Page 2-The Perquimans Weekly, t, Letters From Our Editor's Mailbag '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. " MRS. HELEN SIMPSON " Hertford, N.C. 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. HELEN K. DESMOND i Snug Harbor, . Hertford, N.C. ; 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. I BOBY SIMPSON " Newton Grove, N.C. Zl. Mr. and Mrs. R.H.

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.
