Page 2-The Perquimans Weekly, Letters From Our Editors Mailbag 1 ii Inappropriateness TO THE EDITOR: Sometimes that which is appropriate for one set of - circumstances falls far short for another similar set. This ' common dead end street sign becomes ludicrous when .coupled with its burial ground environment. , It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words, . but in this case, the two words say it all. - T.M. APPLEGATE .Hertford, N.C. On Veterans Day . TO THE EDITOR: Our elected Congress, in their infinite wisdom, chose to alter (among other traditional dates) Veterans Day, by making it the last Monday in October. The reasons . for this alternation should be pretty obvious to the government worker, but makes little or no sense to the restof us. Fortunately, cool heads prevailed, and that same Con gress more recently decreed that Veterans Day, com mencing in 1978, will once again fall on the 11th day of November right where it's been since the first anniver sary of the end of the First World War (although it was then called Armistice Day). Right up front, leading those 'cool heads' were each . and every member of the many veterans organizations. , For it was through his support of his organization that pressure was brought to bear upon our legislators. We who are members of the Legion, VFW, DAV, etc., can ' take a certain amount of pride in knowing that we helped. Our continued support for our veterans organizations is needed. T.M.

They should be no longer than 200 words in length and Editorial: ASaluteTo AH Veterans With the nation's celebration of its Bicenten nial now in full swing, the observance of Veterans Day 1975 takes on even greater significance than that usually associated with this patriotic holiday. For today's veterans sym bolize the same will ingness displayed by the Minuteman of 200 years ago to answer their coun try's call to arms to de fend a lofty ideal. Two hundred years ago, the Minuteman took up arms and won for us the foundation of individual liberty. Today, there are some 26 million veterans men and women who also have served our coun try with honor and valor. They have met the highest obligation of their citizen ship service in the uniform of their country in time of war. To the chapters of history written at Valley Forge , and Yorktown, today's veterans have add ed their own written in thousands of obscure places, throughout the world Chateau Thierry, Belleau Wood, Guadalcanal, Omaha Beach, Inchon, Pork Chop Hill, the Mekong Delta, and the Au Shau Valley.

But service to their country did not end with the exchange of military garb for civilian mufti. Upon their return to civilian life, America's war veterans have demonstrated an ex emplary stability and responsibility in our socie ty, reflecting their great respect for the heritage of their citizenship and their great desire to work for the betterment of com-, munity, state, and nation.
