BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK
BE SURE YOU ARE RIGHT: The
wicked is snared by the transgression
of his lips: but the just shall come
out of trouble.Prov. 12:16.
Now that the "first" primary is
over, all we have to do is to wait
another few days until the heat be
gins stewing the "second" primary
to a boil.
It occurs to us that the battle may
develop into a hit and run affair,
but then we are only guessing and
we may be entirely wrong. How'
ever, it seems to us that the Brough
ton forces in Raleigh are attempting
to belittle Mr. Horton's chances as
much as possible before the fray
This may be worth something, but
in our opinion the outcome will rest
on the balance of power of the other
candidates, entered in the first race.
Whither goest their votes goes the
election . . . therefore Mr. Horton's
chances, we believe, are just as good,
if not better than they were this
time last week.
The Road Decision
The decision matle by the Highway
Commission committee, which met
here Wednesday to hear the pro
tests against the proposed re-routing
of U. S. No. 17, probably did not
meet with the full approval of all
those attending the hearing, yet
there was sound reasoning in the de
cision handed down by the chairman
of the committee.
"To do the best thing for the most
people concerned,"
While The Weekly believes that,
the re-routing of the highway will
no doubt be detrimental to Winfall
residents to a certain degree, it is
our opinion that failure to re-route
the highway now, may at some fu
ture date be detrimental to the en
tire section.
There can be no aoubt, as pointed
out in the meeting on Wednesday,
the traveling public today as motor
ing on the highways that are built
for speed and safety ... if we fail
to have roads in this section that will
take care of that traffic, then we
stand to lose that business at soma
future date, because other sections
of this State are doing all they can
to secure that type of roads.
Looking At
Another Side
Turning the picture around and
looking at it from another angle,
let us consider the immediate good
that the construction of this curve
elimination route will do to most of
the people of this county. To begin
with the State proposes to expend
something like $90,000 on this pro
ject . . . knowing what we do about
road building and the expense that
goes along with the construction
work, that is going to mean quite s
large sum will be spent right here
in Perquimans County during the
construction of this stretch of road.
It is going to mean that extra

Chewing The Rag
With Lucius Blanchard. Jr.
.
We've;" gathered the impression of
late that any . number of Hertford
and Perquimans County people, had
they the power, would cut WPA ap
propriations to a minus figure and
apply the whole amount made thus
available to re-arming the United
States.
We think it would be a wise move
Alan wo irather the impression
that WPA Old Home Week was noth
ing that local merchants; went Jnto
handsprings over. Merchants, in
particular, were wanted at the In
augural Dinner to testify to the ex
tent to which WPA helps our conv
munity.
As we get it, the merchants stay
ed away in droves.
It seems they're beginning to look
into the old line about the money
WPA puts into circulation here and
iwftlizA that sidewalks and bathing
piers are coming pretty high regard
less of the fact that our money
comes back to us labeled as "Federal
Grants." (At the same time doing
self-sustaining, tax-paying, help-hir
ing legitimate contractors oui oi
honest jobs).
In short, WPA Week was greeted
here with an ominous lack of en
thusiasm.
They're also, we believe, begin
ning to see the gross unfairness of
the whole WPA set-up ... the sys
tem wherein two or three so-called
supervisors or administrators col
lect elaborate salaries (much more
than private business can pay) whiile
the men who do the actual work . . .
such as it is . . . are commanding
from seven to nine or ten dollars a
week.
Hertford is a classic example.
As clearly as yesterday's sunset,
we remember being told that "We'll
disintegration of national' life
throughout the world. There ap-l
pears but little of decency and honorJ
in the family of nations. And ye
there does appear above the stench
and squalor of man's work one clear
call to the better impulses of the
human heart. The call of the Red
Cross. Our National Red Cross has
sent out the call first for ten mil
lions, now for twenty millions of
dollars to be used in bringing aid to
the suffering peoples of Europe as
they find themselves the victims of
the greatest catastrophe of all the
centuries of Jiistory.
We do not know what is expected
of this County. We are, however,
citizens of the United States and
something is expected of us. We are
not so insignificant that we are not
expected to do something in the great
humanitarian work of the Red Cross.
Still, the fact remains that we have
seen no mention of this matter in
the local press. It is just possible
that in the mind of the local Red
Cross leadership our local and State
politics was of so much more import
ance and interest that the cause of
the Red Cross was overlooked. It
may be, too, that the assessment
made by the National Organization
upon the local Chapter was taken
care of by funds in hand. If that
was the case it would be of interest
to the members of that Chapter to
be told something about it. It does
not set well to be asked by persons
from other sections "What are you
all doing about the Red Cross ap
peal?" and the answer has to be
"So far as I know, nothing."
THE CAMPAIGN IS OV2ER. So
far as this column is concerned the
town and county is of major interest.
It was a good campaign all the way
round so far as we were able to
observe. If there was any mud
slinging, such as we have noted in
some recent political campaigns, we
did not hear of it. For that all de
cent citizens, and that's the vast ma
jority of us, are grateful. Election
night came and went and we did not
see the bunch of drunken rowdies in
evidence that we have seen in the not
so distant past. Personally, we saw
just one such. Most interesting was
th fine reception and the fine vote
given Perquimans County's first

In the meantime the ironing out

funeral music. It's been ' going on

And one who listens closely eonugh
can hear vague rumblings of dis
content even in the WPA. ranks.
It's hardly more than, a mutter.
The hirelings are afraid of losing
their own soft snaps by letting on
that they aren't perfectly . satisfied
with the whole odorous business.
All this lines up with what one of
our more prominent merchants had
to say early this week . . . :
"It's done a whole lot more harm
than it has good," he said. "Frank'
ly, I don't think much of it. The
original idea was all right, but car
rying it out is something else."
"To iret away from our favorite
peeve for a minute is to tell a little
story we got from J. G. Roberson
one day last week ... J
A farmer-salesman was selling
strawberries at his curbstone mar
ket recently when a woman custom
er stopped by. "How much are
they?" she asked.
"Eight cents a quart; three for a
quarter," he answered.
"Good," the woman said. "I'll
take three."
Apparently Mr. Roberson was the
only one who noted anything unusu
al in the transaction . . . the custom
er was satisfied and the farmer cer
tainly should have been.
The ladies love a bargain.
