Indeed, I consider Mrs. Harris and Tom Wolfe as the living pine tree and the everbloom- ing laurel of our state’s fictional life”. “Santa On The Mantel” is her second book for children Double day evaluated it as having a rightful place alongside “Scarlet Ribbons” and “The Gift of the Magi”.

Firemen from the Rolesville, New Hope and Garner Fire De partments, received first - hand training experience in fighting house fires on Saturday when they deliberately set fire to a dwelling to climax a recent fire fighting course held at the Rolesville Fire Hoiuse. The dwelling which was located on Hvvy. 401 near Neuse River, was set on fire several times and each time put out quickly and ef ficiently as firemen moved in with their hoses to douse the flames. Then when all firemen had parti cipated in extinguishing the blaze, the house was set fire once again and this time, allowed to burn down. Firemen report that two men from the New Hope Fire De partment received minor buras but none serious. On hand giving instruction to the core of men were: Sherman Pick ard, Chief Instructor; Elwood Ins- coe, Jim Fennison, Jerry Grimes and Roy Denning, all with the N. C. Fire and Rescue Division of the Department of Insurance. Rolesville firemen participating in the training were: Duke Perry, Bill Mitchell, Neal Mitchell, John Champion, 0. R. Freeman, A T. Lassiter, Clifton Merritt, Mike Mitchell, Kenneth Pearce, Bobby Jackson Pulley, C. F. Tharring- ton, Jr., and Wade Young, Fire Chief. At WF Hosfdtal Dr. Corbin New Chief of Staff I The Rolesville Department wish- ' es to thank the Wakette Fire De partment for standing by for them ' and sending a truck over to Roles- ’ ville, while they were out of the , district for this fire-fighting ex- j perience.

Community Readiness on VD Education Set Mar. 9 A community readiness meeting for,a proposed VD Education pro gram has been scheduled in Wake Forest on March 9 for parents and other interested adults. Officials at the State Board of Health are alarmed at the increase in veneral diseases especially among young people. Becau.se of this increase tlie Wake County Board of Education recently endorsed a mandatory public school program of education about VD. The meeting in Wake Forest will be to inform parents about the type program the schools will of fer. A film will be shown at the meeting. This meeting will be held in the Wake Forest High School gymnasium March 9 at 8:00 p. m. “Kids in school just don’t know about venereal disease,” says William G. Stoshak, district epi demiologist with the State Board of Health. Yet in Wake County he estimated, roughly 90 per cent of the recent cases of venereal di- sea.se have been persons between the ages of 12 and 22. Stoshak is frankly alarmed. 83 Cases In 1957 newly discovered cases of infectious syphilis in Wake County totaled only seven. Last year there were 83 new cases of •syphilis in the infectious stages. Last month nine new cases of syphilis were detected in the coun ty. There were 173 new caes of gon orrhea diagnosed in Wake County last year. These are just the “reported” cases, Stoshak emphasized. He feels many more may be treated by private physicians and not re ported. In a 1963 survey by the U. S. Department of Health, Education •iOiid Welfare many doctors admit ted they reported only a few of the VD ca.ses they treated, despite the fact law requires VD cases be reported to public health author ities, Response Noilti c.'ai-oiina ptiysiciaiis who leaponueil to Uie survey adinitieU treating 358 cases ol infectious syphilis, yet repoilHng only 60. rney admitted treating 5,3U9 eases of gonorrhea, but reporting only 194. Anotlier illustration by Stoshak also tends to indicate there’s more venerea] disease than is reported. Neighboring Dtuham County, he pointed out, reported 1,706 new cases of gonorrhea last year, com pared with Wake’s 173. He’s con vinced gonorrhea is not that much more rampant in Durham County than in Wake. The difference, he suggested, could be that Durham’s 28 hours a week public venereal disease clinic time is more successful in ferreting out undetected cases than Wake’s AVi hours weekly clinic. C'unveiiient Hours With more convenient clinic hours, people in Durham County are more likely to come in for diagnosis and treatment than in. Wake, Shostak feels. • , Despite the indications that many cases of veneral disease go Linreported, it far outranks other communicable diseases in the number of reported cases in North Carolina. In 1963, there were 9,185 cases of gonorrhea reported in the state and around 3,500 cases of syphilis in both infectious and non-infec- tious stages. Measles — the disease that plac- .ed third — totaled nearly 2,000 re ported cases. Education Essential Stoshak, along witli healtli de partment and school officials, feels education—especially among teenagers is essential in keep ing VD under control. People in Raleigh and outlying towns of Wake don’t believe there is a VD problem here, Stoshak said. “But we find cases in every town all the time. And you can’t expect these people to wear a sign,” he added. The VD education program should not be a sermon on moral ity, he said. “But we’ve got to do more to teach people about the diseases, their danger, and how to detect them,” Stoshak added. DR. GEORGE CORBIN ROLESVILLE PLAYS RED OAK IN SEMI FINALS TONIGHT The Rolesville Boy’s Basketball ream played Spring Hope Tuesday night February 23 in the Eastern Division of the Wake, Nash, Edge- combbe basketball conference.

Consolidated High Nears Completion The new Vaiden Whitley Consol idated High School for eastern Wake County will be completed in June, according to Fred Smith, superintendent of the Wake Coun ty Schools. At the present time, the exterior of the school is almost complete and work is being concentrated on the inside. One of the first sec tions of the interior to be com pleted will be the office of Stan ley Dail, who has been appointed as principal of the new school. Dail, is already at the County Of fice in Raleigh, where he is work ing with county officials in employ ment of the staff and making other preparations toward the beginning of a new school. The Wake County School Board appointed a five-member Whitley School committee in early Jan uary. Dr. Clifford Horton of Wen dell was appointed for a three- year term; C. S. Williams of Knightdale for a two-year term, Mrs. B. L Cousins, also of Knight dale, for a one-year term; June Privette of Rolesville was appoint ed for a two-year term and Harold Jones, also of Rolesville, for a one-year term. As was set up by the County Board, the present Rolesville five-member commit tee will become a three-member advisory committee in July of this year when two members terms ex pire. The Wake Board of Educa tion will seek legislation which will authorize an increase in the Whit ley School committee from five members to not less than six and not more than nine so that each district will have equal represen tation. Thomas Grimes, assistant to the superintendent, speaking recently to a PTA group, gave a curricu lum outline for the new school. Grimes stated that the curriculum for the school is very pliable and can be set up to meet any existing need. He further stated that “Eastern Wake County has about every opportunity that could be found in the Garden of Eden, and it’s up to the people to make use of it.” According to Smith, there are many problems in consolidating three schools, but as time draws near to begin operations at the school for next year, he hopes that they will be worked out to everyone’s satisfaction.
