Thousands of persons were
mide horoeleii by the ulnds and
waves thit smashed houeee to
splinters . w hen Hurrteene
Camilla battered the Outt Cout
from Louisiana to Florida,
Many of the families for whom
the night of August IT wae one of
horror lack the reaouroes to
return to normal living unaided,
They have lost everything through
calamity of nature which they
were powerless to prevent or
sidestep. They muat be helped In
the rebuilding of their shattered
Uvea and homes.
The American Red Cross is
the natural agent for this re
building, by virtue of both Its
experience and Its readiness to
help. The Red Cross Is asking
the American people for a mini
mum of 115,000,000 to provide
this assistance.
The people of this community
have always heeded generously
humanitarian appeals like this.
Let us again open our hearts
and our pocketbooks and make
sure that the Red Cross receives
the necessary funds to help our
distressed neighbors on the Gulf
Coast, Send or take your
contribution to your NEAREST
Red Cross chapter.
Letter To Editor
A Lonely
County?
An opinion" from the Hertford
Jaycees y -
We, of the Hertford Jaycees
read with great Interest an arti
cle which appeared on the front
page of the last issue of the Per
lulmans Weekly entitled "Per
quimans - Land of BeautlfulWat
era", and we certainly agree that
there Is no place more bountifully
endowed than our own Perqui
mans County, As Interested citl
aens, and, In many casea, life
long residents of Perquimans
County, we are very proud of the
great natural beauty of our Cod
given gifts, and would like very
mueh to see them preserved for
our sons and our son's sons
but, not to the exclusion of all
other facets of a balanced and
healthy economy, A county that
emphasleea only one aegment of
a well rounded economy will be
Just is unhealthy as a child who
emphasises only his mental de
velopment and neglects his phy
sical development.
Agriculture la very Important
to many of ua, Just as It is very
Important to Perquimans County.
Yet, we do not think that agricul
ture should receive emphasis to
tkm avnliialnn nf natural ra-
sources, tourls'm, retail trade,
schools, housing developments.
. and even that eulprtt to whloh last
I week' article so violently ob
' Jects Industry, V the people of
' Perquimans County are to live
!' and prosper, all of theae things
I must t developed,
i Perquimans County Is, at this
moment, losing Us most valuable
resource at an alarming ratal
This natural resource Is none
other than Its young people, They
are leaving this county, not be
cause they wish to, but because it
is an economic necessity that they
do so. It is very hard tor a young
man to fully appreciate the vast
beauty of towerlngCypress trees,
rippling water a, and rising morn
ing mists, when his mind is oc
cupied by the thought that his In
come Is not sufficient to support
his young family in a manner that
they both need and deserve. To
this young man, at this particular
time, a good job is of utmost Im
portance, and to many such young
men, a good job Is an impossibi
lity unless all facets of economic
development are stressed imme
diately - even Industryl
Industry in today's vast new
technological era la not allowed
to pollute the watera as they once
were. There are atate laws to
prohibit It, and sclentlflo meth
ods to prevent it. The gaa burn
in In nur nam autnmoHlaa and
jtrucka will do more to pollute
.the air in one day, than will the
small Industries, such as we are
attempting to attract to Perqui
mans County, In a week. Yet, we
continue to sell gasollnel The
"sweatboxee", unsanitary work
ing conditions, and dumping of
raw pollutants simply does not
exist In today's modern Indus
try, because they cannot compete
for modern, essential labor us
ing these methods. Today's mod
ern industry is both a good neigh
bor and a valuable cltlcen. This
fact has been proven In several
Eastern North Carolina towns in
the past few years. Take a good
look at our neighbor, Edenton. V
it is so greatly polluted, It cer
tainly has a healthy look!
We certainly agree with last
week's article that through county
coning and careful planning, much
of the natural beauty can be pre
served and put to Its most effi
cient use. However, unless we
emphasise the economic develop
ment of this county.ln all its var
ious aspects, the coming years In
Perquimans County will be lonely
- very lonely, Bobby Heath
Pres, Jaycees
Veteran's
Administration
The Veterans Administration
today explained the recent in
crease In the base pay of mem
bers of the Armed Forces brought
an increase in dependency and
indemnity compensation (D1C)
payments only to the 160,000 un
remarried widows on the DIC
rolls.
Dependent parents and child
ren receiving DIC monthly pay
ments from the VA did not rece
ive an automatic Increase in their
payment as a result of the mili
tary pay raise.
Payments for these parents
and children are fixed by the Con
gress, W, R, Phillips, Manager
of the Winston-8alem VA Region
al Office, explained.
Benefits tor unremarried wid
ows relate to military pay scales,
with the formula for determining
the amount of monthly payments
calling for $120 a month, plus Is
per cent of the monthly basic
pay now being received by a ser
viceman whose rank and years
of service are the same as those
of the deceased veteran.
Thus a ralae In military basic
pay, such u that which went Into
effect on July 1, automatically
Increases DIC payments to ell
gible widows, Phillips said.

