iRQUIMAN w: Volume XXV No. 48 Hertford, Perquimans County, North Carolina, December 28th, 1968 10 Cents Per Copy P 7K II V Christmas Cantata At Center mil "THE HEAVENS DECLARE" $ Christmas Cantata was pre- 55 ' sented by the Combined Choirs g or the tenter mil Baptist Church on Sunday December 22, at seven o'clock p.m. ii The Cantata' was written by Tloyd Hawkins, and began in the pre-chrlstlan era when gloom filled the Hebrew People and all Isreal. This time was dramatically portrayed in the Cantata by a Baritone Solo by Dennis Splvey entitled, "THE NIGHT WAS DARK IN ISREAL", From the gloom the scene moved to a period of reflective hope as a faint memory of an an ' elent prophecy was told by a solo by Dotmegan Rodgerson, and quintet, Dotmegan Rodgerson; Vickie Goodwin; Viola Goodwin; Janice Hobbs; Annie Bell Byrum In the song: "THE HEAVENS DECLARE", From a memory of the pro phecy the Cantata rlsed In hope to the Nativity Event in the stable, with a solo by Tim White. "THERE WAS LIGHTIN THE STABLE". With the Nativity Event still r in mind the music moved to how the universal influence of what had taken place witn a quintet composed of, Dotmegan Hodgerson; vicKieuooawin; vi ola Goodwin, Janice Hobbs, and Annie Bell Byrum, singing "LIFT THINE EYES UNTO THJ HEAVENS", After showing the universal effects of the Christmas Story the presentation centered around the shepherds in the -field with a solo by Jane Bunch, '"FEAR NOT, YE FAITHFUL SHEPHERDS". After the song of encourage , ; mem; . to,, the shepherds.; The ;:. jCaroI of th Shepherds, "THK SILENT NIGHT", was present ed by Richard Bunch, and a mens chorus. , From the shepherds song the Cantata rlsed in cresendo to a song of praise and victory with the song, "SINCE JESUS CAME" by the womens chorus. To bring the Cantata to a end a song of glorlus hope and joy , entitled, "TIS MORNING", by the combined choirs. The Cantata was directed by Jane Bunch Music Director of church, and accompanied by Jakle Boyce church pianlst-or- ganist. ; The Rev.

H. Oakley, Jr., strayed from his master early this month .while out hunting. An ad was solaced i in The Perquimans Weekly, and was seen on Thurs day morning by a subscriber, Mrs. 'Janle Proctor, who is employed at Peoples Bank & Trust Co. Having seen a dog . of the description, Mrs. Proctor called Mr. Oakey and told him that a dog bearing this dlscrip tion had taken up at the home of ,Mr. and Mrs. Claude Long. ' ' : Mr. Oakey. who had searched day and night for the dog, when am oian i rem m mm mm out hunting one afternoon near Wynnfork, continued his search, Even left his car at the spot all night where he had gotten out to hunt with "Happy". All this was to no avail, even deep walks thru the woods and a continuing petroling of the area in which he and the dog had starred to hunt when the dls s "eared brought no clue of ."Ha-pi" whereabouts. An ad was placed in The - Perquimans Weekly and as soon as the pper had been delivered, -"Kerry" was found. Needless to -, ,'iay, "Ecruy" was Happy, the Oakeyi are happy, I'm sure , Mrs. Proctor Is happy that she f was a help, and also the Claude Longs, wiw had given"Happy" ; lr rnnt treatment.

