Great Parade
TO THE EDITOR: .
Friday afternoon, December 5, the people of Perquimans
County had a right to be proud. I know those of you who saw
the Christmas Parade will agree with this. The Perquimans
County Jaycees and our Chamber of Commerce put
together a Christmas Parade that will long be remembered.
The floats were some of the best we have had in a long time;
much time and hard work went into each of them. The
bands from Manteo and from Elizabeth City State
University were excellent. We hope one day to have one of
our own. It can be done you know. The Percjuimans County
Marching Unit as always did a great job. They always make
us proud. Hertford Fife and Drum Corps, young in age, but
tops in performance, It is hard to believe that they have
only been organized for about two years, all local too, a
home grown product so to speak.
I have touched on a few things that made our Parade
great, but the one thing that did most to insure success was
the desire of each participant to do their very best. It was a
great parade.
Thanks to each and everyone that had a hand in making it
something to enjoy and to remember.
To Ben Berry, Chairman, his committee, the Perquimans
County Jaycees and the Chamber of Commerce who put it
all together. I say thank you.

All-American
Characteristics
TO THE EDITOR:
Several cities in North Carolina have been designated Ail
American. Here is one person's idea of what such a city
should be like.
It is a city in which the churches are full every Sunday. It
is a city where it is safe to walk the streets at anytime, day.
or night. It is a city where petty jealousies are put aside as
differences of opinion are respected, and these differences
are not allowed to create needless divisions.
In this city, teenagers dress neatly and show their respect
for elders. The parents, on the other hand, willingly provide
and support clean entertainment.
The people in this Ail-American city go the second mile to
help their neighbors, for they readily understand each
other's difficulties.
It is a city where the speed limit and even the seemingly
insignificant laws are obeyed. In this city of neat lawns and
clean houses, relatively little litter is found on the streets.
Patriotism and love of country abound here. There is a
keen perspective on what made this country great. There is
much community spirit and vigorous support is given to
churches, schools, and various civic organizations. Wildlife
is protected and animals are cared for. In this city the
people have learned from the past and are able to apply its
lessons to the future.
Such an outstanding city would serve as a modle not only
to itself, but to the state and nation, enhancing a feeling of
pride which could be contageous, causing others to do
likewise.
Utopian or impossible? No, not with a change in the
human heart.

Unique Gift
Giving Idea
Farmers in Perquimans
County are promoting a uni
que concept in gift-giving
this Christmas. The idea is
for people to give farm pro
ducts for the holidays,
which will not only benefit
the recipient, but also help
the producers of these pro
ducts. The Perquimans County
Farm Bureau is par
ticipating in a statewide
Farm Bureau campaign to
increase consumption of
farm products, according to
Carroll Baker, president of
the local organization.
Theme of the promotion is
"Give Farm Products for an
Old Fashioned Country
Christmas."
"We're not criticizing
other gift ideas," Baker
said, "however, the giving
of farm products is a perfect
way to say "Merry
Christmas" to all those you
want to remember. In addi
tion to solving the problem
