Perquimans County Over Top In Sale Of Christmas Seals The sale of Christmas Seals went "over the top" in Perquimans Coun ty, according to Mrs. I. A. Ward, who had charge of the drive for this county. With complete returns made by all solicitors the total shows that the quota was oversubscribed' by ap proximately twenty dollars. State headquarters gave Perquim ans a quota of $95 and the amount reported to Mrs. Ward showed that $114.52 was raised through the Oocal drive. Last year the amount raised locally totaled only $80.66. Mrs. Ward stat ed that this year is the first time that Perquimans ever made the quota asked for by the State office, and she was high in her praise of the work ers who aided with the canvass. The report shows that a total of $27.86 was raised by a canvass of the business section of Hertford, while $5.04 was reported from the house-to-house canvass in Hertford. The largest amount was gained from the canvass made through .the schools of the county. Central Gram mar School at Winfalll reported $26.55, the County Colored schools, $24.00; Hertford Grammar School, $19.81; Perquimans High 'School, $6.25, and New Hope school, $5.00.

The attention of The Weekly was called to the "water situation" and on investigation it was learned that lately there had been too much Dime applied to the water and this result ed in pipes being clogged. Upon the recommendation of the Elizabeth City chemist, Mr. Luther, acting as the chemist for Hertford until the vacancy created by the resignation of Sammy Sawyer is filled, the lime treatment was cut down temporarily. This treatment possibly makes the water a little "harder", or makes it taste a bit different, but reports from the State Board of Health which receives samples of the water regu larly for testing show that the water supply is in order. Mayor V. N. Darden stated that a new town chemist will be employed just as soon as one is available. President's Birthday Celebration Plans Under Consideration Chairman S. M. Whed bee Will Name Com mittees Next Week Hans for the celebration of the President's birthday, and the effort to raise money for aiding in the treatment for sufferers of infantile paralysis are being considered by S. M. Whedbee, chairman of the cele-1 bration in Perquimans County. At the present time the chairman is discussing with civic groups the type of celebration which seems best. in order. Formerly the main part of the celebration has been a "Presi dent's Ball" but the expense incurred by this seemingly took most of the money raised and, if possible, this year Mr. Whedbee hopes to have a profit left to be turned over to the fund. It is highly possiMe that a dance will be held again this year, but de finite arrangements will not be made until the various committees have been appointed to work with Mr. Whedbee. These committees will be chosen and the names of the members will probably be known by next week. One of the features of the cele bration which will definitely be in cluded in the program for Perquim ans will be the "March of Dimes." Other forms of entertainment are al so being considered by the chairman, who hopes that Perquimans may make a suitable contribution toward this work this year. The money that is raised through this effort is used entirely to combat the dreaded disease of infantile para - lysis. Half of the amounts raised by Ilocal people remain within the county and the remainder is forward ed to national authorities to be used on a national scale to fight the dis ease. County Horse Clinic To Open Here Latter Part Of January A horse and mule clinic will be held, in Perquimans County on Monday and Tuesday, January 27 and 28, according to L. W. Anderson, County Agent.

The purpose of the clinic will be for the treatment of horses and mules and outlining the general care of the animals. Mr. Anderson told The Weekly that is is quite possible that clinics will be held at Bethel, New Hope, Hertford and Belvidere, but at die present time full details have not been worked out. A complete sche dule will be announced later in The Weekly. ' Lions Club Meeting ! The Hertford lions Club will hold .Its regular meeting at the Hotel Hertford on Friday evening- at :. Kaipauarreii.
