About Miss Hamrick
It is not without a distinct feeling
of regret that The Perquimans
Weekly publishes the story of Miss
Gladys Hamrick's resignation today.
In the same breath, we wish her
successor. Miss Frances Maness, of
Buies Creek, the same high degree
of success that Miss Hamrick has
enjoyed.
There is no doubt about it ... .
Miss Hamrick is exceedingly popu
lar with her more than three hundred
home demonstration club' women.
There's also no doubt that Miss
Hamrick deplored leaving. But pro
motion calls ... and we are fools
who turn down a higher position.
Many homes have become more
beautiful foe Miss Hamrick's work in
home beautification, and The Per
quimans Weekly which has regularly
chronciled club accomplishments, out
standing items of work by her club
members, and schedules of club meet
ings, knows it.
The Perquimans Weekly will con
tinue to lend every assistance to the
new home agent just as it did to the
resigning one.
It is with reluctance that we bid
adieu to' 'Miss Hamrick, but with her
many friends we wish her much suc
cess Jn her new field.
so what?;
By WHATSO
W-hJJUL, WruL, MR. jaDI'lOR, SO
you think that if each and every
citizen of Hertford would make him
self a committee . of - one "to sell
Hertford" we could attract some new
industry with a payroll to set up
business in our midst. We could be
like Edenton or Plymouth or Wind
sor-rget, baseball teams to come to
us for the training season, or attract
some industry to .construct a 'plant,
or some, manufacturing busteese ,;.to
erect a factory. Perhaps. We have
a railroad, we have a river, we have
a main highway, we have room and
to spare, v But where are you going
to find the men who have the public
interest to go out and "sell Hert
ford"? ' Men are not getting to
gether to serve this community un
less they are paid for it with coin of
the realm or attracted by food. Even
then concerted, unselfish action it
not often in evidence. Sell Hertford,
Mr. Editor? Perhaps. But probably
"down the rivet,"
About Bus Service
It is indeed gratifying that Hert
ford's Town; Board is taking steps to
force the bus company serving this
community to give a more adequate
service, including waiting and rest
rooms,, to the patrons of the company.
It is -a., well known fact that the
bus station situation here in Herti
ford has long been in a deplorable
state. This has been especially true
during the past several weeks, during
which the entire section was in the
grip of winter, when patrons have
been forced to stand on street cor
ners 'In order to catch a bus.
It is high time that the Norfolk
Southern Bus Company stop treating
Hertford as a step-child and start
cooperating with our Town Board to
give this community the same facili
ties it has given other communities
it serves.
We salute the Town Board for the
ac'.ion it has taken and entreat it not
to stop, until a concrete improvement
is made in the situation.
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! We
sell to England we sell to France,
we sell to Russia, we sell to Japan,
we sell to China, we are careful, Oh,
so careful, to say that we would sell
to Germany if she could come and
tret it. and all because we are neu
tral 1. But lb, and behold, we cannot
sell to Finland despite the fact that
under our own rules, laid down be
fore' ever the European War broke
out,; Finland is entitled to borrow
from us. Finland, the one European
belligerent whose credit is good with
us cannot buy from us what she
needs. The great Congressional Mind
calls that neutrality! God forbid
that- Congress should ever write a
dictionary of the English language
or ever be called upon to define
honor and fair play.

Bearing Down On
The Fanner
This newspaper only yesterday ob
served that resistance to farm parity
payments will hi a principal test of
ecenomy in this session of Congress.
To that position we adhere, and be
lieve that an appropriation for this
purpose should not be made unless
special taxes are levied to pay it. But
the cu's reported by the Appropria
tions Committee in its sudden sub
mission of the biHl to the House of
Representatives are of such extent as
to arousg apprehension even for the
cause pt economy.
Backers of the parity payments
this '"year were without the support
which they had last "year from the
urban: relief bloc since the relief
appropriation is fairly well agreed
upon. Yet the striking out of $72,-
600,000 for disposal of surplus crops
takes with it the food stamp plan,
which has been working apparently
well and which will rally to the sup
port of the item representatives of
some seventy cities which have the
plan or expected soon to be designat
ed in it Similarly the omission of
sugar benefits arouses another blue;
and possibly more serious, the dele
tion of-$25,000,000 for farm tenant
loans would cancel the only program
the Government 'has for alleviation
of a serious national problem.
It may be that some of the cuts
are made for bargaining purposes,
or it may be that; all are necessary
for; progress vtOward, a balanced .bud
get. -Moreover, 'war conditions in
Lur&i e may eventually result in new
