'Building and Loan Associations
Play Prominent Part in Recovery
Lendiinj? From Three >to Four
Hundred Thousand Monthly
in State of North Carolina
The Building and Loan associations
in North Carolina occupy a promi
nent place in the recovery of the
building industry as it relates to resi
dential construction and repair work.
Recent surveys reveal that the asso
ciations are lending from $300,000.00
to $400,000.00 monthly for moderni
zation of present homes and for the
construction of new homes, according
to a statement made by Paul J. Kik-
er, president of the North Carolina
Building and Loan League. Moore
county has associations in Aberdeen,
Carthage, Pinehurst and Southern
Pinea.
In commenting upon statistics re
cently gathered by the United States
Building and Loan League covering
the country as a whole, Mr. Kiker
pointed out *:hat practically half of
the contracts for new residential
buildings awarded in November were
financed by construction loans from
building and loan associations. He
pointed out further that while con
tracts awarded for residential con
struction in November revealed a to
tal of $19,924,700.00, it is estimated
that the building and loan associa
tions advanced $9,246,000.00 of con
struction loans during that period.
Figures for the three Fall months re
veal that construction loans by these
local thrift and home financing in
stitutions were 40 percent of the to
tal new residential contracts award
ed, according to Mr. Klker.
The Unite '3tat«s Building and
Loan League .3 gathered this in
formation from ita members in all
the states. Based upon this informa
tion, it is estimated that $65,000,-
000.00 has been placed into the con
struction industry by these institu
tions during the Fall months of 1934.
The building and loan associations in
this state are well supplied with
funds and are extremely anxious to
do their bit in creating the employ
ment of labor by making loans both
for remodeling present homes and for
the construction of new ones where
needed.

tertained the Merry-Makers last Fri
day evening at her home on Carthage

NOORE COUNTY CONIIISSIONERS
"Register Your Baby.”
This admonition is the slogan of r.
campaign Uncle Sam will conduct in
every county in North Carolina dur
ing the next few weeks, going into
every city, town, village, commun
ity and the ruralside in an effort to
get a complete record of every baby
born in the State during the past 12
months.
State laws require that every doc
tor or midwife who attends a moth
er at a birth make a report of such
birth and this is usually done. On oc
casions, however, midwive.s, partic
ularly, and doctors occasionally, fail
to make the proper report, with the
result that there is no permanent rec
ord of the birth, and no birth certif
icate ia later available. And many
times, during the life of the average
man ,it becomes important, even vit
al, to establish his age.
The Federal Government is at
tempting to compkte the records of
births throughout the United States
and is calling upon all parents in
North Carolina now to aid in this
compilation. The campaign i.s being
conducted by the United States Bu
reau of the Census, through the
North Carolina State Board of
Health and with the aid of the North
Carolina Emergency Relief Adminis
tration.
Early in February the Bureau of
the Census, with the aid of the Post-
office Department, will distribute to
every family in the State a card on
which a few simple facts are to be
filled in, and the card dropped in a
mall box, without postage. The prin
cipal effort is to get all parents to
whom babies have been born within
the past year to fill in these cards
and mail them. This simple act makes
sure that the child reported is then
properly recorded and a certificate
of birth will be easy to secure. A
complete response to the call is
sought.

Miss Elizabeth Ray, who has

and Mrs. Huggins.
Miss Vera McLean, after spend
ing a week at home, returned to Mrs.
Wadsworth at Pinehurst Monday. She
will accompany Mrs. Wadsworth and
family to Florida to spend the re
mainder of the winter.
The Rev. J. W. Hartsell celebrated
his 80th birthday last week. A din

UPPER HOKE COUNTY DIES
County Health Officer, in Talk
on Prevention, Says Present
Cases Here Mild Ones
By Dr. J. Symington,
C’auiily Health Offlc-«*r
Influenza is an Italian word mean
ing influence; in this case, an evil in
fluence. La-grippe is the French
name for influence and is the same
di.sease.
This disease In epidemic form at
lesser or greater intervals of years. I
It usually attacks a great many peo. j
pie and as a rule acts very rapidly, i
The first great epidemic noted was j
in the middle of the last century, and '
the last great world-wide epidemic j
occurred in 1918 when millions sue* j
cumbed to this disease. Influenza Is j
a septicemia and we still have a lot i
to learn about It. 1
The bulletin states; After
Ing and spitting in a careless man

There are no vaccines or serums for
influenza. Don’t waste your money
on patent medicines—they are dan
gerous.
As present there are some cases
of Influenza in Moore covmly and
other counties of North Carolina, as
there are In almost every state of
the Union. These cases are mild and
the influenza prevalent at present
are winter Influenza from which pa
tients do not as a rule die. There
seems to be little cause for alarm or
fear at this time of year. Indeed a
light attack of Influenza now may
cause one to be Immune If a severe

months.

fluenza than it ever knew. It is still
thought that the disease Is spread
largely by careless spitting, cough
ing, sneezing and that the minute
agent Infection is carried thus from
one person to another.
Conditions thought to be very fav
orable for its spread may be found
in crowds and public gatherings,
churches, schools, picture shows, bus
iness houses, fairs, circuses, buses,
trains, or any place where people
congregate. Soda fountains which do
not supply individual cups may be
especially dangerous.
How to keep from taking influen
za: Keep away from crowds, espec
ially indoor gatherings. Avoid peo
ple who cough, sneeze and spit with
out holding a handkerchief over the
nose and mouth. Do not use common
drinking cups or towels, and keep
away from soda fountains that do not
supply Individual cups and sterilized
spoons. Keep the bowels open. Snuff
vaseline up the nose three times a I
day. Gargle mouth and throat and j
rinse out nose with warm salt wa
ter, using a level teaspoonful of salt
to a glass of warm water. Sleep and I
eat regularly. These are very Im- ^
portant. Keep In the open air and
! sunshine as much as practicable and
I have good ventilation in the home and
' office. Wash your hands before eat-1
Ing, and never put your unwashed'
hands In your mouth. Do not give the
disease to others—when you sneeze
or cough. Always bow the head and
cover both nose and mouth with,
handkerchief.
Symptoms Defined
In most cases a person taken with
Influenza feels sick rather suddenly.
Ho feel.T weak, has pains in the eyes,
ears, head or back, and maybe all
over. Many patients feel dizzy, some
vomit. Most of the patients complain
of feeling chilly, and with this comes
a fever In which the temperature
rises to 100 to 104. In most cases the
pulse remains relatively slow. In ap
pearance one Is struck by the fact
that tho patient looks sick. His eyes
and the Inner side of his eyelids may
be slightly bloodshot or congested.
There may be running from the nose,
and there may be some cough. These
signs of a cold may not be marked;
nevertheless, the patient looks and
feels sick. If you have any of these
symptoms, go to bed at once and
send for a doctor and follow his di
rections explicitly. If you cannot ob
tain a doctor at once, stay in bed with
plenty of cover to keep you warn,
open all windows and keep them open,
take medicine to open the bowels
freely, and take nourishing food, as
milk, eggs and broth every four
hours. Allow no one else to sleep in
the same room. Protect others by
sneezing and coughing into cloths
which can be boiled or burned. Stay
In bed until the doctor tells you it
is safe to gcc up; or, until you have
been without fever for at least four
days. I
Influenza is a treacherous disease.
If one is fortunate enough to escape
pneumonia during or Immediately fol
lowing the attack, the lungs and res
piratory system are frequently so in
flamed that tuberculosis developes.
The heart is over-worked and needs
rest. Therefore, do not return to
work or leave home until you have
regained your strength, whether it is
a week or a month. i
