FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1941 THE LIGHT THAT MUST NOT FAILLs BIBLE 1HOH.H1 KOK v thfc HIGH OR LOW THEY WILL END IN RUIN: Woe to them that call evil srood and good evil; that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Isaiah 5:20. With spring just around the cor ner, and children getting anxious to play out-of-doors, riding bicycles and the like, now is a good time for parents to warn them of the dangers of playing in the streets. Local gossip has it that some three or four families in Hertford have received notices to vacate homes in order that the owners might move in, but search for new quarters show- that Hertford does not have an empty house. Might be a good idea if somebody started a building boom. The Final Gesture Like other groups and plans that have made attempts to bring new ideas and activity to Hertford . . . the Town Criers can now be consid ered a dead issue, but Lie organiza tion did not pass out of existence without making an excellent finai gesture. Although credit has been given ttie group for other activity and gifts, the action of the executive committee on Monday was one thai should n.eet the lull approval of every person regarded as a member. The money that was divided be tween the boy bcouts, tne L,iorary the Woman's Club and the Parent Teachers Association will be put to splendid use and The Weekly is sure that all Hertford will benefit the action.

My WHATSO from Bundles For Britain Bundles por Britain, the organiza tion that collects clpthing for British war sufferers, has 700-odd branches in the United States. Its 650,000 workers are nearly all volunteers, with only nine of its thirty-four executive heads receiving pay. A recent report indicates that the workers collected $1,654,086 in cash, clothing and supplies last year. The organization has sent 900,000 knitted garments, 300,000 pieces of new ami used clothing and 350,000 articles ot surgical apparatus to the British. Just about a year old, Bundles for Britain is operated in every state ex cept Arkansas. With its emphasis upon volunteer work, the organiza tion exemplifies the best type of re lief activity. It deserves the confi dence of the people of the United States and we hope that its work will be appreciated and 'Supported by the people of Perquimans County. Write Your Senators And Representative The Perquimans Weekly heartily agrees with The Daily Advance that the proposed re-districting of the First District as outlined in th daily news of Wednesday is a dras tic proposal. No doubt the representatives of the affected counties will oppose any uch measure, but The Weekly urges Jihat every, resident of Perquimans join in the 'fight to 'retain two sena tors for the Albemarle counties by writing Representative J. T. Benton and Senators" Herbert Leary and, Merrill fcvans expressing nis, or ner, views on the subject. The Weekly feels sure that these representatives will be glad to hear what the home folks are thinking.

NOTICE OF SALE By virtue of the authority contain ed in that certain deed of trust exe cuted on the 30th day of April, 1910, by Lew Felton and his wife, Bettie Felton, to Frank Babb, Trustee, thei said Frank Babb having died, and Chas. E. Johnson having been ap pointed substitute -.rustee by an or der of the court, said order being re corded in deed book No. 26, page , defualt having been made in the con- the social order things do not "just happen" they are caused by con scious effort on the part of men. A town, for instance, does not grow and flourish without conscious effort and protracted work on the part of the men and, women who make up the citizenship of that town. When a community does develop it is usually! vance of Monday, February 24th. From that article we quote the fol lowing: "Any man or woman in a town where there is no organization could tomorrow call a few friends and neighbors together and organize one of these chapters. They could get in touch by letter or telegram pretty easy to look around and find National Headquarters of Bun the cause in the character of the people. On the other hand, a town does not stand still or atrophy with out a cause. The cause of stagna tion oui;ht not to be hard to find in any given instance. It may well be that a town is so situated off the lines of communication and trans portation that it is to all intents and purposes isolated. It may be that the natural resources of the lo dies for Britain, New York City, and insure active continuous, coordinated effort within a few days' time. "In this new all-out war, it is just as necessary to keep up the courage and determination of women and children, as to encourage the soldiers on the battle lines. That British home front must hold if the cradle of our race ie to be preserved. It will hold only if the resistance ot cality, on which the life of the, common people of England Wds town depends, have been depleted, It may be that the citizens are quite satisfied with things as they are and do not wish progress to enter, in to disturb the status quo. These thoughts ran through our mind as we meditated on the past, present and future of our own town. There have been some changes in the last few decades. Those changes have been for the better so that to day we have a quiet, restful town to live in as it has held so magnificently on til now. Bundles for Britain is helping to hold it." ; WHITESTON NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Linford Winslow and family, of Belvidere, were guests of Mrs. Winslow's mother, Mrs. Mary Williams, on ISunday. Mr. and Mrs. Milton Cullipherand However, the population ! baby, of Merry Hill, spent Saturday has changed but little; there has been no expansion of the economic life; there has been no introduction of productive industry. From time to time during all the years there have been formed committees repre senting one or another civic group to attempt to attract to Hertford new industries. To date no such committee has scored success. As matter. 6f fart; there ha tfiefaf jbeen any surface Indication ;hat j sfiy pf the committees have even" functioned. The fact remains, however, thsjt .some .ofi these- groups of forward looking TneWhfeve worked and have seen the possibility of bringing new life to the quiet banks of the Per quimans. In the end no hope has been fulfilled, no plan brought to a successful conclusion. Why is it that there seems to be no future economic growth or de velopment' possible for Hertford? Have we no means of transporta tion? Are we so isolated by our geographical location that we cannot link ourselves up with the economic stream of life?
