THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT
GOD'S EVERLASTING LOVE
The Lord hath 'appeared of old unto
me. savin. Yea. I have loved thee
with an everlasting love, therefore
with loviniHdndness have I drawn
thee. Jeremiah 81:3.
MR. AND MRS. C. F. SUMNER, SR.
'Congratulations to Hertford's long
est wedded couple, Mr. and Mrs. C.
F. Sumner, Sr., whose fifty-fifth
wedding anniversary was observed
on last Sunday. Congratulations and
hfearty good wishes that the remaind
er of .their lives together may be
blessed with the happy companion
ship of their fine family of sons aiyl
daughters and the pleasant associa
tion of the friends they have made
throughout the long years of useful
living.
MAY THEY BOTH COME BACK
',' While, there is practically no appre
hension that both the Rev. D. M.
Sharpe, pastor of the Hertford
Church, and the Rev. W. G. Lowe,
who is in charge of the Perquimans
Circuit, both of whom ere attending
the annual Conference of the M. E.
Church, South, at Raleigh, will not
be returned to their respective fields,
the Methodist system being what it
k, there is never any absolute cer
A tainty of a minister returning. Some
times,' regardless of the fact that a
minister is known as a "four year
man" and that his services have been
most satisfactory in the field where
he is placed, conditions arise else
where which necessitates his removal
to another charge.
Mr. Sharpe has been in Hertford
for only two years and Mr. Lowe
came to Perquimans, juat . a year ago..
Each is greatly beloved in his own
'church, and each is highly regarded
by Perquimans people generally.
.' The Perquimans Weekly ' expresses
the hope that they will both be re
turned. There is believed to be little
cause for alarm, but every one will
3e glad when the appointments have
kbeen read and the general expectation
is confirmed.

THE FUN
Place a clean dry saucer or plat
ter upon a table. Take a pencil,
eraser end down, and hold it against
the platter at an angle of about- 45
degrees. Push firmly hi an endeavor
to move the pencil across the plat
ter. You will find that the platter
moves and may even push the table
covering or table Itself.
Place a small quantity of water
In the platter and repeat. You will
find the pencil eraser now moves
across the platter with very little
effort. We might say that' It "skids"
across the platter. There will be no
tendency to move the dish.

THE FACTS
On a clean, dry pavement, your
tires exert a very strong push. It la
this push which moves your car for
ward. When the pavement is wet.
your tires have a tendency to repeat
the eraser and wet platter perform
ance. This may prove to be danger
ous If you try to atop Quickly or
change your direction suddenly.
Other conditions which tend to
cause similar results are wet leaves,
car tracks, oil, ice and snow. Under
such circumstances, whenever you
feel impatient, just remember the
wet eraser.

peanut factory would be of great
benefit to our community. - If this,
were the '.case more W our local
farmers could sell iheinproducts right
here In our own' county rather 'than
to other places sometimes 'even out

would even encourage the growth of
more peanuts. What would please us

Farm Kitchens Have
Their Faces Lifted
Three hundred and twenty-six
North Carolina farm i home kitchens
are having "their faces lifted" in a
contest sponsored by home demon
stration workers of the State College
extension service.' - V

"Those dark, dusty grab-all, Hide
away pantries and cupboards are go
ing to be done away with or else be
paven more light and made usuable.
"These kitchens "are going to be
attractive with ?: soft, I pleasing walls

they wffl be." ;vf:-:i.-f t.
An Efficient kitcheaj" jhe said, re
quires a separate working surface for
each kind of work to be done, the ar
rangement of large equipment in
step-saving sequences, r that working
surfaces be close together, that
equipment be at a convenient height,
and that small equipment be grouped
around the center where it is first
used.
Finding the correct height ; for
wprking surfaces, so that women
can work without stooping or unnec
essarily straining their bodies, is of
utmost importance she. continued.
To find this height, she said, stand
erect, rest the arm comfortably
against the body, and bend the elbow
at a right angle. Then measure the
distance from elbow to floor, and
subtract eight inches to get proper
height for working surfaces.
Again, stand erect. Place hands
palm down at a comfortable height
on an imaginary table. If this dis
tance from the floor differs with tiiat
obtained from the first measurement,
divide the difference.
The contest, under the direction of
Pauline Gordon, extension specialist
in home management, and her assist
ant, Mamie. N. Whisnant, is being
conducted in Alexander, Avery, Cald
well, Chatham, Davie, Haywood,
Orange, Polk, Surry, and Watauga
Counties.
