BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK
A TRIED HELPER: Thou hast
been my help; leave me not, neither
forsake me, O God of my Balvation.
Psalm 27:9.
STOPPED!
The Peanut Quotas
Situated as we are, here in Per
quimans County in one of the finest
peanut growing areas in the entire
nation, we can not stress enough thr
importance of the peanut referendum
to be held April 26.
The Peanut Bill passed by Con
gress and signed by the President
places the peanut problem right in
the laps of the farmers who grow
them and now, if they would protect
themselves and the price of theii
production, it is up to the growers to
vote in the coming election to deter
mine whether or not marketing quo
tas are to be had on this farm pro
duct. Farmers of Perquimans Count
would do well to consider this vote
as a serious one. The peanut, while
not the only major crop ,rrown here,
is just as important as any others
and in order to insure prices and
government cooperation it will be
necessary to vote for marketing
quotas.
It is highly probable that this en
tire area will vote favorably toward
the referendum but that is not
enough. Inasmuch as it is also quite
likely that the Southwestern states,
which grow peanuts as a side crop
will consider the vote in a light man
ner, it may be necessary for this
Northeastern section to furnish the
necessary margin to insure the elec
tion. Therefore, The Weekly joins
with County Agent L. W. Anderson
and urges every peanut grower in I
Perquimans to work, talk and vote
in the referendum scheduled for next
week.
Peanut Farmers, be sure to vote . .
. . and ask your neighbor to do likewise.
1 ' ' tit I V
in which a war might be decided are
vulnerable sections, containing farm
lands and such industrial develop
ments as Turkey has built. The
Turks are extremely poor. Their
equipment is not a shadow of a
match for that which the Nazis have
brought into the Balkans. Many of
the Turkish guns are of Czech or
German manufacture for which am
munition is reported to have been un
available to Turkey since the start
of the war.
The Turks could mobilize perhaps
2,000,000 soldiers. Yet at this late
hour j seems doubtful, for all their
courage, that they could play a de
cisive role in the Balkan campaign,
unless the Yugoslavs, Greeks and
British show much stronger resis
tance than they have as yet to the
Nazi machine.
So the Turks are at a stop-look-and-listen
sign. And apparently whai
they have heard most distinctly is
the frightening promise of Franz
von Papen. They must be. .looking
hard toward Moscow in these tense
hours, and waiting anxiously fot
better news from across the Aegean.
What they heard from their Soviet
friends will likely depend on what
the world hears from Greece. The

HOSTESS AT BRIDGE PARTY
MISSIONARY SOCIETY MEETS
Nothing Like It
With an avowed intention of try
ing to keep The Weekly as a non
political newspaper, we care little
about political appointments and a lot
less about "hopping" on band wagons,
but there seems to be lots of sport
in that political game.
For instance, during the past sev
eral weeks, there has been rumors,
and rumors of rumors, regarding
the political appointment of a High
way Commissioner from this district.
First this one and then that one
was, on reliable information, schedul
ed to get the job . . . and each time
there was always a "hop toward the
wagon" but never a complete jump.
Now the latest information has it
that Carroll Wilson, publisher of the
Roanoke Rapids Herald, is practical
ly a cinch for the job. The Weekly
hopes he gets it . . . and we have no
intention of jumping on a band
wagon.
The writer has known Carroll Wil
son a number of years and knows
him to be a straight-shooter that
will make every attempt to do what
he promises.
The Weekly believes that Carroll
Wilson will do a fine job, if appoint
ed, and have the interest of this en
tire district at heart and make every
attempt to give us better roads and
more ot them.
Personally, we know of no finer
addition that Governor Broughton
can make to his official family. '
Turkey Waits
And Hopes
The Nazi Ambassador to Turkey is
reported to have said that the Third
Reich is not going to attack Turkey,
so the Turkish Government has eva
cuated numbers of civilians from Is
tanbul and reportedly from the Dar
danelles area. So much for what the
Turks think of a Nasi promise.
Turkey's position is the extremely
Bhcornfortable one of ' recognizing
danger 'without knowing , what, If
anything, can be done to meet it
The Dardanelles are considered safe
from sea attack since they were for

BEER LICENSE
RENEWALS
(An Open Letter to County and City Officials)
May is the month when city and county authorities
have the responsibility of passing on yearly appli
cations for beer licenses.
It is the hope of the Brewers and North Carolina
Beer Distributors Committee that local authorities
will scrutinize the record of each applicant, and
will deny renewals to the few who have abused the
privilege of a license.
Careful selection of licensee fosters better law ob
servance requiring a small expenditure for en
forcement and allowing larger sums for welfare and
school purposes.
