S. Highway 17, through Per quimans County, from a good first class highway into a secondary road. During the past three weeks, employ ees of the State Highway Commission have been working on the road, spreading rock as a base for a surface-treated roadway on top of the cement highway constructed by Per quimans County some 25 years ago. No one seems to know why, or understand why, this highway is un dergoing its present working over, and no one seems to know why in heaven's name the Highway Commis sion authorized the work which, to local motorists, deteriorates the road instead of improving it This newspaper in the past has cal led upon the State Highway Commis sion to improve the road, as was done in other counties in Eastern North Carolina, by widening the highway and fixing the serious joint in the middle of the roadway, which was a road hazard. In our opinion, we should have preffered that the high way remain as it was, a concrete road in fairly good condition, rather than to have a surface treated high way, the staying power of which is yet uncertain, as the main road t.'irough our county. up production, as laborers seek to en force their demands upon the com panies for which they work. The same industrialists, when they speak about government action that is often taken to restrict their activi ties in the public interest, speak about regimentation, dictatorship and com munism. Obviously, the Government of the United States was organized in the public interest. It must meet successive- problems as they arise and curb abuses that develop, whetner inrougn activity of capitalists, laborers or in dividuals. Usually, the Government is denounced by one side or the other in nnv diRDute in which the Govern ment takes effective action in behalf of the people generally. If it is against labor, it is "capitalistic," and if it acts against industry, it is "com munistic." It should be obvious to every Am erican that it is the business of gov ernment to apply a "rule or reason CHAPANOKK NEWS Mr. and Mrs. L. B.

These solicitor- j friends of yours know that the war1 is over and that everybody believes the time has come to cut down on ex penditures. But they also know and realize that some eight or nine mil-1 lion soldiers, several hundred of whom are from Perquimans County, remain in the armed forces, sweating out the time they must serve before coming back home. They know that these boys need and want recreation centers and camp shows, as provided them by the USO. These solicitors know and realize that the 13 United States relief agencies which are helping people in war devastated Al lied nations still need funds to carry out their work in these countries. That is why these friends of yours and ours are volunteering their time and gas and tires to call on you for your contribution. This final War Fund campaign is a real challenge to the people of this community because during the past three years Perquimans has not fail ed to answer successfully every ap peal made in behalf of humanity. Certainly we can not and will not fail this time. When your friend calls on you for a contribution for the War Fund . . . give as generous ly as you possibly can.

C. 1 We Are Pleased To Announce Time For Precaution The people of the United States are plagued with many special weeks, proclaimed by various officials for one cause or another. Among the few that deserve real consideration is Fire Prevention Week, designated to em phasize the importance of action to reduce' the loss of life and property resulting each year from fires. Last year, it is estimated, ten thousand lives were lost as the re sult of fire, most of them because of carelessness in regard to rubbish, handling matches, inflammable liquids and other stuff. The money loss aver ages about $440,000,000 a yea, which is more property than was destroyed during the first two years of the Ger man aerial attack upon England. There is little use in quoting fig ures unless they lead intelligent indi viduals to take specific action. We hope that this article will persuade readers to do something about the hazards of fire and that they make it today's business to put into - effect precautionary measures designed to prevent fire.
