STATE CAPITAL KEYHOLES By BESS HINTON SILVER AMUSING—AIong about this time _of the year preceding State-wide pri ”maries, candidates for the big posts begin to visit Washington to ascer tain how they stand with the boys from the home-State who have prov ed their vote-getting ability. So far, not a single one has returned discouraged. The lads who get to Congress must be good at politics and must be better to stay there. They know better than to give office seek tet-eM the impression that his Congress lUHE is not his friend. It’s the old of science and skill but it still works. SCRAPPING North Carolina power industries are going after the Rayburn bill, now in the United States Senate, out in the open. Some of the companies are running adver tisements in the State newspapers giving the public their side of the case. Privately some power officials express the opinion that there is so much of the undesirable in the meas ure to put unprecedented control of local business in the hands • of the Federal Power Commission that the public can be trusted to decide against the Rayburn bill. Be that as it may, Tar Heel members of Con gress have reported that their mail has been filled with protests against ( the power control bill.. IN THE MAKING—It now appears that Wrightsville Beach, near Wil mington, may be given a new lease f on life by the building of a bridge to the island and constructing a road on the sound side beyond the center of public attraction. New Hanover county commissioners have asked the State Highway and Public Works Commission to spend the money to be allocated for general road purposes in their county on the Wrightsville Beach project. Since resort business means so much to this county by the sea, it is not improbable that the commission may grant the request. In that event you will be able to drive your car right up to dear old Wrightsville, something no living be ing has ever done before. NEUTRAL—As things are now ■* snapping up it appears the Ehring haus administration will be neutral in the coming gubernatorial primary. In 1932 charges were hurled that the Gardner forces favored Ehringhaus over his opponent R. T. Fountain. This time Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham and Clyde R. Hoey, of Shel by, brother-in-law of former Gover nor Gardner, are considered the chief contenders for the red leather chair * ***e M anp ' on on Blount Street in gs Raleigh, but so far there has been no that the present Governor desires to play favorites. In fact, different key men in the Ehringhaus organization are favoring first one and then the other of the two big shot candidates.

H. COWARD County Auditor 'THE effectiveness of a county ■*" health department is deter mined in a large measure by the number of people served in a practical way. They must see the personal benefits to be de- Not a great per cent of adults are inclined to seek this type of service for themselves. With most of them it is dire necessity or some health problem affecting their children which takes them to their county health department. It is the preference of far too many of them, it seems, that health department activities be confined to children. Even so, this is one of the best mediums through which to disseminate County Health Programs. Bene fited children become, in due season, adult boosters. Conse quently, mouth health programs, in my opinion, should he one of the principal activities of a county health department. We take much pride in the fact that the Pitt County Health Department was one of the first established in the State. It has been liberally supported and efficiently operated. We are so well pleased with its work that the appropriation for this year is more than double that of last year. However, not until 1929, when we instituted mouth health programs, as directed by the State Board of Health, did we find a medium through which the masses could see direct results of supporting the County Health Department. In this year, we contracted with the State Board of Health, the county agreeing to pay a part of the expenses, to send a school dentist to the county for a given number of weeks, this varying with the amount appropriated. This year we have increased our appropria tion to double the amount? pro vided for dental services in 1929. The school dentist takes mouth health messages to .nil children attending school, white or col ored. With members of the County Board of Commissioners I have visited schools where mouth health programs were in progress, and have seen the school dentist teach health so that chil dren could understand. We have seen him relieve suffering of chil dren from poor families, some of whom very likely had never be fore heard of a dentist. We have seen him instill in the minds of children of parents who were able to pay for dental services, but had themselves not