THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT HE LEADETH ME: I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16. A PROBLEM, BUT WHO CAN SOLVE IT? It is doubtful if three better quali fied women than Miss Helen Gaither, Mrs. M. T. Griffin and Mrs. Young Berry could have been found to take charge of the home demonstration, or home improvement, work in Per quimans County All of these women are trained and practical workers. Miss Gaither was for a number of years home demon stration agent in Perquimans, in which capacity she made a splendid record. Both Mrs. Berry and Mrs. Griff en have had pracical training and are greatly interested in home making and house-heeping. The pity is that a large mapority of the interested housewives in the county who need this service can have no part in the instruction, dem onstration and counsel of these wo men. Their services are only avail able to those who are on the relief rolls. We do not know where the tan gle occurs . in the fine scheme to help the needy, where the gap lies between the motive back of the effort to give assistance where, assistance is urgent, which ends in a situation where none of the farm women who are not on relief rolls can share in the assistance given by the home makers. But there was a blunder somewhere. There is no quarrel because the under-privileged women will receive this service. They are the ones who ought to have the help. They need to be taught and helped to make bet ter homes. But it is unfair that many under-privileged women who have struggled and strained to keep their families from the relief rolls, and who probably need help quite a? much as many of those who are be- in ir helued, should ho excluded from th1 ; "rvice. 4 Perauimr.ns County larrn vover have clammoieii for years for a home demonstration scrent. Atrain and again they have appeared before, the Board of County Commissioners, re questing their support. Always they are told that the county is not in the financial position to furnish an atrent- The women were pretty in sistent a couple of months ago but it did no good and they went home discouraged. What the solution to this problem is would be hard to say. It is a pro blem. Perquimans County is not able to furnich a home demonstration agent, according to the commission era. The Emergency Relief Adminis tration furnishes three junior home makers in the county, whose duties are similar to those of home demon stration agents, but furnishes them only to those on the relief rolls. There is the problem. Who can solve it? HIT OR MISS ! Is there a wheel chair not in use in the county which could be borrowed for the use of an aged man who is paralyzed ? There is ah old man in this county who has been paralyzed on one side for three years. He cannot walk at all. He can use one hand. If a wheel chair could be secured-for him he could be made much more com fortable during the hot weather. He could be wheeled about the house and out in the yard under the trees, and life would be a whole lot brighter for him. The county at one time owned two WINFALL NEWS Miss Daisy Proctor entertained a number of her friends at her home on Friday evening, the .occasion being her sixteenth birthday. Games and 'contests were enjoyed. Miss Proctor was the recipient of many lovely gifts. Delicious refreshments of lemonade, wafers and candy were served by the hostess. Those enjoy ing the affair were: Misses Jessie and Gertrude Baker, Hazel Pike, Lu cille and Eula White, Minnie Shirley Umphlett and Helen Morgan; Miss Nellie Ray Haste, of Edenton, and Miss Pauline Lawrence, of Norfolk, Va.; Ermon Lane, David Pike, Simon Stallings, Norman Warden, Johnnie Pierce, Jim Hendrix, Jesse Stanton, D. c. Haywood and Ralph Proctor: wheel chairs which were loaned to Edmund Mills, Lloyd Peele, Clarence those unable to secure chairs. These chairs are either out of commission or cannot be located. Those who have taken an interest in securing a chair for the, man above referred to believe that some one may have a chair which they would be glad to lend. Any one having such a chair, or any one knowing where there is one available, is requested to report to the office of The Perquimans Weekly. "As a rule man's a fool When it's hot he wants it cool When its cool he wants it hot Always wanting what is not." There's one drop of comfort when the weather is this hot. It is good for the cotton crop. The first hot wave of the season "wasn't so hot," maybe, but it cer tainly did wilt every one. