of the Hertford Methodist
Church, has announced that
the local Methodist Church
will join in the World-wide
Communion Sunday, Octob

truth . of the 1965 theme,
"We Have a Fellowship."
The Methodist Church joins
in this observance, sensing
in - itself a unique fellow
ship. Traditionally the Com
munion service has presented
the opportunity of helping
others. Through the Fellow
ship of Suffering and Ser
vice, Methodists are able to
put their faith into action.
Emergency help is provided
for those who are innocent
victims cf disaster. Through
the Methodist Committee for
Overseas ,. Relief r and com
panion agencies, immediate
help is provided for those
needing food, clothing, medi
cine and even temporary
shelter. One-half of the
Fellowship of Suffering and
Service offering goes to help
MCOR accomplish these
things.
The sons and daughters of
Methodists who are in a
branch of the armed ser
vices are not forgotten. Fel
lowship is extended to them
through the chaplains and

Comments Made
On Tax Issue
What is the industrial de
velopment tax and how will
it be used? If the residents
of Perquimans County vote
favorably on this issue on
November 2, 1965, it will
give the county commission
ers the power to levy a tax
not to exceed 5 cents per
one hundred dollar valuation
-money received- from this 'taX'
would be used to encourage
the location of new industry
in our county. This would
be done in . the following
maner: The county commis
sioners would set up a board
or. commission known as an
Economic Development Com
missin. This group would be
directly responsible to the
board of county commission
ers. The economic ; group
could, if sufficient funds
were available, hire a train
ed professional in the area of
economic development to
work for our county.

Deadline Nears
For Calendar
Welly White, chairman of
the Hertford Jaycees' annual
community birthday calendar
project this year, stated to
day that the deadline for the
sale of the calendars is Fri
day, October 15.
Mr. White urges all who
have not yet purchased their
calendar to contact any of
the Jaycee members, as it's
the club's desire to get every
one in on this drive.
Proceeds from the sale of
the birthday calendars, as
usual, will be used for the
underprivileged children of
this area for clothing and
toys to be distributed at the
Jaycees' annual Christmas
party held for needy ones.
The calendars have proven
very popular over the years
that the Jaycees have been
selling them. They are con
sulted for everyday use, and
with the birthdays of friends
and acquaintances 1 i s t e d
thereon, more people are re
membered on their birthdays
and certainly " it has saved
what could have been an
embarrassing moment for
many with short memories.

Cancer Crusade
Is Underway
As an important phase of
its 1965 educational and fund
raising Crusade against Can
cer, the American Cancer
Society is distributing a life
saving leaflet.
"We hope the leaflet, en
titled "Answers to Questions
About Cancer Which Concern
You', will reach every home
in Perquimans County," Mr.
Harmon said. "If read and
acted upon, we could save
half of those who develop
.cancer - instead of on out of
three as we are today." !
The leaflet poses four ques
tions and then answers them.
Are we getting anywhere
against' cancer?
Yes, gains in diagnosis and
treatment have made it possi
ble for over a million Amer
icans to be alive today, cured
of cancer. Physicians could
cure about half of all can
cer patients, if people came
for examination in time. With
present medical knowledge,
uterine cancer could be prac
tically eliminated. Many peo
ple could be cured of can
cer of the colon and rectum
and other major cancer kill
ers. Noteworthy progress is
being made in research sup
port by the government and
the American Cancer Socie
