THOUGHT FOR WEEK - CHRISTMAS JOY WAS LONG yOiRETOLD: For unto us a child is bor& tfrto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his should er, : and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty iod, The everlasting Father, the 'Prince of Peace. Isa. 9:6. Band Uniforms The Weekly congratulates the Bo tary Committee on raising the funds . that will enable the Perquimans High '(School Band to be uniformed during the Coming year. The1 Weekly also congratulates the merchants of Hertford and the busi ness firms who provided this money Both the solicitors and those solic ited had the well being of the band at heart in this undertaking and the entire "County can well be proud of the'tftmm of youngsters who make up the Perquimans Band. A Generous Spirit Coming to the desk of The Weekly are many exchanges and it was witn pleasure that we read of a . really generous Christmas spirit in one of thAf papers. V 'it had to do with several nationall prominent people who are foregoing the giving of gifts this year to then personal friends and are, instead, de voting the costs of these gifts for the aid of the less "fortunate people of whom they know. ' This is truly a generous spirit . . . and one The Weekly believes could be- practiced in every community. Look around you, and see. if there may not be some person, or family, that for a little bit of cheerfulness oil your part could have a more Joy ful Christina's this year. Famine Of Facts On this question of feeding people in Nazi-controlled countries there seems to be jit least as great a short age of facts as of food. ' No one can be untouched by the possibility of famine. But some A merican are charging that agitation whleh-'-puts pressures on Britain to raise th blockade is the, Nazis' best weapon for dividing America and weakening- the effort to save demo cracy Others declare food is tha beat propaganda for freedom and that those who oppose the Hoover prdject are un-Christian monsters. Thefafis -a surplus of emotion, a faniiri of facts. Here, for instance, are stfuic things thararejiot knownt -y-.lX hither Germand nd British -Btaiements that there is food enough, are accurate.

By WHATSO IT IS A MERRY CHRISTMAS THAT WE WISH YOU AGAIN this This year it is a right serious Christmas for. us too, A world bemuddled seems strewn all about us. Music and lights and gaiety are the order of the day and yet when we stop to think about con ditions in the world at large the music seems to become discord, tha lights to be dimmed in- fog, the gaiety to resolve itself into a sort of pain ed and ( benumbed sympathy for a suffering ridden mankind. In .the midst of the glory of the Season the world stands aghast, afraid. It may be that the world stands fearful in the darkness because in its thought less and carelessness of years gone by it turned away from that Light Eternal that broke upon the world that first great Christmas Day in fai off Bethlehem. To Us it would be a Christmas drab indeed were it not lor our faith in the reality Of,, that Light which came to us in the splen dor of the Nature of the Son of God, born 8on of Mary, into a world of fear and cruelty so long ago in the little Judaean village. For it was an unholy world and a cruel one into which the Holy Child was born. In to that world He brought the divine message of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man as it had never been brought before. That message He made to stand clear and convincing before men illuminated by the light of His own life. The Christmas message today is that that light still shines in the world for those who will turn their eyes to be hold it. And shine it always will foi it is the Eternal Light that is the Love of God beckoning men from sin and lust and war to righteousness, content and peace. Sin-sick, lust sick, war-sick, someday the world will turn in its tortured way and see the beckoning Light of the Love of God and find again peace and the values that make life worthwhile. DANGER ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE STREET IS ALWAYS WITH US! Very largely it is with us because we do not take the prob lem seriously. The average citizen does not consider it his problem; the policeman town officer or highway patrolman does not want to be con sidered "hard" and overiooks too much; the judge on the bench, fail ing to note the significance of traffic law infraction or of careless driving is all too often overly lenient. Not so long ago a young man with a reputation for reckless driving bla tantly disregarded police notice of "sickness' on Market Street, crash ed the sign at an excessive rate of speed, veered from one side of the broad street to the other, crashed into a parked car causing consider able damage and then proceeded on his way until his own damaged car forced him to stop in the next block. The young man was said to have been drinking at the time though not in what is considered a state of intoxi cation. At any rate this driver was guilty of disregarding a "sickness" sign placed In the street by the Po lice Department; he was driving in a reckless manner; he was driving at an undue rate of speed; he ran into and seriously damaged a parked car; he praceefedN hte without ne naa aone wnen ne co ''mrilfrOMjrWrtfa ith c&to of Sptymei rdHnagepo tne ea pmitn ne at; dnight that yqung, man is 01 9500 ba!Q.
