Help Is Needed
TO THE EDITOR:
. Hear Ye! Hear Ye! To the Citizens of Hertford and Out
lying Areas:
' When I moved to this marvelous little town, I found what
people are really all about never have I seen so much
thoughtfutoess and caring about each other's feelings.
I would personally object to any change in this feeling, so
I want to make you aware of something that is taken for
granted so often.
This town has a marvelous Rescue Squad and Fire
Department which work on a volunteer basis and are
always there when they are needed.
-In order to keep a good working squad, we must have new
fiilunteers recruited each year.
The only requirement is that you are a willing person to
Volunteer your time and that you are 18 years of age. In
Order to better understand the rescue work and the proper
techniques, an 81-hour course is offered to the members,
free of charge.
' Please notify Mr. Emmett Elmore, president; or any
Rescue Squad member, if you're interested.
We need your help!

Great Coverage
TO THE EDITOR:
Although we are no longer members of Homemakers
Clubs, we would like to express our personal thanks to Ms.
;Kathy Newbern, for her great coverage of the recent
county-wide tour of homes, new and remodeled. Her ex
; cellent pictures and write-up of the event were styled to
show those persons not attending that they missed a very
enjoyable afternoon. And for those of us who served as
hostesses at the tour homes, it gave us a peek at the other
homes.
' For us, it was especially nice seeing old friends whom we
had not seen for some time, as well as meeting new persons.
Ms. Newbern was so gracious in carrying on her job; it
- was a pleasure to see and talk with her.
So thanks again to her, and the entire staff of The
Perquimans Weekly, for making our county newspaper one
of which we can be proud.
And a note to those persons having newsworthy events
coming up, if you don't notify the paper in advance of these
happenings, there's not a way they can know of them to give
"coverage.

Some logic
for a happy
Father's Day
That proverbial
question, "What to get
Dad," still haunts many of
us each Father's Day.
Well, I have some logic'
First, if you spot a need for
Dad, by all means, go
ahead and fill it Second, if
Dad hints he needs a cer
tain item, then "presto,"
your problem is again
solved.
But, third, if you are
still baffled, then experi
ment. Experiment with
an inexpensive camera kit,
a fancy pipe, or maybe a
wild fragrance cologne
something Dad'd never
pick himself, yet some:
thing he may use and come
to love just the same. Then,
next year, he may demand
the ' same or else,
Experiment again!
