Editorial We must not forget The most meaningful of all days in May should be Memorial Day, a legal holiday sacred to the memory at those who died in the wars of the United States. Memorial Day is no time for celebration. Rather, it is a day to remember those Americans who made the supreme sacrifice in the service of their country. Let us so live that we may be worthy of the sacrifice of our servicemen and women and veterans. In our own little worlds, remote from the pain and uncertainty of war, let us ever be mindful of the blessings of our great nation. We should be thankful for the shining pages of history which record the brave patriotism of our military men and women. We should develop the attitude of love which transcends selfishness, cultivates a memory which refuses to forget and assumes our individual respon sibilities which combine to keep America great. Letter* From Oar Readers: Editor's Mail bag Other counties did work SAY IT LIKE IT IS: Perquimans County Commissioners and town of ficials owe a BIG thanks to the people of Elizabeth City, Columbia and Edenton for doing their job for them. Perquimans County officials can take no credit for the recent attempt to kill a duplication of services and a needless waste of tax money. I'm referring to the recent ARPDC Clearinghouse com mittee meeting held on Thursday, May 17. Only Mayor Cox of Hertford was there to raise any ques tions or make comments on the issue. And with all due respect to the Mayor.. .his voice was noticeably without the strength it should have displayed for the people of Perquimans County and Hertford. State Senator Melvin Daniels spoke with us by phone on the issue and we received a lengthy letter from Congressman Walter Jones. ..while our County Commissioners could not be reached.. .would not return calls or made no commitment one way or the other on the issue. Shame.. .shame. ..they will be all smiles and handshakes on the courthouse lawn come election day. Frankly I am a bit disappointed in the men I voted for. I have been advised to let the issue cool. .."don't give it too much publicity." It is rare that I have the opportunity to help decide how my tax money is spent and I for one don't intend to let that op portunity pass unnoticed. My personal thanks to the Editor of this newspaper for carrying my letters and to the numerous persons who have called or spoken in sup port of my efforts. Is is OUR efforts.. .it is OUR money ? let us at least keep OUR eye on it. Margaret A. Stowe Rt. 1, Box 1003-A Hertford, N.C. Thanks to doctors in clinic As a citizen of Perquimans County, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank the doctors of Chowan Medical Center: first, for continuing to pro vide our county with first-rate medical care after the departure of Dr. Hudgson; second, for working long hours and days to find Perquimans County our "own" doctor. Drs. Baker, Lane, Hardin, Voigt, Bond and Wright, P.A. Emmertt, nurses and staff, I thank you for not abandoning us. You are all a credit to your profession. Anedrea N.
