the J. C. Blanchard & Company Hidden Alarm Clock Slle. These two sales promotion ideas were very good. I would like to see some of our other merchants nut on sale 'promotion ideas like this. I be lieve it will pay off and increase local shopping. Now that we have an active Chamber or rnmmprcp. I think imore ideas in sale promotions will come about. I would like to see the busi nesses on Church Street leave their window display lights on until 9 o'clock at night. I think this will help to liven up the shopping area and give our town a wide-awake appearance to people passing through Hertford. Very truly yours, CHARLIE SKINNER, JR.

Memory Selection: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." : (Psaimu 46.1) Lesson Text: Acts 22:36 Through 23:35. In today's lesson we will con sider how we can develdp inner resources that will give us the xtra fortification we need , for times of ..trouble and stress. ; Studying our text for today, we find that Paul, having de-j clared he was a Pharisee, ex-j pounds the doctrine that sever-1 ed them from the Sadducpe the resurrection of the - aead. The Sadducees were mainly of I me pnes uy uruci, iiu wciu wii the political side of Rome. Reading further, we learn of the plot to take Paul's life, and of t3 exposure by his nephew. Paul, in his religious teach-( ings, has much to tell us about I hardship and privation. In this instance Paul faced the threat, of ambush and death with two sources of security. The first was the Roman government and the Roman law. This wa.; a se- onritv i frrtn. withnnt nnrl Paul did not hesitate for one mo-1 ment to use it. The second 1 source of his security came from within. ; "The following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, , so you must bear witness also i at Rome." (Acts 23:11). Part of Paul's serenity certainly came from the fact that he took op-! position for granted and realiz ed, clearly, that "good" people; could do bad things: He was a realist about the road that Christians travel if they are to deal with controversial is sues. '.'v1-' . ' - ' - Another source of Paul's poise unquestionably came from thffi fact that he could understand! what motivated his enemies to such action. He himself had once felt as they felt; he had been a part of the' mob that killed Stephen. And another thing, he' knew that Jesus had faced a similar crisis without fear or bitterness. And, final ly, Paul was a realist about change. - Hp had grasped the redemptive drama that was tak ing , place; he believed devoutly that God was behind it all, and that whether he himself lived or died, the outcome would eventually , be the same. The story of the intended am bushing of Paul is as up-to-date today as the morning newspaper which reports1 1 Christians' :, .in Communist China going to pris on, and strife within denomi national circles. - We, as Paul, will find our se curity both from without and from within. The security from without will come from the law of the land, as did Paul's. The security from within will come, as it did with Paul, from loyal ty to and fellowship with Christ. It is only when one has lived in societies where there is no real legal protection that one re alizes how important our whole tradition of law is. The Chris tian should be the first one to stand behind the laws of the land. It is the foundation, and the only one, upon which justice can be built. . Education is, of I course, important; and public sentiment is necessary. : How ever, eventually it is a code of! recognized laws behind which the government will stand that protects us. Every man and woman . among us has a right i when 'dealing with controversial issues, to ask for the full pro tection of the law. . ' ' ; However, our ' security must come primarily from . within. We sometimes tend to forget this. , We, as was Paul, ;,must be realistic i about the Toad that the Christian churches travel if they are to stand for anything. The powerful forces of organiz ed selfishness,, pride, lust,1 Hate, and envy certainly do exist. There is no' denying that.' If you doubt their existence for one instance, all' you have' to do is to . try to d something about them. Their response will be instantaneous , J - We mustj however, alsq be realistic about ourselves. , t One of the most distressing ' things that has hurt many Christians who took a stand on any issue is the fact that Very; olfterf it is the "feood people even cjiurch people who are unfair and un- .

Tit ? 4 a r u u ' 'i'm&mjr t A child's faith is beautiful in its sim plicity and in the little things it encom passes. Like, for instance, the nightly ritual that comes at the end of prayer. , "God bless Mommy and Daddy and Cousin Peter and Kitty Kat and my blue teddy bear.", To a child, there is no reason why God should not bless also a ' crumpled and slightly soiled teddy bear, and a pet kitty. For God is goodness and love and kindness and tolerance . . . not perhaps in those words, but in the feeling this child has as she says her prayers. . v Prayer, to the child who has been taught to pray, is a natural thing. . It should be as much a part of everyday life ; as eating and sleeping 'and playing. To, pray for what is good ... to give thanks for what one has is an all-important step in that all-important right direction on, the road of life. v . Ctftn'ti' IMt. Xtlilit Air.
