A Secondary Road
From all appearances, Sandy Gra
ham's State Highway Commission is
making- an excellent attempt to con
vert U. 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

A Challenge
Next Monday morning a group of
your neighbors and ours will begin
a task that in all probabilities they
dislike as much as you would. 1
That task is calling at your homei
Reeking your contribution to the
United War Fund. 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.

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.