All around the) world They marvel at American Industry.
Factory chimneys send graat clouds of smoko skyward
as we produce mora and still mora. Thoro sotms to bo no

the vast mystery of space.
In spite of all wo do, thoro Is still so much that wo
cannot do. For all our power, wo aro still frail and vulner
able. God has glvon us many capabilities, but wo woro
never meant to "go It" entirely alono. To think that wo

is brashnoss.
Thoro aro moments when wo all nood to look Intoi
a apodal kind of mirror, by which wo may ro-oxamlno our

GOD GRANTS ISRAEL A XING
International Sunday School Lesson for September 7, 1M9.
MEMORY SELECTION "Only fear the Lord, and serve
Him In truth with all your heart) for consider how great
things He hstt done for you." 0 Samuel 114).
LESSON TEXTi I Samuel e-llj 1S46 18iH2j S8 llil.T,
GOD IS OMNIPOTENT I That is the text of the lesson we
study today. Ho created the Heavens and the earth, and all
that in them dwells. But Man Ho created la His own Image,
and, of all the animals, man is tho only on with reasoning
power and freedom of choice. He has the freedom to choose
his own tenets, Ms own standards of morals, hlsownab
leglanoesj but God controls ths consequences of mankind's
choices. i ..
We may consider ourselves mors advanced than the na
tions of Biblical times, but nevertheless ws exper.
lenoe the same need for spiritual leader ablp thai, for In
stance, Israel did. God, as then, is ever ready to provide 1
Divine leadership to those who truly orave it.
But, in Btblloal times, Israel was Ood'a chosen raoci
He was her King. Prom time to time she had a stated
leader, otlled a judgej but ho wu a leader by God's appoint,
ment, whose purpose was to bring the people back to
obodlonee to God's commands,
' The time came, however, when Israel demanded a king
such as other nations had, and the era of this Lesson Is
concerned with ths granting of this wish.
Samuel was such an one, marked by God to take bis place 1
In the destiny of hlswn people, Hannah, Samuel's mother,
was a devout womani Samuel was dedicated to God's set
vice at an early age, He proved himself worthy of God's
choice to be a leader of His people. In that, Hannah fared
better than did her beloved samuelj for Samuel's sons proved
to be totally unworthy of their devout parentage. They grew
to manhood physically, but never spiritually) they became
notorious for their immoral behaviour and they left
their matkuponthehlrtoryoflsradandof Christianity more
by default than by accomplishment. For their unworthlnese,
on top of the unworthlnese of the sons of that other great
leader of Israel, EU, caused the people to become restless,
and to have the security of an earthly king, as did other lead,
ers. They quite lost sight of the fact that they were not la
tended to be aa other nations they had been chosen as
God's own natlonl v : - ,
so, in due oourie. Samuel appointed Saul as Israel's
king, following God's Instruotlons. Saul, however, although
he started out brilliantly, soon fell heir to the fallings of
: humanity, His son, Johnathan, had a dearly loved friend la
the young David, Young, upright and virtuous, David soon
claimed the affection of the people. They sang Saul's praises
but they sang David's even louaderl Jealousy oorrodedthe,
soul of saul, and it was not longbefore he found dlapisasure
in Ood's eyes. -i':.
saul was certainly responsible for the mas he became
in the later years of his life. What he eame out of Us
personal choice, A giant became a pygmy but another
giant rose up to take his plaoe. How sad that David did not
learn hla lesson from those who had sons before html
how sad, that ws,' today, dismiss ths lessons that history -teaches

service to God and to mankind.
