TRANSEAU
FARMER KILLS GEESE
TO PROTECT HIS CROPS:
Of interest to farmers of
Perquimans County,
especially those whose
fields front the river, will be
the decision of a Hyde Coun
ty recorder who ruled that a
farmer has the right to pro
tect his property to the ex
tent of killing geese that are
destroying his crops. The
recorder spoke harshly to
the game warden who
brought the farmer to court.
It was disclosed that the
farmer was shooting geese
that were eating his oats and
beans as game wardens ac
costed him and attempted to
take his gun. The farmer
ordered the wardens off his
property and the recorder
served notice that he would
uphold any other farmer
who used the same means to
protect his property.
However, the farmer must
leave the dead geese on the
ground and notify the game
wardens to dispose of them.
Geese have been more
numerous this winter in Per
quimans County than in
many years past, and local
farmers have been heard to
complain loudly about
damage the birds to in their
fields.
HOG MARKET AT WIN
FALL FAVORED BY PER
QUIMANS COUNTY FARM
BUREAU: The Perquimans
County Farm Bureau,,
revived and active again,
favors a hog market. Not an
Elizabeth City hog market,
but a cooperative hog
market in the center of the ,
Albemarle - In" Winfall. .'
"Winfall," says Irvin Nixon,
secretary of the rein
vigorated bureau, "is the
most centralized spot in the
whole section north of the
Albemarle Sound the hub
of Perquimans, Chowan,
Pasquotank, and Gates
Counties." Expenses at
tached to a market alone are
small, the equipment con
sisting for the most part of
scales, pens and loading
conveniences. The president
of the Perquimans Farm
Bureau is J.W. Ward,
register of deeds. N.H. Stall
ings of Belvidere is vice
president and Mrs. Nixon is
secretary and treasurer.
The officers took their posts
on February 7th.
Letters To The Editor
A Plea For Law Enforcement
TO THE EDITOR:
This is my first letter to a newspaper, but I feel the need to
ask all of you for support in trying to get the laws enforced
in this community. v
Sunday afternoon around 2:00 p.m. I let my little dog,
Jake, outside to 'do his business.' We have no children and
One Aspect Of ERA
TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing this letter regarding the timely and vital sub
ject of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), whose fate
will soon be determined by the legislators of our states.
Because this paper has not carried any specific informa
tion on the ERA, I would like to quote the Amendment.
It is as follows:
Section 1. "Equality of rights under the law shall not be
denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on
account of sex."
Section 2. "The Congress shall have the power to enforce
by appropriate legislation the provisions of this article," ,
Section 3. "This amendment shall take effect two years'
after the date of ratification."
I look at Section 2. and wonder what we may be sur
rendering to the Federal Government. We have just
celebrated the Bicentennial Anniversary of our country. It
was then our Founding Fathers gave the citizens liberty by
separating powers and by giving most power to the States.
However, the proposed amendment would hand over to
Congress our most personal and private human rights
establishing a more powerful centralized Federal
Government.
Certainly discrimination should not occur between the
sexes. We already have laws to that effect the Equal Pay
Act of 1963; The Equal Employment Opportunity Act of
1972; The Equal Educational Amendment Act of 1972; The
Equal Credit Act of 1974; and the Fourteenth Amendment to
the Constitution.
- The laws are made for our use; our problem is that they
have not been used effectively.
By this proposed amendment, I believe we have so little to
gain, and much to lose.

Excellent Se minar
TO THE EDITOR:
' Congratulations for the excellent seminar held recently in
news writing for correspondents and news contributors
sponsored by The Perquimans Weekly. I was impressed
with your objective and plan of action. It was one of the best
seminars I have attended in communication.
I agree that writing articles for our local newspaper can
be one of the most satisfying parts of a writing experience.
Thousands of people read our paper. Spot checks have
shown that they are influenced by what they read.
' Won't you agree that good news articles can make you
well known in a short time? Good news articles can make
every home a classroom. '
; We must remember that the people we write for are not a
captive audience. They are free to ignore our efforts any
time they want to and they'll do it, too, if what we write is '
not easy to read. When writing for easy reading, we should
. be conversational, use short easy-to-understand words, use
personal words, use short, varied sentences, use short
paragraphs and put down our thoughts in logical order,
' You and your staff should be commended for your ex
, cellent work in publishing ThePerquim ans Weekly.

