So then because thou art luko warm, and neither cold nor hot, J will spue thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:15, 16. SLACKENING SPEED They are slackening their speed, many of those erstwhile speeders. Warned by officers that fast driving on the streets of Hertford would not be longer permitted, some of the motorists who have been in the habit of stepping on the gas as they drove through the town are slowing down. There never was any reason for the oft repeated statement that speeding in Hertford could not be stopped. It can be stopped. If not in one .way, then in another. If persuasion Won't work there are other methods. Mayor Whedbee deserves and will receive the hearty commendation of every thoughtful citizn of the town for the stand he has taken to put a stop to the senseless manner in which automobiles too frequently are driv en on the streets of Hertford. THANKLESS TASK BUT NECESSARY It will probably be a thankless task, serving as a member of the County Board of Charities and Public Wel fare. There isn't any pay in the job. But there ought to be public spirit ed men and women of character, and ability who are willing and glad to serve their county in so important a capacity. As a matter of fact, there will pro bably be little work for the members of this Board to do. They are re quired to meet once each month with tne weuare unicer, wno gives ner full time to welfare work and who is paid for her services. The Welfare Officer does the actual work. The duties of the Board will be to give assistance in an advisory capa city. . Hie County Board of Charities and Public Welfare, whose responsibili ty it will be to pass upon important matters connected with the distribu tion of the old age benefits and de pendent children benefits, should be made up of men and women whose heads are level and whose .. hearts are kind; men and women who know their county and are acquainted with conditions; men and women who are willing to give time and thought to the consideration of the serious pro blems which will come before them. Mrs.V. N. Darden has already been appointed as one member of this Board. Her appointment was by the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare. The Board of Coun ty Commissioners are faced with the responsibility of selecting the second member. That the commissioners should give due consideration to their selection goes without saying. If their choice is a wise one the matter of the third member should take care of itself.
