The time has now come when idleness on the part of the
tender fair sex is regarded as gross unpatriotism, and many towns and cities
are enforcing work orders upon the pleasure seeking class belonging to the
feminine sex. There is no excuse for idleness on the part of women and the
overwhelming majority of them have long ago busied themselves in war work.
If there is nothing for you to do here, the government
offices can use you. Women are in great demand in the navy, and also in
clerical positions at Washington and in army centers.

Automobilists disobeying the ruling of the government in
respect to the conservation of gasoline were few in Ahoskie and section this
past Sunday. Whether it was due to the weather or the desire to conserve
gasoline will be revealed on the following Sundays, when the sunshine and good
roads invite the Sunday joy riders. However, even though the pleasure rider may
not have the patriotic desire to follow the request of the government
authorities, non-observers of it will mean a mandate which must be obeyed. The
only way in which you can show real patriotism is to curtail altogether the
Sunday joy ride.
