BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK
nn i t rl ITT T tl TT OT XTXI.tTTj O
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in,
a fault, ye which are spiritual, re
store such an one in the spirit of.
meekness; considering thyself lest
thou also be tempted. Galatians 6:1.
IT'S TIME TO GO TO WORK
AND QUIT WHINING
Hertford can and ought to have a
chamber of commerce. It is good
news that the need for such an or
ganization, which can be most help
ful in the upbuilding of the com
munity, is realized to the extent that
at last something is to be done about
the matter.
Evervbodv agrees that there is
every reason why a town of the size t
of Hertford should have a chamber of j
commerce, and no good reason whyj
it should not.
The town isn't going to keep step
with other towns unless there is some
kind of an organization at the head
of which there is an man whose job
it is to further the interests of the
town and who is on the alert to take
advantage of every opportunity.
We have all whined a great deal
about the situation that exists now.
We have bewailed the fact tiiat we
have no organization of any kind to
boost the town and to help business;
that nobody tries to boost the town;
that everybody is selfish and looking
out for his own interest, and so on
and so on. That kind of talk has'
been pretty general.
Well's there's a chance to do some
thing about it. A good leader with
proper cooperation from the citizens
of the town, can get things going.
Such an organization would be a
medium through which outside inte
rests could be contacted and through
which the interested outsider could
make contact with business interests
here.
Of course, as everybody knows, a
chamber of commerce, a merchants
association, or whatever you may call
the organization which the citizens
have in mind, is not to be picked up
in the streets; it does not come run
ning when you call; and neither can
it be bought at the dime store.
In other words, it is going to cost
something. It wouldn't be worth
having if it didn't. Somebody has
got to pay the expense of it. Some
body has got to work for it, It
ought not to fall heavily on any one
person or on any one business.
Every public spirited man in the
town ought to feel his responsibility
for his share of the expense.
It seems- to be a good time to stop
whining and to roll up our sleeves
and go to work. We've all got a
chance, or we will have the chance,
of doing our bit.
Wishing for a prosperous town is-
By A. S. F.
'Pre-views of "Country Genlemen,"
which will be shown Friday at The
State indicate that selling worthless
stock to the District Attorney's wife
is hardly a healthful occupation, and
Ola Olson and - Chic Johnson, the
promoters, decide to leave town.
They are joined by Gertie, their ex
secretary, who is angered because
her last salary check was rubber,
and a lot of interesting things hap
pen fast and furious.
Their next exploit is selling oit
stock to some veterans who had just
received their bonus money. When
the veterans realized the stock was
phoney, they throw dynamite into
the oil derrick and to the amazement
of all, oil gushes forth. They say
there is a million and one laughs in
this picture.
"Trail Dust." is a leaf from the
history of the Southwest where
drought often arose to plague the
hardy frontiersmen who came to
wrest a, livelihood from the desert.
It is a typical American saga in
keeping with the rest of the Mul
ford books which for the past twenty
years have been among the most
popular action Western stories, en
joyed throughout the world. Wil
liam Boyd again comes to the screen
as "Hopalong Cassidy" in this pic
ture. "No Regrets," and "Wide
Open Spaces" are featured musical
numbers in "Trail Dust", which will
be shown at The State on Saturday.
The two five dollar bills given
away each Saturday night went to
Hobbsville and New Hope last week.
We wonder where they will go next
Saturday night.
On Monday Robert Montgomery
comes to The State again, this time
in the very popular mystery romance
"Night Must Fall." He is supported
by Rosalind Russell. This picture is
one of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's lat
est productions and has met with
great successes everywhere. It will
only be shown on Monday night.
There is a lot of curiosity as to
what "The Woman I Love," to be
shown on Tuesday night only, is
like. The lead is taken by Paul
Muni, winner of the recent award by
the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences for the best per
formance by an actor in 1936, and
by Miriam Hopkins, internationally
famous actress.
On Wednesday, Prize Night, three
very famous players, Richard Dix,
Dolores Del Rio and Chester Morris,
will appear in "Devil's Playground."
Everybody remembers Richard Dix
from his work in "Cimaron," "Yel
low Dust," "Special Investigator"
and "The Devil's Squadron." Dolo
res Del Rio. 'is a Mexican actress,
whom you will remember in "Flying
Down to Rio," "Wonder Bar", and
"The Widow from Monte Carlo."
Chester Morris' first Hollywood pic
ture was "Alibi,", and this sky
rocketed him to instant fame. Since
then he has appeared in many of
the screen's biggest successes. They
are "The. Big House," "Red Headed
Woman," "Counterfeit," "There
Goes the Bride" and "Public Hero
No. One."

n't going to make the town prospe
rous or bring any business here. Hop
ing somebody is going to come here
and invest capital in some industry
without any inducement on the part
of the town is ridiculous. It is not
done that way nowadays.
If we want prosperity for our town
we've got to go after it, and there is
probably no better way of doing this
than through a good, live chamber of
commerce.
Let's go!
