FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1940 KIBLK THOUGHT FOR WEEK BE CHARITABLE: A friend lov-1 eth at all times, North Carolina v3k JMJSSMSOCIAIIOJ and a brother is."" ui.uyiuvn ';"- born for adversity. -Prov. 17:17. The Weekly heartily approves of the idea of the restoration of the NYA work in the budget by the County Commissioners. It is our be lief that the small amount of cost to the County for this program is well worth the money. It is with regret that The Weekly announces that the population of Perquimans has for the past ten years decreased considerably. We have no idea as to the cause for such a big percentage in the loss but it will be interesting to see the final results of the census . . . then in all probability we can see the picture and take action to stop this loss. Man's Inhumanity To Man It is estimated that between 8,000, 000 and 6,000,000 retugees from Bel gium and Holland have poured into France. Most of these are average, self-respecting people suddenly madt vagrants by Hitler's hellishness. The inundation of what is left o France by this horde of dispossessed and terror-stricken women and chil dren and the aged, surpasses all epi sodes in man's inhumanity to man. It can hardly be considered merely . propaganda, these stories of how theee miserable creatures in 'theli confusion have interfered with the! work of the Allied armies. The Ger-1 , man war machine pays them no mind, for they are not an inferior ! people, to be pushed aside at the German will. i Because these retugees are com panions in misery the French people take them in and share their crusts of bread, but there is no certainty that the roof that houses them all will not be Mown away before morning. And most of these, mind you, are the former subjects of King Leopold who commanded Belgian soldiers to lay down their arms, and without the , courtesy of warning Allied leaders whom he had called on for help, thus I exposing them to the sudden attack which has resulted so disastrously. And that very action by Belgium's king raises the question mark con cerning the ease with which Ger man's armed forces marched through Belgium, and European leaders are wondering if this was only a part of a sell-out to Hitler who now proposes 1 to make Leopold ruler over parts of Holland a puppet whose main ac-J tivity would be to enjoy the com- forts of a castle hidden away in the mountains of the country his father , loved and fought for to the last. " But we are talking about those refugees who neither fought or, wanted war; men, women and chil-j dren who only wanted to live and labor in peace. Now they are scat tered to the winds; children separat ed from parents; streams of helpless human. beings fleeing to they know not where, and even machine-gunned in their confusion and distress. Some day, please God, the selfish tyrant who is responsible for all this , torill aaima trt Vtia oivtnntiTiir Rut " ill VV1I1V r et wv wiiviiiaji vwv j these helpless ones cannot wait for that day. They -must be fed and. clothed,' and their: bleeding feet must he tended. And that is what the American Red Cross is trying to heln to do. Pondering; 'a picture like this is enough to make each of us rest uneasy on our pillows until we have , sought out the proper channels and fv. doubled our - subscription to ; this cause. This is not our warr no, ibut Vis its victims are crying aloud for help ,'',-&. we should not fail them.- Elkln V Tribune. - SO WHAT? i s,By WHATSO V " WE QUOTE, THE EDITOR: No ?rive for Red Cross relief hag as yet I :n' made In Hertford, but ft is ex I -lod that one will be made soon T. ,v, v ever, contributions ere being re cdved and' each, bit meaijs less sof- 3 to those :'more unfortunate' A,, With Lucius.

