Thanks Benefactors Mrs. Minnie Clary, of 935 Jackson Street, was seeking the assistance of the Rambler this week in expressing her thanks ’ to the nice folks who sent cards and edibles. She said she got so much from so many, she had too few words to amply express her feelings. Goes to Florida The Rev. C. L. Lyles of 1208 Hamilton Street, Roanoke Rap ids, has accepted a call to take over the pastorate of the United Pentecostal Church in DeFuniak Springs, Florida and he began services there last Sunday. Jan uary 18th. Almost 1948 Baby Howard Hancock, former adv ertising manager for the Herald and now holding that position with the Wilmington Post, was boasting of the arrival of his third daughter at 2 o'clock on the morning of December 31st in Marion Sprunt annex in Wilming ton. The eight pound two ounce baby girl was given her mother’s name, Mary Virginia. Anybody Know Them? Those two [Marine Corps Ro cruitir.cr So.« ..ants holding forth at the postofl.

Chief’s Friend Dies The Rambler regretted very much to see in the daily press that Howard Pierce, SBI agent and former Raleigh police chief, was dead. We met Mr. Pierce in Warrenton one day during the last hearing of the Northampton Buddy Bush case. Mr. Pierce, who knew our police chief Pete Davis, quite well, was one of the chief investigators of that case at Rich Square, but doubted that any further evidence would be discovered. He was 53 years old. Practice in Wayne County Douglas Wilson of Littleton, a vocational agriculture student at North Carolina State College, has been assigned to New Hope School in Goldsboro to get his practice teaching. He will grad uate from State in June, but dur ing the next six weeks will be getting valuable experience in vocational agriculture instruc tion under the direction of D. W. Kneeshaw, the school’s instruc tor in that department. City Improvements A certain officer of the volun teer fire department, the secre tary to be exact, says Roanoke Rapids is beginning to have a one - man fire department — a man who not only puts the fires out, but one who inadvertently ' starts them, with himself as the victim. It all happened Tuesday 1 night, said the Rambler’s infor- : mant, when the assistant fire ' chief sat down to read a maga zine. He struck a match and lit : a cigarette. He didn’t sit there 1 long. The match flew back into i the chair in which he was seated and removed.a large portion of his trousers — just which portion isn’t told, but after the unfortu nate fellow had succeeded in get ting a fire extinguisher and dou sing the blase, he wouldn’t turn his back to anyone.

