together.” He paid tribute to Mr.; J
Taylor for his untiring efforts dur-'
j ing the early stages of organization
1 and for his interest in effective
methods in combatting tuberculosis, j
! Present at the meeting was Frank
;W. Webster, executive secretary of |(
I the North Carolina Tuberculosis As
sociation. He was introduced bv
M rs. ,1. A. Moore, who paid tribute
to his work. “If North Carolina!
ever wipes out tuberculosis, and it |
will,” said Mrs. Moore, “much of,
the credit will be due Mr. Web-;
ster for his work in the long fight.” |
At the outset of his remarks Mr.j'
I Webster paid tribute to Mrs. J. A.j
Moore and Mrs. R. C. Holland, fori
, their efforts in fighting tuberculosis,
1 “Interest and faith in their leader
ship,” he said, “is reflected in the '
seal sales in Chowan County.” Mr.
i Webster stated that the income from
jseal sales jumped from $22.'! in 1934:
to $1,319 in 1945. He was veryj
| much encouraged over the interest!
aroused in Chowan County and ex
pressed the belief that much good)
1 will result due to organizing.
Mr. Webster stated progress is
I shown in the fight against tubercul-!
I osis, presenting figures which show
|ed that in 1900 the national death j
'rate caused by tuberculosis was 200 1
I per hundred thousand, while in 19441
I it dropped to 40 per hundred thous
i and. In North Carolina the death
rate dropped to 32.8 per hundred
j thousand and in Chowan County the
rate was 47.6. • He also stated that
| 1944 was the first year North Caro
lina’s rate was lower than the nat
|
tonal rate.
‘Til spite of the reduction in the
death rate,” said Mr. Webster, “56,- |

of tuberculosis in 1945. Os this num
ber, 1,400 were in North Carolina |
and six in Chowan County. During!
the last five years tuberculosis
caused 7,979 deaths in North Caro
lina and 33 in Chowan County.”
In closing his remarks he empha
sized four essential phases of the
work which are necessary to carry
on a successful association. These
are case finding, treatment, after
care and rehabilitation, and protec
tion of the tubercular family against
economic distress.
Before adjourning the meeting
President Parrish appointed two im
portant committees, these being a
I committee to draft a constitution and]
j by-laws and a program and budget]
I committee. Geddes Potter was ap-1
pointed chairman of the constitution
and by-laws committee, together with!
Philip McMullan and W. P. Jones,
W. J. Taylor, Jesse Harrell, Mrs. j

A motion was made and passed to

Four ordinances were also adopted
during the meeting, one of which will

■ Another ordinance has to do with
the regulation and operation of taxi
cabs in Edenton.
One of the ordinances prohibits
parking longer than 10 minutes on
the east side of Broad Street in front
of the Post Office, while the fourth
ordinance provides for the purchase
and display of a city automobile li

ates an automobile in Edenton after
expiration of a residence period of
90 days.

Two Youngsters Go
On Pilfering Spree
Two Edenton youngsters went on
a pilfering spree Thursday night
but were picked up before making
very much progress. The two boys
were Charlie Hudson, Jr., 14, and
James Munden, 17.
After being arrested the boys ad
mitted entering L. E. Emminizer’s
I store on Church Street, Where they
j stole $12.50. The same night the
glass in the door of W. J. Yates’
service station was broken but Mr.
j Yates could not discover anything
missing, it being believed that they
were scared off. The boys were
picked up at the Triangle Service
Station, which, police say, the young
sters admitted intending to enter.

and this guarantee amounts to sub

guaranteed last season.
