THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT
THE LORD SUSTAINS: They
that wait? upon the Lord shall renew
their strength; they shall mount up
with wings as eagles; they shall run
and not be weary; and they shall
walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31.
THE HALF HOLIDAY
"All work and no play makes Jack
'a dull boy.' The same condition ap
plies to Jill, of course, and nobody
wants dull boys or girls in business.
That is a good enough reason for giv
ing a half holiday each week during
4he hot months.
When Jack and Jill can go a-fishing
on a picnic down the river, or take
some other form of recreation, they
go back to work on Friday morning
better able to finish up the week's
work in the way it ought to be done,
to say nothing of the pleasure they
have had.
There are some individuals who
cannot appreciate what this Thursday
afternoon off means. Nobody who
has not had to go to work, and be on
time, every day, "rain or snow, hail
or Mow," no matter how little like it
one may feel sometimes, can possibly
realise how much a certain half day
each week to do exactly what one
wishes to do, can mean.
For many years the Hertford busi
ness men, following the lead of the
business men of larger towns and
cities, have seen fit to allow this half
holiday through the three hottest
months. In doing so they have not
only, made.it possible for the men and
women in their emnlov to enjoy many
happj hours,, have given pleasure ot
tneir iamiues, ana muue me a uw
brighter for a few individuals, but
they have created a condition which
reacts to their own great and lasting
benefit.
There is no doubt but that every
employer in Hertford is gratified to
know that those working for him are
enjoying the weekly half holiday. An
employer naturally likes to feel that
his employees are contented and
happy.
There is no possible way of know
ing the actual value of this state of
mind of the employees to the man
for whom they work. - '
BEAUTIFUL BUT DANGEROUS
How proud we Hertford folks are
of the beautiful and picturesque Per
quimans River! The little town is al
most surrounded by the lovely stream.
There is much more water front than
most larger towns can boast of, and
homes are built on the water front
wherever possible. Visitors exclaim
at the beauty of the river, and we
never fail to actually "point with
pride" at the many beautiful views.
It is so easy of access, too, both
to fishermen and to bathers. Our
young people have a mighty good
time all summer, swimming and boat
ing. Summer is almost here, and soon
the youngsters will be swarming to
ward the river.
Let's take care that wo do not, in
-our pride and pleasure, lose sight cf
- the danger of the river.
All of us recall the numerous trag
edies of drowning in the Perquimans.
So many have occurred. Boys and
girls, men and women, Vive ! n
drowned. It is so easy to lose sight
of ths danger, however.
i The Town of Hertford is providing
6 life guard for the bathers. Our
City Fathers are performing a ve:
.necessary service in doing this. The
you:)g ;man appointed as a guara tms
. year Claude Brinn, is a splendid
swimmer, a. clear-headed and compe
tent young man. He will do every
"thing in; Jus power to prevent any
. jmlshftps while .he is on guard. But
' he wity not always be on guard. He
guards the bathing beach each after
noon: from; 2 nntil 5, on week days.
His duties-begin June first. -.
Parent of .small, children ought to
be very careful to sea that their chil
dren do. not go into the river except
.when thegar4 is on duty.,,

MY CHILDREN saw as their first
: movie. Walt Disney's "Three
Little Pigs" and talked of nothing
else for weeks. When Christmas
came around I made Three Little
Pigs for them myself, and no toy
they have ever had pleased them
quite so much. I made up my own
body pattern, and If you have in
genuity and want to try this in
imitable trio yourself, here are
some hints for making them. If
your children are as strenuous
with their dolls as mine are, I warn
you to use a good thread that will
keep the seams from bursting and
the stuffing from emerging all over
the nursery floor.
The Three Little Pigs
Tbe Three Little Pigs are all
made from the same body pattern.
They are made to look different by
using three different eye patterns.
Mark around your patterns on your
material using a ted .pencil. Sew
directly on the marked Baee. Allow
for seams beyond -eMkd lines.