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and a part of Wed nesday gave us a touch of real sum mer. But a thunder storm came on about noon on Wednesday, with showers throughout the afternoon, causisg a welcome drop in the tem perature, i If the hot spells were no longei than that throughout the summer perhaps we wouldn't mind it so much. It is those prolonged hot spells in July, August and September, that take all the starch out of oni'f sails. But then, we who are not sick shoudn't complain. It is those who are so unfortunate as to be confined to bed during the hot weather whc really suffer. BETHEL NEWS ANOTHER "OUNCE OF PREVEN TION" SUGGESTION A timely warning is given in the columns of this newspaper by. Dr. G E. Newby, Perquimans County Health Officer, concerning the infan tile paralysis situation in the State. No case of infantile paralysis has been reported in the Albemarle as yet. But the Albemarle is not cut off from the rest of the State as it once was. Good bridges and good 'oads have linked us up with the rest of North Carolina, and we are no longer isolated. Dr. Newby strongly advises moth' crs to keep their children at home and from contacts with other chil dren. All mothers would do well to heed the warning. The well-worn ; slogan that "it is too late to lock the stable door after the horse has run away" might well be aprjfied in this instance, as well as that homely one, "An., ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Gatling of Norfolk spent the week-end here with his mother, Mrs. T. S. Brough ton. Mr. and Mrs. Lucius Butt and children, Mary Lou and Calvin, of New Hope, spent Sunday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Hobbs. Miss Leone Williams is visiting her sister, Mrs. Dennis Perry, of Norfolk. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Simpson and children of Norfolk spent the week end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Perry. Mrs, Willie Sherlock and son, Lin wood, of Elizabeth City, visited re!a-tive.- here Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Thach and little daughter of Yeopim Station visited her father, J. H. Mansfield, Sunday. fumbling the torch. And "Don't fumble the torch" is a good axiom to apply to modern times. The "torch,'' in this connection, is very small a match but what terrible havoc U wrought when it is fumbled. Tall buildings are razed, homes destroyed, virgin forests laid waste, and worst of all, hundreds of human lives are lost by fire every year. The toll of fire from the careless use of matches, and from smoking, in 1932 was al most $30,000,000 according to figures compiled by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. And yet what a simple matter it is to be careful. The extra seconds required to make certain that butts or matches are completely extin guished are well spent when you consider what may happen if the torch is fumbled. Just place your heel on the butt and crush out every spark, or if it is a match, break it between your fingers. You fumble only when you toss away carelessly. Don't do it!

BUTLER, Sec, & TreaeL' Heat on the inside created by friction is the nudn cause of blowouts. Firestone Tires are different on the inside they are built with the patented extra process of Cam-Dipping that soaks every cord and insulates every strand with pure liquid rubber, preventing internal friction and heat. No other make of tire is Gum-Dipped. Firestone performance records again emphasize the undisputed evidence that Firestone Tires are not only blowout-proof, but give greatest protection against skidding. There are three questions and answers that will solve the problem of v.hat tires to buy: QUESTION 1 "Will the tread give rhc the greatest fraction and protection against kidding?" 7 ANSWER Recent tests by a leading University show that Firestone High Speed Non-Skid Tires stop a car 1 5 quicker than any other of the leading makes. For eight consecutive years Firestone Tires have been on the winning car in the dangerous Pike's Peak Race where a skid means' death. Jhfs is undisputed evidence that Firestone- gives car owners greatest protection against skidding. QUESTION 2 "Arc they blowout-proof?" ANSWER Firestone Gum-Dipped Tire; have the most amazing records for being blowout- proof of any tires ever built. In the gruelling 500-Mile Race at Indianapolis, May 30th, very one of the 33 cars was equipped with Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires. Not one of the 33 driven had any the trouble of any kind. Ab Jenkins drove his 5,000 pound car on Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires over the hot soft beds of Utah, 3,000 miles at 127.2 miles per hour, with temperatures as high as 1 20, without tire trouble of any kind. These are most amazing proofs of blowout protection ever known. QUESTION 3 "Without sacrificing these two important safety features will they give me longer mileage, thus making them the most economical tires I can buy?" ANSWER Firestone HighSpeed Tires not only give you more than 50 longer wear, but also lowest cost per mile due to the tough, wear-resisting tread built with higher shoulders and a wider, flatter contour. This rugged tread is held securely to the Gum Dipped cord body by Firestone's patented construction of two extra layers of cords under the tread, a special construction feature not used in any other tire. Unequaled mileage records by thousands of car owners add undisputed evidence of longer wear and freater economy of Firestone High Speed . ires. 4 Univi 1 1 Firtlti ; I is t Univtrsiry tttrs irtilonTirs 'Joo zS quicker.
