He that despieth his neighbor sinneth; but ne that hath mercy on the poor happy is he. Prov. 14:31. It miirht be just a little early to mention it, but Christmas is Just about six weeks away . . . and now is a good time to start buying for that festive occasion. Don't forget that Hertford merchants can supply you with your complete needs, and their merchanidse will be advertised through The Perquimans Weekly. The, Weekly congratulates the Perauimana High School football team on its splendid game against Manteo last Friday. All the boys, and Coach Dave Fuller included, have come through a tough season and ?r ' ! lux uic ycui, uioj nam " - - improvement with each game and their conduct on the field is as fine as any group of boys playing foot ball. Congressman Bonner On Monday, November 11, Herbert Bonner took his oath of office as the representative for the First North Carolina Congressional District. The Weekly was sorry to hear of the resignation of Lindsay Warren. It had a feeling that the First Dis trict was losing a valuable connec tion in Washington ... but today The Weekly believes that the First District has another able representa tive in Congress in Herbert Bonner. The fact that the House Leader, himself, sought to present Bonner to the assembly shows his standing with' the older members of Congress. Mr. Bonner has had years of ex perience in Washington as the able secretary of Mr. Warren, and with that knowledge The Weekly believes he will, use it to the best advantage in representing the people of the First Congressional District. Let's Take A Tip Many newspapers from a wide area come to the desk of the Editor of this paper and one item in most of these papers has attracted our at tention considerably . . . that item pertains to the parking situation in towns and cities, especially on Satur days. Hertford has its own parking trou bles . . . rarely on Saturday is there a spot for -an out-of-town visitor to park that he might visit in the town, or do some shopping in Hertford's stores. This is indeed a bad situa tion and it should nave some con sideration. Especially so since we are now approaching the holiday sea son and every person is vitally inter ested in holiday business . . .either from a buying or selling viewpoint. . Naturally, we here in Hertford are a bit handicapped, what with our narrow streets and other limited fa cilities, but to this end The Weekly, makes thte - suggestion . . . local townspeople can help the situation immensely by leaving their can at home on (Saturday and giving f .

But what will they seize in the area now opened up to aggression by the Italian at tack? The control of tne Dardanelles is the great prize in this region. It has been suggested Russia might take "protective custody" over the points commanding this outlet from the Black Sea into the Aegean and Med iterranean. However, this would in volve a most delicate situation with Turkey, and pressure might only cause Turkey to take its risks with Britain and Greece rather than to submit, especially should the British- Greek forces show staving power. If, on the other hand, Russia should succeed in establishing its control over this passageway be tween seas, it still would hardly draw Moscow any nearer to Berlin. The ambitions of these two countries have traditionally crossed at Istan bul, German's proceeding by rail to ward Baghdad, Russia's by water through "the Straits." The Axis in Greece would threaten Pussia's po sition in Turkey and by threatening Turkey's control of the Dardanelles would also menace the interests of Russia in the Black Bea, Of course, agreements can be written on paper to cover such ques tions. But agreements, in the lexi con of the Nasis, are necessarily temporary. Stalin knows this. That . j ij . mnr. .,. nnrwr in Po. s one reason wny ne aemanueu . , , B Hi d m Bes8. arabia. As the war moves into the Balkans it will become harder for the Axis to find the tangible tokens of friendship that Moscow desires, and harder for Moscow to accept them since they may be available only at the expense of countries who are now Russia's good friends. Chris tian Science Monitor. SO WHAT? By WHATSO IT IS WITH THE DEEPEST REGRET that we note the erudite Editors of the GREENSBORO NEWS and the DAILY ADVANCE being led astray by that ex-Democrat Herbert Hoover. We hold no brief against Mr. Hoover for de serting the ranks of the Democratic party. That was his right. In deed, we would not criticise Mr. Roosevelt if, at some time in the future, he saw fit to become him feelf a Democrat! But we do feel that Mi. Hoover, who speaks so of ten to the people, should be careful of his pronounciation. It is noti enough that he use secondary but permitted pronounciations. He must use the best and preferred pronoun ciations. at all times. That he does not do when he makes that vicious word "bomb' sound like "bumb."

You owe ijt to your devoted readers! Yes, we are quite weary of the word bomb and all the, terror " the word connotes. But is "bum" , much better? It would,-for sooth,, be a gory spectacle to see hums bursting over the city dropped from an alti tude of ten or more .thousand feet Take, for instance, our own song of patriotism that envisages "bombs bursting in How would that picture appear ip, the mind's eye if for "bombs" yon Saostitute a word that sounds like bums?

JS- OVER THE m a KxwaflsaKi m in "torn" but the j,THK PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, ITTTFORD, OCD TRICKS. COUNTRY LIVES. It would still be living had Mr. Willkie been elect ed. We were much interested in this campaign and yet, strange as it may seem, a bit indifferent as to its re sults. We voted as we thought best. We also realized as we cast our bal lot that who ever was elected would be satisfied. The real interest in this campaign was that it put the final touches on a political trend that started back in the days of "T. R." and the old "Progressives." In brief the two old parties began to show signs of senile dementia as far back as the days of the first Roosevelt. The Republican Party was laid to rest, completely em balmed. bv the Old Guard of the Harding, Coolidge and Hoover days. But if the Republican Party of blessed memory had an Old Guard so the Democratic Party had its se lected corps of mule drivers. There was little to choose between the Old Guard and the Mule Drivers. The Old Guard was a bit stronger of the two because they had a united Party to drive. The Mule Drivers had an ill-matched pair to drive the South ern and the Northern Democrats. With the coming of Roosevelt, the second, began the demise.; of the Democratic Party. By jthe,.- second election of F. D. R. the poor old mule was in extremis; the third elec t;on of the New Deal Candidate re vealed that the Democratic Party and the Corps of Mule Drivers had been laid to rest without .even a little ceremony. THE OLD PARTIES ARE, DEAD. Now what? Weill, firsts-let jus be thankful. The old parties had out lived their usefulness and become merely tools in the hands of political machinists. Today the recent elec tion shows that we have two groups in the nation of nearly equal numeri cal strength which stand for ' some thing new and healthy in our, na tional political life. Neither group is Republican nor Democratic in the old sense of those two party terms. There is among the voters an en tirely new alignment. SO WJIAT? Well, that's hard to say. One, thing is obvious, we must as a people awaken to what has happened.-- The day of bigoted political partianship is over. The old party names . which brought the blood to men's . faces but little thinking to men's minds are meaningless. The Old Guard and the Muleteers are out of a Job. The Spirit of America is leading and it will lead aright. The next step is in the offing. Our genius for self government can be trusted we wjll take the right step. At the moment we need to do but one thing -follow with intelligence and discretion the leadership that is ours. 1;. ;! 911 M auto imm ' i,' ( 'I Before You Finance Your Next j-.V': come in ana see now we van neip iou .in.r OUR BUDGET PlAN PERSONAL" LOANS : arp available to help each J local : responsible : : . . tiAWinn f A vnAnf '4iAMnn I. nmniuvannAd ;"-.' . jrr.iv.; si-..;. , (V V o " 'r-i '-io rK, r,, 4444'4a$$as! . : -l N.
