He recognizes that it will be SELIG'S necessary to strain our soil resources to meet the need for food by the hungry populations of other 'conti , 5 nents. We have no doubt of the ability of American farmers to produce abund antly and to meet domestic and for eign needs. In 1948, the war-inspired Vj4 guarantees are in effect and the farm ers can produce without accepting the risk of heavy losses through over- m-oduction. After 1948. unless Con Nonl Caroling vv I5i ASSOCIATION 5J gress takes some action, it will be different. .

Words and cold printer's ink are not sufficient to Bing the praises and ' commendations of a few ladies of this ' community who last week decided that it was time to halt a volley of words and to act if a fellow townsman was to be shown that the people of this community appreciated services rendered in organizing and training ! our children into a musical unit. Sparked by an idea conceived by Mrs. Kelly White, this small group of i ladies went to work on a "pounding" party for the bandmaster, Bert Ain- ; worth. The movement caught quickly and the citizens of the town and county responded warm-heartedly, and contributions of money and other use- ' ful items soon piled up. The ladies met for the first time la it Tuesday night and after having decided on a plan for action, immediately they be gan a canvass of their streets and ;.. neighborhoods. ij That the results were gratifying goes without saying and credit, too, should be given to the citizens of the community for the quick response to the appeal for aid. We believe this ; response shows beyond doubt that the ' people of the county desire tnat ine Perquimans Band and its leader be ; retained and continued. The climax of the efforts put forth ' by the ladies was reached last Satur day afternoon, when Mr. Ainsworth, ', who was leading the band in a mu sical presentation on the arrival of Santa Claus, was presented a check in the amount of $531 and a truck load of useful personal and household articles. Without a whole lot of hoola and ' with no thought for self glory, this small group of ladies made it possible ,for a jolly little man and his wife to i Wk forward to a most joyous Christ- mas season. f We say, "Well done, ladies."

C Gas And Oil Short It begins to look like automobilists and fuel-oil users will again go through the experience of rationing and it might remind us of the days during the war when there was a strict allotment' of gasoline and fuel oil. The larger companies, we under stand, are allocating scarce gasoline to dealers now and other companies will probably have to follow suit. There may be some relief, because driving has fallen off slightly since summer, but experts say that the de mand is about ten per cent higher than last year. 1 i Buy Christinas Seals The continued sale of Christmas Seals means the waging of incessant , warfare against the terrible scourge I !;' of tuberculosis. iv.'.
