( toy r V WEEKLY : - AWEEKIjy NEjWSPAPBR HERTFORD AND PERQUIMANS COUNTY Volume III. Number 20. Hertford, Perquimans County, North Carolina, Friday, May 15, 1936. $1.25 Per Year Tr Dr. Charles Barker Lauds Rotary Ideals Speaks to Hertford Ro- tarians at Meeting Monday MAKERIENDS Rotary Has Done Much To Eliminate Religi ous Bigotry Characterizing Rotary as the greatest movement of its kind in some respects that the world has ever known, Dr. Charles Barker, widely known representative of Ro tary International, who visited the Hertford Rotary Club on Monday night, told his hearers that Rotary is. doing more than any other organi zation among business men in the world today to get men to know what, after all. is the one most im portant thing to do while they live in the world. Calling attention to the fact that Rotary was established simply for the development of friendship, and citing the fact that the movement, which began with four members thirty-six years ago had spread un til it is in 80 countries, Dr. Barker told his hearers something of what ,it mans eto have real friends. "We ll have acquaintances," he said. "Friends are the people who stand by us when we are in trouble. They are the people who know our faults and our weaknesses, but who still re spect us and like to be with us. That is the kind of friendship that Rotary develops." In speaking of the help of friend ship and fellowship, the speaker stated that of the 170,000 members of the Rotary clubs, records show tKat only three nave committed sui cide during the depression . years when so many men took 'a quick way out of their troubles. Tien ' are bouy ed up by the. friends they have made In Rotary, be said. . Rotary, he said, was teaching men how to team up for the good of the community, this being especially true of the smaller cities. "If you have caught the spirit of Rotary," he said, ''when the president calls on - members for help in putting across anything for the good . of the com munity, for helping those who need help, the answer is 'all right, count on me. I am-willing to do my part' That is what Rotary is teaching us to do." - Dr. Barker said that Rotary had also done much to rid communities of religious bigotry. "What is reli gious bigotry?" he asked. "Let's drag the thing out in the light and take a good square look at it" "Religious bigotry,? he said, '"was hindering a great many communities, hindering the progress of the King dom of God.? "What do I mean by the Kingdom of God !" he - asked. "The Kingdom of, God, I think, is any man, woman or child who is honestly trying to do the will of God.". Mentioning specific instances in which Protestants had been align ed against the Catholic and the Jew, he said, "If I am not ! willing to be friendly with another man who is a Catholic i because he Is a Catholic, I am a religious bigot And if I am not willing to be J friendly with another man because he. is a Jew, I am a reiigioua bigot" He then told of personal friend ships which, had : meant .and still mean so much in his own life. "But I am telling you frankly that until 22 years ago I did not have one . Catholic or Jewish friend on the face of the earth," he ssid. ; : With Catholics, JewB and Protes tants working together for the good of the community, he said you can't fail to wake up to find that you have got rid of this silly religious bigotry. "J-think it is a mistake for any M&lir in nv enmmnnitv not to loin as its basis." ne saw. ,ttoiary is not a religion and any man who be ' longs to Rotary and looks upon Ro tary that way is making, a terrible mistake. I have . heard ' Rotarians say 'I don't belong ..to any church. Rotary is my religion.',. That is the biggest mistake any man can make, tufaiisiA Rotarv is not a religion. - It ' r "is just a little scheme, a little plan, that will help .men be better church '. ': members, more loyal to the commune ity! That's all it Js. but I think Ro ' tary is doing more than "any jother K organization among business men to get men to see what, after all, is - the one most important thing to do i while 'we t Jive in' the world. ; It comes from this, "He profits "most "Who serves best" . "I believe that is the greatest law in the world. ' I believe it is as true as the" law of gravitation.' It is the Voice Around the World WiD Open World's Fair ' DALLAS, TexasA voice around the world will open the gates of the $25,000,000 Texas Centennial Exposition here June 6. Spoken into a microphone before the main entrance, the voice pos sibly that of President or Mrs. Roosevelt will travel over radio waves to New York, England, France, Japan, California and back to Dallas, where it will strike an electrical device inside the grounds and swing the gate open. - The words will require 9 seconds for their trip around the world. Home Agent Submits Strawberry Recipe It is strawberry time, and a great many housekeepers have been wish ing for a recipe for canning straw berries in such way that the berries would not float. ' Miss Gladys Hamrick, Home Dem onstration Agent, submits the fol lowing recipe and states that the berries will not float and that they will be firm and delicious. Use two pounds strawberries and one cup of strawberry juice, meaning the juice which has been crushed from the berries, and pound of sugar. Boil sugar and juice until dissolv ed. Let cool and add strawberries and boil 5 minutes. Allow to stand overnight in juice. Put in jars and process 15 minutes in hot" water bath. Missionary Societies Meet On May 27th a The; District Conference. , of the Woman's Missionary Societies of the Elizabeth City District, which is an annual meeting, will be held at the Epworth Methodist Church, at Win- fall, on Wednesday, May 27, with all of the churches on the Perquimans Circuit as hosts. Mrs. J. L. DeLaney, of Winfall, who is Secretary of the District, will preside at both the morning and af ternoon sessions, the program of which has not yet been announced. Luncheon will be served by the women of the various Methodist Churches in Perquimans. The Elizabeth City District of the M. E. Church, South, includes not only all . of the counties of the Albe marle, but several others, . including Bertie, Martin, Pitt, Beaufort and others, and hundreds of women from the - various missionary societies throughout the entire district are ex pected to be present most important thing in the world. 1 am banking on that great truth. I think a man gets , richer this way than in any other way. And finan cial gain is the least important . If we have not learned .that truth in this depression, if we have not learn ed that money is the least important thing, it is too had. Money is not permanent wealth, because you do not take any of it with you when you go. ' There is . something you can't take with you. If you help somebody, honestly help . them, in being' better, in . cheering - them up, in helping them in any way; that is something that nobody in the world can take out of your life. That goes with you. ' ; . . . In closing,. Dr. Barker said: "I have a great deal of confidence in a certain Young Man who lived nearly two thousand years ago, and, of course, yon know to whom I refer. I have the 'utmost confidence in this Young Man's - experience and bis judgment of life. You know perfect ly well that this . Young Man and His teachings have done more to make this old world a fine place to five in than the teaching or the life of any other man or any. set. "of men who ever lived. I think We are safe in saying that His a judgment v can 1( trusted more than any other.? c He told his hearers to go home and read the 25th chapter of St Mathew, qdoting from .. that passage which says that in that Day He will say to them on His right "Come ye blessed ofjny'Father, inherit the . kingdom prepared for you from the founda tion of the - world. For I was hun gry, and ye fed me; I was thirsty and ye gave me to drink; I was naked and ye clothed me; sick and in prison and ye, 'ministered unto me," . , - :. - "You can't get around that state ment that in helping people every time you get a. chance, that every time you do it you are doing it for CLEAN POLITICS r.IOVElENT ADDSITRYTO ELIMINATE IiIAMY NEW NAMES R ADIO 75 More Voters Sign Cards Pledging Co operation list Growing Members Oppose Illegi timate Methods to Secure Votes H.