C. E. A. Board of Directors re questing the governor to call a special session of the Legislature to consider emergency needs in education caused by the increas ed cost of living and operational expense of the schools. The resolution, which was ad opted at the regular January meeting of the local group and which has been forwarded t o Governor R. Gregg Cherry, fol lows: “Whereas the inflation follow ing the lifting of OPA regula tions has advanced the cost of living since the salary increase granted by the 1947 Legislature, and “Whereas the training period is lengthy and expensive and the | duties of the teacher are exact ing, the present salary is insuf ficient to attract young people of high calibre to the teaching pro fession, and ‘‘Whereas the enrollment of schools has increased and will increase in successive years, the children of our state face inade quate and inferior educational training which will result from a teacher shortage, and “Whereas the State Board of Education has set up require ments for certificate renewal which will make summer school attendance imperative for a targe number of teachers, and “Whereas the legislators of this district favor the calling of a special session of the Legisla ture to increase teachers’ salar ies, “Be it therefore resolved, that the Roanoke Rapids unit of the N. C. E. A. affirm its complete endorsement of the Department of Superintendents and the Board of Directors of the NCEA in re questing the Governor to call a special session of the Legislature for the purpose of making addi tional appropriations to the pub lic schools of the State in order to increase the salaries of school personnel and safeguard the ed ucational opportunities of the children of North Carolina.” (Continued on page 6—Sect. A) Pre-School Clinics Slated By Robert F. Young, M. D. County Health Officer The Halifax County Health Department has scheduled the preschool clinics for all the schools, both white and colored, in Halifax County for the com ing year. These clinics will be gin on February 2, and will con tinue through February 25 for all schools in Halifax County ex cept Roanoke Rapids white schools where the clinics will be held April 28 and 29. The sched ule for the larger schools is en closed in this article; however, the complete schedule will be advertised throughout the com munities in Halifax County. The Halifax County Health De partment and the three school systems in Halifax County will follow the same ^licy during the coming year that was follow ed last year with reference to re quiring all children being admit ted to school for the first time to be adequately vaccinated for j smallpox and adequately immun-| ized for diphtheria and whooping I cough. No child can be admitted to the first grade in school next fall unless it can present certi ficates for these immunizations on admissionn. Any child not presenting these certificates of immunization will be refused ad mission to school until such time as these immunizations are com pleted. The importance of this im munization program has been very forceably emphasized in some of our communities during the past year, /here we have had diphtheria, for instance, to break out among the older age children in school. We feel that it is probable that there would have been a considerable epidemic from this disease had the children not been given booster doses or adequately im munized at the begining of their school career. With further reference to the booster doses for diphtheria and whooping cough, all children who have not been recently immu nized, or certainly immunized withinn the past two years, will be given a combined booster dose for diphtheria and whoop ing cough at the preschool clin ics. Pre-school clinics in the larger schools have been scheduled as follows: Enfield, white, Thurs day, February 5, at 10:00 a. m.; Enfield, colored, Thursday, Feb ruary 5, at 1:00 p. m.; Weldon, colored. Friday, February 6, at 9:30 a. m.; Scotland Neck, col ored, Monday, February 9, at 10:00 a. m.; Eastman, colored, Monday. February 9, at 10:00 a. m.; Hobgood, white, Monday, February 9. at 10:00 a.m.; Hob good, colored, Wednesday, Febru ary 11, at 11:00 a. m.; Weldon, white, Friday, February 13, at 9:30 a. m.; Scotland Neck, white, Monday, February 16, at 10:00 a. m.; Roanoke Rapids, colored, Wednesday, February 18, at 1:00 p. m.; Aurelian Springs, white, Thursday, February 19. at 10:00 a. m.; William R.

T. Eure farm, between Halifax and Scotland Neck, Friday morning by county officers. Coroner Rufus Britton said death was caused by the com plete severing of the main art ery and all leader veins in Watson's right leg, apparently by the accidental discharge of a 12 gauge shotgun he was carrying. The coroner's verdict was that he came to his death by reason of excessive bleeding caused by an accidentally in flicted bullet wound and no inquest was deemed necessary. Britton reported that the gun wadding was found in the dead man's shoe. Official Notice Received Discontinuance of Marketing Quotas on 1948 Peanut Crop -1 — Official notice has been receiv ed by the Halifax County Agri cultural Conservation Committee hat marketing quotas for the 1948 peanut crop have been sus pended, it was announced today by C. L. Kelly, Committee chair man. “Farmers will be permitted to plant in excess of allotments es tablished for 1948 without being penalized,” Kelly said. Under marketing quotas, pro duction in 1948 would have been approximately 2,359,000 acres compared with the approximate ly 3,378,000 acres harvested for nutSt in 1947. Thus, seid Kelly, the 1948 allotn&KvV wWild have been about 30 percent less than the average acreage harvested for nuts during the 1942-46 per iod. “Peanut producers voted in favor of quotas for the next three years, however,” Kelly de clared, “thus making the quotas machinery available for 1949 and 1950 in the event conditions should make it necessary to im pose marketing quotas for pea nuts.” Under the Agricultural Adjust ment Act, peanut quotas are in effect for three years following a two-thirds favorable vote in the referenndum held on Dec ember 9th, but the Secretary of Agriculture may increase or ter minate quotas for any year if he finds, upon investigation. that either action is warranted. 2 Negroes Escape From Law But Only Temporarily Finally halted in a 10 mile es cape dash from three highway patrolmen when their 1936 Ford automobile wrecked over an em bankment early Sunday morning, ;wo Garysburg Negroes took to ;he woods and water and got a vay — temporarily.
