This week citizens of Hertford were notified of the hours of duty they are expected to put in at the Observation Tower, aiding the Army Air Force in carrying out flight training programs. We have been unable to learn thus far of the suc cess in this work to date, but we do hope that every resident who has been called upon to serve will do so willingly. The job of running this observa tion tower is a war-time proposition. A small one, it is true, but one that is necessary and every resident should remember that soldiers and sailors have irksome duties too, but tlhey get them done ... so let's all make this observation tower job a successful one. Drive Successful Perquimans County Is closing the Second War Loan drive by a rousing 65 per cent, over-subscrption of war bonds . . . and by doing so, will gain the honor of having one of Uncle Sam's bombers named for the county. Every resident of the county can well be proud of this achievement, for each one who purchased bonds during the drive had a hand in mak ing it a success. Congratulations should go to the County Finance Committee and to the Woman's Division of the War Sav ings Staff for the fine work accom plished. Many of the committee worked hard that Perquimans might win such honors . . it was never doubted but that the County would meet its goal, it was a question as to how great the amount subscribed would be. With such a fine record having been established during the Second War Loan drive, Perquimans County should meet every future quota in the same manner. Mother's Day The second Sunday in Mav. Moth er's Day, presents mankind with an opportunity to honor the living and revere the memory of departed mothers. Mere words cannot adequately pro claim the heartfelt gratitude of sons and daughters whose lives have been blessed by devoted mothers. The mother, loving and beloved, not only inspires her children, but, more particularly, by precept and example, teaches, trains, uplifts and improves them. The homage that men and women pay at the shrine of motherhood is but a token of memories deep in their hearts. Adult years, with parent hood and understanding, are often necessary before one fully appre ciates the service and sacrifice of mothers. Let us not forget however that, in the words of Thackery, "Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children." Coleridge called a mother, "the holiest thing alive" and George Her bert thought one good mother "worth a hundred school masters." A Span ish proverb adds, "An ounce of moth er is worth a ton of priest." Most gratifying is the Yiddish pro verb: "God could not be everywhere, so He made mothers." Time In Tunisia When France fell, in June of 1940, only about half of Africa remained outside .Axis control. Even eight months ago, Rommel stood at the gates of Alexandria, key city to Suez and British power in North Africa. Today all Africa is free except for a tiny toehold on the tip of Tunisia. In the last month the United Nations forces have taken twice as much ter ritory as the armies of (Tonomi Arnim now hold. These successes are encouraging, but do not hide the fact the rate of advance has slowed up since General Montgomery ran into the hills around Enfidaville. The largest gains have come recently from French, Ameri can, and British First Army sorties on the West The Eighth Army ap pears to be gathering its feet for vthCaroiina" na SiAS10CUTIOre) witi .wort row itcnarxrimrt CKXHG AROUND IN J SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON International Sunday School for May 9, 1943.

There the full weight of Allied armor can be used and should sweep out every thing but the heavy defenses of the fortress at Bizerte. Hitler is buying time in Tunisia, time to strike once more in Russia, time to' prepare against Allied in vasion in Europe. He is paying a high price, hundreds of planes in cluding the huge six-motored Messer schmitt transports and their cargoes, not to mention half his ships that cross from Sicily. The Allies, too, are . airchasing time. By slower siege methods they might hope to starve out Axis forces. Instead they are pushing hard against strong defenses. One compensation is that they are training a striking force as no field maneuvers could train it. But they are willing to pay primarily because the clearing up of the Mediterranean will save millions of ton-miles for the ships that must supply that second front in Europe. And if that front is to make the most of the summer it must soon be opened.

