Here And There There can be no doubt that the news of a lower electric rate for this itv will be welcomed. The Weekly feels that the Town Officials are making good progress when they can lower their chief source onn- come ... and lift sotne of the burden off the lesser tax payers. It will be an excellent condition if the trial ex-j periment can be made permanent , . i with even further reductions later I on. The Lions Club second county fair will be another opportunity to boost Hertford and Perquimans County. Last year the fair was a success . . . with hundreds of visitors from all nnrts of the Albemarle . . . and it is the hope and plans of the local club, , a i. TAoi'a fa 1 1- hi crtroT Ann I r - to make this year's fair bigger ana better than ever. Each and every one of us can boost our home county through events like this ... it brings visitors and buyers from every point and it is up to us to sell them on Hertford. i While the fair is primarily spon sored by the Lions Club, it really be longs to all of us . . . so let's get be hind rt and help to make The Per quimans County Fair one of the out standing events in this section. A Blessing rlt is a blessing for this1 country that in its hour of need' ftfbasic in dustries are still ready to meet emergencies, in spite of some years of "vicious attacks on them for poli tical purposes, Government should be kept as an impartial administrator and not al lowed to dominate industry and the private lives of our citizens. "A free people will surpass an op-' pressed people m resourcefulness. We have seen too much politics play havoc with England and France let us keep it from destroying the United States. ' Giving Little In Return We in America have over a period of years entertained the belief that it is our inherent right to take everything we can get and give lit tle or nothing in return. We have robbed the earth, devoured the nat ural resources and demanded far more of society than we would ever dream of returning. Fifty years ago this was a virgin soil protected by forest and the laws of nature. We mined the gold, cat down the forests, farmed away the soil and devoured the resources wherever they were found in conven ient places. No food was returned to the soil. Not until recent months was there an attempt to re-eeed the forests, and the progress made in that direction is still being offset by the ruthless cutting of timberlands. Ownership of woodlands is changing from the hands of the many into the hands f the few, just as the exten sive coal fields have changed owner ship. We are selling our birthrights for masses of pottage. We are an- willing- to fareao a few pleasures that we might , inject -into "-'sberety those prindplea so, peceasary to kee in its foundation fflljfoW6m 'ertu bling.,We gathindj csjrd table on Sunday; we turn; to streams I oh Sunday and dp tibWthingsr.tfiat . a mad pace in the business world 'f ' prohibits in the other six days.

Suppose they, too, were free to engage in growing and stock-raising contests and attending camps and conven tions!' Well, they are now being made aware, through the 4-1 Golden Kgy sponsored jyy by the . .ation of Commerce anJ that dty,g Rotary ciub8( 0f the many opportunities which have been lyin unnoticedi under their very uoes A&0 making the gffyg discovery that living in crow(,ed citieB ha'8 its compensations. For while 4-H club projects are of necessity limited largely to the rais ing of sheep and calves, pigs and poultry, the cities hold no such re strictions, and the 4-1 "farmers" are free to engage in "diversified agri culture." This includes the design ing of dresses, the building of dog- wo Qn community n0W ' . . . papers, and repairing equipment in homes The four I s" stand for in-! teHieence. integrity, industry, initia-1 tive." The fact that some thirty groups already are in operation m the parent city, with inquiries com--ing in from Pittsburgh, Philadelphia,, Butte, Janesville, and other far-flung I industrial centers, hint at a banner "crop year." j But, apart from the interest : manifested in the 4-1 Clubs, the pro4 iect has a deeper siirnificance. The' frank adaDtation of 4-H club ideals to meet the requirements of city youth "constitutes an encouraging bit, of "sdSl-binding." 't implies h wel-l come breaking down of that invisible barrier which too long has existed between town and country. Chris tian Science Monitor. j SO WHAT? By WHATSO WE RECEIVED A COUPLE OF CRACKS this past week which were meant to be a bit pointed and refer ring to what was thought to be some nersonal notion of OUT own. Of course that notion was decidely fool - ish to say tne leasii remaps a, was, why should we know or perhaps even care, It may or may not have been ours. Up to the present time noth ing has been printed in this column, except for a story or two, that had not been picked np by the highly in- ' teresting process of listening to peo I pie talk and then putting it down in I black and white. Some things heard have not been recorded! Perhaps some day we will begin to record a few of the mora pointed questions and remark that come our way. There are plenty of them and some have barbs! RED CROSS COMES TO OUR NOTICE AGAIN! We had expected to leave the Perquimans County Chapter of the American Red Cross to rest in its obviously comatose 1 condition but an article in the last issue of this paper sent me to the keys to correct a decided misstate ment of fact. "The Red Cross boggs down." So stated the article. Tut, tut, my friend reporter, the Red sdn Certainly an effort cannot oe sam 10 nave JiridJn'l orJfaila-if no effort has. been. made. jSome, fifty 'people iti of" population of around nine tbqiisand hve contributed Conldj there be atiy better eeiice' heedeiF. that Uie local Red Cross Chapter half failed to make any effort to func tion 7 " No, the Red Cross has not bogged down" nor fallen down. It hasn't even gotten up to go to work yet... ANOTHER QUESTION NOT OF OUR BREWING but which we can not answer an4 most' tarn over to ofTBed Oosf 'Cfaapter? Is the Cbwnty Chtinnaa'the whole yn$X U there supposed to be a county or ganisation or is, the Cotmty Chair man drpdmted as k little dictator on whor (..j-tjuom it, rests as uwTor shall not have an opportunity to cooperate with the National Society? To these questions we can give no answer. The Chairman can no doubt give us the information. HUMAN THINKING TAKES QUEER TURNS ' or sometimes hu mans do not think. "If the committee finds the need for more sanitary homes hare and that the slum clearance project can be carried out without cost to the community and with apparently no great disadvantages, then I woula recommend that we make application for the grant." ' The gentleman quoted above is one of the finest of men and stands fc ' nil .Ho i o rr rrrt in Hi n Ani-fl-iiin'ii life of the city in which he lives. Still it would appear from his statement that he did not feel certain that ' there were sections of his city where living conaiwons were noi quite sai isfactory from a sanitary point of view!
