SIMPLE, AFTER ALL Tl U 4. 4. 1 n njmnla WiattDP tfll clear up this business of whether or not Hertford is to have gas stations open on Sunday. With respect to the sentiment of the public, it is inconceivable that any citizen of the town should wish the gas stations to be open against the wishes of the owners and man agers. Anybody desiring to purchase gas or oil has only to drive across the Causeway or out to the other end of town to get all he wishes outside the town limits, so that the stations closed in town inconvenience no one. There seems to be little doubt as to the sentiment of the men who are most affected, the service station owners and managers. All but one favor continuing the service stations closed. They want a holiday on Sun day. They are saying so in a paid advertisement in this newspaper, in which they state that they will not open their stations on Sunday. One station asks to remain open. If this one continues to remain open on Sunday it will naturally follow in time that all must be open. There are four against this one, quite a majority. Regardless of whether or not the City Fathers consider open gas sta tions a desecration of the Sabbath and as such not to be tolerated, they ought, it seems to us, to be guided by the wishes of the men most affect ed by the decision, or a majority of them, the men who work long hours of every week day and whose simple desire for a holiday on Sunday is more important to them than the ex tra money they might earn. GYPSY TRIAL DRAWS BIG CROWD TUESDAY TO COURT (Continued From Page One) the two companions of the Gypsy girl, who took the stand in her own behalf. Her statements didn't jibe. She sold baskets which her brothers made of willow, she said. But there were not any baskets in the car. She ad mitted visiting Mrs. Lane but insist ed that Mrs. Lane gave her the mon ey and that without even being asked for it, just up and gave it to her. She vowed it had never entered her mind to tell Mrs. Lane anything about the one hundred and five devils, which, even Mr. Sawyer admitted were "too many." She never, never suggested that Mrs. Lane give her any more money, she swore. She said Mrs. Lane gave her the blankets. She denied that she had returned on Monday for the purpose of getting more money. Asked by prosecuting attorney, Charles Johnson, why she returned on Monday, she said she returned to find out if Mrs. Lane really wanted to give her the blankets. "You have just stated that she gave them to you did you want her to give them to you again?" asked Mr. Johnson. "I wanted to know if she gave them to me freely, with all her heart," she said. ' They are a roaming people, these Romany folk, and this particular band must keep right on with their roaming at least for a time, for that was a part of Judge McNiders judgment- The girl was required to re turn the $4.10 and the, blankets to Mrsj Lane; W' pay the court jsostst amounting to around 116.95, and. also to pay iftvfins IOO,, Sha wss also'sentenced to. six months in jai, with; a good vdeal ji(toljN,H)s Honor about cleaning,, up the courthouse and the Jail, gashing windows and scrub bing floors. That Jail sentence .will never, never be. served, however, for Judge McjNlder had no idea of keep ing that Gypsy. band : in camp here abouts for an indefinite period land he put in a proviso, that eapius is not to issse until April 20. ! So the Gypsy girl s will not wash windows or scrub floors, or do any of those irksome things, for the broad highways stretch to the far horizon, it is spring, and the' whole .wide world beckons. ,, ; Tht pony zpretf, research discovered, was not an America institution bom of necessity,.

From all accounts chaos is spread' ing among the nations across the seas, playing havoc with commerce and living conditions. Fear is growing that at any hour a general war may burst on Europe, sweeping defenseless countries In its wake. The rule of reason over there has disappeared; the rules of might prevail and fear of war has spread to and invaded our shores. Every where I go in Washington or in North Carolina I am greeted with the similar question: "Senator, do you think we are going to have war?" Our people realize what is taking place , over there. With radio and telegraphic communications, news paper and air-mail reports, it is but natural that America is well inform ed as to European and Asiatic devel opments. True, a large percentage of the news that reaches here from abroad is strictly censored, but suf ficient facts are revealed to warn the United States of the war condi tions prevalent all over the world. The rash boasts and the dire threats of arrogant dictators hurled at peace-loving nations is a manifes tation of the ugly temper of the power-crazed rulera. It is for this reason that the American people are greatly con cerned, yes fearful, and justly so, over the foreign situation, because the wounds suffered by thousands of our youth, in the World War have not as yet healed. The scars are still fresh in memory. The twenty-odd billions of dollars that we loaned to the Allies remains unpaid. tw. Kt, o wJ defaulted not only on the principal , but scornfully have refused to pay TTi1a Sam anv lntawaaf An1 f Via war that was to make the' world safe for democracy and Christianity cost the people of the United States around $65,000,000,000 to date. Conservative estimators vouchsafe the opinion that ere the last United States war bond is redeemed and the last surviving veteran goes to his nnai rewara, uie worio. war wiu- nnn nn uuntry iuu,vw,uuU,- 000.00. As referred to a moment ago, the wounds afflicted on our soldiers have not as yet healed the American mothers and fathers are still mourn ing for their loved ones who lost their lives in that conflict. So it is no wonder it is no sur prise that America as a whole is determined to stay out' of war America is not now, nor has it ever been an agressor Nation America TAYLOB EDENTON, N. C.
