Much progress has been made in North Carolina and oar iw
* tion in the fight againat tuberculosis, but the war against thia dto
J ease is yet far from won. Too many people are dying today from
| tuberculosis. It still remains the number one killer between the
) ages of IS and 44. During the past year, the death rate from tu
{ berculosis in North Carolina was 23.9, which i> 5.9 below the death
j rate for the nation, and which is lower than the rate for the pre
| vious year. We can derive much hope from the progress that has
| been made but we cannot afford to be less diligent in our efforts
! to continue the fight.
i
In many counties, tuberculosis sanatoria have been built. Oar
J State has launched upon the most ambitious building program in
j the history of its fight. When this program has been completed,
| the long waiting lists at the sanatoria will be a thing of the past
{ and beds will be immediately available for the sufferers from
j this disease.
Many agencies in North Carolina are engaged in the war
{ against tuberculosis. All are rendering valuable services In edu
J cation, maintenance of sanatoria, rehabilitation, early diagnosis,
| etc., but the North Carolina Tuberculosis association Is the agency
J through which the average citizen can have a personal part in this
fight. Especially in the fields of education, early diagnosis and
J research, the efforts of the North Carolina Tuberculosis associa
*? tion are of tremendous value and effectiveness. To carry out its
< ? work, which is a protection to the citizens of our State, the Tuber
J miosis association needs and must have money. This money has
! got to come from the people of our State through gifts of pennies,
j dimes and dollars.
Stanley Woodland, head of the Carteret County Tuberculosis
J association, today makes the following plea:
! ' "It's never too late to do a good deed.
"It's not too late today to join the volunteer army in our coun
ty which is supplying ammunition for the battle against that age
old enemy, tuberculosis.
"There is no difficulty about enlisting in this army ? no phy
sical examination is required, no J.Q. test.
"All you have to do is answer a letter sent you last November
with your 1949 Christmas Seals and return it to the Carteret
County Tuberculosis association with your contribution for these
seals.
"Most of you have already sent your contribution for Christ
mas Seals and thus have already joined the army of 19,000 resi
dents who are supporting the tuberculosis association in its cam
paign against a disease which kills nearly 50,000 Americans a year.
"Some of you have forgotten to acknowledge your Christmas
Seal letter. To you this reminder is addressed. Remember, it is
never too late to do a good deed. Enlist in the army against TB
by sending your contribution for Christmas Seals today."
! Thoughts for an open mind ...
! For want of intelligence the devotees of causes have been the
mischief makers of all time.
j The devotee of a cause requires little provocation to practice
persecution, and only opportunity to play the tyrant.
; Many people spend a great deal of time building up their sense
of self-importance.
The thing that easily shocks him is usually the thing he is strug
gling to overcome.
! The thing a man must make an effort to conceal always betrays
him.

With F. C. SALISBURY, Mart-head City
New buildings in Morehead City (
for the year 1949 show an increase
over the year 1948. Figures taken
from the records of the city build
ing inspector show that permits
for the past year on all construc
tions amount to $468,532 against
$431,780 for the year 1948. ?
The building of new houses and
garage apart met.ts 'was about equal
for the two years. Ijy- 194ft there
were 44 houses built and in 1949 !
the number was 46. The total I
cost of houses as given in the per
mits for 1948 was $124,345, and
for 1949 the sum of $181,825. Ad
ditions and repairs were made to
26 buildings totaling $19,060, ga
rages and small buildings to the
number of 24 totaled $7,930.
The First Baptist church erect
ed a new Sunday School building
at a cost of $53,975. The new
church structure of the First
Methodist church now under con
struction is estimated to cost
$140,000. Ten buildings for com
mercial use were built during the
year: Sanitary restaurant $9,500;
Fry Roofing company storage
?9,900; Louis Guthrie net house
$3,000; Ben Alford print shop
$4,000; Dudley Coal and Wood
$2,400; L. J. Norris office build
ing $3,000 and three smaller build
ings at less than $1,000.
Total number of permits issued
covering all buildings, 108. While
construction work on the new col
ored school building has been
started a building permit has not
as yet been given. Work is also
under way on the shaft for a new
elevator at the city hospital. This
being a city job no permit is re
quired. In December only five
permits were issued amounting to
$5,750. They include a small
house and repairing and additions.
September was the biggest month
of the year, with $170,200 in eight
permits. The Methodist church
building permit amounting to
$140,000 was issued this month.
For the year as a whole the fig
ures with permits first and values
second, are by months as follows;
January, nine and $76,807; Feb
ruary, 13 and $8,029; March, nine
and $24,875; April, eight and
$20,595; May. 10 and $30,550; June,
4 and $8,300; July 10 and $14,850;
August. 13 and $*1,859; Septem
ber, eight and $170,200; October,
four and $2,915; November, 17 and
$44,305; December, five and $5,
750.
A study of the amounts given
in the permits as to cost of build
ings src in many cases far below
the actual coat of construction aa
one can obaerve by comparing the
amount given in the permits with
the finiahed structures. This be
ing the case the coat of new
buildings in the city for the year
1949 would no doubt exceed three
quarters of a million dollars.
