Jlevival Closes At -Methodist Church , A successful series of revival ser vices came to a elose at the First Methodist "Church ;in Hertford last Sunday night: The pastor, the Ice v. B. C.

The question was raised whether the check represented pay ment for services in connection with an application filed with the Com mission. In view of the fact that members of Congress ate prohibited from ac cepting fees for appearing before governmental" agencies the Commis sion turned over the check and other evidence to. he Department of Jus tice. 1 vestigation. , In view of the situation outlined above and especially the investiga tion of the 2,500 check, it was ob viously improper for Mr. Cox to serve as a member of the investigat ing committee and direct the inquiry. Moreover, the methods and pro- cedure of the Committee plainly indi-. cated an entire absence of a judicial frame of mind. Hearings were sche- duled and conducted so as to secure i publicity for charges against the Commission without permitting it to make any reply. The peculiar situation was brought to the attention of the House in May, when Commissioner Clifford J. Dun filed a petition requesting that Re presentative Cox be disqualified as chairman. The House Judiciary Committee ue clared that, it was without authority and Mr. Durr requested the speaker to place his petition before the entire 2-(Sedan.

Before this was done, how- ever, Mr. L,o resignea. We chronicle the matter somewhat fully because it is of tremendous im- portance. Both houses of Congress hav. javin. tpnHencv to use in veStigating committees as engines of per8ecution, with little or no effort to carry out anything like a judicial Federal departments, officials, and, at times, private citizens have sul fered unjustly because, very often, charges made against them received much greater publicity than their ex planations and defense. This is the first time, so far as we know, that a member of a committee of Congress, engaged in an investiga tion, has resigned under the pressure of public opinion. There was general approval of the positiori of the FCC that a committee, investigating its operations, should be composed of Congressmen, who, without question, were unbiased and unprejudiced. Catholic Services For Coming Week The Most Holy Sacrifice of Mass is offered every Sunday the at 8:!i() a. m., at the Harvey' Point.

One Fatal Accident Reported By Highway Safety Division Perquimans County was charged with having one fatal highway acci dent during the past year, according to a report issued this week by the State Highway Safety Division. Throughout the State a decided re duction in fatal highway accidents was, reported. However, Perquimans ( had the same figures for 1943 as in I 1942. ' Most of the accidents reported oc curred in the larger cities of the State. WILLIAM M. EASON William M.

D 1 C A lUmSJ oQIldS OaVed A truck loaded with furniture, driv en by an unidentified resident of Pamlico County, was destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon on route 17, just north of the causeway. The fire was caused by the driver throwing away a cigarette, which lighted the furniture. On discovery of the fire, the truck was stopped and the Hertford Fire Department was called to the scene. The blaze had destroyed most of the furniture, but the firemen saved a cedar chest which contained $1,800 worth of war bonds. Annual Food Loss Cuts Into Supply Analytical studies of garbage col-1 lected in 247 cities show that Ameri can garbage contains an average, waste of three-fourths of a pound of I food for each person every day, say home economists with the State Col lege Extension Service. Many food losses naturally occur in the transportation of food to mar ket by truck, boat or train. Then when the food reaches the retail j stores it may be wasted by careless' pastor handling or pinching fruit and vege to all tables to see if they are ripe. And, Harvey in restaurants and public eating, i places, a tremendous waste occurs. However, it is in the home that the( home economists want to cut wastes most. They quote figures from the findings of government nutritionists to support their contention. I If each home wasted one slice of bread per week, the total would amount to approximately two million loaves a week. About one-fourth of the food in garbage cans consists of; irreen vegetables, this shows; that American homemakers should learn to prepare vegetables with the same skill they prepare desserts and meats, say the home . economists. Little dabs of butter left on plates add up. The rules of good etiquette prevent Americans from getting the last piece of meat on the bone, tipping their soup bowls or sopping up their gravy with a piece of bread. Throwing away the peel from around potatoes throws away valuable vitamins "and food qualities needed in the diet, and squeezing the grapefruit dry not oIy saves food but gives- one vitamin C he needs, say the specialists. If no more than a quarter or a third of the 20 to SO percent of the food supply that is now lost between harvest and the garbage pail can be eliminated, the home economists feel that we will have done much towards relieving the food shortage. Limited Amount Of Seed For Sale On the basis of favorable reports by farmers who have, grown the,., new blackshank resistant tobacco, a lim ited supply of seed is available from different growers and perhaps from y Tv M.

BUY WAR BONDS1 ' ' ' Place OrertNow S For 1944 Nitrogen .Peach and apijle growers Should be thinking now of their ""requirements for nitrogen fertilizer in 1944, say Extension . horticulturists at ; State College'. They advise placing orders with fertilizer dealers now for the amount growerS estimate they will I1CCU llvAl J There are only limited supplies of nitrate of soda and cynamide for use, and sulphate of ammonia will not be available at all for fruit growers next season. A considerable quantity of ammonium nitrfte, however, will be released for djrect application to orchard trees, j' With these fertilizer limitations, the horticulturists say it is especially important that every fruit grower use nitrogen fertilisers in the most efficient way. They say, dont waste fertilizer by using only one-half as much as each tree needs. "Efficient use," means applying enough to pro duce good growth, fruit set and yield. ' ! They also advise fruit growers to consider full applications. Experi ments have shown that when nitro gen is applied in the fall, the roots take it up and store it in parts of the tree where it becomes available as the tree grows. Also, the War Production Board has allotted material for 80 percent more power sprays and parts than in 1941 or 1942. But' if growers wait until spring to place their orders for I additional equipment, it may be too, late, so immediately after harvest, the horticulturists say growers should look over their sprayer outfit and WE STILL HAVE Pe anut We can still supply your needs in Peanut Bags.
