acknowledgment
It is with a tinge of sadness that
the editor lays down her' work on
The Perquimans Weekly, though it is
passed on into hands which in all
probability will do a better job than
she has done.
When the initial issue of The Per
quimans Weekly made its appearance
four years ago there appeared in the
introductory editorial the following
paragraph :
"It is the aim of The Perquimans
Weekly to be a real community news
paper. We shall not take on city
airs. We do not aspire to be other
than a country weekly. But we do
expect to be a good country news
paper, filled with news which is in
teresting to our own people. Our
columns will carry stories of home
folks, and will discuss questions of
inerest to Perquimans County. To
this end, we ask the cooperation of ,
our people. It will be necessary to j 9. What is the debt of the Demo

make a success. We want a good 10. What is the population of
Pereuimans County newspaper. You
want a good Perquimans County
newspaper, .together we can make
one."
Looking backwards to that time, it
might appear from the last sentence
of that paragraph that we were a
little cocksure. However, it must be'
owned that we received in full meas-
ure that cooperation which we asked
of Perquimans County folks.
Of necessity we are only a country
weekly. Regardless of whether or t
not we have become a good country,
weekly, the people of Perquimans
have certainly done their part.
It ia to those to whom we owe
whatever measure of success we have
attained that we would at this time
make grateful acknowledgment.
In the first place, our county peo
pie have subscribed to the home
le S
rli
newspaper, which was the first re
quisite. Many of these subscribers,
as they renewed their subscriptions
from year to year, took occasion to
speak kindly words of praise which,
whether we merited them or not.

effort.

As a matter of fact, the greatest
tragedy of fire is that it is almost
always unnecessary. Every year we
burn up resources and property val
ued at hundreds of millions of dol
lars. We destroy thousands of lives.
The indirect fire loss runs into the
billions, and is reflected in unemploy
ment, less business, reduced spend
ing power. This toll is the result of
carelessness, ignorance or just plain
laziness. It may be that the unpre
ventable fire exists but it is a very
rare exception indeed. Human fail
ure underlies at least nine fires out
of ten.
A little care and thought on your
part may save your home or some
one else's from destruction. It may
save a life. Don't forget that.

average and therefore generally fav

keep posted as to National hog con

worry about future .markets, even
though hogs snotua ga lower, until
we really get into the hog business.
Hog production in the South is still a
sideline a sideline that we need to
continue and enlarge. - We need not
only more hogs, but more poultry,
more beef animals and more milch
cows on Southern farms. The agri
cultural South desperately needs a
better balance between crops and
livestock.

to save extra by getting the cheapest
dress that can be found.
Look at the center front, back of
dress at the neck, and the cap of the
sleeves to see that these lines are on
the lengthwise thread rather than
crosswise.
Be sure that the material has been
preshrunk. If not, the first cleaning
may result in ripped armholes and
drawn back that looks too small.
Take time to look at the seams,
inside as well as outside. The seams
in a good dress are wide and finished,
so they will not pull out or fray. I
However, closely woven cloths
such as cotton broadcloth does not
fray so easily as the more loosely
woven fabrics, and the seams do not
have to be as deep to hold firmly.
Children's clothes should be con
sidered as carefully as those for
adults. Garments should be full and
roomy. Children are active, do a lot
