Bailey, a native of Pasquotank County, a resi dent of Perquimans some half a cen tury ago, who was in Hertford this week.' He ' appeared delighted to meet those who had known his old friends who lived in Pasquotank County in his youth, recalling vivid ly faces and circumstances of long ago. When Mr. Bailey remarked inci dentally that he stopped work at the age of seventy, somebody immediate ly wanted to know when that was. He looks nearer sixty than seventy, "I am seventy-flve years old," he said, and continued "and I haven't an ache nor a pain not even a com! on a toe." He was asked to make a statement as to why he continues young at seventy-five and answered "to the fact that I do not envy the rich, that I love my neighbors, and hat I am glad to help those who are poorer than I am." y,.v- ' l mimi - . -V V- World Wheat Supplies'. - Production of wheat In the northern hemisphere, not Including Russia and China, ! expected to be about 825,000, 000 bushels less than last year, and the crop of the southern hemisphere about 109,000,000 bushels less, according to the government survey, says Wallaces' farmer, v The world carryover appears to be about the same as last year.

The cause of highway safety will be im measurably advanced, and railroad service will be improved, as the exist ence of grade crossings is a great barrier to increasing train speeds. The $200,000,000 will not, of course, eliminate all grade crossings. But it marks a great step forward, and paves the way for additional work to be done by all units of government in the future.

The Perquimans Weekly extends a hearty welcome to the Oxford Or phanage Singing Class which come to Hertford next Tuesday .- Most of us recall that the Oxford Orphanage Singing Class has been coming regularly into the community each year as Jong as we can jemem ber. Time was when entertainment was not so plentiful as it is now adays. There were no picture shows, The coming of the singing class was an event in those days. How many Know that the singing class has been coming for fifty years? It is a fact that for more than half a century the Oxford Or phanage has sent out on a tour throughout North Carolina a singing class, each year furnishing a new class, each year giving a new pro gram. Nothing in the way of entertain ment is ever brought into the com munity; which is more wholesome, nothing ever will come which is more worthy of our support Perquimans has always been en thusiastic in its welcome of the Ox ford Orphanage Singing Class, and rightly so. let us never fail to give to the : singing class the welcome which is their due.
