Recently a petition requesting mail service in the development was signed by all of the residents and following no little effort on the part of Mayor l.croy Has kett, the Post Office Department agreed to extend delivery and is now ready to pul on an extra city carrier.

The Mayor had been requested to use his influence in securing mail de livery and in view of this fact he is appealing to every family in the new development to com ply with the Post Office Depart ment’s requirements to the end that mail will be delivered. Postmaster F. Kramer has i been authorized to add another carrier to provide this service, and the Town of Edenton has placed a sign at the site, another requirement, hut no mail will he i delivered until every house is numbered and a box provided for depositing mail. I The lack of cooperation ap parently hinges on the fact that several of the residents of tie- j cessity are required to go down 1 town and have boxes at the post office, while there are others who I are very anxious- to have mail 1 and parcel post packages deliv i ered to their door. Ma vor Haskett urges every resident to number his house 1 and secure a box so that this j service can be started as soon as 1 possible. Chowan Farmers Urged To Complete 1946 Soil Program $25,387 Available as Re sult of Conservation Practices In an effort to obtain maximum conservation with the $25,887 fund! that has been made available to Chowan County farmers through the 194(5 Agricultural Conservation Pro gram, J. M. Price, chief clerk of the Chowan County AAA Office, urges farmers to follow through on their conservation work that W’as approved on their farm plans last spring. “We fully realize that many con ditions may have prevented farmers from performing the practices as originally planned,” he said. “In such instances, the county office personnel is anxious to render every assistance by helping these farmers in select ing substitute practices.” Farmers finding it impossible to ■ carry out their original practices or to substitute others are being urgent- ■ ly requested by Mr. Price to inform the AAA office immediately so that the funds alloted to thei» farms may be transferred to neighboring farm ers who need additional assistance and are in a position to carry out > mre practices. Practices which still can be carried out in Chowan County this fall ac- : cording to good farming methods are: Spreading lime, seeding crim- ; son clover, vetch, Austrian winter peas and rye grass.

Possibility Looms Os Greatest Polio [ Scourge In History ‘Nationally, Cases This Year Exceed All Pre vious Figures The nation right now is experienc ing what may prove to be orie of the 1 largest polio epidemics ill the record- 1 jed history of the disease in this country-. This is made known by J. , Edwin Buttlap. chairman of the ‘ Chowan County Chapter of the Na-yj tional Foundation for infantile l’ara- j ‘lysis. _ [ "So far thisyear.” Mr. Buffiap said, j '"according to the U. S. Public Healthy Service, the upsurge of polio cases' nationally has exceeded the rise dur ing similar periods ever since infan- , J tile* paralysis figures have been re ported by tlmt agency." ' "We cannot tell how severely we may be hit.” the chairman said, "but j jtlre National Foundation and its! !chapters are prepared as never be jfnre. Long-range planning early this [spring now is paying invaluable divi dends to meet the present emergency. ; "Four polio emergency aid units have been established in cooperation with Stanford University, Harvard University, Northwestern University ■and the: D. T. Watson School of. 1 Physiotherapy." These units, it was explained, are comprised of an orthopedic surgeon. ' pediatrician, orthopedic nurse, an epi demiologist, and two physieja! thera pists. Upon request of state and lo cal health authorities the units go I [into epidemic areas, assist in setting; ‘ lup facilities and help instruct local j 1 professional personnel in modern!, methods of diagnosis and treatment j 1 of infantile paralysis. The Harvard unit Was summoned 1 ito Florida last May. The Northwest- • ern University unit just recently was .i sent to Peoria, Illinois and it was al-M so pointed out that wherever polio ‘ j strikes heavily the emergency aid t |groups are ready for immediate duty. “Chapters of the National Founda- 1 I tion,” the chapter chairman stated. ■ • "realizing the acute shortage of t nurses, are working in close coopera- « tion with the American Red Cross. 1 Salaries, maintenance and transport < tation of nurses, recruited through j the Red Cross for work in polio, are 1 paid by Foundation chapters. Each chapter is fulfilling the Foundation’s '< pledge that no infantile paralysis pa- • tient need go without the best pos- 1 ] sible medical care and treatment for| r lack of funds.” Should any chapter exhaust its 1 treasury in providing for adequate ' care artd treatment of victims in its area, national headquarters sends in supplementary financial aid, Mr. Buffiap said. Services of the Foun- t dation and its chapters are rendered s polio patients regardless of age, race, r creed or color. 1 GRADUATES AS NURSE f Miss Dorthine F. Roberson, niece f of Mrs. William S.

Bert Creighton ; Arranges Schedule to Inspect Hospital | Chowan County’s proposed hospi tal was the subject of discussion at a joint meeting of the Chowan t’oun ;t.v Commissioners. Town Council, doctors of the. community, the Board jof Public Works and members of the Hospital Committee held Tuesday as iternoon in the Court House. J. W. 'Davis, chairman of the. Hospital Committee, presided, stating that the I purpose of the meeting was to ascer tain the exact status of the town’s proposed lease of the base as well as the advisability of taking Over the hospital iii lieu of building a hospi tal at the present time. Mr. Davis called upon Mayor Fe rny Haskett to furnish the latest in- I formation pertaining to the town’s lease, and the Mayor stated that while no lease had been actually signed, the several inventories of equipment at the base requested by jthe Town have gone to the various | bureaus of the Navy Department for final acceptance. Mr. Haskett stated 'that some of the equipment rr ! quested by the Tow,n vnight be con sidered critical items ’which are needed by the Navy and therefore ;would be sent to other bases. Hon jeyer, lie felt reasonably sure that tin* Navy Department would lease the j base on the one year i-s oeablc plan as iriginally offered. I's . mr.se. n • papers;have been signed, so that Mr. ; Haskett was of the opinion that this ‘phase of the transaction has been I held up due to final word from the Navy I tepartnient. In order to get everything'.out in ithe open. Mr. Davis asked a number of pointed questions." which brought forth a general discussion relative to the advisability* of taking over the hospital on the yearly lease plan. Among tin* angles discussed,One had to do with investing money to put the hospital oi; an operating basis. It was explained that a heating plant, water and sewage and electric service had to be considered, for it Would not he practical to use these services un der the system used .when the base was used by the Navy. It is under stood that a boiler has been left at the base of sufficient size to ade quately heat the hospital, though no figure ; could be presented represent ing the approximate cost involved to put the hospital in operation. The general opinion prevailed among those present that it would not be advisable to use any of the money contributed for a hospital in putting the base hospital in opera tion. though Some expressed their willingness to use the accrued inter est in adding what facilities are ne cessary. Those attending the meet ing were unanimous, in their opinion that it would be very unwise, in view of the of a hospital, not to accept and use the dispensary at the base, especially until such time as one could be built elsewhere. It was pointed out that the hospital at the base represented an investment of $800,009 and that enough supplies, excepting narcotics, were on hand to operate the hospital for several years. This includes drugs, beds and linen, and in fact about $70,000 worth of [various hospital needs, so that the hospital is better equipped than would be possible if a new one were built. It was also pointed out that I some of the equipment in the hospital [could not he secured today and that jif the project were started now, it [would require from three to five ■ years and maybe longer before it could be used. The general opinion [prevailed that in the meantime a hos [pital is needed and that it would be Ifoolish for Edenton not to take ad vantage of the opportunity to use the base hospital, even if an emergency (Continued on Page Five) Revival At Macedonia Church Starts Monday A series of revival services will begin at the Macedonia Baptist Church Monday afternoon, Septem ber 9.
