Pellagra Spread
Alarms Doctors
\ — s —
A. B. McCreary, state epide
( miologest, recently expressed alarm
at the rapid increase of pellagra in
the state, especially in the eastern
> half. Already the pellagra death toll
I for the year is over 500. In June
, 748 new cases of the disease were
reported, making a total of 1,442
1 for the first six months of the year.
) Last week 222 new cases were re
ported from 47 counties.
“According to reports from the
various counties of the state, and
1 especially from the eastern part, the
) increasing number of pellagra cases
I is reaching proportions which can
not be viewed without alarm,’’ wrote
( Dr. McCreary in his weekly mes
( sage to health officers.
I “The financial depression is un
! doubtedly responsible to a great ex
tent for this increase. Yet the money
1 spent for corn meal, fat meat and
molasses, which is the chief article
of diet in most cases, probably could,
be used more judiciously in purchas
ing vitamine containing foods. There
would be less bulk, but more food.
“The Richmond county chain
gang, one hundred strong, lists on
its menu corn bread, fat back and
molasses, and with this some vita
mine containing substance such as
beans, cabbage and turnip greens.
Three times per week they "get
fish occasionally, very occasion- ,
ally, through the year, they get
beef roast and chicken.
On this plain, but wholesome food
no cases of pellagra have developed
among Richmond county prisoners
during the last five years, and those
committed there already suffering
from the disease show steady im
provement and are cured if their
sentence is long enough.
“This tends to show that fat back,
corn bread and molasses are all right
to supply bulk to the meal as long
as the necessary vitamines are sup
plied in sufficient quantity. Judi
cious spending on the part of the
sufferers will tend to lower the
present upward trend of pellagra.’’
Q
Fishermen Will Now
Have Longer Season
—-s>
Raleigh, July 23. —A shorter
closed season will permit fishermen
to indulge in their favorite sport
on Easter Monday and uniform
closed seasons on fishing to make
possible a more effective protection
,of fish during the spawning period
are important features of changes
recently made by the board of con
servation and development at its
i semi-annual meeting at Morehead
I City.
Under the new regulations, the
closed season on fishing will not
begin until May 1 instead of April
! 20 as has been the law previously.
1 This closed applies to all
species of game fish except the
trouts of Western North Carolina,
1 whose spawning season comes dur
ing a different period of the year.
The period of the year in which
these types of fish are protected ex
tends from September 1 to April 15
of the following year.
I The general closed season will ex
, * tend from May 1 to June 10, giv
ing a 40-day protected period in
the future in the place of 50 days
1 hei'etofore.
Another new regulation also pro
hibits the taking of fresh water fish
, in commercial waters during the
4 time that the season is closed in
inland waters.
$ Seining will continue under the
5 ban in inland waters following ac
tion of the board in denyig that
[ special permits be granted for this
' privilege in certain counties of the
> state. The board took the view
> point that as a wholesale method
‘ of taking fish, seining is unfair to
the great masses of fishermen whose
opportunity for sport would be
spoiled when waters are depleted
, by those who would exercise the
privilege of seining were permitted.
’ Collections from anglers’ licenses
this seaspn are said by officials to
be well ahead of last year, having
reached approximately $30,000. The
stte law requires that every person
who fishes in any other except his
home county must take out a state
license. However, the license re
quirement has been extended to in
clude all fishermen in 26 counties.
. Fishermen, it is said, should a»scer-
if their county is among these.

Begin New# Forms
On School Attendance
—® —
Raleigh, July 23.—Beginning with
the next school year the teachers,
principals and superintendents will
have a revised Set of forms on
which to make their reports. on
school attendance and child ac
counting, 4 it is learned from a let
ter sent out last week by State Su
perintendent A. T. Allen to all
county and city superintendents.
“On account of the fact that
many children move from one school
district to another during the school
term,” Supt. Allen sttaiesn Ifiv39e
term,” Supt. Allen states in this
letter, “it is evident that there is
some duplication in our records.
This duplication makes our per cent
of attendance run very low in com
parison with that of other states.”
It was with a view to correcting
this situation that a committee of
superintendents was appointed to
study the entire question of child
accounting. At the March meeting
of county and city superintendents
they submitted a plan calling for a
revision of the present registers
and reports, which plan was ap
proved.
The revised forms which have
been worked out by the state de
partment are based on the prin
ciples set up by this committee.
,These forms are the following:
1. The register forms, including
monthly and yearly reports to be
used by the teacher in reporting to
the principal.
2. A principal’s monthly report
conforming to the register and to
be used exclusively by the princi
pal in summarizing the reports of
the teachers.
3. A principal’s final report to be
made to the superintendent at the
end of the year.
4. A superintedent’s report to the
state office.
All these forms will be ready for
distribution to the superintendents
for next year’s use.

State Health Board
Cut Starts a Row
—’—
Dissension among some members
of the state board of health over
the drastic curtailments made by
the executive committee without
the full knowledge of the board was
revealed last night when it wa>
learned that a special meeting of
the board had been called for next
Friday morning at the request of
two or three disgrunt’ed members,
according to Raleigh News and Ob
server.
It was also learnbd that Dr. A
B. McCreary, state epidemiologist
who was employed as of May 1 and
on July 4 read in the newspapers
that his job would be discontinued
and let go on August 1, was con
templating suing the state for
breach of contract. Charles U.
Harris, Mr. McCreary’s attorney,
said last night that his client had
been employed for a year. Dr.
Charles O’H. Laughing-house, state
health office, said that Dr. Mc-
Creary had not be employed for any
specific length of time.
Dr. McCreary starts with the

“Never!” cried Aunt Minnie,

Textile Graduates
»
In Great Demand
The growth of the rayon and
: knitting industries, coupled with
, the diversification of the cotton
manufacturing industry, has created
a demand for intelligent young mein
who have been thoroughly trained in
1 the manufacture and finishing of
textiles. Years ago all the cotton
manufactured in the South went
into coarse yarns to be used for
* sheetings, hosiery, ginghams, etc.
Today Southern mills are manufac
{ turing fancy cotton and rayon fab
rics, fancy and full fashioned hos
[ iery which are the equal of any
t produced in America.
{ Dr. Thomas Nelson of Statd Col
lege says that there is an increas
ing demand for the Textile School
graduates of that institution to go
[ into these modern manufacturing
plants and earn lucrative positions
of responsibility. Since June, Dr.
Nelson has received many requests
for men, but as all the last gradu
ating class had accepted positions
before commencement, he has been
unable to fill these requests.
Men both doubt and believe at
the same time.—lbsen.
