Cunningham Wednesday for re locating and replacing sewer lines along the No. 1 highway by-pass route and building a sewage pumping station and installing lines in West Southern Pines. The two projects were combin ed and advertised for a single bid. The bid accepted' is in line with budget estimates, Mr. Cun ningham said, adding that he be lieves the cost to the town is “as low as we’d ever get it.” The work will be done with cash funds on hand, including $20,000 transferred from the wa ter department, by authorization of the town council this month. The amount is to be transferred back to the water department in next fiscal year’s budget.

Mrs. Sallie McLean was handling the registrations, while the health officer. Dr. J. W. Will- cox, and Miss Annie McKeithen were carrying on work of the department. Raleigh Doctor Dr. Dameron is a young man: quiet, careful, intensely interest ed. To see him making his exam inations, coaxing a child to sit up to walk while he watches, watches, for the turned-in foot, the slight drag of a step, the sag pf a hip, to see his concentration, is to know he is all doctor. And to see him working with a frighten ed youngster, putting a cast on the twitching arm of a spastic girl, explaining to a Negro mother and father how they must take care of their frail son, is to think: is there anyone finer than a good doctor! Howling Cherubs The health center’s outer office seemed to have a lot of people in it Tuesday but when you came to look you saw that only about half of them were patients. The others were the parents, most of whom looked more worried than the children. These were of all ages. They ranged from the baby with the slightly clubbed foot, to the slim young teenager, the spastic, with the clear skin and big brown eyes of a dryad, afflicted with one of the cruelest of illnesses. Some had braces on their thin legs in father commanded, wasn’t having any. “Come along, hon. Show how you W£dk,” he coaxed and the doctor said. “You walk away now.

So finally Daddy had to come close and then she to<^ a step and then another while He backed away and the doctor leant forward and watched and watched each hesi tant step.

Moore School Children Now Getting Second Shots Of Salk Polio Vaccine arms, her face broke into a smile. “O. K.” said the doctor. “Now put her up here.” Clinics Held Monthly Moore County’s monthly ortho pedic clinics average around 40 patients, according to Dr. WiU- cox. There are always new cases at every one, with the regulms coming back to be checked at dif ferent intervals: every month, every two, or three months. Prog ress, in most of these cases, is slow and, between clinics, the public health nurses keep in touch with the patients, especially those having medication or remedial ex ercises. The orthopedic clinics conae under the Crippled Children Di vision of the Department of Pub lic Health. They were started dur ing the first polio epidemic and, for some time, were largely con fined to polio patients. They were held at first every three months, but since January, clinics are held monthly and the cases that come in show the general orthopedic pattern resulting from birth in juries, accidents and malforma tions due to malnutrition or di sease or deficiencies. With actual clinic expenses carried by the state, the remedial aids of medi cation and braces are suppHed by the long stfuggle of recovery from ; Polio Foundation, the Fund Administration of “second shots” of Salk anti-polio vaccine to Moore County second and third graders started Monday, and is proceeding in orderly fashion at the county health center, accord ing to Dr. J. W. Willcox, public health officer. The shots are being given only to those children who had their first shots last May and only to those children in this group whose parents have given new permis sion. As before, the children are be ing transported by school bus to Carthage, with each school being notified ih turn. The mass inoccu- lation project started with Carth age, and by Thursday morning only Southern Pines, Pinehur:rt and St. Anthony’s parochial school. Southern Pines, were left. These would very hkely be completed Thursday, said Dr. Willcox, though the project wiU continue through Saturday morn ing lor the benefit of-children;; who -were absent or who for some other reason missed taking their turn with their classmates. Only about three-fourths ol the approximately 6,000 Moore school- , children who received the first shot of Salk vaccine in May re ceived permission front their par ents to get the second shot. Dr. Willcox said that the vaccine has been made available for purchase by private physicians, any many of them now have it : on hand, for administration to ! children aged five through nine ; years, also pregnant women. As soon as these groups have been protected, it is expected there will be vaccine in sufficient sup-, ply to take care of everyone else desiring it. visited Pasadena and San Francis co, Calif., Portland, Ore., Seattle, Wash., and Victoria and Vancou ver, British Columbia. UNDERHILLS RETURN Misses Merta and Norma Un derhill returned to Southern Pines Saturday after spending the summer, as usual, at their cottage on Red Hill, Center Harbor, N. H.

Closing time here for this after noon mail to Aberdeen and Pine hurst is 3:15 p. m. polio. In the examination rooms, the doctor and his staff worked as a team. A dimpled, tanned cherub with curly yellow hair shrieked bloody murder as Dr. Dameron took him from his mother and sat him upon the table. “All right! All right! You’ll teU us, won’tyou!” said the doctor. His hands moved, feeling here, feeling there. Under his quiet touch the baby grew still, looked up at his face, then across at the mother, smihng encouragement. “There,” said the doctor. “Can you stand up, son? Let’s see!” And son stood up, with help, and the doctor studied his legs. It seemed that he didn’t think so much of all that chubbiness. “Ricketty,” he was saying to the nurse, “Vitamine . . . diet . . ..” She made notes on her pad, to be passed on to the county nurse who would be following up the case. Goody T'wo Shoes Next was a httle Negro girl brought by her father, a young man in trim khaki. “Can she walk?” X “Yes, sir. Show the doctor how you walk, Susie.” And Susie stood straight, her starched white dress stiff, her big eyes staring, her two feet in their white shoes planted firm. “Come on, now, walk!” her lis, and the 60 other bands now serving ashore and afloat all over the globe, are piano, clarinet and saxophone, flute, tuba-string bass, trumpet and french horn instru mentalists.

It was noted that, while paying particular attention to the orthopedic angle. Dr. Dam eron made a complete and thor- ough examination of every new patient, neglecting nothing. ! “It’s routine, of course,” he said. “You always do it with a new patient. It is necessary and, some- ^ times extremely rewarding and, j surprising. Every now and then you pick up something which if detected in its early stages may be cureable. Or operable.” One of the challenges, it would seem, in all work with young children. A brace for this one, shoes for another, exercises, a cast, vita- mine D, a careful eye examina tion. of a frail child suspected of neurological troubles, ... so the eiftemoon wore on in the health center at Carthage, Tuesday, as forty-some children of Moore County received the best their state could give them, from one of its hard-working, good-work ing orthopedic surgeons.
