Perquimans County residents! who as yet have not had a free chest X ray made by the Health Department stiU , have two days to obtain one. The ' big mobile X-ray units, being used in the survey will operate in this county through January 14. The unit which has been stationed in Hertford for the past two weeks has, been busy and hundreds of people have'applied for an X-ray. We urged all those who have not had an X-ray taken to do so before 'the program closet toworrow. Our District Health Department has gone to considerable trouble and expense to carry on this huge health Burvey and it deserves the coopera tion Of every resident If you have not had your chest X-raed ... do it today. How's Your Health? Just as a great business (lakes an inventory to ascertain its condition, every-individual at least once a year should seek, to find out the true status of his or her physical condition. -' We hear much talk about regular examinations to discover the exist ence of dread diseases in order that proper treatment may safeguard the body and restore it to health. Cer tainly, this is sound advice for all readers of The Weekly to follow. If you haven't had a physical check up lately, go to your family doctoH and persuade him to look you over. See if your heart and other vital or gans have been impaired. If there is anything wrong, follow the advice that you get and see if you can't re pair the damage that has already been done. . Parents of Perquimans County might well start the habit in their childern. Take them to the doctor and have . them carefully examined. Not only should they be tested for bodily ills but eyes, noses, throats and teeth should receive critical ex amination. . Tests for sound hearing often reveal unsuspected defects. Drivers Should Respect Rights Of Pedestrians Every driver of a motor vehicle has a tender regard for the rights of the pedestrian when he happens to be the pedestrian. On such occasions, they are in a position to understand that approximately 65 per cent of all per sons injured or killed in automobile accidents are pedestrians. Alter a narrow escape from some driver, they are - then willing to be lieve that a pedestrian is entitled to safety and that whether he is in the right or wrong, the driver should pro tect him. We hope that every automobile driver in Perquimans County who reads this, will make up his or her mind to drive carefully, paving regard for the presence of children in the streets, the location of schools and playgrounds and the natural tendency of children to ignore danger of which they are not fully aware. Let's all give a thought to the chil dren particularly. They furnish one- third of the fatalities that result from automobi aocidehts.

One of them seems very pleasant and easy to travel but it will not always be so.. There are swamps and morass es along the way in which hidden dan gers lurk. Many groups of young people have started down this road that seemed so fair to them. But alas, they have been overcome by enemies who came to them in the guise of fair friends. They promised them pleasure if they would but yield to their seductions. 'Some of these young people who started upon the wrong road have turned back and have gotten onto the right road. But those who heedlessly remain on the wrong road will find out, when it is too late, that they are hopelessly entangled in the moijasses of bad habits, shattered health, and weakened will. Listen youth! It is fashionable to drink cocktails today. There are many parties and social gatherings where alcohol is served. You'd better let it alone. It is one of the chief enemies that you will encounter upon the wrong road. Alcohol seems to be such a jolly good fellow. He's wearing a mask. If you cultivate him, that pleasing face will change and some day you will know him for the fiend that he is. If you listen to his siren song and fol low him, he'll lead you down to dis grace, despair, perhaps a mad house or an early death. Let us look at some of the facts about alcohol: It is a narcotic poison. At first, it "seems to exhilarate, to stimulate. When you take one drink it calls for another, w For a . little while care seams to slip away and you feel rich and happy. Bye and bye the narcotic properties assert themselves and the drinker falls into stuporous slumber. Next morning the head aches and nausea and depression takes the place of exhilaration. What does this mean? It means that alcohol is poi son and is unfit for human consump tion. . . Listen youth! You are now looking into the real face of enemy, ajcohol.. Last night with the jolly crowd, the gay laughter, the bright lights, be presented himself to you as a charm ing and desirable companion. You gave heed to his wiles and fol lowed where he beckoned, down the wrong road. ' This morning, in the revealing light of day, you see him as he is, a deadly enemy that is seeking your destruct ion. Don't risk him. again. Every time that you do. your will is weaken ed and your powers of resistance are lessened. If, you continue to indulge the habit of drink, you are lost. The liquor habit is increasing, sad to relate. In one city where records are kept, women contribute oven, nine per cent of the total orunk arrests. Formerly drunken women were almost negligible in this country. Now they are fairly common. Many people are so susceptible to alcohol that they almost invariably become addicts, if they once begin the habit of indulging in it at all, they cannot drink in moderation," This is because alcohol injuries their brains and their nervous systems. It mas tore them and they become its slaves. They started on the wrong road and they haven't the strength to turn back and get onto the right road. ;' ly grown from lU..e to Florida.
