Matt. 13-45, 46. WE'LL BE THERE! The choosing of Perquimans Coun ty's little pages on the Albemarle Sound Bridge Celebration tonight is another step forward toward comple tion of this county's plans for partic ipation in the bridge celebration leaving partially undone only the matter of the float fo be entered in the pageant. The county's $293 allottment to the general celebration fund is in the hands of the treasurer and plans for the float are already under consider ation. Everything is coming along just fine with local enthusiasm gain ing in volume with the passing of every day that brings us closer to August 25th. The float, we understand, will be constructed along lines in accord witn the State's oldest recorded land deal. Our pioneer English settler and Dur ant's Neck namesake, George Durant, portrayed in character by some local person, stands receiving an impres sively scrolled land srrant from the TJ: ' -u: ir.-n, " I xul., . very elective, ine rerquimans Weekly thinks, and the best basis for a l 4... -..,1,1 oolr , ..v, ....,, , .. i 11 ' 1 i ' . 1 1 1. il I au mis activity orings uucn me memory of Sheriff J. E. Winslow's statement last week. Sheriff Winslow is head of the county's finance com mittee and he said, "all this hoey about Perquimans County not being interested in the bridge opening- is a lot of bunk." It begins ta appear that he was right. BRIDGE WILL ATTRACT TOURISTS "Forecast of gasoline demand for August indicates an increase of one per cent over last year's August to tal," according to R. Bruce Ethe ridge, director of the Department of Conservation and Development at Raleigh and also director of the Carolina Motor Club, in the Views and Observations column on the back page of today's News and Observer. "At the recent meeting of the AAA clubs in Asheville," Director Ethe ridge goes on to say, "Russell E. Singer, general manager of the AAA, estimated that approximately $500, 000,000 is the average annual expen diture of vacationists in the 11 south eastern states." It's Paul Green's Lost Colony over on Roanoke Island that's the major factor in bringing this section's share of that half a billion dollars to cities, towns and filling stations along Albemarle highways. And with the paving of N. C. highway 94 from Plymouth to Washington the new bridge across Albemarle Sound is -going to be another not inconsid erable factor in bringing tourist traffic through this area. The Daily Advance. TOO SERIOUS TO HANDLE LIGHTLY It was with amazement that The Perquimans Weekly learned of the acquital of a Dare County man charged with driving drunk, in the face of testimony offered by five members of the State Highway Pa trol. Wednesday's final edition of The Daily Advance stated that a six man jury "wasted" no mare than five minutes in returning a verdict of not guilty in the case of J. M. Berry, of ficer in the National Park Service. Almost two hours were required in getting the testimony before the jury, according to the Elizabeth City pa 4er. The State's array of five offi cers, including a captain, a lieutenant, a corporal and two patrolmen, were lined up. against nine witnesses for the defense. Direct and glaring conflict in testi mony is indicated; Lieutenant Jones - declaring, "he was staggering drunk," while the defendant's first witness, , J. W. Dawson, said, "no drunk man could have driven out of the place he was coming from." ;. One officer might be mistaken and excused, but The Perquimans Weekly . fails to understand how the testi mony of five patrolmen could be so lightly weighed by the; jury. On the other hand, one man might J be mis taken about his own condition, hut eight witnesses swore they saw noth HOPEWELL NEWS- ',"V,, ' '''wNMM ' 'ty' ''''' '- V'r''': Mr. and Mrs. George Cadilac and children.