. Materials: Pigs: yard light tan.
or flesh colored cotton material
this may be percale, gingham, or
similar material. K yard plain blue
percale, or similar material, 14 yard
plain white material 8 Inch strip
bright red material. 9 small white
buttons. Small piece light brown
material for nose, and six strand
floss to match for embroidering
same. Small scraps ot felt for foot
soles. Small scraps of black mate
rial for yes, and six strand floss
in black for finishing eyes.
Hints: Ears are made double.
Tint inside pink with red pencil.
Tint cheeks pink also.
Cut out "eyes and glue them to
the fact. Work the floss around
eyes before glue is hard.
The nose is cut out and glued
to the face. Edge 'Of nose and
mouth are worked with floss.
Cut out sole in cardboard and
draw the material ot leg down over
It and sew. Then sew felt sole on
by hand.
To make tne fingers stick out
stiffly, sew the hands with outside
seams. Stuff fingers and sew to
arms.
Dress the ptg who built his
house of straw as a sailor. Pig who
bunt his house of sticks with short
red coat with three buttons on
waistcoat and little white beret.
Dress the bricklayer In overalls
with a tiny miner-like cap.
Increase Livestock Population
By GUY A. CABDWELL
Agricultural and Industrial Agent
Atlantic Coast Line Railmad Co.
The University of North Carolina
News Letter, February 20th, 1935,
issue calls attention to the fact that
North Carolina continues to rank
near the bottom among the states in
livestock. i
In total value of all major forms of
livestock on farms in 1935 North
Carolina ranks 19th, South Carolina
33 and Virginia 26th. This rating
means little however, as on a farm
basis the rank would be nearer the
bottom and in percentage of income
derived from livestock and livestock
products we are probably still worse
off.
The Carolines show "a large mule
population and a small horse popula
tion, while Virginia has a large horse
population and a ismall mule popula
tion. However, the Carolinas do hot
produce either horses or mules in
worthwhile numbers and the total
value of these animals represents
wealth that has gone to horse and
mule raising states . to pay for this
work stock.
Quoting from the News Letter
''For the United States the value
of cattle, hogs and sheep is far
ahead of the value of mules and
horses. For North Carolina the value
of muks and horses is two and a
quarter times the total value of cat
tle, hogs, and sheep. Again there
are only four states where the ratio
of mules and horses, or work animals,
" "'-ft and milk animals is higher
itorth Carolina
"Onoe in a bine moon the extremely
higmy commercialized non-food cash
crop system of central and eastern
Nc:'.h Carolina does bring in cash,
Experience shows that the cash does
not long stick to the palms that sweat
it out, and that the standard of living
quickly reverts to a low level. If our
splendid cash crops could be coordi
nated with enough livestock' of the
meat and milk variety , to give the
farmers at least a balanced ration the
situation would be greatly improved.
It is doubtful if this will evejc occur
in an, area of overwhelming tenancy
as in eastern " North Carolina, prob
ably the. most deficient meat end mflk
area of all farm regions in America."
;We should review our lasts, and Ad
just them rather 'than to dwell on our
firsts. It would also be helful to re
call from time to time" the words of
that inspired 1 Georgian, ; Henry W,
Grady, ' in : speaking " of independent
farmers , .';";' .
. ''When every farmer m "the South
shall eat bread ' from, his own fields
and meat from his own pastures and,
disturbed by no creditors ,' and en
slaved by no debt, shall sit down
among his teeming gardens and or
chards and vb.crards and his 4 ' ' -t-i
I ', :"" r
independence, making cotton his clean
surplus, and selling it in hia own
time in his chosen market and not at
a master's bidding; getting his pay
in cash and not in receipted mort
gage that discharges the debt but
does not restore his freedom then
shall be breaking the fullness of our
day." ,. , . , ,, . . .
To Mr. Grady's colorful ered
should be added that harsh statement
of a former Governor of North Caro
lina, Thomas W. Bickett, harsh be
cause of his desire fdr the improve
ment of the condition of the people
who honored him: ' ,
: "If I were the Czar of North Caro
lina instead of the Governor, I would
issue an edict declaring that from
and after five years from date any
man who imported into North Caro-
