Job 22:28. We have heard quite a bit lately about a community house for Hert ford. We wonder if the issue is so; dead that it is Dast reviving. It cer - tainly would be an asset to our Town; i as well as a joy. to tnose wno couia use it for various civic undertakings. The G-Men ..have successfully, rounded up a. group 'of,. nit-wits, that sought to overthrow the government of the United States. But, unless the dailies are all wrong, it seems to us that this "catch" is small fry com pared to some of those who -would like a change made in this country. Personally we would like to see this Government round up all of those dissatisfied with our country and ship them back to the land of theii ancestors. It is not impossible. They do it elsewhere, why not here? Re-routing No. 17 The State's proposed re-routing of highway Number 17 so that it will be a more direct route for tourists, that is, if that be the reason,- and cutting out several sharp curves now on thf road seems to us to be a waste of money that could well be spent for better purpose. ; Naturally, we are heartily in favor! of ferquimans .County receiving ' event bit of Stateiddand improve- menu tnat tne county can get, out whes that aid or improvement tends to hinder or work a hardship on any group of residents of Perquimans . . ..then we are against it. And that is exactly what building a new highway through a portion of the bounty, entirely cutting Winfall, now -located on Number 17, off the highway map will do. Several merchants and inhabitants AtrB(ST3Sln. tourist rade M, of Winfall depend greatly upon the the $own to enhance their yearly in come and to lose this tourist trade due to changing of the route would certainly be a handicap to Winfall. If-the main reason for re-routing the road is to do away with the) curves in the road located in Win- i fall, then that can be done, and at less expenses-then building a new i road way around the town. There is plenty of open space curves so that the road can be wid ened and the curves lengthened, thus making Jhe highway a safer right-of-way. It is a certainty that the State would find the folks in Winfall will ing to cooperate in every manner to increase the safety of this road through their town. Ill short, let's keep Winfall Highway Number 17. on BIBLES For Bombs We have heafd much of some as toundlngly effective weapons thq war might, produce. Now comes dis- ' sonh Carolina vJ Pt!

That is the es- Inmate made by the Swiss Press Bu- reau which seldom makes an error. The press release goes into details which are interesting, but the follow ing resume covers the bald facts: 1,480,000,000 human beings occupy ing about 36,000,000 square miles of the earth's surface- are at war; an estimated 613,000,000 persons oc- copying J about 194,644,000 square mfles at peace or somewhere near it, we nave' no comment to, make on the above facts except the cemment implied in those rather ( r,- v.

Welfare Officer for Perquimans, who passes upon the eligibility of WPA workers. The greater portion of these ap plications at this season of the year are made by Negroes, probably,80 percent, with about 20 percent of the applicants being white men. Many of them have worked on WPA in former years, being released during the farming season, but. there are also many additional applications for employment this year, s Each applicant is required to state in his application what time he ex pects to be able to secure farm labor, employment, and at the time stated he will be cut off, in order to release the labor for the farmers when needed. Asked whether or not all who ap plied were certified, Miss Davenport) statea tnat wnen mere was no other source of income they were certified. In those cases, she said. Where some member of the family is employed, with an income sufficient to main tain the family at' the minimum re quirement, the applicant is not cer tified. , ..