been taught the importance of mouth health, the immediate and con stant need for periodie visits to Honorary pallbearers were: D. B. Liles, W. J. Berryman, Dr. L. P. Williams, Rev. W. F. Walters, R. D. Dixon, Georg* Lassiter, W. S. Sum merell, H. B. Jones, L. A. Ashley, T. J. Wilder, John M. Harrell, W. I. Cozzens, Jim Perry, J. A. Mi tabes or, B. fIL Valentin*, 0. V. Oliver, and J. D. Satterfield. Active pallbearers were: E. I. War ren, W. D. Holmes, Ernest White, E. W. Spires, Ike Harrell, and 0. B. Perry. J. E. Jackson’s Brother Buried In Hertford Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon in Hertford for Walter Jackson, 44, of Portsmouth, Va., who died Sunday in the Veterans Relief Hospital at Hampton, Va. Mr. Jack son was a brother of J. Ernest Jack son, of Edenton, and had been en gaged in the insurance business. Besides his mother, Mrs. L. R. Howell, near Hertford, the deceased is survived by two sisters and four brothers as follows: Mrs. Lillie Belle Perry and Mrs. J. Pearce Eves, of Elizabeth City; J. Ernest Jackson, of Edenton, R. G. Jackson, of Charlotte, G. W. Jackson and D. M. Jackson, of Hertford. The Chowan Motor Company, of which J. Ernest Jackson is president, was closed Tuesday to enable the employes to attend the funeral. Better Housing Day Observed June 15th Farm representatives of the Fed eral Housing Administration are at tempting to make Better Housing Day, June 15, one of importance in rural communities. Although the farmers are busy in the fields at this season of the year, the women’s di visions of many localities are spon soring programs for this occasion. National Better Housing Day is THE CHOWAN HERALD* EDENTON, N. C, THURSDAY, TUNE 6, 1985 the family dentist, as well as the importance of personal eare of mmg? > ; , * ■/ ■ J. H. COWARD the teeth. We were particularly impressed as we saw the dentist explain every correction and show to the patient and those looking on why certain correc tions were necessary. He war teaching by illustration and these illustrations remain with the children as constant reminders of mouth health. Further, it was conclusive evidence to those officials present (members of the appropriating body) that reports* which the school dentist rendered to them told only in part of the good results accomplished. I believe the service is definite ly improving the health condi tions by removing diseased teeth,, relieving infections, saving the permanent teeth of those chil dren whose parents are unable to pay for dental services; teaching the value of proper foods grown at home; the value of milk, and the value of cleanliness inside and out. Repeaters in school are being reduced, thereby saving the taxpayers many dollars. Mouth health teaching is pop ular with the masses in Pitt County. It is demanded by their children. Unusual as it may seem, I have seen several chil dren receiving treatment, each demanding in no uncertain terras that no one else get his turn, and net one of them complained of pain. They will be health-minded men and women tomorrow, and boosters for public health and the County Health Department. There is no better way to build a successful county health depart ment than to make it popular with the masses —there is no bet ter way to make it popular with the masses than through mouth health teaching. . being recognized throughout the . country. Well over 1,009 model . homes will be constructed following ground-breaking exercises to be held oa that day. These model homes, in . moot cases, will be sold and financed , through the Mutual Mortgage Insur , ance Plan *f the Federal Housing Administration. In rural communities where model houses are not to be erected, other celebrations will be held in recogni tion of the Better Housing program. Some towns will be visited by demon stration trucks and exhibits held. Demonstration trucks are touring I the states of Oregon, Idaho and Washington to assist in creating in , terest in farm programs of the Fed . eral Housing Administration. ! The trucks are sponsored by power ■ companies and building and plumbing supply concerns, and the equipment carried in the cars is demonstrated at each place. One or more types of water systems are exhibited. Home lighting plants, plumbing fixtures and I a model of a septic tank are gener , ally carried. Similar tours are being organized in other sections of the country to enable the residents of rural districts to .pee the sort of improvements which may be made to their property.

The service was in charge of Mrs. Rose Penny, a Christian church preacher. Mrs. Twiddy had been a resident of Eden ton 15 years, moving here from Tyr rell County. Th# deceased is survived by her husband, J. Tom Twiddy, and one son, T. F. Twiddy. A sister, Lovine Twiddy, of Edenton, also survives. j Meet Your Friends At | Habit’s Beer Garden '** FOR | ICE COLD BEER !