Mathews, Dr. Donald McCollum, formerly of Hertford, and Dr. Mike O'Nell, at the Duke Medical University Medical Center in Durham, N.C, received the original re search award of the Southern Medical Association in New Or leans, La., in November. The Southern Medical Asso ciation Is made, up of sixteen Southern States and is the sec ond largest medical specialty organization In the United States and of America. - The award., consisted of-medaT and a cash ' prize of $500.00, in recognition of their original research on aseptic necrosis of the femoral head. Dr. Donald McCommum, Dr. Robert S. Mathews and Dr. Mike O'Nell began their invest igation at Duke University where all three began their orthopaedic residencies. Asep tic necrosis Is a hip disease In the hip Joint; becomes pain ful and difficult as a part of the bone separates and is replaced by fibrous tissue. This fibrous tissue erodes the "ball that fits Into the hip socket" of the hip Joint. They Investigated 155 patients. Aseptic necrosis was found In four groups of patients; 62 following trauma, 68 idio pathic, 18 with sickle cell di sease, and 7 with miscellaneous diseases. They learned that alcoholism was a possible un derlying cause of hip-bone ne crosis, as well as gout and pointed out the role of toxic synovitis in this disease. Th6 importance of these findings lies in the development of new surgical techniques and medical treatment for patients with as ptic necrosis of the femoral head. i Dr. Mathews Is currently in Greenville, S.C. doing a year of crippled childrens surgery and Is the son of Mrs. Fred Mathews of Hertford and the late Mr. Mathews, and is mar ried to the former Barbara Sawyer of Elizabeth City, family for the hospitality that "Happy" enjoyed while at their home. No doubt "Happy" would have been located sooner, since she wasn't picked up by strangers who might have carried her across the border, had she not hnem waarinff taar nn her collar . with the name ay Holland, Queehe, Vermont, her former owner. At any rate "Happy" is home for Christmas, and the editor of The Perquimans Weekly, Vir ginia White Transeau, Is equally as HAPPY aitheOakey'sandall who helped out In the dog's experience in a strange country. She has only been here a short while and does not know the county. (We bet If Happy could read she'd clip this for her crapbook). Many people love dogs, then their are some that do not, the article on Mr. Oakey losing "Happy" and hit devotion to all the dogs he has ever owned, reminds me of Senator Vest's i" Tribute to a Dog". Senator Vest, of Missouri, was attending a court in a country town, and while waiting for the trial of a case in which he was interested, he was urged by the attorneys in a dog case to help them. Much time had been taken up with evi dence to show that the defendant "had deliberately shot the dog, ""Tyl 1 1 Oil Assn. Head Criticizes Tax The President of the North Carolina Oil Jobbers Associa tion has termed the recently proposed 3C per gallon gas oline tax increase as "entirely unrealistic". James B. Garri son of Albemarle, N.C, in a prepared statement released over the weekend, stated that such increase woud"mean that the carownerwouldpay 14-l4(! tax on each gallon of gasoline ...equivalent to a sales tax of 58 on the product. Garrison, speaking In behalf of the 750 member trade group stressed "no group is more vitally concerned with the con tinuing development of good highways than is the North Car olina Oil Jobbers Association; however, the report of the Gov ernor's Highway Study Comm ission raises many questions that should be answered. ..The entire report needs to be stud ied in detail by all citizens." The . organization which Garrison heads is a statewide association of oil wholesalers, with headquarters In Raleigh. Garrison, who is also mayor of Albemarle, commented further "the recommended three cents per gallon Increase in the gas oline tax would result In a 43 increase in the North Carolina tax... We think that it should be understood that this new tax rate v-juld be paid primarily by the one car families, farmers and the working public." In conclusion Garrison men tioned that "some analogies in the report were made to the cost of air conditioning and other luxuries in autos. Un fortunately, those people who can afford such luxuries will not pay the bulk of this added burden, but it "will be paid by those who can least afford it. For these reasons we feel that the recommended three cents per gallon motor fuel tax in crease is entirely unrealistic." No group is more vitally concerned with the continuing development of good highways than is the North Carolina Oil Jobbers Association; however, the report of the Governor's Highway Study Commission raises many questions that should be answered. It reveals the need for continuing a mod ern up-graded highwayandpub lic road system in North Car olina. The entire report needs to be studied in detail by all citizens. Some of the pro jections should be explained more fully, and the recommen dations for financing must be analyzed thoroughly and ex plained to the taxpaying public. The recommended three cents per gallon increase in the gasoline tax would result In a 43 increase in the North Car olina tax, and the proposed new rate would be the highest in the nation. It would mean that the car owner would pay 14-l4! tax on each gallon of gasoline. This is equivalent to a sales tax of 58 on the product. This would undoubt ably run the total cost of gas oline over 400 in many instances. We think that it should be understood that this tax will be paid primarily by the one car families, farmers, and the working public. Some anal ogies erer made in the report to the cost of air conditioning and other luxuries in autos. Unfortunately, those people who can afford such luxuries will not pay the bulk of this added burden, but It will be paid by those who can least afford it. For these reasons we feel that the recommended three t cent per gallon increase is entirely unrealistic. while the other evidence claimed that the dog had attacked the de fendant. Senator Vest took no part in the trial, and was not prepared to speak. The attor neys, however, urged him to make a speech. He arose, looked at each juryman for a moment, and said.; "Gentlemen of the Jury: The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy; His son or daughter that he has reared with love and care may prove ungrateful. Those who are near est and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith. .

C. - The publication of final regulations under the new Federal gun law was announced today by the In ternal Revenue Service. They will appear in the Federal Register of Dec. 14, 1968. The new gun law does not prevent sportsmen from buying firearms and ammunition in the states in which they reside. However, the sale and delivery must conform with state and applicable local laws. In addi tion, a retail purchase will usually have to be made In per son and the buyer will have to show sufficient identification, such as a driver's license, to establish his name, address and age,. The major restriction on sales in the new law forbids resi dents of one state from buying firearms, but not ammunition in another state. One important ex ception to this rule permits a resident of one state to buy a rifle or shotgun, but not a hand gun, in an adacent state If cer tain procedures are compiled with. The purchase can only be made if the buyer's state of residence enacts legislation that permits it to take place and the sale is legal In both states. A sworn statement in a prescribed form must also be forwarded to the chief law enforcement officer in the purchaser's place of residence and be acknow ledged by him. Licensed collectors, who are limited by the gun control act to transactions in curios and relics, will find In the regula tions the tests for determining ni-j... t. January 2nd to the public until January 2nd, 1969. The new reflectorlzed green and white plates will go on sale throughout the State on January 2. The 1968 plates expire December 31st. whether a gun falls into this category. The regulations also point out that clubs furnishing ammuni tion to be used on their premises In skeet, trap and target shoot ing activities may do so with out a dealers license. The am munition may also be furnished to participants under 18, though the new law prohibits sales of guns and ammunition to anyone below that age, such transfer not being considered a sale. Included in the regulations are details on the preparation of the records to be completed by a dealer for each firearms transaction. To further aid deal ers In complying with the new law, illustrations of required firearms and ammunition ac quisition and disposition rec ords are shown. The regulations Implement those sections of the recently enacted Gun Control Act of 1988, that go Into effect December 10, to provide firearms and am munition control assistance to Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies in their fight against crime. They also cover part of the earlier en acted omnibus crime control and safe streets act of 1868 dealing with the unlawful pos session or receipt of firearms by persons such as criminals and fugitives from justice.