Nixon and daughter, Mildred, and Mr. Burgess, of Emporia, Va., were guests in the R. S. Ward home at dinner Sunday. Mr. Nixon and Mr. Burgess returned to Emporia in the afternoon, but Mrs. Nixon and Miss Mildred re mained for a few days' visit. Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Ward and children were in Edenton Saturday evening. Mrs. Ollie Jordan and three small children visited her parents at Chuckatuck, Va., Wednesday. Mrs. H. H. Lane, her son, Herbert Ray, and her nephew, Grady Brad ford, spent the week-end at Ocean View, Va. Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Hollowell, Guy, Aubrey and Anne, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Craft and Mrs. L. F. Craft, of Eden ton, visited Mrs.' Harriett Parks on Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Davis and daughter, Lois, from near Sign Pine, spent the day with Mrs. Parks. Miss Eunice Hobbs, of Hobbsville, was the guest of Miss Daphne Ward during the week-end. Miss Gertrude Jackson attended a family reunion at the home of Mr. ing out of the way in Berry's condi tion. In our opinion, the crime of driv ing while drunk is' one of the most brazen and dangerous examples of disregard for the rights and safety of others, and should be dealt with by every weapon the statute provides. However, the blight left by convic tion on a drunken driving charge is also a serious matter and every pre caution should be brought into play on the part of the arresting officer in making certain that the suspect is under the influence of intoxicants. The Dare County jury evidently be lieved that Berry was not drunk and took little time in making itsdecision despite the patrol. Under other circumstances. Berry may have been convicted and branded as a drpnken driver, probably losing his job in the process, and if he was drunk the jail is too good for him. But if he was not (and the jury says he was not) then his rights were also well looked after ... and should have been. "He nicked one car on the way out of the, parking space," testified a patrolman, "and. then backed on across the road and into a patrol car," quotes The Daily Advance. The mere face value of a slight acci dent should not stand as indisputable evidence that a driver is drunk even when a patrol car is involved. Let us hope that the presence of a superior officer does' not inspire -the officers of lowlier station ' to become over-zealous- in ' doing thelrdv. The stain and soar left by a "drunken driving" brand are too lasting to :c handled lightly. I SOAY SCHOOL LESSflU II THE RELATION OF TEMPERANCE TO CHAKACTKK International Sunday School Lesson - for August 14, 1938 Golden Text: Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler; and who soever erreth thereby is not wise." Lesson Text: Proverbs 4:10-23; 1 Tnessaloniaiis 5KS-8 In the beginning the discussion of the lesson for this week the writer, called upon to take the place of the regular author of this column, feels that the reader should be so advised. The substitution is only for the pres- J nt lesson. The lesson text from Proverbs should be carefully read. It is the voice of antiquity, speaking words of wisdom. One might easily take the text as an expression of the Bible itself, urging human beings to "re ceive my sayings" in order that the "years of thy life shall be many." Particularly impressive are the re ferences to the "path of the wicked" where "they eat the bread of wicked ness and drink the wine of violence." And, then who can fail to be im pressed with the importance of the "sayings" that "are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." We call attention to these quota tions in the hope that they may lead some readers to turn to their Bible and read the full text. It should prove helpful to those individuals who are seeking to live in accordance with Divine laws and inspire them to med Nation in an effort to become atuned to the Divine command. Uaann ,. K iaV.n in many classes as one applicable solely to the alcoholic evil, is much broader and the individual who attempts to limit its usefulness will miss much of its grandeur. In every phase of nuence. L,ue snow temperately and this warning thought JM-l8hould be with U8 all as we translate I our personalitie8 into deede and words ! r . ........ I contact witn otner nu- man beings. There are many that teach temper ance by stressing its restraining in fluence upon what some of us are in clined to call the "things of evil." We seldom reflect upon the implications that temperance reflects upon some of the things that we associate , with and Mrs. Charlie Chappell, at Chap pell Hill, Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. H. I.

She holds a position with the Ann Jones, and Keller Beauty Salon. . : " Mr. Bates is attached to the Ui S. S. Yorktown, of the U. S. Navy.

Temperance in life meant balance; it negatives intolerance just as .much as it denies eviL, . -, ; tWe are all famUiair with the indi vidual,; Identified in 'our thinking, as an example of wickedness. Here the personality seems to be in league with the forces of darkneBS. It gives way to appetites and passions and certain ly needs the lesson of temperance, as a stepping stone toward better living. We do not undeistand so well the lesson that temperance carries to the individual of righteousness, the man or woman so inclined to the belief that what he or she does and thinks is what every man or woman should do or think. We overlook the teach ing of temperance in international affairs and continue to worship blind ly, at times, at the shrine of mis called patriotism, blatantly assuming and some times asserting, our super iority to other nations and other peoples. We arrogantly accept our selves as the "chosen people" of God! If temperance in liiV means bal ance, then the excesses that lead us to either side of the narrow path are evil. The fanatical zeal that shows a "holier than thou" attitude toward mankind may, possibly dp the ultimate purposes of God as much harm as some excess of bad habits. Certain ly, it will obscure the search for truth by the individual, which is a great damage to the development of the spirit. The individual, seeking the devel opment of perfect character, and its expression in life, which seems to us to be the goal of revelation, must not lose sight of ultimate truth in the presence of fogs that accompany our interpretation of truth. It is not ir religious to earnestly seek to distin guish the Divine from the Human, and to look with faith toward the Light from God that shines upon mankind, but must pierce the frail ties of. human flesh. Undoubtedly, appetites, passions, ambitions, ignorance and other hu man forces, tend to obscure our vis ion of God and ?ur understanding of His purposes. The very teachings of Christ have been "interpreted" by human beings into many varied and diverse meanines both in the world Jnd fn T years Sat have luul1 "u 1,1 "Ie fCarS Ulttt nVe passed. To divorce our beings of this human handicap, it is necessary to be temperate in regards to the "things of evil." It is also necessary to be "on guard" against the errors that spring from human nature it self if we expect, eventually, to arrive at perfect truth and to express it in our own character.
