For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. James 1 :6j. 7. OUR WAY OF THINKING We don't know a thing in the world about this Czech-German-French-Enarlish tanele. so we -won't attempt to talk about it. All that we have! been able to learn from the daily newspapers is that a lot of long and unpronounceable names over there are doing a lot of talking about fight ing, or not fighting, somebody else. If the peace of this nation is in any manner threatened (and we also don't know whether it is or not) then The Perquimans Weekly sincerely hopes that America will be ready for invasion but otherwise stays entirely out of it. This stand may sound pretty ab surd to the people who know what it's all about, but to we, who don't know, it's our position exactly, invasion of this country or no fight. A PROUD RECORD To talk about a subject The Per quimans Weekly is familiar with, we think the students who have attended the Perquimans County High School within the past 14 years since it was erected, are due considerable credit for the condition of the building. The interior has been painted sev eral times but not to cover unsight ly marks or writings on the walls. There have been none. . Roughly, five thousand students have used those classrooms and corri dors and kept them spotless from the first day. There have been minor acts of vandalism, occasionally raids on the lunchroom, and a broken win dow pane now and then, but no down- right attempts to mar the buddings beauty. The Perquimans Weekly likes to think this attitude is the result of an inheritant respect and appreciation for attractive surroundings, rather than fear of what will happen if; they are caught defacing any part of the building. And in justice to Superin-, tendent Johnson, be it said here that he leaves no doubt as to what would happen if such an act took place, ex pulsion, in short order, with approval from all the other students.

"T1 4 V 'J Maureen O'Sullivan and Robert Thursday and Friday "The Crowd Roars." Robert Taylor plays his first prize fight in "The Crowd Roars," action packed story of the modern prize ring, opening at the State Theatre on Thursday for two days. Maureen O'Sullivan, who played opposite the star in "A Yank at Ox ford," is once again cast as Taylor's heroine in the new picture, and an exceptional cast of prominent screen names includes Edward Arnold as a racketeer, Frank Morgan as Taylor's father, an ex-vaudeville "ham," Wil liam Gargan, Lionel Stander and Jane Wyman. Based on a story by George Bruce, author of "Navy Blue and Gold," the picture reveals behind-the-scene ac tivities of the boxing game, with fSM kitj Chewing The Rag With Lucius Blanchard, Jr. The photograph of Hertford's own "Walking Signpost" certainly got around after it appeared first in lne Perquimans Weekly three issues ago. The local colored man who served as a direction marker at the bridge road intersection on the day of the celebration, has since stared at us from the pages of the News & Observer, The Charlotte Observer, the Daily Advance, the Virginian Pilot, and it probably appeared in' other papers that we didn't see. Messrs. Roberson, Matthews, Brinn, Darden and Perry let the old town in for publicity aplenty when they de cided not to be outdone by the State Highway Department when Hertford was so impolitely snubbed in the mat ter of distance and direction markers i on the " Great Day." The now famous wrong-way flight of Douglas Corrigan is having its in fluence on more than airplanes and flying. In Hertford it influences a merchandise special in the store of J. G. Roberson, where Mr. Roberson is conducting a "wrong-way" sale. Here's the idea: The item is marked I A i I J i!1 IJ . ( Item Will Sell . The marking-down began on Aug- I ust 22, and what happens when and livestock feeds. The book in ,'and if it goes down to nothinp, I eludes chanters on Handling on the Wilbur and I don't know. We wert ; getting a little dizzy over the whoie thing about that time and forgot to ask. In a movie short subject last week WHITESTON NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Winslow and Myrtle Winslow were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Winslow Sun day.

Mr. and Mrs. Willie Winslow and children, of Belvidere, spent the week-end with Mr. Winslow's parents, Mr. and Mm. Lett Winslow. Emmett Winslow and Miss iss Martha ,5;;' Taylor in "The Crowd Roars" Taylor as a pawn Jh ..the shady man ipulations of -a; gambling syndicate ; The CroWy;Roars'' offers Taylor injthe hardest-hitting, role of his ca reer as Tommy ;M$Cjpy, the boy from the wrong side .of tfrer tracks, who fights his way up from the slums to i a chance at tne . ugnt-neavyweignt championship. ' r Three smashing bouts in the color ful setting of Madison Square Garden climax the eventful career of the young fighter, who finds a battle with racketeers more serious than his challenge for the title. The screen play of "The Crowd Roars" is the work of Thomas Len non, George Bruce and George Oppen heimer. The picture was directed by Richard Thorpe. we learned that the lowly peanut so common in Perquimans County and the rest of the section, has more than 140 by-products, including soaps, face creams, coffee, breakfast foods, paper and dyes. Even now, George Washington Carver, southern slave family darkey, who discovered most of these uses for peanuts, is working on another, and probably his most humanitarian effort, transforming the peanuts into an element for the making of a mas sage compound, destined to restore the use of limbs made inactive by in fantile paralysis. Speaking of inventions, what do you suppose they'll think of next? Now these fellows who invent things have developed an electric baby blanket which automatically adjusts itself to varying room temperatures. Probably the next step is an auto matic tone control for babies soft crying at night and full volume foi the daylight hours. Attention, bird hunters.
