I HIT OR MISS I Do you know, or have you in mind a bit of public improvement which ought to be made in or around Hert ford? . If so, and if the work does not call for materials which cannot be se cured, let your suggestion be known to E. W. Lordley, District Adminis trator of the ERA, or to any of the local representeatives. The Government will not furnisl materials. Mr. Lordley says that thee will shortly be men out f wdrk for lack of a project, a number of them be cause of the fact that the work on the project recently put into effect on the county-owned property across the Perquimans River Bridge from Hert ford, was ordered stopped because of the dissatisfaction expressed by ; number of citizens who objected tc having the trees cut down on this property. A force of men is at present engag ed in cleaning up that area whicl has been cut over, but this work wil. not last long. ERA workers are at a loss to mak' work projects which do not call for materials. It does seem that some body ought to be able to think oi more work projects of a naturt which would be of real benefit' to the community. It might be that, ever though it does call for materials, there is some work so important tha materials might be secured froir. other than ERA sources. The unemployed should be give: employment, but if possible they should be put to work on projects Which amount to something. Mr. Lordley wants your sugges tions. Now is the time for He people to have a voice in this matter. If you have an idea, don't sit and wonder why certain things are not done and why certain others are done. Let the ERA officials have the benefit of your ideas on this subject. They will welcome your suggestions Nancy Dawson, of Elizabeth City, is the almost three-year-old grand daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Nixon, of Hertford. Sometime ago Nancy's mother said, "Nancy, Fred has measles," whereupon Nancy ex claimed, "O, Mamma, I like them, had some for supper last night." Nancy's amazing statement was explained later when she was heard to say to her Daddy, "Did you know that Fred has noodles?" J. P. Elliott, of Route Three, is one of the County's most prominent farmers. I was much gratified to have him voluntarily subscribe to The Perquimans Weekly last week. I mean, of course, that the subscription was unsolicited. After Mr. Elliott had paid the price of a year's subscription he ask ed what the price would be for a life subscription. At the question I sat up and took notice. You see, I take a aieat deal of pride in The Perquimans Weekly. Whenever an approving word is spok en I respond with a smirk. It is probable that, had I been cat, .1 would have commenced to purr at thai moment, for to my ears the question had a very complimentary ring. . fco J tilted my chin a little hUeir and quite Involuntarily began to preen my feathers, so to speak. (Please note that the simile of the cat, is. discon tinued!) . Frankly,. I took on a few perfectly uncalled for airs. I would I u Several remarks were made by va rious members of the little company of people, gathered in the dfflce ofiW. H. Pitt, Clerk of the Court, where the little transaction took place some of them somewhat complimentaryto the newspaper. ' ? V ' $ 'fi You can imagine, then, bow my feathers drooped when Mr. Elliott followed up his question with' the laconic remark that he figured the price of a life subscription would not be so much, since the life of the news paper probably wouldn't be very long, judging from the length of the life of former Perquimans newspapers. Now, I ask you, how would you have felt? "Let's argue some, Mother. Let's argue about the Lindbergh case," sug gested Pat, the three-year-old daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Morris, on Monday. Pat evidently enjoys an argument. Lots of people do. "Divorce cases," remarked Judge G. V. Cowper in Superior Court thi3 week, "may be tried at any time at the pleasure of the court, and the Judge added as an afterthought, "and the Court never gets any pleasure out of trying divorce cases." That certain members of the Per quimans Lodge of Masons are said to be planning to eat no lunch next Tuesday, in order to be able to more thoroughly enjoy the sauer kraut din ner with which F. F. Muth, of Eden ton, will entertain this Lodge, is not surprising. It is probably excusable. But it does seem a little extreme to go without breakfast also, as it is said one prominent - Mason, viz: James S. McNider, is planning to do. They say that Mr. McNider has done this several times before. J. E. Morris, Hertford's genial postmaster, is a -most accommodating person. He will go out of his way at any time to do service for a ffiend, and is accustomed to being called on for various and sundry favors. Us ually he is able to comply. But when Judge G. V. Cowper, of Kinston, who held Superior Court in Hertford this week, walked into the postoffice and requested Mr. Morris to jut his car up, Mr Morris had turn the Judge down. "I would like to get youjto take care of my car while I am here," said the Judge, in that courteous tone which he invariably uses, as he step ped up to the postoffice window shortly after his arrival here on Monday. At a loss to understand, Mr. Mor ris replied, "I am sorry, Sir, but I have no place to keep a car." Didn't you take care of my car when 7 was here last?" the Judge asked. "No, Sir," the Postmaster replied. "Don't you sell Fords?" further inquired the Judge. "No, Sir," answered Mr. Morris, who began to take in the situation, "I sell postage stamps." Judge Cowper had stepped- into thr wrong doorway. The Ford agency All Ladies' Fall and Winter Mails and - at CLEARANCE PRICES O&'Cll -- IS V MRS.

I haven't studied ancient tongues, My English isnt good; I know I've said a lot of things That a. scholar never would. But this is my experience, And so IH pass it on; The time to be a friend to man Is when he's needing one. I don't discuss religion. I wouldn't if I could; I know I couldn't draw the line Between what's bad and good. I've had to plod along through life And learn from other men; And so I've done a lot of things 111 never do again. But this I've found along the way The time to be a friend Is when a fellow's needing All the help that you can lend! You needn't fret about the rich. They'll get along all right; The bills they owe don't trouble them Or kill their sleep at night. The man that's drifting down the stream, Neath summer's sky of blue.
