She stated that the average number of patients per day in March was 18. The hospital operated for a period of 299 days in 1947 and that 67 beds are set up, though 85 can be accom modated. During 1947 there were 641 patients, 87 births, 3,238 labora tory tests made, 211 X-rays made and 407 operations, of which 143 were major operations. Miss Tillett was high in praise of local doctors, and said facilities here ' are as good and better than some hospitals in surrounding areas. “More ■ people are coming each month, which • proves we are growing and gaining in strength,” said the speaker. “However, the battle is not won. We . must keep striving to make Chowan Hospital more attractive and appeal ing to the public. It is everyone’s job to assist the hospital.” , Miss Tillett stated that National i Hospital Day will be observed May , 12, when it is planned to have the ; hospital open for public inspection. Ladies of the Hospital Auxiliary will • be hostesses.

Today—3 million more cars are on the road than pre-war. 1,500,000 more homes have oil heat. Five times as many diesel locomotives now. Twice as many farm tractors and trucks.

EDBCOH, H. C. TWHBDAT I*B. IjCILTH FOR lUj MEASLES Because measles is so common among children, many of us regard it too lightly. Some of us even joke about it and tease the young patient about his spotty complexion. Un aware that measles frequently results in serious complications, many mothers purposely expose their child ren to it to “get it over with.” Measles is rarely a direct cause of death, it is true. The healthy child usually recovers easily and quickly from measles and rarely suffers ser ious complications, but the disease is a particularly serious threat to children unedr five years of age. An attack of measles can weaken the patient, especially a young child, to such an extent that he is an easy prey for pneumonia, serious infec tions of the ear and other grave com plications. So mothers should take every precaution to protect children of pre-school age against the disease, rather than deliberately expose them. If an older child in the household con tracts measles, it is wise to ask the doctor what measures might be tak en to protect other members of the family. He may advise inoculation, particularly of a baby or delicate child in the family. Measles, one of the most easily spread of all diseases, is caused by I a virus. Its early symptoms are similar to those of * cold: red, watery eyes, running nose, sneesing and fev er. It is in this early stage that measles is most contagious. The characteristic rash usually does not 1 appear until about .four days after t these first signs. Therefore, it is a » mistake to put off precautionary and > protective measures until the rash ' appears. 1 At the slightest suspicion of ' measles, the patient should be 1 put to ' bed in a well-ventilated room, away from other members of the fagiily and ’ visitors who might bring into the I room other germs to complicate his r illness. The doctor should be called ■ immediately and he, of course, will > give the best advice on how to care » for the patient. No matter how mild an attack of measles might seem, it , is best treated by the doctor. Medi , cal supervision is especially import ant for the prevention of possible . complications. Measles is considered a “childhood i disease,” but people in any age group, i may catch it. Children are most of , ten its victims because 'most adults have had it in childhood and acquired a lasting immunity with that first attack. However, there are other dis eases that greatly resemble measles, i They are sometimes confused with , measles and in the case of German i measles, even have in part the same name. But they are caused by differ - ent viruses and do not produce im ■ munity to measles and measles does not produce immunity to them. Mia taking one of these other diseases for •! measles is the chief reason for so called "second attacks" of measles.

MOTOR COMPANY, INC. YOUR FRIENDLY CHEVROLET DEALER In 1947, for instance, we put 426 million dollars into replacements and expansion. To do this, wei [(1) used all funds set aside to replace Worn-out equipment; [(2) ploughed back well over half the year’s profits—all that was left after paying dividends; and [(3) dipped heavily into savings put aside in years past to help meet just such needs as we face today. In the seven years 1940 through 1946, we spent well over one billion dollars for needed equipment, mpstly for war needs. Now, in just two years, we are spending another billion dollars. This money comes from the business +.- * . . itself. Money made on the job . goes back into the job . . ' Profits we reinvest for needed produc tion facilities work for everybody.
