THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT WAITING FOR GOD: For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, be side thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. -Isaiah 64:4. WEATHER AND SCHOOL AT ODDS There is no way of, knowing how far-reaching will be the effects of this forced holiday the schools are haying. . For weeka children have been out of School on account of the terrible weather conditions and the conse quent condition of the roads. While the situation has been un avoidable, it is something to be de plored. It will take a long time for the teachers to bring the pupils to the point at which they left off their work. The dosing of schools will be de layed until the weather is so warm as to make going to school irksome indeed. Not only is this true, but farmers depend upon the older children for help on the farm in. the spring, and the delay will greatly handicap the parents whose children are kept in school so long. It might be a good idea, in case such a condition as has prevailed again arises, for the parents to co operate with the schools by taking their children to and from school, or at least to the points on the roads where the school busses may travel.

This is your town meeting. Be there! N. C. Has Lower Farm rIhcome During: 1935 " North Carolina is among .the eight states showing a decrease in farm in- y itnonie 4t go elsewhere and come in 1935, according to the report : the matter, to some one else to of the Bureau of Agricultural FVn- uTBCiuii' don'f'be disappointed if it is.nomics. For the whole nation there was. a 12-percent increase in farm income- , Total receipts from sales of princi pal farm products and from rental and benefit payments were $6,832, 932,000 in 1935, compared with $6, 102,901,000 in 1934, with $4,871, 608,000 in 1933, and $4,235,362,000 in 1932. Smallest improvement in income was in the South Atlantic region. The only states showing reduced income in 1935 were Main, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, and New Mexico. Increased farm income last year was due primarily to a 20-percent rise in the general level of farm prices, says the report. Crop price ains were relatively small, "but Drices for livestock and livestock pro ducts advanced considerably, causing a marked variation in the different regions in the extent of the improve ment in farm income over 1934." In North Carolina the lower price of cotton for the 1935 crop was re flected in moderate losses. LET'S PAVE OUR SIDEWALKS Come out to the mass meeting to night and show a spirit of coopera tion with those who are endeavoring to 'improve the town by taking ad vantage of the opportunity of secur ing funds from the Works Progress Administration for the purpose- The matter is up to the town, and the town officials are trying to find out the sentiment of the people and will act accordingly. There has been a great deal said, about the failure of this community to profit in any mateiial way, or to secure any permanent improvements, from the money spent in giving em ployment to the needy. We have not, as a matter of fact, very much to show for the vast amount of money which has been paid to labor ers in this community. We have the opportunity now, however, to secure some much need ed permanent improvements in Hert ford by the outlay of a comparative ly small amount of money. ,The Works Progress Administra tion will pay for the labor, and in addition will pay one third of the cost of the material, provided the material does not exceed in cost thirty per cent of the total labor cost. The Town of Hertford must not fai to take advantage of this oppor tunity to g'et these permanent im provements at small cost.

The first step, he said, will be to complete the Job of going over and approving all 1935 .contracts, and ironing out technical errors wherever they .are found.
