I health officer, stating that more than
< 225 appointments had been made.
| and that it is quite likely that ex
aminations would be limited to those
cases. Dr. Roper, of the State Sana
I torium. will conduct the clinics and
he will be able to handle hardly ,
- more than 50 subjects each day. Most '
>f those making appointments for

the following in connection with the |
clinics:
Dr Roper will begin his work of

ored at the white school in Oak City;
Thursday. May 29th, at Health De
partment in Robersonville for
whites; Friday morning. May 30th.
at Health Department in Roberson
ville for colored.
Every known contact of the dis
ease has been vjsited by the nurses j
and all that they might have failed |
to see are invited to phone the health
department for an engagement.
Dr Roper is an expert in this work j
and it is worth the time of every per- |
son who has any reason to believe
that he has in any way been associat
ed with the disease to come and have
a fluroscopic made of his chest by
this expert. Forty-eight patients can
be examined a day but the doctor is
willing to work overtime so that no
one will be neglected.

Revelation by Admiral Harold R. Stark, ?hief of naval operations, that
U. S. neutrality patrols are operating as far as 2,(X)0 miles offshore
means U. S. warships are on lookout for Nazi raiders as far out as the
east coast of Greenland and within a short distance of the Azores. Even
further extension of naval activities was hinted in a statement by
President Roosevelt that the U. S. Navy could enter the combat areas
surrounding the British Isles "in defense of the American Hemisphere."
