Thanksgiving, 1947
Blessed with the greatest material
wealth ever bestowed upon the people
of a single nation, probably in the
history of the entire world, the people
of the United States, even in these
unsettled times, have much for which
to be thankful.
Not only in material things is this
nation blessed. It possesses a won
derful atmosphere of individual lib
erty, with a government designed to
facilitate the utmost development and
for our government, we should be
thankful.
On Thanksgiving Day, reverent
Americans look with faith to God,
giving testimony to their belief in a
Supreme Being interested in the wel
fare of men. It should be a religious
day, with deep emotion, but, too of
ten, it is disregarded for lesser in
terests as individuals seek to escape
from everyday trials. Unfortunately,
the churches of the land sometimes
take the lead in disregarding Thanks
giving Day as a religious occasion
and, for the convenience of the uncon
cerned, provide no service for those
who would give public expression of
their gratitude to God for His bless
ings in their lives.
Let every citizen of Perquimans
County make this Thanksgiving Day
one of grateful appreciation to the
Divine Providence who has showered
His blessings so bountifully upon all
of us.
Bible Reading Program
The first printed edition of the
Bible was the work of Johann Guten
berg of Mainz, Germany. It appear
ed about the middle of the fifteenth
century and since that time the Bible
has been translated in part, at least,
into 1,080 different languages.
The American Bible Society is
sponsoring a Bible-reading program,
beginning on Thanksgiving Day and
continuing until Christmas. Sunday,
December 14th, has been designated
"Universal Bible Sunday." The idea
is to emphasize the universal appeal
of the sixty-six books in the Bible
and it is hoped that many millions of
people will follow the suggested daily
Bible reading.
Without calling attention to any
particular verse or chapter, we note
that the Bible Society suggests that
the Bible be read quietly and slowly,
'alertly and thoughtfully and that
passages which "strike fire" should
be underlined, copied and repeated.
This is good advice and we trust that
it will persuade some of our readers,
at least, to read the Bible and get its
message for themselves.
Wild Rabbits
Dangerous
Rabbit-hunters in many states are
being warned by health officers to be
careful in handling wild .rabbits
which may be diseased and cause tul
aremia, or rabbit fever.
We cannot be certain as to the
health of the rabbits in Perquimans
County and, therefore, we pass' the
warning along. Frisky rabbits are
usually healthy but a tired and lazy
animal, which lacks the energy to
run, is likely to be sick.
If there is reason to believe that
rabbits are diseased, rubber . gloves
should be worn when handling the
animal and preparing the meat . Care
should be taken not to touch the face,
mouth and eyes, or any place where
the skin has been broken. - After
wards, say the experts, contaminated
papers should be burned, rubber
gloves sterilized and hands washed
thoroughly in soap and "hot water.
We give the information for the
benefit of those who may be inclined
to follow it. Our own suggestion, if
there is ny suspicion that the rab
bit has tularemia, is p give up the
food and bury the game.

The North Carolina Wildlife Re-
Thanksgiving week will be a busy
time for North Carolina hunters. By
the time Tar Heels are starting to
move drowsily away from the tradi- sources Commission will meet in Ra

The week also brings the second
open period of the split season for
squirrels in 31 counties.
First arrival of the week, on Mon
day, November 24, was the wild tur
key season in the Roanoke River
area Bertie, Halifax, Martin, North
ampton and Washington counties. In
this section the season runs through
January 15. In the 16 other counties
which have a turkey season, the
opening comes on Thanksgiving Day,
and the close on January 1 in 11 of
the counties and on January 15 in the
others. i
Thanksgiving Day also brings in
the other seasons. The quail and
rabbit seasons throughout the State(
will extend through January 31.
Twenty-seven eastern counties will
observe lay days on these species,
with hunting permitted only on Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturdays. In a
number of these counties, incidentally,
lay days will go into effect on other
species for which six-day-a-weefc
hunting was permitted during the
earlier part of the season.
Hunters are advised to check the
regulations carefully to avoid viola
tions. Copies of the regulations may
be obtained from fish and game pro
tectors, or from the Wildlife Re
sources Commission at Raleigh.

) BEAUTY-PART ?TWO
,. Do not forget that this foundation
of all beauty is a healthy body, and a
happy; contented mind.
You ' cannot possess beautiful
face, if it Is covered by an ugly skin.
wouang is more attractive than a
fresh, cleat complexion free from im-
perfect ons each as blackheads, large
pores, pimples, brown splotches and
other disfigurements. "The care of
the health determines to a large ex
tent the kind of skin fhai'will cover
yon body. ' i-' . ' ;
Creams and .lotions help to preserve
Uoo4 skin, eiJ a' i to i .rove a
fine, but no external cere ca take
place of proper diet and correct
health habits. No amount of make
up can disguise ill neaitn or a poor
complexion. You, must have the cor
rect foundation. Upon which to build
real beauty. .;. , ; '
To understand 'to care of the skin
you should .know that it Consists of
tores -layers.' On the outside is the
epidermis, just beneath i$ the dermis,
and ' underneath that ' the i connective
tissue, .which Mies .Just over the
muscles. v; 'f, : w r ." .
The pores are little tubes that lie
coiled in the true skin, and run up to
the surface, where they pour out im
purities' and perspiration, which help
to keep you well and make you. cool
In summer."':' There 'are also, oil
glands in the skin, which lubricate the
c -re. .
Clothing should be loose and por
ous in order to facilitate evapora
tion. - There is a record in history of
S child whose body was gilded in or
der to participate In some festivities.
He died, smothered, in his own poi
sons, as a result of this folly. ., '
Vhen people die of burns, it is not
often due to the injury itself, -but to
the fact that too. much skin has been
destroyed to enable the body to function-
normally. The 'remaining skin
cannot meet the needs of the system.
, So yon see that the activities of
the skin are very great, and that its
proper functioning Is not only ne
cessary to beauty, but essential to
health or even life itself ..- :'
