First of Group Held at
Cross Roads Friday
Night
Chowan County’s home and county
agents began a series of community
meetings on Friday night by meeting
with a group of leading farm men
and women in the Cross Roads com
munity. The attendance was rather
small due to weather conditions, but
those attending indicated considerable
interest in the subjects considered.
“The More Livable Home” and
“Planning For the Future” were the
subjects discussed. Mis? Rebecca
Colwell discussed, by aid of slides,
factors involved in the outside sur
roundings and the inside features of
a farm home which would make it
more attractive, comfortable and con
venient for-all members of the fam
ily.
C. W. Overman discussed, aided by
slides, a good home orchard and
what it means to a rural family. He
also covered safety in the ho rue and
briefly the outlook for 1948. Safety
measures on the farm and in the
home were also discussed by both
agents. -
During the month of February it is
planned to hold one of these meet

EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF
TUBERCULOSIS
We are all aware that living in the
twentieth century has any number of
advantages. We have infinitely more
conveniences and leisure time. We
also have advances and discoveries in
medical science that weren’t even sus
pected at the turn of the century.
Through our own negligence, too few
of us benefit from them.
It is almost impossible for the doc
tor to detect tuberculosis in its early
stages without an X-ray of the chest.
At one time, the victim of tuberculo
sis had no choice but to resign him
self to eventual death from the dis
ease. Today, the X-ray is saving the
lives of thousands of patients by help
ing to make early diagnosis of tuber
culosis possible.
We know now that pulmonary tu
berculosis usually can be cured, al
though the earlier it is caught, the
easier it is to cure. We know that
tuberculosis in its early stages gen
erally shows no apparent symptoms;
that it is an insidious disease attack
ing apparently healthy people; that by
the time its symptoms become notice
able to its victims, tuberculosis is no
longer early.
It has been estimated that half a
million people in this country have
active tuberculosis. Only half of
these are known to the health au-'
thorities. Os course, some of these
cases are aware of their disease but
for one reason or another, however
good or bad, have neglected their
medical follow-up. If w'e are to con
trol the spread of tuberculosis, we
must find those 250,000 unknown
cases and help them save, their lives
and the lives of those who might
catch the disease from them.
One of the best ways of finding
these cases is by X-raying apparently
healthy people. Only twenty years
ago, a chest X-ray was still rather
costly and at times difficult to obtain.
But today, due to improvements in
equipment, chest X-rays are accessible
to our entire population. Every adult
should get into the habit of getting a
chest X-ray once a year.
If there are facilities for chest X
rays where you work, or if your com
munity has a mass X-ray project, by
all means take advantage of it. If
not, your doctor can tell you what to
do and where to go for your chest X
ray. Every state has a tuberculosis
association and most cities, towns and
counties have local tuberculosis asso
ciations to aid and advise you.

The manager had been giving his
new secretary her instructions. “And
there’s just one thing more, Miss
Jones,” he said. “There are two
words I don’t want to hear you use
in this office. One is ‘swell,’ the other
is ‘lousy’.”
“Certainly, sir,” answered Miss
Jones, “which are the two words?”

County Agent Advises
On Chick Purchases
County Agent C. W. Overman this
week issued the following advice to
local poultry growers in regard to
the purchase of baby chicks:
“Many thousands of dollars are
wasted in North Carolina every year
by the purchases of chicks from ques
tionable sources. Buy your chicks
only from a known dependable source
such as a nearby reputable breeder
or hatcheryman. Avoid purchasing
chicks from hatchery outlet stores
and from unknown trucks. The out
let stores sometimes handle some
chicks from reputable hatcheries when
these hatcheries have a surplus to
develop. However, the chicks from
these outlets seldom live satisfactor
ily, partly on account of being starved
to death before reaching the pur
chaser. Chicks purchased from un
known truck drivers are practically
always disappointing. Thousands of
white leghorn cockerels have been
sold from trucks in North Carolina
during the past few years and were
represented to be white rocks, white
giants, white wyandottes, etc. .In
many cases, these cockerels have been
sold as pullet chicks and sometimes
written guarantees were given with
the chicks, but after heavy mortality
had been experienced, it was found
that the guarantee was only a fake.
Do not be fooled by cheap chick
prices. You only get what you pay
for. Buy chicks on a quality basis
and not on a price basis.”
