Bundles For Britain The Hertford committee of the Bundles for Britain organization started the local campaign here last week and is to be congratulated on the splendid results thus far.

'C. y;1 The War Hurts The Fanner They kept repeating what Richard Allen, delegate of the American Red Cross, had just said that this ship's cargo was a "token of American sympathy" for France. That phrase must have carried nourishment for the hope and the courage of Frencn patriots, as the ship carried nourish ment for children's bodies. "France does not flaunt her misery," saio Jean Barraud. for the Perfect ol Marseille; "America has neverthe less understood." Since the ship had to pass through the British blockade, it may be addea that the British also understood that this errand of mercy was one that could not be perverted by the ene mies of France. Thus the cargo whs really a token of sympathy from two great free peoples who are de termined to remain free and to help others who still want to be free. Free peoples are not callous. The, do not shrug their shoulders over the sufferings of freedom's friends. The do not have it in their hearts iu ?lory even in the suffering of fret dom's enemies. "Long live America, long Hvj France," was the -cry of gratituow ent up at Marseille.,' The only bai riers that Americans or Briton would raise against the feeding ot France are those required to make this hope come true. The world at, last will be conquered mainly by kindness: this faith is deeply em bedded in the democratic concept of livinsr. To temper mercy with wis dom is the problem of this difficult hour. Meanwhile, any increasing knowl edge among free men that they ca.i extend help and comfort to unwilling -aDtives of tyranny starts a warm of hoDefulness through the, reins as news of a victory in battle Christian Science Monitor. feel the same way. Statistics reveal that American agricultural exports in January a- mounted to only $22,000,000, or less than seven per cent of our foreign trade. What this means to our farmers is apparent when- we reflect that In January, 1940, before the blitzkrieg, our agricultural exports were worth $97,000,000. The sale of the products of our farms, to foreign countries, is said to be at the lowest level since 1869 and nobody has any idea when the export markets will improve. Here is what happened to agricul tural exports in one year, from Janu ary, 1940, to January, 1941: Cotton shipments dropped from more than 1,000,000 bales to 60,000, wheat from 608,000 bushels to 46,. 000: corn from 5,242,000 bushels to 766,000; apples from 243,000 bushels to 64,000; meat products from 86, ,139,000 pounds to 4,557,000; lard from 27,880,000 pounds to 13,666, 000, and so on. Everybody knows that foreign markets or some of our chief ajpdr cultural products had been sTiox to piecef before the war begah but the figures above "show the extent of drastic reductions in the last twelve months. It begins to appear that the American farmer has an interest In the peace and well-being of the peo ples of foreign countries and that his prosperity -is inextricably bound to the fortunes of other lands.

These three words tell the story of the Buttdles for Britain work in the community. A coupie of weeks ago the Voman's Club un dertook to sponsor this work local ly; the news columns of this paper relates the fine results already at tained. The question now . is what next? So iar it is really only the 1 own of Hertford that has been called upon to contribute. The work has not reached oul; into the County. We do not know how the County work is to be organized, but we havp no doubt that it will be and that the results from the County will at least equal those attained in the Town. By the proper use of the churches, schools and key men in the various parts of the. County, won- 'derjka5ompUab,l .The peo ple of this county, are Jine i ioiaa ai heirtt. All that, is? JfteMedLto unitf them in a worthy "taus is intelligent and enthusiastic leadership SPEAKING OF THE WOMAN'S CLUB leads us to step in where even angels, perhaps, would fear to tread! However, what we have Jo say is not just our own personal opinion, but is the opinion as well of many citizens, men and women, whoare friends and admirers of the Woman's Club. It is highly desirable that the Club have a building of its own at the earliest;, opportunity. The pres ent efforts of the Club to get such a building; 4re ' worthy of all praise. It is, however, unwise in the opinion of many for the Club, to build for itself home stuck Way off, out of sighted, out- of touch with the general life of the Town. We have a feeling that by taking a little more tame, giving theumattet a, little mor thoughtrayisrbsfwith. an, ey focused :Oril .biUtgojfe distant, fu? ture, the Woman's Club can do "fat better by itself and the community than b7 building on th site that is contemplated. THE BUILDING OF A HUT FOB THE BOY SCOUTS la another pro position that is in the air and de serves the thought and interest ol the Community. Here again the same problem arises that we have in the case of the new home for the Woman's Club. Where shall tne building be placed? BOY SCOUTS AND THE WOMANY3 CLUB ARE THE TWO FINEST AND MOST WORTHWHILE ORGANIZATIONS IN HERTFORD. THE HUT FOR THE SCOUTS AND THE HOME FOR THE WOMAN'S CLUB SHOULD NOT BE RELEGATED TO SOME FAR OFF CORNER OF THE TOWN. THE CENTERS OF THEIR ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE OUT IN THE OPEN WHERE THEY CAN BE SEEN. That is the gen eral feeling of all who are interested and all the worthwhile citiaens of the Town are interested. TJie" problem may not be easy to solve and this column is not going to try to solve it but we feel, and feel very strongly, that if real thought is given the matter some solution "can"be founo which .will be, of great benefit to all concerned. f '";'f- ( (.' JUST HOW WELL 1$ HERT FORD GOVERNED? It should be the best governed town in North Carolina! No man should be allow ed to serve this Town as Mayor or member of the Town Council unless he can show that he is qualified by ability or experience or both to ren der a service which will rejujt in an improvement of conditions. Any man who aspires to the honor of serving his fellow citizens should be able to demonstrate to the voters that he sees the problems of our community and also has a plan for their solution. Just because you like a man is no reason on earth to vote for him. We do not vote to show our personal likes and dislikes! We vote to place in office the man whom we feel and believe is the most com petent man to carry out the duties of that office. Whether or not we like him personally is not the ques tion.
