THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT
WORSHIP HAS VALUE: It is a
good thing to give thanks unto the
Lord, and to sing praises unto thy
name, 0 most High; to ahew forth
thy loving kindness in the morning,
and thy faithfulness every night.
Psalms 92:1-2.
MAY WE HAVE MOREl
There appears in this jweek's is
sue of The Perquimans Weekly a
letter signed by Dick Potter, ex
pressing his views on the matter of
which of. the proposed improvements
for the Town of Hertford are most
important.
The Perquimans Weekly welcomes
such letters as Mr. Potter's, and
would be very glad indeed to have
more of. our citizens express their
views on matters of interest to the
community in its oohmm.

BETTER BE CARREFUL
The simple drunk is now taboo

Time was when the simple drunk
merely had to prove that lie was
simply drunk and everything was ok.
Now, however, since the Town
Fathers have passed an ordinance

THE
PEOPLE'S
FORUM
A PLEA FOR A SEWER ON
KING STREET
Now that we have the opportunity
to employ goyernment funds to give
the. deserving work and at the same
time to improve our public facilities,
we are confronted by the problem of
how to ret the most benefit for the
town as a whole out Of the allot'
ment.
I cast my vote for completing, the
sewage system of Hertford. First,
because in this project the ratio of
expenditure for material to that of
labor involved is small, and "thereby
employment., is given .at a small ex
pense to the town. Secondly, because
the work would . eradicate forever
what is known as " public nuisance,
one particularly prevalent during the
warm summer months, when the
wind is impartial as to which direc
tion it blows. Thirdly, and chieffly,
because it would improve the sani
tary condition of the town one hun
dred percent. As a chain, is as strong
as its weakest link, so a system that
is not complete is hardly a system
at all. Very few outhouses are fly-
proof and flies have the insidious
habit of finding one place as welcome
as another. For instance, your most
sanitary and shining kitchen. Com
bined with good screening, a com
plete sewerage system will do much
to thwart them in their destructive
existence.

For indications are that this ordi

tired of the conditions which have
existed heretofore, when the officerj
had no right to arrest a man for
drunkenness, no matter how drunk
he might be, unless he behaved in a
disorderly manner.
MISSIONARY SOCIETY MEETS
The Woman's Missionary Society
of the Bethlehem Christian Church
met on Friday afternoon at the home

Where on earth did so many eggs

Reed& Felton, who advertised last
week in The Persuimans Weekly that
the firm was in the market for eggs.
"I guess we'll have to take that ad
out of the paper," said J. 0. Felton,
in commenting on the response he
got from his advertisement.
And speaking of results, I have
forgotten how many thousand cab

ran in this newspaper. But he had
to stop advertising them for sale.

again, Girls 1
With the closing of the Albemarle
Tournament, the Perquimans boys
closed their basketball schedule for
the year and at once started baseball
practice. Although the weather has
halted the practice for the past few
days, the squad has had a little bat
ting and field practice. A goodly
number have been out each day and
there should be plenty of material
from which to choose.
Nearly all positions on the team
are wide open, due to the graduation
of so many of last year's players.
Practice" will continue for. some time
before any games are played.
The Washington girls basketball
team forfeited their return game to
the Perquimans ladies. Who says
this Perquimans girls team isn't a
dangerous bunch?
Use muffin tins for baking toma
toes, apples, stuffed peppers, etc.
They will keep their shape better.
