Cancer Crusade To

Monday, April 17
The sound of ringing doorbells

Volunteers of the Perquimans
County unit of the American
Cancer Society will call on

to distribute educational leailetsi.

cording to Joseph H. Towe, Jr.,
chairman of the Perquimans:
County Cancer Crusade.
"I hope every door i.n the1
community will be open to wnl-

Towe said. "If everyone follow

cancer in the United

have been saved by heeding the

Mr. Towe said the best pro
tection against cancer was to
have annual health checkups
and to get speedy medical atten
tion at the earliest sign or sus
picion of any of cancer's seven
danger signals.
Pointing out that at least one
half of all those who get cancer
could be cured through early de
tection and proper treatment, Mr.
Towe said that the American
Cancer Society could make this
goal a reality if it had enough
funds to do the job. "The soci
ety was mainly responsible," he
said, for the dramatic rise in the
cancer cure rate. Twenty years
ago only one out of seven who
developed cancer was saved; to
day it is one out of three. With

Sheriff Recovers
Safe Stolen From
Store At New Hope
A safe weighing between 500
and 600 pounds stolen from the
Turner and Caddy store in New
Hope sometime Sunday night,
was recovered by Sheriff J. K.
White about neon Monday nea.r
Five Bridges in Parkville Town
ship, some 20 miles from the
scene of the thtft.
Sheriff White, assisted by SBI
Agent P. E. Epps, conducted a
wide search of all roads in New
Hope Township looking for
clues and the safe. It was fin
ally .discovered on a roadside in
the Parkville section of the
county.
Sheriff White reported the safe
had been opened, the thieves
ripped its bottom and chipped
out the concrete base to obtain
access to the contents of the safe,
which in addition to between
$200 and $300 in currency, con
sisted of valuable papers,;
checks and savings bonds. !
The sheriff reported all but
about $1.50 ot the money con
tained in the safe was missing
when it was recovered but most
of the papers were left by the
thieves. One $75 savings bond
was listed as missing, as was a
gold stamp worth $20. Forty
dollars in Boy Scout funds, kept
in the safe, was. also missing
when a check was made of .the
contents by Sheriff White end
Ervin Turner.
The officers said the robbery
occurred probably during or im
mediately following the rain
storm Sunday night The thieves
gained - entry'., into - the '. store
through a window and took the
safe from the building by way
of a rear door. Sheriff White
said at least two persons were
involved in the theft and that
they tumbled the safe from the
store for a distance of about 50
yards to either a station wagon
or truck.
He1 also stated it was believed
the theft was the work of people
who knew what they were do
ing, since the bottom of the safe
was ripped away to gain. entry
rather-than efforts being made
to open the safe door by its com
bination." U '

j County Commissioners meeting
' here Friday night in special ses
Ision with St3te Senator J. Em-
mett Winslow and Representative
'Archie T. Lane, . Sr., adopted
: resolutions requesting the local
legislators to introduce bills in
the General Assembly placing
iVrouinian3 County under a gen
eial rtatute which authorizes the
Commissioners to set fees col
lected by county offices and to
pay county officials salaries.
A second oill will call for au
thority to the county board to -set
up a tax department for Per
quimans County to replace the
present four tax collectors. This
department, headed by an em
ployee to be appointed by the
commissioners, would handle all
tax collections during the ysar.
In conference with county of
ficers, the commissioners agreed
such action called for by the
bills will beccme effective at the
conclusion of the present terms
of the various officers unless
ilherwi.se agieed to by the offi
cials. The bill pertaining to the
ax department, if ratified, will
oecome effective on the first
Monday in December, 1962.
The resolutions were given to
the legislators following a con
ference in which the commis
i'oners pointed out it was the dc
dre of the board to modernize
he fiscal operations of the Per
luimans County government,,
ind that the proposal had met
with agreement from the elective
officials who now receive com
pensation on a fee basis rather
than salary.
The commissioners pointed out
there has been no discussion con
cerning salaries to be set for
various offices but that a study
will be made -or other counties
to determine a fair and equit
able system to be installed in
Perquimans.
Soil Stewardship
Week Observance
Set For May 7-14
During the period May 7-14,
Soil Stewardship Week will be
observed in churches of all
faiths throughout the nation.
Soil Stewardship Week is spon
sored by the National- Associa
tion of Soil Conservation Dis
tricts. The 307 districts for
North Carolina, which include
every acre of privately owned
farm land from Manteo to Mur
phy, invite your special atten
tion to man's obligation to be h
good steward in his use of God's
gifts of soil, water, plants and
wildlife. '
The Soil Conservation District
supervisors of Perquimans Coun
ty are furnishing material on
Soil Stewardship Week to the
ministers in the county and ask
ing that they present this sub
ject to their congregation.
The good steward of the soil
seeks no ' quick gain from his
woik, nor temporary advantage.
Instead, he is motivated by con
sideratians of a different and
more lasting nature, the well-
being and regard of his family,
the improvement of the com
munity in which he lives with
his neighbors. and the knowl
edge that his aspiration and per
sonal standards of accomplish
ment must be tested over,, the -years
by his work in the fields
rnd in his community.
