October, 1946 THE HARRIS (N. C.) HERALD PAGE THREE NEWS AND COMMENT FROM RALEIGH CAPITAL LETTERS — By — THOMPSON GREENWOOD ZIPPER—-Several funny things happened while State officials were conducting the Democratic political gatherings over the country. One of the most humoroufe In cidents occured near W,Uliamston as the speakers were en route to that thriving Northeastern North Carolina town. As all men must now and then, they stopped at a filling station to wash their hands. One of the officials—you all know him and love him—found it impossible to zip up his pants." He pulled, he jerked, and he grunted—and he would push down and try to get a little run-and-go, but it stuck every time. Finally one of the other bre thren was called in for assistance. Time was growing short, and it v/as no occasion for fiddling around. The helper, deciding to get the zipper zipped in a hurry. o o > • i ■ I ROACH’S FLOWER SHOP Avondale, N. C.

Hawkins, by the way, was the first name bandleader to appear at the L. A. nitery after its gala opening about two years ago. h Just now the 20th Century “Gabriel” is rendering rhythm that’s hot—playing dates in Kansas City, Kan.; Topeka, Kan.; Oklahoma City, and Tulsa, Okla.; Hot Springs, Ark., and hopping to Hop kinsville, Ky.; Gary, Indiana; Cincinnati, Ohio; St. Louis, Missouri; Louisville, Ky., and winding up in Youngstown, Ohio, before filling a week’s stand at The Met in Cleveland, Ohio. took booth hands, gave a mighty lunge, practically lifting our hero from the floor—-but no good. They laughed at first, but the matter was becoming serious. Northeastern Democracy was at stake only a few miles distant. Well, what to do? The unzippered gentleman was to make a little talk, and not even good Demo crats would forgive his standing up there that way. It just wasn’t done. Strange to say, the men’s un derwear shortage saved the day. One of the fellows present agreed to sacrifice the two safety pins he w"as using on his shorts to pinch-hit fpr the stubborn zipper. The trip continued, the man (who may be your next Governor) made his speech, and only two commandments were broken — one whe the zipper got stuck and the other when the speaker said: “I’m delighted to stand before you here today——.” now being asked is whether Cald well is coming back as anaster of the State Grange. He recently sacrificed a $12,000 position to come with the N. C. Good Heal th Association at a reputed salary of $7,500—but this job is not expected to last more than six to eight months. Then what? Don’t be suprised if Harry, good wherever you put him—lines up with some cooperative farm group—or groups. Meantime, you will hear plenty from him dur ing the legislature. P. S. A new Grange master will not be named until next year. Pepsi-Cola—7-Pp Distributors Phone 3932, Forest City GREER—-Within the next few weeks you will have an oppor tunity to hear Dr. I. G. Greer, president of the N. C. Good Health Association and superin tendent of the Thomasville Bap tist Orphanage, speak on the need of improved health facilities. He and Harry B. Caldwell, who has been made'executive secretary'of this association, should appear in your section pretty soon now. Greer, who .has a strong resemb lance to the late Woodrow Wil son, makes a wonderful speech. You shouldn’t miss it. You will enjoy every minute of it. And if you aren’t careful you may have to use your handkerchief now and then. 'Tear-jerking? Yes, but it’s good. He ranks right along with Broughton and Hoey as a com pelling talker. COMING BACK?—The question FEATHERS—The talk in sports circles in this State is Beattie Feathers, part-Indian coach at N. C. State (undefeated as this is written). Rumor has it that he will be paid $8,000 in 1947. Feathers, former Appalachian mentor, came with State as as sistant to Doc Newton, now at Guilford. When Newton left, the head job went to Assistant Cecil Johnson, who resigned three days later, • saying he could not get along on $3,600. Feathers said he would. His teams have looked good even while losing. State will be lucky to keep him. SAMPSON—Republican Sampspn Co'unty may Have a Samson on' its hands in some of those vete rans who are Democrats running on a Veteran’s Ticket against older Republicans having no ser vice records. The vets are giving the Decem ber 7,. 1941, ages of the incumb ents, some of whom were as young as 31 when the war be gan. In posters, handbills, and newspaper ads they are compar ing these records with their own. They may not win, but it is the brightest chance the Democrats have had in Sampson in years. Keep an eye on the outcome Saturday. THE ROCK—Football teams have their troubles, too—more than the public realizes. There have been rumors of trouble at Caro lina, and now Rock Brinkley is giving Wake Forest some worries. A temperamental lad, he went home (Norfolk) for a few days last summer when he became miffed at something. The fact that he is one of the leading scoreres in the Southern Confer ence has given the rock some thing of a prima donna complex. Last week he didn’t accompany the Deacs to Knoxville for the Tennessee game. HOWYALL?—Kay Kyser will be in North Carolina during the month of January—and in the thick of the rural health-med school knock-down-drag-out i n the Legislature. He’s the ace in the hole for the N. C. Good Health Association. Now, listen: Thi.s is going to be the hottest, stormiest fight seen in the General Assembly since sales tax days. The lines of battle are already being drawn. It’s going to be terrific! Notes—The estimated cost of construction work in 26 principal N. C. cities is $3,675,636 as against $1,630,487 a year ago. Charlotte is first with $578,757, High Point is second at $360,696, Winston-Salem is third with $244,210, and Lexington is fourth with $241,675, compared with only $21,685 a year ago. Hathaway Cross, State Paroles Commissioner, grew up on a fann in Gates County, and he loves the soil—has a n.i.ce fapm just on the edge of Raleigh. Last Thurs day night one of his sows had 16 pigs. He .worried about that all day Friday, but he had anoth- DONALD DUCK BLONDIE LITTLE HENR\ REPORT MADE BY. HEALTH DEPT.

