THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT COURAGE IS FORTIFIED BY FAITH: By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Hebrews 11:27. LET'S HONOR MOTHER Wear a white rose, and take flow ers to the cemetery. Or wear a red rose on Mother's Day, and send Mother gifts of flowers or finery Write her a long letter; or, better still, go to see her and give her of your time. Show her a little special attention next Sunday, talking with her about the things that interest you. Personally, we like Mother's Day. Most mothers do. And the children like it. Fathers, too, enjoy the fuss that the children make over Mother on this day that has been set aside for her. That the day has been too much commercial! red, too much advertised, is often complained of, not, perhaps, without cause. Stm, there are doubt less many sons and daughters who would not remember to do the little things which mothers enjoy on that day but for the advertisements. And if sometimes money is spent foolishly for Mother on this day, what of it? Plenty is spent foolishly otherwise. If pocketbooks are a lit tle strained for Mother, what of it? If she is the right kind of Mother she deserves it. Yes, it is well that we have Moth er's Day. There were some little matters which ought to have been called to the attention of sons and daughters, anyhow. And now on Mother's Day it is all brought up, and., Mother's virtues are sung, and attention is called to Mother's sacri fices and Mother's love and care. And everybody takes a day off every yea to honor Motive, . "fiddlesticks,'' says Mother to all that, "I haven't made any sacrifice. I enjoyed it all." Nevertheless, she likek to be fussed over and enjoys the Day. But, after all, there is much more to honoring Mother than the obser vance of Mother's Day. One day in the year to give Mother presents, to send her telegrams, to visit her, isnt enough. For if we would honor Mother we must do it every day in the year. Mot that we must send her gifts, and write her letters, and visit her, every day in the year. But the boy and girl, the man and woman, who truly honor Mother, are those who in the manner of their daily living Crown her with honor. It is the mother whose sons and daughters reflect in their daily live HOME RUNS AND UOME WORK A. 1 . - " VINSON- K , ' 7- . T f spect to making this building safe must be done at once. Not only will it take time to do the work, as the building must be in readiness for the opening of school next fall, but funds for doing the work must be provided for, and the county budget will be made up shortly. The Town Criers seem to have started something. The Perquimans Weekly confidently believes the Town Criers will take the further steps necessary to put the machinery in motion to make the Hertford Gram mar School building safe.

C. those principles and virtues which she , Cartwright on ' Sunday. strove to instill in tne Hearts oi ner children, who is honored on Mother's Day, and honored every day in the year. AN UNSIGHTLY SPOT It has been viewed with surprise; it has been viewed with distaste. In fact,, it has been viewed often with downright disgust But the situa tion remains unchanged, for appar ently nothing can be done about that unsightly spot on the prettiest of Hertford's streets. At least nothing has been done, though a vigorous clean-up campaign which accomplish ed much has just closed. Reference is made to the west side of that section of Front Street be tween the Courthouse Square and the vicinity of Grubb Street. A BIG JOB There's a big job to be done in Hertford, and it must be done at once. The school year is over. The hun dreds of children who gathered daily throughout the school year in the auditorium where there might have occurred such a catastrophe as wduld have wrecked many a happy home have all mercifully escaped such a fate; The inspector sent down by the State says that was luck. Maybe it was. But we can no longer trust to luck. ;' There never was any excuse for the disinterested attitude of those children in this situation, i The Town Criers, that organization whose objective is to make Hertford a better place in which to live, start ed the baU rolling when they began an investigation' of the, fire hazard at this school - last winter.
