P. Mitchell, Cleveland County’s Heplth Director. There were two deaths last year out of 41 reported cases. "Spotted Fever”, sometiimes re ferred to-as “Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever” because of its original diagnosis in the Rocky rash. The rash generally begin.s on the hands and feet and rapid ly progresses to cover the entire body. In severe untreated cases, delirium, convulsions, and death may occ-ur. - The or ganism that causes this disease (Rickettsia) is very simi lar to a virus and is trans.Titted by the bite of the dog tick. The disease is most common on the eastern seaboard, especially in North Carolina, Virginia, Mary Mountain states, is often misjudg-1 land, and Tennessee. The largest ed as measles or German meas- ; percentage of cases occurs in the les.

' In calling attention to the seri ousness of this disease, Dr. Mitch ell gave the following practical preventive suggestions: (1) Par ents should examine their chil dren at least once a day for ticks If the ticks are present, they should be removed gently with tweezers or forceps so that t he head of the tick does not remain imbedded. (2) Dog owners sl/juld remove al Iticks from their dogs each day. (3) The possibility of ".Spotted Fever” should be kept in mind whenever a person corn- plains of a rash and fever dur ing the warm summer months. Antibiotic treatment is effective if instituted early.

"Still, we can never relax our ■efforts in any direction as we seek the total development of the state’s economy.

The $360 million total is up nine per cent from a year ago ' when all spending totaled $512 I nrlllion. Dr. Copeland’s report shows that the travel industry’s i growth rate is far above the S-S*/' national average, and the 5.7''/r ! rate for all North Carolina retail I business. Total receipts of firms engaged in serving and transporting trav- I elers were $1.2 hillion, a rise of I nine per cent from the $1.1 bil- ; lion of 1904. i In 1965 there were 93,230 per- i sons employed in 20,180 travel- j serving firms throughout th.e i state, according to the survey. ! While the report painted an op- I timistic picture in many respects, j it pointed put a glaring weakness in the state’s travel industry.

In a single year, Winn-Dixie stores sold 1,661,300.000 pounds of groceries and 1,307,400,000 pounds of perishables. "We join Gov.

The gap means that tourist traffic in the state is abundant but that Tar Heel firms are not getting their share of the tourist dollar. This is pointed out further by the fact that firms selling gasoline and auto services report ed sales of $762 million, 2.4*^ of the.national tofal, while lodging, eating, and recreation businesses reported $413 million, which is only l.Sf-'r of (the national total. Bill F. Hensley, director of the state Travel ^and Promotion Divi sion, said, “This points oiit again that we are not reaching dur full Dotential. We must do a better job of detaining the traveler and not become a state that visitors drive through en route to some place else.” The survey shows that the state collected $180 million in taxes from firms engaged in serving and transporting trave lers. This was 28G of the state’s total tax collection. - Tax collections on tourist pur chases amounted to approximate ly $28 million._The survey esti mates that about nine cents from each tourist dollar goes for taxes, with the state getting seven cents and local revenues getting two cents.
