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

guarantees are in effect and the farm
ers can produce without accepting the

Well Done, Ladies!
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."

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
