FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1941 HiBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK THE SUPPORT OF FAITH: And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unta him, 0 thou of little faitii, wherefore didst thou doubt? A Goal Reached A short time ago, less than two months, the Hertford Parent-Teacher Association decided on a project that would supply a curtain for the gtage at the Hertford Grammar School. That goal has been reached and the curtain, a beautiful one, accord ing to all reports, has now been in stalled. That certainly is the kind of action that builds towns and communities. The Weekly salutes the P. T. A. on the achievement of raising the neces sary cash for this curtain. It was only through hard and consistent work that this was accomplished and every member having a part in the drive is to be congratulated now that the goal has been reached. Just A Reminder Although there has been no con centrated drive this week the Bun dles for Britain Committee is an ac tive organization and is working daily toward gathering bundles of old clothes and shipped to needed articles to be! " " unfortunate people in England. , People of Perquimans can assist tiio .nmmJfton o-rnntlv hv letting- it ! know that Bundles are available, so1 that the clothing may be gathered. Don't forget this worthy work, and if you find that you have a "Bundle" get in touch with Mrs. R. T. Clarke, Mrs. J. J. Fleetwood, or Miss Mae Wood Winslow and help the good work along. Mediation Preferred President Roosevelt is taking an appropriate and long-desired step in establishing a Federal mediation board to endeavor to prevent strikes in national defense industries. The United States Conciliation' Service and the Office of Production I Management have done extremely creditable work in this field of keep-1 ing industrial peace. As pointed out in this newspaper, they have settled more tnan o per cent oi tne coniro- versies which threatened to interrupt production. But strikes in the re- maimng 5 per cent of cases can be a serious factor, particularly if the proportion should rise and if they; snould engulf some of the key indus tries, such as steel, motors, ship building, aircraft, strategic metals, and factory, airfield, or cantonment construction. There is a good deal of reason to surmise that President Roosevelt is acting, in .part to forestall what might be more drastic action by Con egress. The representation of busi ness, labor, and the public on the panel, the provision for a waiting period before an announced strike should take effect, and for an inves- tigation and report by the board in! the meantime, are features which b.ad been discussed as a basis for possible legislation. That' they are! now, embodied jn an executive order rather .than a statute may give the board more flexibility in operation. Talk in Congress has, in fact, gone much farther to compulsory arbi tration and possible drafting of labor and industry. These steps are unde sirable and ought to be unnecessary. It is to the interest of both industry and labor to co-operate with each other, with the Conciliation Service, and with the Mediation Board to prove that voluntary methods of de termining working conditions ca-i prevail. Everyone will wish the new agency success. Christian Science Monitor. A Changing Agricultural Policy? Secretary Wickard made a cour ageous address in Indiana the other day. He told the folks at Purdue University that Southern farmers must be encouraged "to raise the v things they need .for .their own tables," even if "no one can guaran tee that f a small portion of such home production might not get into TRYING TOf the so-called commercial market some time, some place, temporarily." However, he went even further than that. "The next thing to be done," he said, "is to help them find the opportunity to receive enough cash income from some source to maintain a decent way of living." He questioned the right of the North ern farmer to hog the market for such products as hogs, soybeans, dairy products, etc., just because they anteceded the South in developing them commercially. Some folks profess to see in Wick ard's Purdue speech and in the new cotton-stamps-for - cotton - growers program a fundamental shift in the agricultural policy of the nation. The accent, they insist, is now to be placed on increasing aid to the small, under-privileged farmers, on the theory that previous farm programs have put the larger, more commer cial farmers on their feet and that they are now able to shift for them selves. More emphasis is to be plac ed on home living, maintenance of people on the land, and less on farm prices. "The first thins: we must realize," says Secretary Wickard, is ....

