' FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1940 BIBLE THOUGHT FOB WEEK WHO CAN CREATE A BLADE OF GRASS t The -Spirit of God " hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Job. It (Beltane It is our belief that for the better ment of Hertford business that we need to increase our payrolls. It is ur belief that this can be done. In 19S9 there were 219 new plants brought to North Carolina. Yester day we read that the Town of Wind sor may be the site of a new indus try in that town. . If placed in Windsor this plant will increase the payrolls by f 6,250 a month, or $75,000 a year. In addi tion it will use timber for materials which will further increase money circulation in lhat section. Windsor was selected as a possible site for this plant because a public spirited citizen sold the plant offi cials on Windsor as the site for their plant. It can be done here, too. Provid ing every citizen in Hertford makes himself a committee to sell Hertford. Where Credit Is Due Small note has been made of the ' fact that the Celebration of, the President's Birthday was staged in a hall at no rental charge to the spon sors. The Perquimans Weekly thinks it proper to publicly acknowledge the generosity of Morgan Walked who --offered the use of his halj. Not once, but three times has Mr. Walker furnished the hall for Cele brations of the President's Birthday . . . each '.ime without charging ren tal. IMike Edenton with its Armory, and Elizabeth City with its gymnas ium, Hertford does not boast a public buildine available for such nurposeB. Without Walker's facilities, Hertford would be at a loss to stage a "dance that others may walk." Where Else But Here? A thousand important business men turning aside from their expensive duties to join in a fight against the; silent death, Infantile Paralysis; to I stand between it and the "little peo ,ple." ' A whole nation pausing in its busy : whirl to lend a band . . . to help those who cWt help themselves. It's heart-warming. The radio Tuesday night carried its listeners across the country . . . from the White House, through Chi cago, Omaha, to Portland, Oregon. Everywhere, important figures in the business world, the entertainment world, were dedicating themselves and their services (expensive ser vices) to the Celebration of the Pres ident's Birthday and the March of Dimes. They are "Big People" . . . people who can help themselves, who can have anything that money can buy. But for one night, anyway, on the occasion of the President's 58th birthday, they are looking out for the "little people, . . . lending their support and their time to one of the worthiest crusades in history. It was Beautiful. It's the Essence of Americanism. Don't Snub the Census Taker ; By a curious circumstance it wap & mistakenly stated in a usually reli jaMe journal recently, and unfortu j.inately repeated in these colmns, thai -t no law required a person in th? " - United States to answer the ques tions of a census taker. ,7,- The gathering of information in a decennial census is such a public ser Avice that probably almost no citizen ever thinks otherwise than of wish ing to be helpful in the undertaking. -Yet the director of the census, Wil - Jiam L. Austin, has issued a memo . randum pointing out that a person : may fined vp to 10Q or sentenced . 9 .CO days ii jail for refusal to an ' v'er a census qnestioir,for may pay a s'ill higJiP "penalty forgiving inten t ir.Iy fcicorrect, information. --At ' j f-ie.iie census r employees are . 'rcJ.to keep such infer . '(" :..tiaL A fine of ?1,000, or-two years imprisonment or oth might follow (the divulging ot.Ber tonal data to aa outsider. v . ; Vbder- these conditions it Is not worth the price to try. to keep a toe.' ret from the census taker-Jbris- tian Science Monitor.' ; ( 'r: They Done It Congratulations are in order , to Edenton. - - - The capital of Chowan County has done exactly what this newspaper urged local civic leaders to do more than a year an ... Negotiations have been completed which will bring two northern base ball teams to Edenton for five weeks spring training. The boys will bunk at the hotel, Use the new ball park, spend money in a hundred different ways, and add a bit of. new life to an alert little southern town. 1 Congratulations, Edenton. We envy you. Hertford didn't life a finger to get one of . the teams here fox. spring training. SO WHAT? By WHATSO GRACE AND RHYTHM UNDI I.TTTKJO. the dance and