Salute To Doctors
i Two well-known residents of
Perquimans County were recogniz
ed) for singular honors at a meet
ing of the State Medical Society
held last week in Asheville.
, Doctors Ivie A. Ward and Wil
liam A.' Hoggard, along with 20
other doctors in North Carolina,
were honored for having practiced
for 50 years in North Carolina.
. This newspaper salutes these two
fine gentlemen for the outstanding
service they have -rendered over
the years and still render to the
peopleTof Perquimans.
Mussolini's Treasure
The late Benito Mussolini, who
used to assume a prominent place
in newspaper headlines in the Unit
ed States and elsewnere, is in the
news 'again. It seems that the
once-proud Dictator was traveling
with a treasure of loot when he
was caught April 28, 1945, near
Dongo, on Lake Como, by Italian
partisans and shot to death. There
after, 3e was hung by his heels,
stoned, spat on and cursed. '' Such
is the fate of unsuccessful dicta-
" iqrs. :
. But the news concerning Musso
lini today is a reported $18,000,000
; cache he was carrying when seiz
ed by Italian Communists. An
' Italian court is seeking to find out.
what happened to it.
' A pretty good guess and. the so
lution accepted by most Italians
id that the Communists stole tlie
money and used it for their owi
purposes. The general suspicion in
- Rome is thaf the Communists usd
much of this money to build their
fancy headquarters building in lie
Italian capital. At any rate, it
will be good to see what the Ital
ian Court can find out about the
funds of the Fascist "Socialist Re
public." Many witnesses are to be called,
including members of Mussolini's
family and members of the family
of his mistress, Clara Petacci, who
was traveling with him when -he
was caught oy ii.e Reds. '
Several states have taken, or are
now taking action to levy rela
tively heavy taxes on places of
business which give - trading
I stamps. In some states it is charg
j ed that the trading stamp business
i is more of a racket than anything
I else, and thus the action taken
against stores who use trading
stamps.
In this Controversy, as in all of
them, a great cry has been raised
by those opposed ito these taxes.
And, it is fair tp report, some state
legislators have refused Jo levy
taxes on places of business using
trading stamps.
The contention of those opposed
to the use of trading stamps is
that the customer pays for the
Rifts he receives, eventually, in one
way or, another, and that there is
no such thing as something for
nothing. Defenders of the system
claim that the trading stamps en
courage people to save and. there
fore, serve a good purpose. They
also say that even if those receiv
ing gifts from accumulated stamps
do nothing else, they get these pro
ducts at a price very close, to cost.
In our opinion, the case for or
against trading stamps depends
upon tlie circumstances which ex-
ist in the various areas. No doubt
there are stamp outfits which are i
not as reliable as others, and which 1
the country would do well to be 1
rid of. On the other hand, there
are reputable trading stamp or-;
gnnizations, and one would hesi-j
tate to eliminate these organiza-l
tions from the business scene. j
Tn the end, however, trading
stamp organizations may have to.
submit to some special taxation. '
It seems that this would be pra- t
ferahle to taxing stores which give
trading stamps. I

Lesson Text: ' " 1
.'V.VGenesta 18:22-33; 19:29. '
Sitting in the door of his tent,
under, the oaks of Mamre, near the
city of Hebron, Abraham saw three
strangers approaching. . In true
Oriental custom, he ran out to
meet, them, bowing before them
and beseeching .them not to pass
on until they had refreshed them
selves by resting and partaking of
food. ' ' 1
When they consented, Abraham
received them hospitably,' had wa
ter brought for their feet and had i
a sumptous feast prepared.for their
enjoyment.- In appreciation of this
hospitality, ADranam was imorm-
ed, by his guests that Sarah, his
wife, should bear him a son. V, .
Overhearing tne remark while fn
the tent, Sarah, knowing that both
Continued from Page 3 Section 2
she and Abraham were beyond the
age when they could expect chil
dren, laughed within herself. Here
the divine character of the visitor
is first revealed, when one of iM
men asked Abraham,. "Wherefore
did Sarah laugh?" It ' is most
probable that Abraham himself, did
not know that she had laughed.
However, the promise was 1 kept
and Sarah did conceive in her old
age. ' v
; When his guests were ready to
depart, Abraham escorted ' theni
perhaps to the village of Ben! Na
vim, three miles east of Hebron,
where, through gaps in the hills,
the Dead Sea could be sein,, and,
in the distance before them; lay
the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah,
within a half mile of each other:
, Until this time, Abraham had
not learned of tne purpose of the
visit of his divine guests. In vers
es 17-19, God is sitoken of as talk
ing t himself , about the wisdom '
of , taking Abraham into his tot$-
donee and. informing hftn .that these
twn citips- Srxlom and Oomorrah i
.were.; to jbe destroyed. tfec1qinr j

told Abraham that, because 'of
their wickedness; Sodom and 'Go
morrah were to be destroyed.'
While Abraham and the three
men were talking, two of them de
Darted and went toward Sodom.
Jehovah remained to talk further
J with Abraham, who was distressed
at learning the fate which was to
: befall the inhabitants of the doom
Jed cities. Knowing full well the
mercy or uoa ana having run con
fidence in his reasonableness and
justice, Abraham began to plead
that the righteous be not destroyed
with the wicked. He .begs God to
save Sodom if fifty righteous ones
are found in the city. God agrees.
Encouraged by this promise' of
God, Abraham boldly makes one re
quest after another, that the ity
be saved for the sake of forty-fiVa
righteous men, then for forty, thir
ty, twenty or ten. Jehovah prem
ises that he ..will not destroy .the
city for the ten's sake, and then de
parts from Abraham. ; The pre
sumption is that there were not
even ten righteous men in the city
of Sodom, for, if there had been,
the city would have been spared. ,
Through these pleas of Abraham,
two things are clearly shown.
First, the nature of God He is a
God of. mercy aj well as of justice.
He would rather pardon than pun
