DIPHTHERIA NOW 1
PREVALENT HERE ;
Health Officer Calls Alien J
tion To Necessity For
Preventives
Two cases of diphtheria reported to
day by Dr. C. H. White, health of
ficer, were the first since last De
cember. and caused Dr. White today
to sound a warning of precaution in !
behalf of the children.
Ten cases of the contagion were re- |
ported In the county for the yaeri
1931-1932. Dr. White said, and of these
ten cases there were three deaths,
making a mortality rate of 30 percent.
Children entering school for the |
first, time are given the Schick test,
tout that is not sufficient time to keep !
the disease down, as about 85 percent J
of diphtheria is found in children be- I ,
fore they reach the age of six. the I
heal*h officer said. Diphtheria is a > ,
disease tat can be prevented by hav- j
Ipg the. child vaccinated. D»\ White j
said Eighty-five percent are protect- |
ed by three doses of toxin-antitoxin. ]
or two doses of toxoids. Therefore, he
■aid. it is best to have the child test- j
ed the second time-, six months after
vaccination, to determine whether or
Oot the child has been protected by!
the first vaccination.
Those who have not had their chil-,
dren vaccinated are urged to do so
before the approach of winter. The
vaccinations should begin at once. Dr. I
White said It is much cheaper, safer
and more comfortable to be vac-.
clnated than it is to have the disease. ;

James F. Mtckel tof Greensboro,
State commander of the Veteran* of
Foreign Ware, was present at the
meeting last night and outlined the
organization plans.
Other officers will be named at the
next meeting, which has been «et for
next Friday night. In the meantime,
efforts will be made to sign any
American soldier who saw service
abroad in either the army or the
navy.
‘the question of the time for re
gular meetings was left open until
a larger membership is signed, so
that it may be made the most con
venient to members. For tbe present
the meetings will be held in the court
house. A number present at the first
meeting indicated they would join
later.
Two assistants were with the State
commander, and the three gave the
obligations to members who joined at
the first meeting. The new officers
were installed also.

players who tried their Sunday Tuci
iwo weeks ago and won, captured %
•rnme with the police courts yesterday
when Judge Wiley G. Barnes dismiss
ed the action against them, brought
by Police Chief Clarence Barbour, and
threw the litigation into the civil
courts.
Judge Barnes held that the ordin
ances of the city require the collec
tion of penalities for violation thro
ugh civil procedure. For Instance, the
ordinary’ fine for violation of Sunday
laws in games is sl. The Raleigh or
dinances provide for a penalty of $lO
for participation in games. But the
violators go to the civil courts. There
the municipality may take judgment
but it cannot put the violators in jail.
This interesting point was raised
by Attorneys James H. Pou, Jr., Sen
ator John W. Hinsdale, and W. H.
Sawyer. Mr. Hinsdale was for years
city attorney and he had been in the
State .Senate before this term. There
were more drastic punishments put
into the ordinances, but when the
scene of collection shifted the base
ball players were all right. Manager
Eddie Winston, president of the club,
goes free. There will be no effort to
collect from him in the civil juris
diction.
The Raleigh team has taken its
ca3e to the public. There is no loriger

our production exceeds our own re-1
quirements; dividing everything up s |
with scrupulous exactness among our
own people, that no one may suffer j j
want in the midst of plenty, as is
happening today.
"Or. if we choose to remain a part |
o fthe world, we must level our wall,
and deal and mix with the world as ;
we find It.

TAKE NOTICE!
New depositors agreements have been approved and a committee is at
the bank ready to help you with your sign up and to explain the plan and
the reason for it.
Please go to the bank NOW and sign an agreement for these reasons.
1 The new bank can open in 15 days after agreements are signed
2 Ten Per cent will be paid on opening day
3 Accounts of $20.00 or less will be paid in full opening day.
4 Interest will start to run on your balance on opening day.
5 The second, third and fourth pay ments will be brought nearer
6 This community will restore confidence to itself and business will take
new life, as soon as the bank is open. j .
7 The government selected this plan based upon its experience to safe
guard your deposit, and pay you interest.
The bank is YOURS, will you open it or let it remain closed? The mat
ter must be left with you, everything else has been done.
We certainly hope that you will go to the bank immediately and sign the

The other part of the picture in

and unskilled labor never have been
defined for State highway purposes,
It is not yet determined whether a
truck driver i 3 skilled or unskilled,
whether therefore, man who furnishes
the directive wisdom of a road ma
chine gets 20 cents or 30 cents an hour
for a week of 30 hours. That leaves
the commission with a good deal of
uncertainty. It had something to do
with the whole'commission in making
up its mind on this subject.
The Washington authorities who de
creed that there should be a work
we;k of not more than 30 hours set
the higher rate and held the State
highway commission to those figures.

way commission see In this course
the “sop" of the administration to
labor. Generally speaking. labor has
insisted on higher wage rates, but it
has been asking for- the short wfeek
a long time and has received it in
this act of congress. The bureau of
roads at Washington holds up the
scale of pay.

of the crafts is pretty generally ac
cepted here, but the general impres
sion is that the low rate will appeal
to more voters In North Carolina who
would relish any Job that gives them
any cash. At any rate, the Washing
ton manifesto on wage scales has an
interesting political angle to it and
may figure in the November election.

First National Bank was made before
the Kiwanis club Friday evening by
R. G. Harrison, receiver of the bank,
who is a member of the club. He went
into some detail as to the condition
of the bank at the present time, and
said tha tit could open within a very
short time after the depositors sign
the new agreement that has been pre
pared for them.
A shop talk was heard by the club,
given by Sheriff J. E. Hamlett. who
told of how the sheriff’s office is op
erated. There were several stunts put
on by members.
The program was in charge of Jas

friendship of the organized crafts. As
governor of New York Mr. Roosevelt s
labor record Is called good, but here
is a congressional act which sets it
self against th very lowest wage rate.

tially back in the graces of -the or
