Notice To Subscribers
New stencils with correct expiration date of each sub
scriber to The Perquimans Weekly went into effect several
weeks ago. A notice appeared informing each subscriber to
check their expiration dates at the end of name to see if the
subscription should be renewed, or If correct time had been
added by the circulation department in renewals. All this has
been done conforming with postal laws and regulations and
with the best ethics of the newspaper profession, and sound
business judgment,
. In the past two weeks cards have been mailed with ex
piration dates and amount due each subscripts a Something
very important is being overlooked by some renewing their
subscriptions-leaving off the "sales tax" which is a must,
This has to be paid to the paper and inturn the paper has to
send it to the N.C. Department of Revenue. When the tax is
omitted if your subscription date shows up a little short, it's
to makeup for the tax that was not Included in the amount
you paid for your subscriptions,
I'tmost care has been used in checking stencils and ex
piration dates, however some errors are bound to be made.
Should this happen, notify the paper and your account will be
checked and credited if the mistake is ours.

COUNTRYSIDE
MOVEMENT J
by Q, B.Ounlogton Q
Industry's growing Infatua
tion with country towns and
small cities of America may
develop Into one of the na
tion's most promising roman
ces. This compatabillty is not Idle
conjecture. It Is well-documented
by extensive studies
sponsored by the Countryside
Development Foundation of
Racine, Wisconsin, that cover
ed a large number of com
munities in many states. These
studies have revealed many in
teresting reasons and mutual
advantages.
Small towns and cities And
that they quickly reap the ben
efits of new industry. Money,
for one thing, seems to work
proportionately harder in
smaller cities. It turns over
more often and touches a lar
ger percentage of the people,
and the whole community re
sponds. Needed public im
provements are initiated, new
businesses are encouraged, and
new homes are built. Individ
ual initiative and skills are
given a better chance to devel
op. Farmers and their families
gain by better local markets
and other opportunities.
On the other side of the
coin, industry, too, has dis
covered many advantages to
sites in country towns or small
cities. Land is less expensive
md more plentiful. Local gov
ernments are friendlier. Ab
senteeism is lower, and pro
ductivity is higher. Workers
tend to have a closer rapport
and pride with job and com
munity, -i
Industry's new Interest In
the countryside Is understand
able, since most of our large
cities are rapidly approaching
a "no vacancy" status wherein
the only possible expansion Is
upward. More than two-thirds
of our entire, population is
jammed together in big cities
and suburbs, occupying less
than 2 per cent of the nation's
land area. Only one-third live
in the entire countryside,
which comprises more than 98
per cent of all land area in the
United States and some 16,000
towns and small cities, scat
tered from coast to coast.
Many of these are Ideally sit
uated to accommodate more
industry and more people.
This is why a countryside
movement of Industry and
people could be a happy solu
tion to our nation's population
and employment problems. It
can benefit millions of people,
hundreds of Industries, and
the whole nation. The thou
sands of small cities that have
so much to offer now have a
new chance to become thriving
communities where living can
be made better than ever.
