'Praise For Rescue Squad
TO THE EDITOR:
1 want to express my deepest appreciation and thanks to
one of the most invaluable services this county has -- the
Perquimans County Rescue Squad.
'During the past two weeks, my family has used them
- -twice. For someone who doesn't drive, having them just a
Vphone call away is very reassuring. Two weeks ago, my
husband had a kidney attack. They were at my home in a
. matter of minutes and had us off to the emergency room in
" no time. A week later I used it again for myself to go to the
emergency room. The volunteers of the squad are
; wonderful people. You don't realize how great they are until
you have to use them. I will never forget what they did and
'want everyone to know how great this service is.

Multiphasic Screening
TO THE EDITOR:
I have just had a Multiphasic Screening Examination
done at the Chowan Health Department in Edenton, N,C.
and I simply had to write this letter to bring this fantastic
offer to as many as may read it. It is one of the finest
examinations I have ever had, and I have had a few! Not
only are the tests about as complete as one can get, but the
kind, pleasant treatment by the Registered Nurses in charge
made this a memorable experience for me. No long waiting
lines, and being treated as a human being, instead of just one
more pound of flesh, removes the strain and tension from
i this type of examination.
The tests nclude a complete blood analysis, breathology
test, glaucoma, urinalysis, cardiogram, pap and mammary
examination, and chest x-ray. In terms of dollars and cents,
to have this done in our over -worked hospitals, the cost would
be more than the average person could afford, even if your
. doctor would order the tests. The cost for this screening is
$2.00! And all you need to do is call and make your own
appointment! The only requirement is that you must be a
North Carolina resident. Anyone not taking advantage of this
marvelous opportunity should never complain about not
being able to aford proper medical advice!
I canot praise this highly enough and pray this letter
.brings this Multiphasic Screening idea to your attention, so
you too may partake of its benefits.

; Aid To New York City?
TO THE EDITOR:
As most people know by now, New York City is almost
broke. Its leaders are begging for immediate assistance.
Last week in his continuing effort to avoid bankruptcy,
Mayor Beame announced drastic reductions in the city's
present services. A cut, for example, of 900 policemen was
made on top of the 2900 cut earlier.
' North Carolina congressmen will decide whether or not to
; support assistance to New York City. Citizens in turn should
inform their congressmen of how they feel.
I have "some" sympathy for New York's problems.
Liberalism, however, is written all over its present
difficulties.
Interestingly, New York has been the center of much of
I the media criticism of the South and its way of life. For
years we were pictured as backward, ignorant and full of
' prejudice. Now they want our money.

substantially increase the
money the town receives
from the state to maintain
our streets. It would also be
beneficial to the residents of
that area."
Harris continues,
"Another improvement I
feel we need now is a new
fire station, for we are for
tunate in having such a fine
fire department. Along this
line, a central dispatcher for
the police, fires, rescue, and
sheriff's department would
be a step in the right direc
tion." "I do hope the medical
facilities talked about some
time ago, will soon become a
reality, with the acquisition
of one or two more doctors.
And I shall continue to work
toward obtaining an in
dustry that employs
primiarily men. I believe in
progress and I'll do what I
can to achieve these goals."

I make this request to you as a voter of the Town of Hertford because I believe Mrs.
Broughton is well qualified to fill this position.
For nearly fourteen years she was employed as assistant city clerk and during this
time worked with three Mayors. Her duties consisted of keeping up with all phases
. of the financial operations of the Town of Hertford as well as receiving funds for
utilities and taxes.
Since leaving the Town Office as an employee she has retained her interest and
concern of the operations of this office and now desires to become a part of
the administration.
I sincerely believe Mrs. Broughton is as well qualified to become a member of the
Town Council as any of the incumbents or candidates.
Your consideration and vote for Mrs; Broughton on November 4th. will be greatly
appreciated. '
