The Hurricanes
Now that the hurricane season
is here, a few general obser
vations about hurricanes -can
be offered. For one thing, hurri
canes give plenty of warning,
and there Is little excuse tor
anyone losing their life in a
hurricane these days.
The tornado season which is
coming to an end, and which
begins in the spring-often pro
duces sudden death, and death
without warning. The hurricane,
on the other hand, gives two or
three days of warning.
In this hemisphere they always
circulate counter-clockwise.and
if one will carefully observe the
direction of the wind, and the
way is it changing, one can de
tect what quadrant of the cir
cular storm he is in. In addition.
the velocity of winds in a hur
ricane builds up for several
days. Usually, two days of low
scud, and rainy, gusty weather
precede a hurricane since hur
ricanes move rather slowly, sel
dom more than fifteen or twenty
miles an hour.

see the summer end but, by now,
everyone has settled themselves.
Regular classes began on Thurs
day, September 1. Of course, no
teacher accomplished too much
on Thursday or Friday.
Schedules were changed time
after time. -,
To break the monotomy of
steady school work, the students
attended an assemly program on
September 6. An artist enter
tained them by quickly drawing
several pictures.
A pep rally was held on the
following Friday after The Candy
Strippers were capped.
Our Indians played and lost
their first game of the season
on Friday night, September 8.
Our boys played a good game and
tried hard, but Tarboro's Tigers
tried a little harder.
The following week, many of
the clubs held their first meet,
ing of the year. Old members
discussed old business and new
members Joined.
On Monday morning, Septem.
ber 18, many of the college
bound seniors, along with Mrs.

traveled to the College Of the

Are Cured
October Is Cancer Crusade
Month for Perquimans County.
During the month the American
Cancer Society is asklngthepub
He to take three Important ac
tions. If you do not know cancer's
warning signals, learn them.
If you have not already had an
annual health checkup, have one.
Support the Society's pro
grams of research, education
and service.
The first two are tor your
protection now; the third tor pos
sible protection In the future.
The American Cancer Society
has issued a call for volunteers
for Its annual Crusade during
Cancer Control Month in
October. This Is a call we hope
many will answer. A great many
people have responded In the
past; a great many people alive
today are grateful they did.
In thirty years the number of
volunteers has grown from fewer
than 15,000 to 150 times that
many. More still are needed.
Thirty years ago, fewer than
one out of five victims of
cancer was being saved. Today
it is one out of three. It could
be one out of two without ac
quiring one bit of additional
knowledge about cancer. To help
make It one out of two, more
vigilance Is needed and more
volunteers to tell the story.
