FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1941 BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK THIS IS NO MERE HEARSAY MATTER: That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye may also have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. I John 1:3. Here And Wiere With cotton prices at a new high and the prospects of peanuts bring ing a good price, it looks as though Perquimans will have some prosper ity this fall. But as one prominent business man stated, we all should not expect conditions to remain this Way forever,' for they certainly will not. September 16 to 20 is "Retailers-for-Defense Week" if you plan to start buying Defense Savings iStamps do it next week. Buy them from your local merchants they are co operating with the program. Even though the Railroad Unions have called a strike, it is not lokely that there will be a walk-out. The members of those Unions, as well as the members of the typographical unions, are not like those trouble makers causing so much trouble with the defense program. When the railway and press unions vote a strike, they usually have just cause. They don't strike just for the fun of it. Schools in rerquimana open on Wednesday of next week and shortly after that, no doubt, we will have some football playing around these parts. The Perquimans Weekly cer tainly would like to see a Boosters' Club fornfed that would mean a real turn-out to see the local team play its home games. School busses will be on the roads starting next week, carrying children to and from schools ... motorists can aid in this transportation work by making sure they drive safely and sanely when approaching or passing a bus. Don't hurt the little fellows . . . .they won't hurt you. Four-fifths Of The World At War Four-fifths of thft people of the world are now actively engaged in warfare, according to the National Georgraphic Society, which notes that the United States and the other American republics are the only size able portions of the world not active belligerents. Much the same observation was true two years after the first World War began. It was not so after three years of war. Let us hope that the third year of the present war will not duplicate the event of the earlier period. It is too early, however, to be over-confident. The Axis powers are almost without friends on this side of the Atlantic Ocean and there seems to be a growing solidarity be tween the two Americas, as exhibited by the recent agreement of the twen ty-one republics to make use of Axis shipping immobilized in this hemisphere. No man can foretell what will happen in the next twelve months. The likelihood of our becoming em broiled in the struggle depends upon the outcome of the present anv paigns, notably the fight in Russia. It also depends upon the, quantity of war supplies that we provide for the opponents of aggression. Japan's Fake "Safety Zone" Japan is beginning to talk about a "safety zone" around the Japanese islands, the intimation being that she seeks to do in the Far East what the . United States and other republics have done in the Western Hemis phere. ' , There is no reason for anybody to become confused- abjut , the matter. The Japanese plan 'is far different from that put info ttf act iattds hem isphere, t '"v ' v When the European war broke out tjbe Amrit fnubllcs set np a safe ty Mne''U,i"vAtit warfare in the xOtaitt Carolina rvATOj. pcnmiiAKs weekly. nssTForj), w.-cy "Til STICK ': TO YOUR 30P!.b' waters around the two continents of this hemisphere. There was no re striction whatever upon normal com merce and even Japan, Germany, Italy and Great Britain were freely permitted to load merchant ships. Japan has no idea of a similar safety zone. What Tokyo wants to do is to assert control of all, com merce passing through the waters of the Japanese islands. There is little chance of warfare in the Far East unless Japan starts it but there is no justification for an attempt to ban commerce by setting up a so-called safety zone. The United States, despite its safety zone, permitted Japan toend ships and tankers into our ports, to transport goods and oil. This was permitted after Japan announced ad herence to the Axis group, which was officially proclaimed as hostile to the United States. There is, of course, no justifica tion for any safety zone in inter national law. The degree of such an area is only as strong as the fighting strength of the group that asserts it. Nevertheless, there is a vast differ ence between an effort to police the oceans to prevent warfare close to peaceful nations and another to at tempt to prohibit commerce between two nations, neither of which is at war with the third power. Home And Sunday School Chromosomes and reflexes, it ap pears, are not such conclusive regu lators of the sources of juvenile crime as the climes of yesteryear tried to establish. Home and Sunday School count for more, according to a triple survey conducted in San Francisco, to determine the reasons and remedies for the serious prob lem of delinquency. A special Community Chest com mittee, taking part in the survey, designates the spiritual training which a child receives from parents and from Sunday School teaching as being "the greatest single factor" in restraining youth from criminal ac tivity. This part of the report con cludes that no clinic can meet the problems of child behavior so effec tively or permanently as can the in fluence of sound moral guidance re ceived at home or in church. Federal Bureau of Investigation records support the San Francisco findings. Tracing the history of some of the most notorious gangsters brought to justice during the pasi fifteen years, one arrives in most cases at a condition of utter lack of home discipline and moral direction in early life. The people on the Pacific Coast who demanded the survey under dis cussion and indicated their readiness to support an active program to com bat locally the influences harmful to youth are to be congratulated. Com bining the finds of the schools, the juvenile courts and social investiga tors throughout the city should fur nish a sufficiently broad basis on which to begin the constructive work.
