II Cor. 6:2.
Now that the 1940 calendar has
been tacked on the wall, let's hope
that the many New Year's resolutions
last as long as the calendar.
From all that can be gathered, it
looks as though the Center Hill to

It is indeed gratifying to hear the
merchants in general say that they
had "grand business" for the year
ending. According to leports from
Mr. Roger Babson, noted economist,
the early part of 1940 is to be "the
best business season America has en
joyed since 1929." That will be fine,
if the prices for farm produce will
rise in price and keep pace with the
rest of business, thus giving every
body a break.

political and social life; am a mem

Sermon on the Mount to guide my,

However, speaking of organiza

Year's is the logical time for all
Americans to get them clearly in
mind again. In this light, it would
be well for all of us who have this
country's welfare at heart to make a
resolution to "pull together" for the
betterment of our communities; the
preservation of liberty for individualc
and maintenance of government by
our Constitution.
The New Pier
It now looks as if Hertford will
have a bathing pier extending into
Perquimans River for the general use
of the public by next summer. Ac
cording to plans now under way, the
work on the project wiH bi,n soon
and, should be completed by early
spring; tjis giving us a very suit
abjSi place" to enjoy the great out
does, asjwell as the sport of swim
. : S:t;f;.
The pier will not be wholly for
swimmers but, according to the in
formation we have been able to
gather, accommodations are to be
made so that spectators may use the
pier as a place for relaxation.
Of course with the cold weather
now on hand most of us probably

ness, efficiency were certainly quali
ties all in evidence during the Christ

Post Office during the days beforr
Christmas I came out feeling that I
had been in the presence of some per
sonal representttive of Santa Claus.
