THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT 4
DO IT TODAY: Boast not thy
self of tomorrow; for thou knowest
not what a day may bring forth.
Proverbs 27:1.
"TOE CLEANEST COUNTY"
"Let's make Perquimans the clean
est county in the State." The sug
gestion comes from Miss Gladys
Hamrick, chairman of "Better Homes
in America," who is leading in the
clean-up campaign. Perquimans is
going to cooperate in a big way with
the national movement of "Better
Homes Week," April 24-30.
Well, why not?
There seems to be no real reason
why Perquimans shouldn't be clean.
There appears to be a general spirit
of cooperation in the movement, and
if everybody wants to clean up we
can have a clean county, maybe tne
cleanest county.
"DAFFODIL TOWN"
"Daffodil Town," a visitor once
dubbed Hertford upon seeing tne
profusion of golden yellow blooms
which grow in every garden and on
many lawns of the town.
Appearing nearly a month ahead of
their usual appearance, some of the
earliest have begun to fade, giving
place to white jonquils, purple and
white iris, tulips and other early
flowers, but still many golden daffo
dils of a later blooming strain are
to be seen. They do add much to the
beauty of the place.
REMEMBER!
Town Crier, don't forget your
meeting tonight. It is to be at 8
o'clock, at the courthouse, remember.
Your presence may help to make
your town a better place to live in.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Dear Editor:
Your paper this week interested
me particularly 'with its news story
and editorial concerning the Town
Criers. The items of which you
speak as being matters of immediate
interest to the Criers seem to be
much to the point and I am glad to
note that you support the same in
your editorial.
I should like, through this letter
to you, to make a few remarks con
cerning two of the items mentioned.
Of course, I shall attempt to attend
the meeting and there voice my sen
timents. However, I am not opti
mistic about making myself heard.
Judging from the last two meetings
of the Town Criers, it seems to be
fairly impossible for an ordinary
member to make himself heard
through thevolubility of the Chair
man and the noisy presence of Mes
srs. Roberson and Jillson.
What is meant by the Town Plan
ning Committee, I cannot, of course,
know to a certainty, but if by plan
ning committee is meant a group of
three men, more or less, who will
keep steadily in mind the possibility
of improvement in our town in all
departments of its life, and will
think out those problems and suggest
solutions, and bring those solutions
to the attention of the Town Crie'rs,
and so to the community as a whole,

I feel that they would be doing a
very great service to the commun
ity. But the range of their interest
should not -be limited. It should in
elude, roughlysoggestions for just
exactly such improvements as our
worthy Mayor hs made already in
opening. un the ' alley back, oz our
business houses facing on Church
Street, and the widening to Its origi
nal .width . of . Grubb. Street between
the Chevrolet Garage and Front
Street. ' uj M f , '
As to the committee on ' recrea
tions and sports, it does seem to me
that a great deal might be done un
der the chairmanship of a man of
such general public interest and sym pathy
with all the athletic activities
of the younger generation, vis:
Wayne Hefren. Could we not have
during the summer, in addition to
tennis and Softball, also a purely
local amateur group of baseball
players, having a series of games
either between themselves or certain
like amateur teams of neighboring
towns? Nor is it too early to look
forward to the fall, when we could
have organized basketball, or even
football, or soccer.
With anyone on the committee like
Dr. Zachery, there is no need to
suggest that we cannot leave the
Perquimans River out of account in
any scheme of organized recreation.
Sincerely,
A. T. CRIER.

Interest Increasing In
Clean-Up Campaign
i ii J. i i . i i
The' Clean-Up Campaign . - in Per
quimans will be well under way long
before the 24th of April, which is
the official beginning of "Better
Homes Week." ,
The idea of cleaning .up appears
to have taken hold everywhere. Miss
Gladys Hamrick, Chairman of Better
Homes in America, has enlisted the
aid of the home demonstration: club
members all over the . county, and
that group are real workers. Also,
Mrs. J. G. Roberson, president of the
Hertford Woman's Club, another
group of workers, is organised for
business and her club : women are
rolling up their sleeves and getting
ready for business. Mayor . Whedbee
is also cooperating whole-heartedly
in the movement, as well as the en
tire Town Council, and the civil
body of men, The Town Criers.
Not only the white citirens, but
the colored people are organised, and
by the time "Clean-Up Week" ac
tually is ushered in there will he so
much preliminary work done in the
way of cleaning that it will probably
only be necessary in many places to
make the finishing touches..
