FIRST QUOTA SURGICAL DRESSINGS FINISHED ON TIME BY THE RED CROSS - 3 Need More Volunteers To Help With Second Quota Local Chapter The Surgical Dressing Work of the local Chapter of the American Red Cross has had an excellent beginning. The first quota of 9,000 bandages has been finished on time, thanks to the splendid response of the women of Roa noke Rapids. Due to a delay in transit, the material for the next quota for the local Chapter has not been received. Mrs. F. G. Jarman states that the next quota will be much larger than the first, and again sends out a call for the services of the women of the community, as she will need more help than she has available at the present time.

Har rison, whose resignation as Pres ident of the Club was made neces sary because he is to report for Officers Training School at Ft. Bragg on Sept. 24th. Young Pat terson took over the office at the regular Tuesday noon meeting of the club held in the Blue Room of the Rosemary Cafe this week. J. L. Suiter, president of the Citizens Bank & Trust Co., was elevated to the office of Vice President. Rev. Daniel Lane, Meth odist minister, will continue to serve as secretary of the local club.

Halifax County Girl Suffers Rare Malady Peculiar To Tropics Little Sandra Jane Hux, daugh ter of Clerk of Superior Court and Mrs. A. L. Hux, is suffering from a live parasite in her foot. The parasite, it is thought, entered a bout three weeks ago through a place where the skin had been broken. As the parasite travels it leaves a track about the size of a small needle. Doctors say that even though the foot were cut at the end of the tract, the parasite would possibly not be found as the track is hiade when the foot itches and becomes irritated, and the parasite would probably be an inch or two from that particular place. Sandra is being treated by doc tors in a nearby hospital. On her last visit there it is reported the doctors froze her foot in an at tempt to kill the ‘traveller”. Since then no. new track has been found, so it is thought that maybe ‘‘they got him”. However, doctors warned Mrs. Hux to watch closely for new traces for several days and if the track was discovered again, the foot would have to undergo another freezing. There have been comparatively few such cases in this section of the coun try. However, it is not an unusual disease in the tropics and is found very frequently in Florida.

And only well men can do steady work. But all of us have to do some things about keeping well at home, because l by the end of 1942, nearly one-third of our doctors and nurses will be in the army and the navy! To save the remaining two-thirds from having more than they can han dle, we must avoid unnecessary illness ourselves, and help the other members of our family to keep well. See your doctor once year You have your car checked and serviced every thou i sand miles. Do as much for your body. Physicians can prevent many diseases and illnesses for both chil dren and grownups now adays. Give your doctor a chance now, BEFORE you , get sick, do to see him!
