FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1941 itiliLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK GOD REVEALS HIMSELF IN NATURE AND LIFE: God that made the world and all things there In; seeing that He is Lord of Heaven and, earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is wor shipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, seeing He giveth to all life, and breath and all things. ABC Store Election The action taken by the County Commissioners on Monday in regards to holding an election for the people to decide whether or not to open an ABC store in Perquimans was not new business for the present board . . . neither does it signify that mem bers of the present board show an inclination toward that end. It has not yet been decided regard ing the election. It may be that ths Legislature now in session, although the outlook is slim, will do some thing with the liquor question. How ever, if the Legislature does not call for a referendum on the subject, the board of commissioners deem it their duty to call for an election due .to the fact that a petition, signed by the necessary number of citizens re questing the same, was handed U them sometime ago. The matter is not up to the Com missioners ... it is out of their hands, they are merely acting for the signers of that petition and wild put the question up to the people to de cide. It matters not to The Perquim ans Weekly whether this question is carried or not. The Weekly shall be entirely neutral on this point. How ever, tt does believe that both sides of the subject should be given equal hearing and shall gladly publish any signed articles received regarding the same. SO WHAT? By WHATSO THE DOCTOR, THE LAWYER, THE PARSON, THE POLICEMAN, THE FIREMAN. To the above list we might add other specialized mem bers of society whose functions have at least one element in common. If there are any tender skins among the local doctors, lawyers or parsons who feel that their professional standing sets them apart from those of non-professional status we offer them our apology and our sweetest smile 1 The highest duty of the phy sician is to prevent disease. The highest duty of the legal profession is to prevent litigation. The highest duty of the parson is to so guide the thinking of his people that they will be prevented from following the less satisfying ways of life. The highest function of the policeman is to pre vent citizens from breaking the law. The highest function of the fireman is to prevent fires. In each case prevention is the watchword. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of. cure" is a pretty old and, simple f sdyirtg tout one of fundamental truth. . .. It should e a3i more , generally , pmcticetof 3gi mKiU i V I We a&Mt0gh hiti i thet tfocUfc ' lawyer and parson for the present They are apt to be touchy lot a sort of touch-me-not group and we do not want to get. tangled up with them at the moment. We leave them to their satisfactions. But the po licemen and the firemen an just our sort. We feel at home with them. (Apologies to the gentlemen of the learned professionsit's our fault, not' theirs.) , ,The place of the police officer In f this or any community is not given ,-'th importance' that is duett. A gradual change; however, ; has been iW tntrlnar tiW Anrimr tVi loft twn d. ; looked upon as just a husky ifljap to handle: drunks, burglars and , law breakers in general. He-is rather the uniformed and educated represent tatftre of society that regulate and ;gtW the 4llHrtive life so tht men t , V will not. make drunken nuisance of, themselves, thoughtless people, will not indulge in infraction of rules laid down for thd guidance of the common life. TJi officer, who per form! his duty .yell may or may not, probably will not, if he is dealing i with an intelligent citizenry, make many arrests. But he will, by en forcing the daw, prevent much suf fering and sorrow. We could illus trate from personal observation how an officer by failing to enforce a law or to exercise his authority has like wise failed to prevent death, suffer ing, anguish. You must not blame the officer alone. You, Mr." Prominent Citizen, or you, Mr. Run-of-the-Mine Citizen, have your part of the blame to shoul der. Just the other day we were talking with one of our local officers and pointed out the danger of park ing at a certain corner. The officer realized it. Had tried to enforce the No Parking rule. Had been cussed out for hi 8 pains. But some day at that corner there is going to be an accident. It may be just a car or two damaged it may be a leg broken; it may be a serious and permanent injury; it may be a life snuffed out. THE ACCIDENT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. It could be prevented. It can only be prevented, however, by the police officer backed by the in telligent, understanding and appre ciative cooperation of the citizens. We stood at the same corner sev eral months ago and saw a driver make flagrant violation of the traffic rules. We also saw an officer watch ing it. No protest or reprimand was made to the driver. We have seen the same violation of the law made by other drivers. No accident has yet happened. But an accident is going to happen at that point and be- cause of the thoughtless or willful, violation of the law. It is the high j duty of the police to stop dangerous I traffic violations and so prevent the often tragic consequences. The old proverb holds "An ounce' of prevention is worth a pound of cure, or near cure. MY DEAR MR. FIREMAN, we did not get to you this evening. Time's up and we have to go. Well have a word with you next week for we would like to -point out how very important you are to the welfare j and happiness of the community. Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: As so much is being said about learning more about Latin American countries, it seems fitting to have something: Dublished in the Cmmtv 1 paper encouraging individuals and groups to study and inform them-j v . selves concerning these countries and our relations with them, in order to understand how best to deal with them. MATTIE SAUNDERS. PAN-AMERICANISM Americans are being told on all sides that they should become better acquainted with their neighbors. Elizabeth G. Whiting, writing in the Social Action Magazine, says air planes, the telephone, radio, televis ion and other marvels of modern science make the people of the whole world citizens of one neighbor hood, and we don't know how to get a.long with our neighbors. When Brazil destroys her excess coffee and the price goes up, coffee-users here are disturbed. When Japan uses the money she makes from the sale of silk to us to buy more war materials, those who feel She is mistreating China hesitate to buy her silk. "These are no longer foreign affairs," she says, "they are neighborhood business. It is breath-taking to have to practice neighborliness on such a scale. We are all a little breathless ... It is no wonder we are afraid and attempt, ostrich-like, to bury our heads in the sand. We have come to believe in magic, but we don't quite like it ... It 'is against this back ground of increased tension that w must consider the developments ii many parts of the world today. We need to know our neighbors better in order to live more neigh borly with them. Unfortunately we probably know jless about some of our nearest f neighbors than about many of those iarther away. Much is being safd recently about the tions if"1G&ecoAitries of the A caajWe are of od.enn 'Canada, but thai relations' witrTsbmA of our southern 'neighbors, the Latin Americas, are sometimes strained. They speak different languages from us; we know less about them. It would be to the advantage of all the Americas if they understood each other better. Happily some people of the United States are now trying to learn more about these neighbors to the south and are encouraging others to do the same. Our government is promoting Pan-Americanism. Bolivar, the deliverer of northern Southy America, 1 id said to bo the originator of the Pan-American idea. He proposed,; that the peoples of the Americas Should contrive some type of federal tinloi" with vJmmon cap ital on t. Isthmus of .Panama, that they should' avoid thevil' of . the Old World, banish war and hate. He sought to. hre reaUtyto his dream) by calling Congress at Panama in! Strike Up The Band . I f '-1 Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in "Strike Up the Band' at State Theatre, Hertford, Thursday and Friday. i 1826. Only six nations responded, the United States not being one of these. Bolivar's dream has not yet come true. We do not yet know our neighbors well enough. However, greater effort is now be ing made to become better acquaint ed. More people are traveling in the Latin Americas; more books and magazine articles are being written about them. The government is cc operating in the improvement of communications. Besdies subsidizing ocean lines, we are promoting a Pan American Highway which will one day connect the United States with South America; a part of Mexico's portion is already completed. We are encouraging the exchange of students and professors. Good-will messengers are going from one coun try to another. In some instances organizations especially interested in promoting good-will are financing specially fitted persons to live for several years among the peoples of a neighboring nation in order to prove to them our neighborliness. Last summer a group of young Americans went to a needy part of Mexico and operated a work camp, paying all their expenses, and building a school house for the natives where one was much needed. Pteople are being urged to visit Latin America if possible, and if this is impractical, to educate themselves by reading. Herbert C. Herring, in an article, "Pan-Americanism Can We Win It?" in the above-mentioned issue of Social Action Magazine says: "Here we are we Americans, 262 millions oj us, scattered in the broad expanse of the Western Hemisphere . . . We are all Americans. We oc cupy an area set off by igreat oceans from Asia and Europe. We have our chances to create a new civiliza tion which will avoid Old WorW r rors." An enlightening article on , A,llcrlCB ana "r reiawons wnn jt f"ows; at the conclusion he says, "More attention should be paid to Latin America history in our col leges and high schools. Clubs, for ums, churches should spend more time studying the problems of inter Amercan relations. At the present time there is little interest in the great area which lies to the south. There can be no substantial gains in solidarite until we learn more about these Americas ... If the New World is to be really New, if it is to escape the calamities which overtake the Old World, it behooves men of good will to take thought to the problems and the promises of the other Amer icas. . . . The peace of the world, if there is to be any peace, will come only as men and women concern themselves with the relations which we bear to other peoples. The other Americas offer plenty of material with which to make a start." CIRCLE NUMBER FOUR MEETS Circle Number Four of the Wom an's Missionary Society of the Bap tist Church met Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Fred Mathews.
