Hertford's Traeif Fire
Hertford's greatest calamity in'
more than a decade occurred last
Friday afternoon when the fire,
which destroyed the J. C. Blanchard
Store, resulted in the death of Mrs.
J. A. Perry and injuries to nine
persons.
The news of the disaster spread
rapidly throughout the entire eastern
area of the State and the people of
Perquimans were deeply shocked
over the loss of life and the injuries
sustained, as well as the material
loss to the organization which has
served this county for one hundred
and eleven years.
There is little that can be said or
written at such times that might
ease the burden of those affected,
but we believe there is comfort in
knowing that the people of this com
munity greive with those so affected,
affected.
The rapidity of this calamity was
so great we doubt if any other re
sults than those which occurred were
possible. It was but - a, short time
when a host of citizens, had joined in
th ioh of reseuiner the Dersons tran-
ted in the fire and aiding in the task i
of fighting the fire.
It would be impossible to name all
those who rendered assistance dur
ing the three hours in which this fire
raowl hut The Wpeklv does wish to i
offer commendation to the Edenton,
Elizabeth City and Harvey's Point
Naval Air Station Fire Departments,
as well as to the Hertford Fire De
partment for the valiant job they did
in combatting the flames. The work,
especially that done by the sailors
from our own Naval Air Station, was
outstanding, and the promptness of
the response to the call for help was
speed itself.
To Lieut Jefferson B. Fordham
and his men from Harvey's Point,
Mayor Jerome Flora and his Eliza
beth City firemen and Fire Chief
Dick Hall and his Edenton firemen
we wish to express appreciation for
their cooperation with the Hertford
Fire Department in the bringing of
the fire under control.
Tools For Farmers
The War Production Board has
earmarked a supply of tools and
equipment for retailers serving farm
ers in order that the nation's farm
ers may get the items necessary to
produce for victory.
Specific percentages have been
given to manufacturers and whole
salers, requiring them to set aside for
sale for farm distribution stocks of
needed items. For a limited period,
preference ratings are to be disre
garded to the extent necessary to till
orders from farm distributors up to
the specified amounts.
The action of the WPB may be
somewhat tardy but it,-at least, will
tend to relieve a situation which has
Jeen giving farmers considerable
concern. Certainly, it is not possible
to produce crops without the imple
ments and machinery.
May Draft Miners
Two weeks ago, we said that "the
solution to the problem of the min
ers, if the strike is renewed, is easy.
Congress should promptly pass a law,
empowering the President to draft
miners for the public service, using
the Selective Service machinery and
enrolling all necessary miners in the
service of the Government."
One week later President Roosevelt
stated that the Government had tak
en steps to set up the machinery for
inducting into the armed services all
miners subject to the Selective Ser
vice Act who absented themselves
without just cause from the work in
the mines under Government opera
tion. He called attention to the Selective
Service Act which does not authorize
the induction of men above forty
five years into the armed services
and expressed his intention to re
quest Congress to raise the aire limrt
for non-combat military service xc ,
sixty-five years. j
If, at any time in the future, lie .
explained, there should arise a threat I
of interruption of work in plants, j

YES, INDEED, FOLKS! You can ride the Norfolk Southern Buses
and will not have to worry about war-time use of your gas or tires
. . . but we want you to think just a minute about those five minutes

You know there is a lot more

It is not just a haphazard
thing, either. The people who
