Every citizen of Roanoke Rap ids is urged to make himself a committee of one to see that everyone has an X-ray of his lungs in the age group of fifteen years and up. Three counties in which this program has been re cently conducted on a mass scale have succeeded in getting high percentages of their population X rt.yed. The people of Roanoke Rapids can justly look with pride at the fine example of cooperation and good-will they exhibited in push ing this year’s Community Chest Drive over the top. The quota for this year was $13,637.50 and the latest official returns show a total amount pledged of $13,722.50 with probably more still to come. Back in August, Ray Stephen son, chairman of the campaign committee, with Ned Manning and C. M. Fleming, began making plans for the drive this year. They were ably assisted by Mrs. Allen C. Zoilicoffer, assistant secretary of the Community Chest. Byron Gurley was appointed Chairman of the Drive, and through their tire less efforts a job was well done.

E. Dobbins of the Roanoke Rapids police de partment, charged that a news story published in The News & Observer sent out from this city under an October 30 dateline, that the facts concerning the condition of the local jail, criticized last week by a grand jury investigat ing committee, have been “twisted and distorted.” The chief said he did not and will not admit the jail “is in an unsanitary condition.” Dobbins said the jail is inspect ed regularly by state and county officials and at no time have they criticized its sanitary condition or the food served prisoners held in it. “The jail,” the chief said, “is cleaned by the janitor every morning and on Tuesday and Fri day of each week the janitor, with a negro woman assistant, thor oughly clean and scrub every part of it.” As to soap for prisoners, the chief said it “has always been furnished on request to any pris oner locked in the jail.” Chief Dobbins said he is now preparing a full and complete re port on the facts concerning the jail and its operation which h® intends to make public within a few days.