poetry of motion. The President's Biruway Ball at 'Walker's ball room. We did have a good time. The music was good, the floor was in as good shape as care and effort could get a ana fha lAnnratinn were tasteful. - But wbiXa tm teat a lot of fun Out of it I do not believe that we did the suf ferers from Infantile paralysis much good and, after, all, that was the purpose f the danceto raise mon ey for the infantile raraiysis rouw dation. The overhead that is to, RAV. th Mtt tof the music was so great that the net returns were all too small. I wonder if it is out of order to suggest that now, while we are thinking about it, would be a good time .to plan so that another year when we have our annual Presi dent's Ball we could have not only a mighty good time, but also have a better net return. I think we could. This column is open to suggestions. IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO GIVE. You may not have gone to the dance, or you may have gone and had such a good time that you feel quite sure that you got more than your money's worth. In that case run in . and see Mr. Howard Pitt at the Court House, who has charge of the local Infan tile Paralysis Fund, and give him a dollar or whatever you think you can afford. JUIST HOW BAD IS IT this uretiu uiartust: uwt uic iiunnure an alysis Foundation is fighting? We !had hoped to have the authoritative statement of one of, our iiriedical leaders on that score ,but he' must have been too busy dancing or thaw ing out pipes during the cold spell. Anyway, we haven't got it. How ever, here are a few figures that give some notion of its prevalence Dur ing the years 1927 to 1939 inclusive, there have been 93,720 cases report ed. Some cases, of course, hare not been reported. The number of cases has varied greatly from year to year with no apparent reason for the var iations. For instance, in 1927 ..there were oyer 10,005sufferere; the next year the figure was half that, and in 1929 the number Was down to 2,800. That - looked good, It was too good to be. true. The very .next year the cases : reported were over 9,000 and the next year, 1931, the figure: was over 15,000. The worst year of all that we know about, was 1916 when 30,000 "cases were reported. NO, THE MONSTER IS NOT UNDERSTOOD, nor is it under con trol. ' But now is the time to fight Now is the time 'to put into the hands of the scientists the means for research so that the thing can be traced to its cause, to its origin, and there controlled before it can at'ack society. Means must be found to make it possible for the physician to treat the cases that come before him so that the dire effects of th disease paralysis may be counter ed, may be forestalled. HAVE YOU HELPED IN THE FIGHT THIS YEAR? It is not too late. FROM TIME TO TIME the writer of this column has received let'ers from graduates of our high school who have moved away. One conclu sion that has been unavoidable is that their command of the written word is very slight. I have been troubled by it; and still am. Some thing is wrong. However, something is wrong in places other than Pert quimans! Read the following clipping:- " ' :.' . HARVARD FRESHMAN ENGLISH In President Conant's' report foi 1938-89 there is matter of varied in terest; but one sentence surprises by itself: , i . ,- From all sides, academic and non academic, we hear complaints of the inability of the average Harvard graduate to write, either correctly or fluently. . A farmer -who seemed ' to enjoy grumbling, had an extra fine crop of potatoes. '., A neighbdr said - to Jiim.' "Ah, for once you must be pleased everyone is talking about your fine potatoes this year.

A number of winters have gone the way of all winters in these parts since one could venture out on the ic for a matter of a hundred feet or so, But they winter they Wd it ... in fact they did it early this week. Your correspondent, who greets with a glee a Dame Nature who makes it possible for today's young sters to walk on the ice, only hopes that a number of years froni now the tots who .totted on. the -ice this week will not allow their stray to tiie;;pbif.wr4ie'jxwQi tell their "admiring anil; envious, off spring of the time' 1 :Sk' in' 1940 when I drove a two-ton truck oh the ice from Hertford to Columbia." That's the way '"ifcR-atories" get their starts. NEW HOPE NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Percy Webb Gregory Webb, of Norfolk, were guests of their parents, and Mrs. L. R.
