" Beautiful South Pacific islands, steaming jungles, European cities, hot sandy deserts,
and towns and plains of Asia have been washed in the blood of conquering and defending
armies alike. Have we Americans had to search through the smoldering ruins of What was
once our .home? American towns have never been subject to such barbarism, and for this
we all should be grateful. There is every reason for intelligent men and women who believe

The X-ray clinic which was con
ducted in Hertford for residents of
Perquimans County on November 16,

funds for the X-rays and who ar
ranged for two ladies to be present
during all the time that X-rays were
being made, to help with the clerical
work and help the children in dress
ing and undressing. Dr. C. A. Daven
port and Dr. T. P. Brinn made it pos
sible for the X-rays to be done in
Hertford by allowing the use of their
X-ray equipment and office facilities.
The X-rays will be read by Dr. P.

State Sanatorium. Dr. Hackett ex
pects to spend a week at the Sana-
torium in order to get the full re-