One case of whooping cough and one case of scarlet fever, was reported, says Dr. J. T. Ramseur, county health offi cer. In the immunization clinics 61 persons were vaccinated against smallpox, 126 against diph.teria, 22 against whooping cough and 66 against typhoid fever. In tuberculosis control there were 10 x-ray examinations and one patient was admitted to the san- itorium for tuberculosis. Three patients were admitted for pre natal care and three for contra ceptive service. Phjrfical Ed Program In school hygtene 80 children were examined at Cliffside in co operation with the physical edu cational program. The general clijiic for mothers and infants, immunizations and veneral dis ease in Cliffside was re-opened and will continue every Friday from 12:30 to 1:30 p. m. except the first Friday of each month when there will he no clinic in Cliffside. In the orthopedic clinic which is held in the Rutherford court holuse on the first Friday morn ing of each month 29 patients were examined by Dr. J. H. Cher ry, 23 of these were from Ruth erford county, 2 from Polk coun ty and 4 from McDowell county. Two patients were admitted to the orthopedic home for treat ment. Tonsil Clinic At the tonsil clinic which is held at Rutherford Hospital ev ery two weeks, there were 20 tonsillectomies. No school ex aminations were held during the month of September, but the schedule has been outlined and the screening completed by the teachers so that all childen in Rutherford county schools who show evidence of ill health for any reason, will be examined by the health officer before Christ mas, and recommendations will be made at that time toward im provement of their condition. Mr. Powell and Mr. Gibson are working together in sanitary con trol in Rutherford county so as to give Mr. PowoH the advan tage of Mr. Gibson’s knowledge and experience. They adjusted seven complaints and made 28 visits to inspect the construction of septic tanks. Fifteen new sep tic tanks have been completed during August and September. At a.meeting of the Board*of Health in the district the stan dard milk ordinance which had applied only to Rutherfoi'd coun ty was re-enacted so as to apply to the entire district with the following change: whereas in the past, Grade A, Grade B and Grade C raw and pasteurized milk could be sold in fhe district, only pasteurized and raw Grade A milk may now be sold in the dis trict. Producers are allowed a period of one year from the date of enactment to comply with ^jese regulations. Mr. Gibson and Mr. Powell inspected all Grade A Dairies in Rutherford and Polk counties and in addition, those dailies in Henderson and Bun combe counties who deliver milk to pasteurization plants in Tryon. A sample of milk from each of these dairies was analyzed. The Health Department has continued in its work during the last quarter under the direction of Dr. Ben Washburn up to Sep tember 9th,' and then on his re tirement Dr. Jackson T. Ram- saur continued as Health Officer. For the purpose of records, it should be stated that Dr. Ben er expecting a blessed event Fri day afternoon, so he would just take four of those sixteen, he said, and give them to No. 2 sow. But, and this is no lie, old No. 2 came in with 18 pigs. The last account available on the situation had Hathaway buying 10 milk bottles and three cases of Carna tion milk. OFF THE CUFF—On Nov. 9 at 7 p. m. - all N. C. radio stations will carry a good health program, part of it from Kay. Kyser of Hollywood. Gov. Gregg Cherry has been brought into it, ■ too—Kerr Scott is expected to be elected president of the U. S. Commis sioners of Agriculture As.socia- tion when it meets in Detroit this month .... Halifax, War ren, Northampton, and Hoke coun ties have the largest Negro popu lations in the State, according to State school officials, the per centage running about 79 per cent of the total population . . . Many eastern counties run 60 per cent colored. RABBIT FEET — State Auditor George Ross Pou las-t week form ally presented the Sampson County veterans with four rabbit feet, “which come from rabbits killed oh Friday 13 on the dark of the moon in a negro grave yard”. This gift, he eaid, might result in Sampson’s going Demo cratic. A . number of Western N. C. counties could use a thousand such feet each, and Brunswick, away dqwn east, is partly Republi can now, may go all the way on Saturday, Wpshburn served as health offi cer for the Rutherford-Polk dis trict for a little more than four years, coming out of retirement at the onset of the second world war and offering to serve in that capacity as a patriotic service. During these past four years in spite of handicaps of equipment the district health department has developed under Dr. Wash- bum’s able leadership into one of the outstanding health units of the state, serving: as a model for students, and offering many services not available in other districts. The people of Rutherford and Polk counties owe Dr. Washburn a tremendous debt, it is certain, that his contribution to the health and security of his. native com munity will serve as a founda tion for the development of healthful living in the future.
