Dr. John W. Zachary
Perquimans County suffered the
loss of a valuable citizen last Thurs
day night, when Dr. John W. Zach
ary was killed in an automobile
accident.
Although Dr. Zachary had lived
here but the past seven years, he had
become one of the County's most
public-spirited citizens and he took an
interest in all activities throughout
the community.
Being the county's only dentist,
his practice was large and his friends
numerous. It will be exceedingly
hard to locate a person to fill Dr.
Zachary's position.
The War Fund Drive I
During the week of October 25-30,
the people of Perquimans will be
asked to contribute to the Perquim
ans War Fund, and The Weekly;
urges every man, woman and child
to give as much as possible in this '
campaign.
The local drive will be a part of .
a nation-wide campaign to raise
$125,000,000 for eighteen agencies
carrying on war work. Included are
the USO. Relief to China and other
Allied Nations. The USO will re-;ln
ceive about half of the national quota,
and in this respect every person
should be ready to help, for the fund
going to this organization will be
used to provide a center of recrea- on hogs in various terminals

women in our Armed Forces. Re

being done by the USO, and that
covers boys from this county as well.
The Perquimans County quota has
been set at $3,500, end when one
considers the USO will spend much
more than that amount right here at
home in establishing and conducting
a USO center in Hertford, local peo
ple should not hesitate to contribute
freelv toward this fund.
Home Front Report
What does a returned American
soldier think about, when he walks
off the boat or steps out of a plane
and takes a taxi uptown and sees
the city he left a year ago? Is the
"good old U. S. A." changed? What
of his fellow-citizens' attitude? Is
he displeased with what he s'es and
hears?
Some of these lads are drifting
hack recuperating, transferred to
duty in training areas, or on special
missions. One of them, Technical
Sergeant John M. Willig, staff writer
for The Stars and Stripes Weekly,
sends a dispatch to his paper in North
Africa in which he tries to tell the
lads over there what he sees.
Changes in eating and drinking
and traveling habits are most notice
able, but the mental attitude of
Americans impresses him most. His
taxi driver, and others at home,
seemed to think that with Musso
lini's fall, Italy was out of the war,
the end of the war in Europe just
around the corner, and that they had
been right all along in their rosy out
look. The newspapers with their big
headlines on good news did little to
dispel that impression, says the
soldier.
Still, even if civilians are in
dulging in wishful thinking, they are
in dead earnest about making what
ever sacrifices are necessary to win
the war on the home front, writes
Sergeant Willig. They may "beef"
about confusion and politics in Wash
ington, but they have resigned them
selves to putting up" with most of it
for the boys' sake.
That's the kind of news that the
man at the front wants to hear. It
encourages him. That's what he
should be reading in his letters from !
home, too. They shouldn't be filled
with complaints about rationing, in
come taxes, strikers and profiteers.
That's no help. It doesn't mean that
civilians .should take injustice or in
efficiency "lying down," either. The
evidence seems to indicate that the1
average. American really is doing his
ibest to back up his boys at the front.
It will .help "the boy" if he knows it.

Farm Labor Situation Helped
Three hundred thousand more men
of military age were put to work on
farms during the first six months of i
this year than in the same months of
1942, because of draft deferment and1
other measures taken to conserve '
agricultural labor. This number was!
sufficient to offset net losses of work-
ers of military age from farms dur-
tne t half of 1942, according to
'he Department of Agriculture.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
JESUS AND THE SABBATH
International .Sunday School Lesson
for October 17, 1943.
GOLDEI TEXT : "And he said
unto them, The Sabbath was
made for man, and not man for
the Sabbath." Mark 2:27.
(Lesson Text: Exodus 20:8-11;
Isaiah 5S:13-4; Mark 2:25-3:6)
We have for this week a considers
tion of the Fourth Commandment,
which concerns the Sabbath Day. We
have seen in the past three lessons
that the First Commaadment has to
do with the oneness or uniqueness of
God. the Second Commandment witn
the worship of God, the Third Com-
mandment with the reverence lor
God and the commandment for our
consideration this .week, the Fourtn,
with the day of God. i
A close study of the Ten Com
mandments as a whole reveals the
the last six concern mans duty to
his fellowmen, while the Fourth
Commandment forms a link between
the two, having to do with man's
dutv to God in the setting apart or
keeping holy one day in seven and his
moral duty to others, in regard to
the keeping of the Sabbath.
As a means of causing his people
to remember him and his goodness
to them and to be faithful unto him ,
'and, also, as a
their lives, God

means of enriching

Quite a bit of discussion and dis
sension has arisen as to the proper
observance of the Sabbath. If one is

The word "holy" eliminates the
possibility of much that some have
accepted as a proper observance of
the Sabbath. Instead of being a

Th. nrA "Sihl-rt" in Htr,
The word "Sabbath" in Hebrew i
means to break ff, or to desist, or
sjmply a time of cessation from
work. , Someone ihas f said: "The
greatest gift Go, ever 'made to the
world was tile gift of His Son.
"Next in importance to tJiia gift
we may place thj gift of the Sabbath
dayf for it was siren for oar highest
benefit" God, ijj, bis wonderful pro
vision for man, realized his need for
a day of rest ihysical, mental and
spiritual. '
When God gave man the Sabbath,
he was not laying a burden upon
I him. He knew that man's body
i would grow stronger and be capable
j Of more service if he rested one day f
I in seven.
I A great business man, when asked
if he thought the Sabbath was bene
! fictel to man, said, "The Sabbath day
is for our physical good. All nature
needs periods ;! of rest. Animals
thrive better and do more work If
given regular periods of rest Men
are the same. ? Even machinery and
tools of iron and steel need occasional
rest, or they Jose their durability.
Physicians have found that the keep
ing of the Sabbath improves health,
and it has been proved over and over
that people can accomplish more
work if they test one day in seven."
Let us never forget that the Sab
bath is God's day. It does not belong
to, us to do with as we please. It is
a day set apart from the other six
days on which man works for hbn-
seii and on it there snouid oe a
complete cessation of all ordinary
labor and only those things done
which are absolutely necessary. The
day should be made one of real rest
and recreation through worship.
How did Jesus keep the Sabbath
when he was on earth? First, he al
ways went to the synagogue and took
part in -the formal worship service of
his day. But he did not consider that
this was all that he should do. lie
rendered unselfish service to others,
healing the sick, comforting the sad
and blessing all with whom he came
in contact
Surely, we as Christians need to
look np further for an example of
proper Sabbath observance or how
we may profitably "remember the
(Sabbath day to keep it holy." Let's
be so busy doing those things we
should do that we will have no time
to do those we know we should not
do!
