BLAME IT ON THE WEATHER
That habit we have of always
pouncing upon any extraordinary
happening or circumstances and us
ing it as an alibi is amusing some
times. The habit applies very par
ticularly to weather conditions. We
can and do blame so much on the
weather. Grandma lays her pain in
the neck on the east wind, and
Grandpa blames it on the west wind
when the chimney smokes.
It is doubtful if any weather ever
got the blame for more numerous and
Tnore diversified happenings than the
recent cold spell. '
The weather was directly responsi
ble for four persons in Perquimans
sustaining broken bones; the weather
was responsible for the schools in
Perquimans closing for a week; the
1 .-weather was responsible for bad
I Jus among a large number of our
wfrflDle: the weather was resnonsible
the roads.
And now The Perquimans Weekly
"steps forward to timidly suggest
that it is because of the weather
that there are so few personal news
items in the paper this week from
the various communities. Some of
the correspondents, particularly those
who do not live on hard surfaced
Mads, were unable to get away from
home, and, therefore, could not learn
any news to write. There was very
little coming or going for several
days in. certain of the more isolated
communities.
PLENTY CLOTHING FOR
COUNTY'S POOR
Dozens upon dozens of garments,
warm winter garments, underwear,
dresses, overalls, needed by so many
of the poor people of Perquimans;
stacks of sheets, pillowcases; piles
of heavy warm quilts, all piled up
in the Community House, where it
was made, laid by for nobody knew
ivhatl
The people who have known about
these articles which should have been
in the hands of the folks who need
them during the bitter cold weather,
and who have been waiting for weeks
to see what distribution was to be
made of them, have grown impatient,
and there has been criticism of the
seeming indifference of some one
higher up in authority somewhere
who failed to hand down to those
waiting below for orders the instruc
tions to give out these garments
made presumably for the poor by
the women working for the WPA.
Well, it looks, like they are at last
to be distributed. Miss Ruth Daven
port, who has been sent to Hertford
to serve as case worker for the Wel
fare Officer, in the new set-up to aid
the poor, is to make investigation
and to place these articles in the
homes where they are needed.
The news was received with relief
by those interested in the matter.
Miss Davenport told the Board of
Commissioners on Monday that she
could distribute these articles just
as soon as she could get a room large
enough in which to handle them.
They have to be gone over and sorted
and arranged according .to sizes, so
that selections can be made of the
, proper sizes. xne commissioners
tgreed at once to furnish the room
Sand the work is to be begun imme-
" diately.
There are many needy ones in
rags to whom these articles will be a
veritable godsend.