Somebody sam n like this . i . "as certain as war and taxes." Or did they say "as certain as death and taxes?" Or was it "as certain as war and death?" We never could keep old saying straight, and it doesn't matter be- temrated to start over x ..nfks a no-la nnvwav. On l second thought it would lead up tor the same thing regardless War and Taxes. As Hertford's first tangible evi dence of the War in Europe we see more people smoking cigars today than we saw a week ago. More people are smoking cigars; because there's a new tax on cigar-1 ettes. i There's a new tax on cignrenev hecausc the Government needs money to build battleships, airplanes, tanks, ! . i.- - : in kAmnnAf eVialtorc u' "" "VT " heaaea politicians wuu muiuu i dec the handwnting oa the wall The Government needs, money to build all this stuff because there's a war in the Old Country, and the New Country is getting jittery because the war in the Old Country is get ting larger and defense measures in the New Country aren't getting large fast enough, and because tht first contingent of the dictators' ad vance guard is already here in the Fifth Column. Now don't stop reading. That's absolutely the only mention of the Fifth Column we intend to make. You've heard enough about it every where else; you've read it in tht papers and the magazines, you've heard it on the screen and radio, than ourselves . . . contribute if pos sible today. So spake the Editor in the issue of this paper dated June 28. That was the only mention of the Red Cross in the issue of that date. In the issue of June 21st a list of about fifty individuals and three organiza tions was given as having contribut ed. We trust the Editor has some inside information on the subject of a Red Cross drive. We look in vain for any public statement of the Chairman of the local Red Cross Chapter on the subject. However, we are to assume that there are good' , at -l vt il i i and sufficient reasons why the' local chapter should remain indifferent to the call of the national society. In fact we are even inclined to apologize to the local Chairman for being in terested and inquisitive concerning the activities or lack of activities of the Perquimans Chapter of the Am erican Red Cross. We are quite aware that we are one of the general public and that it is really none of our business. However, we are not alone in our interest. Many others are interested. Indeed we have been accosted by more than one citizen interested enough to ask who was Chairman of the Red Cross so that! they could take their contribution to j him. i COMMUNITY INTEREST GROWS i AS IT IS FED, and community in terest in the things that concern the welfare of any group, town or coun ty, are absolutely necessary if the group is to reach its highest poten tial development. Many a really fine community is held back in its de velopment by the secretive methods of its leaders. Matters that are of public interest are, to all intents and purposes, considered behind clos ed doors and only brought to light after decision has been reached. The public then accepts the accomplished fact with or without approval, or, as is more probable, without anv in terest at all. Most questions dealii wim Dy town ana county govern ments can be thrown open to public discussion and the more - discussion there is, the more interest is taken In affairs by the public. Where there is public interest and discus sion in a community there you have a live and forward lookiner and mov- ing community. Where there is no public interest and public discussion you find a backward looking and backward moving community. It would be well for all town and coun ty governments to consider whethei they are conducting themselves as secret orders or as elected bodies serving the public in a public man ner. . ' BALLAHACK CLUB MEETS The Ballahack Club met at the home of Mrs. Singleton Lane Mon day, July 1. The following program was rendered: Song, "We're Here For Funj , Mrs. Joe Perry 1 read a poem, "Beauty Wise"; Mrs. ' Jack Sutton gave a report on the Jane S. McKimmon Loan Fund; the demon Itration on reflnishing furniture was given by the home agent, ' C . i The following members were pres ent .Mrs. Pailen Lane, Mrs. Archie T.'-Lane, '"Mrs; Jack Sutton, Mrs. Bennie Monds, Mrt.'

We are ex pecting to hear froin, n enterprising song-writer any day. now who ham mered out the new hit tune "Fifth Column Blues." i.' Incidentally, (the new defense tax is the first tax", from,: which Wilbur has heard no .complaints. Nobody objects to paying it. It is by far and large the most popular tax his tired old eyes have ever seen. In fact, he hasn't seen anybody yet who claims, to have seen anybody tr -k i at 4a vtattiniv 4-Vta a A AtHl ""jv--vvv -v. three cents on theatre tickets, the added -five cents on 10. gallons of gasoline, or paying 15 cents straight for the popular brand cigarettes. More than a nuisance, the new tax is serious to many people (those not in the administrative branch of 1 the WPA), but events are far too pressing: for bickering . . .even overt a little thing like what the Heed Man did with the four billion dollars Congress gave him three years ago with instructions, to "spend it fo: whatever you will national defense would be a good thing". It was just an afterthought, of course. Nobody could be expected to care seriously, that a little dictator across the sea was turning out tanks and guns and airplanes like R. J. Reynolds turns out cigarettes. He was probably going to give them foi Christmas presents anyway, they reasoned, even while the foremosl writers shouted to everyone who would listen that AdoJf, Benito and Joseph aren't the playful type. "Well, they can say all they will about America's unwillingness to go to war," Wilbur said, "but when an American pays another tax without squawking . . . Brother, that's Loy alty!" Matthew Dail, Mrs. Joe Perrv and three visitors, Misses Ruth and Al verta Hollowell. Mrs. Singleton Lane and Mrs. Bristoe Perry were joint hostesses.