consequently have invested a lot of our love and affection in
our little poodle-mix dog, Jake. He's heen around all of our
married life twelve years. We love him dearly. Usually
he returns promptly and when he didn't we became con
cerned. We looked and called for him to no avail. Finally, he
was found huddled on the church steps next door to us, cry
ing and shaking. Believing him to have been hit by a car we
rushed him to a local vet our hearts in our hands. The
prognosis was bad a cracked pelvis, a fracture of one leg,
loss of bowel and bladder control, and paralysis in both legs.
We were advised to watch and nurse him carefully; if no im
provement, we would have to have him put to sleep.
For the first two nights, Jake, in obvious pain, cried con
stantly the injection he was given was not effective. My
husband and I took turns staying up with him. Needless to
say there was no sleep in the Brantham household until
Wednesday night, when after a return to the vet, we
received an injection to help him sleep he slept part of the
night.'.-
We began a routine that will be carried out until a decision
is reached concerning his life. He cries when he needs to go '.
outside. We carry him out in our arms and lay him beside a
shrub. There he does his business but because he cannot
stand, he wets himself all over and begins to cry. He cries .
became he does not understand what has happened tohimJi
and he is very confused. We carry him back inside, bathe
him, and dry him with a hair dryer to prevent complications
of cold or infection. He is on a special diet to enable his
bowels to move. This routine is taxing to us and to him, to usr
because we suffer for him, and to him because of the intense
pain. .. (
By this time you may wonder what all this has to do with
law enforcement. Well please bear with me a few more
minutes. My husband and I decided to take him to another
vet to ensure we were doing everything possible to help him
recover. Please keep in mind he is a very special little dog
to us and you don't give up easily on those you love.
Another vet advised us to obtain X rays. We went to an
Emergency Vet. Hospital in Virginia Beach where this was
done. We were stunned! The results showed that little Jake
had been shot with a .22 caliber bullet and the bullet is still
lodged deep within his body. The vet was horrified that this
happended within the city limits of our town.
I am deeply saddened by this experience. I have cried
over the pain Jake is suffering and the thought of having to
put him to sleep, but the tears I've cried over a fellow
human being purposely shooting little Jake comes from
deep within me. We live in town and this happened within
the city limits before the hours of the curfew. Jake had been
lucky in the past. He was shot in the head and survived. This
happened last year in town assailant unknown. We had
an afganhound shot last year assailant known and
reported. Nothing was done. This person moved out of town
so we can assume this incident was caused by someone else.
Finally after three times, I'm outraged! This is against the
law. People cannot indiscriminately shoot a dog or anything
else within the city limits. Enforcement of the law must be
lax if people feel free to shoot what they don't like or what
irritates them. '
: Jake's life is already ruined, but there are other precious
vanimals that people love that must be protected.
Please Protect Them!

SOFTENING PROCESS
' Hardened paint brushes
can often be made as good
as new by simmering them
in boiling vinegar for a few
minutes and then washing
them in soapy water. '
; STICKY PROBLEM?
When postage stamp,
stick together, place a piece
cf paper over them and
press with a hot iron. . The
stamps should come apart.
COOL SUGGESTION
Turn , a car's air condi
tioner on for a few minutes
once a month during the
winter. Otherwise seals and
gaskets could dry out and
lose efficiency.
SAFETY IDEA
Keep a box of baking soda
in the glove compartment of ..
the car to use as an
emergency fire extinguisher
for an engine fire. Should a
fire occur, turn off the igni
tion and toss the soda on the
engine. Soda will also
smother a blaze should a
fire start in a seat cushion or
floor mat. Keep a sprinkling
of soda in the ashtrays to
prevent cigarettes from
smoldering in the car.
MEETING , ,
RESCHEDULED
' The precinct meeting
planned for Feb. 10 has been
rescheduled for May 5 due to
the Governor's statement on
the energy shortage.

Hie trouble with
drug patients is . . .
The trouble with many
drug patients is they're too
shy to bother their physi
cians about their drug regi-;
mens.;-'.
This is perhaps one rea
son why your pharmacist
is so handy to have
around. He's the last man
in the health chain the
patient sees. Thus, he's the
final link to help explain
the dosage regimen, con
traindications, and the
possible side effects of cer
tain drugs and to make
sure doctor's orders are followed.
As long as we continue
serving our community in
a health care capacity, we
will avail ourselves to you,
full time, to counsel
wherever questions exist
This is how we view the
total concept in profes
sional pharmacy.
