KJHI.K THOUGHT FOR WEEM
GOD'S PURPOSES WILL FINAL
LY TRIUMPH: And He shall judge
among the nations, and shall rebuke
many people: and they shall beat
their swords into plowshares, and
their spears into pruning hooks: na
tion shall not life up sword against
nation, neither shall they learn war
any uiore. Isa. 2:4.
False Rumors
The Perquimans Weekly has just
learned, of a dirty piece of gossip now
in cc-iation throughout the county
and ..ants to take this time to im
ploie the good people of Perquimans
Cou . v to stamp it out wherever
possible.
riie gossip, as it comes to us, is
that volunteer workers striving to
raise the $1,500 requested by the
American Red Cross for use in our
war are paid one-half of their collec
tions as commission. THIS IS AN
OUTRIGHT FALSEHOOD.
The workers calling on the people
are doing so at their own expense
and time. They receive nothing for
their trouble except to know that they
are serving their country in time of
need.
So let's stamp out this rumor if
you hear it, you know that it is false.
Naturally, in times like these, there
are rumors and rumors of rumors.
Our Government has requested, and is
now urging: ALL AMERICANS to
pay no attention to street talk.
Many times information is passed a-
long thai is.Jtfmpltely false. Most
of the ttu i Hjese rujnors have their
beginning at the offices of our ene
mies and are given out for the sole
purpose of disorganizing and discour
aging Americans.
You can always remember this:
When a drive or project is in the
hands of such an organization as the
American Red Cross, the Salvation
Army, or the USO, it is for the pur
pose of helping America, for those
organizations are as American as the
Perquimans River.
Avoid War Hysteria
According to history books, if one
searches for detail, when the Spanish
American War broke out every sea
port on the Atlantic Coast thought
the Spanish fleet Was just about to
bombard it, and called for naval pro
tection. Events showed the Spanish
fleet hopelessly outclassed by the
American warships.
In the First World War the sub
marine gave many people the jitters.
Many German U-boats were sighted
off the American coast, and while
some actually came and sank some
ships, there were not nearly as many
as there were rumors and fears from
time to time. Getting excited didn't
help matters in the slightest.
The airplane will probably be the
main subject of false alarms in this
Second World War. Bombers will be
reported and awaited in many places
needlessly and without accurate
basis. Not every plane flying in the
sky is an "unidentified plane, proba
bly hostile" on its way to bomb some
American city.
While it is wise to be on the alert,
to adopt every protective measure,
we should seek to avoid war hysteria.
We should not accept every rumored
event which we read or hear about.
Wait in confidence until the Govern
ment makes its official announcement
as to what has actually happened.
A democratic government does not
hide facts from its people. Witness
the example of Prime Minister
Churchill, who has repeatedly and
promptly advised his people of mili
tary or naval disasters. President
Roosevelt has promised that the
same policy will be followed, and
news given out provided only it will
not help the enemy. That's fair and
desirable.
Everybody can help" " , in this great
struggle. Avoiding hysteria is oniy
one way. Working hard at each ac
cepted Job is another. Buying De
fense Boads i another. Contributing
to the Red Cross appeal is still
another. Keep busy. Keep your
faith. Help win the war. -
Per capita, consumption of canned
foods by our armed forces is several
times that of fctvfliaitt, 1 the Depart
ment of Commerce says. 1