Rifle Club Dance Was Very Pleasant Affair The Rifle Club Dance held at the Community House on Monday even ing of this week was a very delight ful occasion, and the young people of the town are elated over the pros pect of similar occasions to be held regularly every two weeks. The first of th edances was held two weeks previous to the one held on Monday evening when some fif teen couples were present. At the dance on Monday night there were 25 couples present. If the young people continue to patronize the af fair there seems to be no reason why a dance should not be given every two weeks for some time to come. A member of the Rifle Club said this week that it was not the idea of the Club to make of these dances a money-making scheme, although a small sum was realized at the last one given, but the . managament would like to arrange the affairs for the pleasure of the young people of the community.

For a num ber of years there has been no repre sentative of Belvidere Township on the Board of Education and a great many of the citizens of this town ship have requested Mr. Lane to file for the office.

Two years ago Mr. Lane, who takes a great deal of interest in education, agreed to file for the office, but there was no va cancy at this time, as the members had been appointed by the Legisla ture for a certain period. The present Board of Education, each member of which has filed for renqmination, is as follows: Hert ford Township, T. S. White; New Hope Township, W- E. Dail; Park ville Township, J. H. Miller and J. H. Baker; and Bethel Township Shelton Long. J. P. Elliott lias announced his candidacy for the office of sheriff, Mr. Elliott being the only opponent of the incumbent, J. Emmett Wins low. Mr. Elliott is a resident of Chapanoke. He sets forth in his announcement, which appears else where in this newspaper, that he is opposed to any county officer hold ing office longer than two terms and states that if nominated he will not ask for the office longer than for two terms. There is only one new candidate for the office of member of the Board of County Commissioners, George T. Powell, of Parkville Town ship.
