State Chairman Asks Cooperation; Quota Is Double Last Year .The annual March of Dimes cam paign got off to a start here this week, according to Silas M. Whedbee, campaign chairman, who reminded the public that Perquimans County is being asked to raise the sum of $2,200 as its portion of the State quota for 1949. He urged that re sidents of the county contribute lib erally when contacted by the solici tors making a house to house canvass. A large number of individuals are donating of their time for this very worthy cause during this, week and will make every effort to contact every resident of Perquimans to give each person an opportunity to help support the movement which is now doing such a splendid job in com batting infantile paralysis. This year's quota, which is double that of last year, is needed to help replenish the national foundation fund because of the large amount of money and supplies sent into North Caro lina last summer during the polio epidemic. Dr. Ralph McDonald, State chair man for the March of Dimes, has is sued an appeal to the people of North Carolina to give full coopera tion to the campaign in order that this State may return somewhat the assistance rendered the State last summer. Reports on the progress of the drive locally were unavailable at the time The Weekly went to press, but all solicitors have been requested to make reports of contributions to Mr. Whedbee by Saturday, January 29. The local campaign will come to a close on that day and the VFW Club is sponsoring a dance at the Harvey Point Officers' Club as the climax to the annual drive. One party, the proceeds of which will be donated to the March of Dimes, will be held next Thursday, February 3, by the Hert ford Lioness Club. This bingo party is being scheduled a week later in order not to conflict with a program conducted this Thursday by the Hert ford Rotary Club. On last Monday night the BPW Club sponsored a bridge and rook party, which was highly successful and ywaods from this party were turned over to the March of Dimes chairman.

High School PTA Endorses Program The Parent-Teacher Association of the Perquimans High School went on record at its meeting last Thursday night endorsing the school program as outlined by the State Educational Commission and has urged Represen tative E. Leigh Winslow and State Senators J. Emmett Winslow and W. I. Halstead to give wholehearted sup port to the Commission's program presented to the Legislature by vari ous bills. In a letter written to the local members of the General Assembly' the PTA stated: "The program of the Commission, we believe, presents a real forward step in education in North Carolina, and will give, if en acted into law, an equal opportunity to the children of all sections which they so richly deserve. "The program is especially bene ficial to this section of the State as it recognizes the fact that certain sections, or county units, because of their size and financial insecurity, are unable to bear the cost of equal edu cational facilities for its youth and takes the position that this is a State obligation which must be borne by all the citizens of all sections accord ing to their real worth so that the opportunities of our children may be equalized. This position we believe is sound and based on democratic ideals." The Rev. C. W. Duling, president of the High School PTA, and Mrs. Henry Stokes, secretary, forwarded the appeal to the local law makers by authority of the association action taken last week.