In the second chaptt. ot The Acts of the Apostles one reads of the visit of the Holy Spirit to Peter and the other apostles and the effect it had upon them, resulting in the great sermon of Peter's at Pentecost to the people of Jerusalem, resulting in the conversion of three thousand souls. Several months after Pentecost, Peter and John, entering the temple for prayer one afternoon, came upon a beggar at the Beautiful Gate who had been lame from birth. "The Beautiful Gate means for us, the hour of opportunity that lies close to the hour of prayer," says Charles Cuthbert Hall. "What do I mean by that ? I mean that those who enter into this experience of prayer will find lying all along the pathway of life occasions for service, and powers for service which but for their ex perience in prayer they would neith er have seen nor have been able to use. I believe that prayer not only keeps alive in us but keeps in work ing power influences which -do not continue unless we continue in prayer. The discontinuance of prayer means to rob life of power." The beggar, as he had done many hundreds of times, requested a gift of money, but. Peter realized the oppor tunity for a much ' more valuable gift. "Peter doth not speak before he is certain of the purpose and intent of God," said John Calvin. "And surely in these words he commandeth him to hope for some singular and un wonted benefit; yet here may question be moved, whether they had power to work miracles so often as they would. I answer, that they were ministers of God's power in such sort, and that they did attempt noth ing of their own will or when he Valuable Property such as range, pots, pans, tables, and cutlery, ice box, sewing i furniture such as beds, bedroom f 3 H. Medlin knew that it was expedient it should be bo. Hereby it came to pass , that thev healed one and not all. There for, as in other things; they had the Spirit of God to be their , guide and director, so also in this point." Eeter had no moneyito give the beggar but this did not prevent him from helping him. The Great Apos tle realized the truth expressed by Wijiiam Allen White that" "service Is the coin in which humanity's greatest debts are paid." Peter did not lament the fact that he could not give gold .nor did he fail to .(realize that money Is not the only moans whereby help can be given. If every Christian man and woman could follow Peter's motto of helpful ness, "What I have, that give I thee," how much better the world would soon be. Very likely a number of those who read this column have often specu lated upon the great good which one cottld do with a large fortune while entirely omitting to utilize the op portunity and resources which they actually have. "The positive rather than the negative facts about Peter's life were decisive," says Charles R. Brown. "The world is not much interested in what men do not have or in what they cannot do or in what they can not believe. What have you? What can you do? What do you believe? There are the significant elements in any life. And what is still more to the purpose, what do you mean to do with those gifts ? If you are ready to trive such as you have in the way ! that Peter did, then, lame lives of all sorts can be set upon their feet and made to advance under their own steam." Following the cure of the lame man, a great crowd gathered in Solomon's Porch and to them Peter delivered another stirring sermon about Jesus, in whose name and through whose power he advised them the miracle had been accomplished. Once again large crowds identified themselves with the new faith. However, Peter in his sermon touch ed on the resurrection of Jesus, which caused the Sadducees to take offense inasmuch as they did not believe in immortality. So, Peter and John were put in prison and the next day brought the Sanhedrin, the same au thoritative body of the Jewish reli gion and race which had condemned Jesus. To these rulers Peter deliver ed a spirited defense, proclaiming Jesus as the Christ in whom alone was salvation. Peter before the Sanhedrin was a different man from the denying fish erman only a short while before. Something had happened to him and Dr. J. H. Jowett points out what this was: "He naa Deen 10 me empty tomb. The awe of the resurrection o 7- UtttntoH.V. Kahoa born, daaN ef New Connantatarg, at 7i4S PM. aa WTA1.

The live coal from the altar of his Lord's love had touched him, and hadpurged away the uncleanliness of his denial.

Applications Are Made For 1942 AAA Farmers More than 196,000 applications for payments for carrying out "approved production practices and adjustment measures under the 1943 Agricultu ral Adjustment Agency farm program already have been received in the State AAA Office, according to H. A, Patten, State AAA executive" assist ant. Final dates for executing applica tions was March SI and a small num ber of applications remain in county AAA offices for final preparation, he said. He estimated that earnings under the 1942 AAA program will reach approximately $12,600,883 for both production practices and adjustment measures. This figure is more than $2,000,000 below the earnings during the 1941 program year because of automatic elimination of most parity payments because of higher prices and streamlining of the production practice phase of the program to meet wartime demands.