The Progressive Farmer. SO WHAT? By WHATSO HOT RETORT AND SANE RE SPONSE resulted from the observa tions reported in this column last week with reference to the new home of the Woman's Club. The super flous heat generated does not war rant comment but the sane response from several sources is worthy of consideration. e were glad to get th thmi.arht.fnl rpmnnsp nf those who feei that the best place in town for the location of the permanent home I 0f the Woman's Club is on the site; So generously offered by the City Government on the Town property ' iaLlng tiiuob Street because it biought out several points in its fav- 0r which we had not heard. A very important point, and one very largely overlooked, is that the Grubb Street site is the most cen- trally located spot in town. It is the geographical center so far as the membership in the Club is con cerned. 'Ihat is a fact of the high est importance in picking out a loca tion for the Club House. A second observation brought for ward, and one worthy of thought, is that this is the only available site which would give sufficient space for the attractive placing of a build ing. Lots in other parts of town would be so small that the Club House would have to be cramped up and so wowld ;.be lost that-beauty that is lost to any building,My the lack of more spacious surroundings, The larger grounds, too, will make possible attractive landscaping and so add another beauty spot to the Town. The planting which was done a few years age about the Court House added greatly to the charm of Church Street and it is pointed out, we think aptly, that the same sort of thing could be done about the new Club House located on the prop erty leased from the town. Certain ly it could not be done if the Club were to foe placed on a more re stricted lot. Last but not least, it is also point ed out that the financial arrangement with the town is so generous that one great problem the money prob lemis made much easier so that building can. (be begun in the very near future. THE WOMAN'S CLUB HAS BE COME TOO IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE an organisation to es cape comment. By its service to the community it has made itself a1 semi public 'organization. Its every move is of public- interest and . is bound to cans1 discussion.

Spring is here by the calendar and day after tomorrow or thereabouts the warmth of spring will be in the air and then we should begin to get ready for out-door play. We have been interested the last few years in watching the youngsters and one or two oldsters on the tennis court. We do not understand how they can stand so strenuous a game with the sun beating down and the mercury soaring up to the tune of eighty five or ninety but anyway that is not our business. The players enjoy it and we like to watch them. We sincerely hope that before long we will see signs of life on the tennis court. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Route 2, Box 138 Hertford, N. C, March 24, 1941. Dear Editor: 1 enjoy reading your paper very much; for after looking over the Virginian Pilot and Daily Advance spotted as they are with L-I-Q-U-O-R advertisements, I am happy to look through my home county paper a paper with no pictures of liquor bottles or whiskey ads. However, I see that our State Legislature was a little undivided to be wet. Wine laws were loosenea for more consumption. Now, if there is actually a group -of Americans who must have whis key, wine and beer, why not have it rigidly controlled, and no newspaper advertisements, bill board advertise ing or "Drink More" Campaigns. Morals cannot be legislated. I have heard it said that the only way to stop a drinker is to pen him, execute him or Christianize him. Personally, I prefer Christianizing him; but dry laws and dry towns, officers and legislators are valuable to society in general. Our complaints and grievances committee passed on a State-wide bill to stop North Carolina ABC stores (State referendum.) Look at the votes: 13 to dry up the State; 12 to keep 27 ABC stores open. Again, we come to finances and. look where those in this State of ours put money profits from alcohol Wrecks, accidents, fatalities, de bauchery and prostitution by drunks. Give our State Treasurer at Ra leigh one dollar of liquor tax and it costs us two or more when all of the liabilities of this evil that has haunted man and destroyed homes and cursed children (Noah's son Canaan Gen. 9:25) for four thous and years, is added up. Thus, the finance committee voted it out 32 to 10, and by secret ballot. Reading down a little farther, I see that the Perquimans County Board of Commissioners is going to have asounty vote for an ABC store in Hertford At the earliest possible lawful date, July 6th. , Are we of Perquimans going to vote for this ABC store, stay home and let it be voted in, or go to the polls and vote against it and keep out the atrocious, blighting curse ? For the sake of our homes, .churches, schools, highways and county, all of us must needs be up and working in the Master's vineyard to keep our county as good as it is and help to make it better. Because sentences against an evil work is not executed speedily, there fore the heart of the sons of men is fully set-in them to do evil. Eccles iastes 8:11. ; (Sincerely yours, . TALMAiGE LEWIS.
