"Lower wholesale prices for build ing products and growing stress on the use of quality materials should greatly benefit North Carolina home owners planning repairs this year,” declared A. T. Wintersgill, chairman oi the Council’s residential construc tion committee. Approximately two of every five homes in this region will be redecora ted, either inside or out, during the year, the report showed. Roofs will he repaired or replaced on one of every six, and every six of 100 are due for carpentry work. 'Seven of everv 100 homes Will have plumbing repaired, bathrooms tiled or showers installed, the report said. Miscellaneous interior repairs will be made in six of every 100 dwellings. Home repairs will be easier on the 1950 family budget because of a de 'cline of more than five per cent in wholesale costs of building materials, in comparison with prices at the be- VOTE FOR' J.

Home owners also will 'be able to insist on such quality materials as clay tile for repair work, as a resui of the pres ent buyers’ market, it pointed out.

'He frequently talks of this in temvs of planning for hds childrens’ “advan tages” which he himself did not, or could not, enjoy. Probably he thinks in terms of providing them with a better education than his own, per haps more material benefits and lux uries. The wise parent at the some time bears in mind that his child must have and keep sound health to enjoy these advantages fully. {Safeguarding the child’s health can begin even before birth, when his mother places herself under the doc tor’s care early in her pregnancy. The mother’s regulated diet, rest, and ex ercise give her the best chance of hav ing a healthy baby. Shortly after the child is bom, the doctor will advise that he be immu nized, preferably during the first nine months of his life, again* a number of common diseases to which his lit tle body is vulnerable.

These, however, have not been sufficiently tested and their specific power is not yet known. However, if an epidemic pf one of the diseases breaks out or is threatened in the community, the doc tor will probably advise injections with the vaccine designed for the par ticular disease, even if the vaccine does not always confer complete im munity. Years ago, with the exception of smallpox vaccination, there were few specific vaccines to protect very young children against the so-called common diseases of infancy and child hood. 'But with the availability of vaccines today, many diseases to which parents were at one time re signed are no longer necessary or in evitable. Doctors stress that the older a child is when “babyhood” or “child hood” diseases strike, the better chance he has of recovery and the less chahce there is of his suffering harm ful after-effects which the diseases sometime leave. Immunization is a comparatively modem development which helps par- I WANTED! Pine and Cypress Logs $45.00 Per 1,000 and up Horner’s Mill Southern Avenue Extended ELIZABETH CITY, N. C.

Should war be declared tomorrow, would we be too young to fight? . I wonder how many of the citizens of Chowan County have answered this question. It is my sincere belief that if you really will stop to think, you will definitely realize that it takes young blood to fight- Be it in defense of our nation in time of war, or be it in taking some of the responsibility of our local affairs in the County and in the State- If we are not taught by you, our elders of today, while we are young, what kind of government will we have in years to come after the elders have played out and then drop the responsibility into \ our hands? You could have men with will power to fight to advancement for the County and the State if you will understand that we need your support to prove to you just what we can do. Years have passed and action has yet to be taken on some of the affairs for the better ment of our County. Should we keep sending the same ones again and again who have had the opportunity to make advancement and who have nqt, or are we going to awaken and give support to the younger , generation who is determined to fight for advancement for the people now and for tiie people to come? ' It is inevitable for us to hide the shame anH disgrace thrown on us. Some, look down on us as being too young to have the responsibility of taking part in our government. Yet we are expected in time of war to shoulder a rifle, deep and tramp in mud,jand fight to kill or to be killed. We have shown you what young men can do in the time of war and with your vote and support we can show you that wo can fight all the more harder and willingly for a County and State to be recognized throughout the Country.
