P.; 2-The Perquimans Weekly,
Editorially . Speaking :
Those of us who have the
privilege of voting on
November 5 would do well to
do some ' last minute
"homework" before going
to the polls.
. In addition to elections for
Congress, there are state,
' county, and local positions
to fill. Don't miss this op
portunity to exercise your
' free choice by studying the
candidates and the issues
and be certain that you are
an informed voter.
, We must do better than
guess ; between two
unknowns, or base our
decisions on such things as
"television personality" or
other superficial
1 "qualifications"; The real
test comes in determining
how each of the candidates
stands on the issues of
importance to you, your
district, and your state. In
looking at Congressional
candidates, we should ask
the ''hard" questions
concerning their position on
controlling inflation, a

TO TilK EDITOR:
I don't even know why I'm
taking time to write you
people. I have written before
about my complaint. I never
see in your newspaper, the
actions of the county
commissioners special
meetings about certain
things, roads and other
various matters. I can read
in The Daily Advance about
Camden, Currituck, Dare. I
called The Daily Advance
about Perquimans County
news and they said The
Perquimans Weekly was
covering Perquimans
County on local matters. I
have news for them, we have
no coverage except for who
went to Norfolk, Chapel Hill
or who spent the week-end
at their cottage at Nags
Head. You would save space
just publishing who didn't
got to Nags Head each week.
The County Board has a
special meeting Sept. 5 on

Who s Covering
Incorrect Information
Some books sold as social
security information are
useful, but there are others
that are inaccurate,
misleading, overpriced, and
deceptively advertised.
The Social Security
Administration doesn't
-discourage the sale of
commercial publications. At
the same time, we don't
endorse any non
governmental publication.
People can get free, ac
curate, up-to-date
publications and other in-
' formation about social
security by contacting any
; social security office. .
Social security in
formation is organized and
illustrated in a different way

Some of them are well done.
But the information in them
isn't 'secret' or 'inside'. If
advertising suggests it is,
the advertising is false.
1 Some advertising hints
that a publisher has an
official connection with the
social security
... Administration and has
access to social security
records. This is never true.

wage controls,, taxes, in
ternational trade, and
dozens of other pertinent
questions.
If you are an informed
voter, you'll cast your ballot
for the candidate ! who
shares your views on many
important issues. It is only
in this way that government
will represent the will of the
people and that is what
self-government is all about.
Although Farm Bureau
does not endorse political
candidates in elections at
any level, it does encourage
all members to be informed
and to support the can
didates who share their
basic beliefs.
We are pleased that farm
and rural citizens haVe
earned a reputation for good
citizenship based on the
relatively high percentage
of eligible voters who cast
ballots in rural precincts.
