If the football team is a lone wolf, representing nothing more than a football team, then Hertford need feel no. shame for the shabby lot of uniforms worn by the local boys against Columbia Friday. On the other hand if the Hertford boys are accepted by the towns they visit as delegates ' from this town then Hertford ie allowing a miserably attired delegation to reflect the back ing and support given it by the local people. The battle-scarred uniforms, if they may be called uniforms, are 'seeing their sixth year of wear and tear and the ragged remnants are not ones to inspire a warrior to combat On the contrary, the decrepit - attire gives the opposition a handicap even be fore the game begins. In short, The Perquimans Weekly thinks that when the local boys win a game, Hertford cannot, without misgivings, claim a victory. The cre dit belongs entirely to the boys who played and since they are given no support in any degree, either morally or financially, no glory can, be reflect ed in Hertford because they . won. There's one for 'The- Town "Criers?' THE! TOWN CRIERS The membership of the newly formed organization, . The .Town Criers, has increased since - the last meeting of the executive committee from, 53 to about 80, and before the first meeting of the organization which is to be held , on Friday night will in all probability number a hundred. It fa going to be interesting to fol low the proceedings of The Town Criers. The membership includes some potential : Headers and many who have ideas as to the manner m which f our town can be improved. Moreover,' this will be the first op portunity most of these men have had of putting across the ideas they have' for the betterment of the com rounity. The heartening thing is that there are so many of the young men f the, town in the group. The editor of The Perquimans Weekly is proud of the position" of secretary to the Town Criers. Itis going to be a pleasure to record the efforts of a band of men, a hundred strong, who are organized for the sole purpose of making the home town a better, place in which to live, A PICTURE ALL SHOULD SEE The Perquimans Weekly does not attempt to review or preview motion pictures, but if it were called upon to pick the most powerful and com pelling release of the year, that pic ture would be "The Devil Is Driving," shown at the State Theatre in Hert ford last week. Those lights flashing on the map in the office of the district attorney every few seconds and signifying a major auto smashup with every flash, brought to us much clearer than thousands of words and figures a con . ception of the staggering death toll on the highways of America every . day, , the thousands of people, march- . mg eacn one. - representing a me " lost through traffic mishaps last year, the grief -stricken husband and 'father whose wife was killed and whose daughter was rendered an 'in valid for life the result of a crash ''with a drunken driver. Discounting, the picture's plot in its entirety, "The Devil Is Driving" 'might be Said to ' be a campaign . against, -traffic, deaths in itself. It would be well' 'if, law .enforcement ; agencies made ' use of this . fihn in ' their efforts to control a situation ' which becomes more grave each day. " To require each convicted law vio- .; Jator .and each applicant for a driv er's permit to see this picture, might 'be effective 'to some extent, in redue , ing the hazards of the highway. f - i , r.n V , Richard Turner . of .Tennessee has :' become impatient over ' his wife's I delay in returtiirj home from, a visit, 'r an J r-s t"i Ict t Ivorce.
