In many cases items regularly sell ing for much over a dollar have been reduced to an even dollar during these three days, and in many other cases items have been reduced especially for Dollar Days. Observance of Dollar Days was agreed upon a few weeks ago, to be held in connection with the fair, there by offering money-saving values and at the same time calculated to bring many customers into the various stores to become better acquainted.

To cut down on the frightful toll in lives and suffering which tuber culosis takes, we must prevent the spread of the disease from person to person. To check the spread of tuberculosis, everyone who has the disease in an active form must be found and placed under treatment. It is estimated that there are half a million cases of tuberculosis in this country. Os this total, only half are known to the health authorities. This means that there remains a quarter of a million “unknown cases”—people not known to the health authorities, most of whom are not under treatment and many of whom do not even know they are ill. A person can have tuberculosis without knowing it. The onset of tu berculosis is usually slow and the di sease may be in an advanced stage . when the symptoms become obvious. I Therefore, the search for unknown ONE TABLE OF GOSSARD Corsets and Corselettes Heavy 'Bound In All Sizes ißut Not In Every Style GIRDLE SIZE—26 TO 40 CORSELETTE SIZE—37 TO 48 SB.OO, SIO.OO, $12.50 Values $5.00 ONE TABLE OF BRAS IN ALL SIZES Warner, Gossard and Best Form In All Sizes.

And one of the ma jor aids in finding unknown cases of tuberculosis is the chest X-ray. The chest X-ray, a “photograph” of I 1 a person’s lungs, can show up sus picious shadows in the lungs of a sick person, before the victim feels . ill or shows symptoms of the disease. I The X-ray is widely used today in I searching out unknown cases of tu berculosis among large groups of ap parently healthy people. The develop ment of X-ray machines using minia ture film has made possible the screening test even of whole communi ties in comparatively short periods of time. When suspicious shadows show up on the small film, a larger film is taken for more detailed study. If the larger film then indicates signs of di sease, further tests are made before final diagnosis. If a diagnosis of tuberculosis is made, steps can be taken to help that person get prompt, treatment. The patient thus has a better chance of regaining his health than if the disease had gone on undis covered until it reached an advanced stage. At the same time, the chances of his spreading TB are reduced when the disease is discovered early. If every adult had a chest X-ray at least once a year, there would be no “unknown cases” of tuberculosis, , and most cases of the disease would be discovered in an early stage. When that happens, we shall be a long way toward eradicating tuberculosis in this country.

Special Lot of Black Crepe GOWNS To Go For $1.98 One Special Rack of Blouses Drastically Reduced For DOLLAR DAYS SILKS - COTTONS - PLAIDS AND PLAIN Farmers To Vote i On “Nickels” Plan j Referendum Is Schedul-| ed To Be Held No vember 3 Farmers have been hearing a lot lately about ‘.Nickels For Know How.” What’s it all about? “Nickels for Know How” is a plan to expand agricultural research and teaching in North Carolina through a farmer contribution of five cents per ton on all feed and fertilizer sold in the State. The idea was originated by farm leaders of the State. The 1951 Gen eral Assembly passed an enabling act that gives farm people the opportuni ty to contribute directly for expanded research and education if they approve it. in a referendum to be held Novem ber 3. The referendum is to be con ducted by the North Carolina Grange and Farm Bureau and the Agricultural Foundation, Inc., at State College. The Agricultural Foundation, inci dentally, is a corporation made up of farmers and farm leaders for the pur pose of receiving gifts or contribu tions to support an expanding pro gram of research and education. Farm leaders say North has such a varied climate and agri culture that more money is needed to solve the insect, disease, and weed problems of farmers. Even the gem erous appropriations made by the ■ last two legislatures fall far short i of the needs. Since farm people can- I not. expect more than their share of Extra Special For Fair Week I Dorothy Gray Solon Cold Cream 1 and Dry Skin Cleanser 1 $2.25 SIZE.

In the referendum, all persons who use feed or fertilizer, and their wives or husbands, will be eligible to vote. FFA, NFA, and 4-H Club members with crop or livestock projects of their own are also eligible. The voting on November 3 will be conducted from 6:30 A. M., to 6:30 P. M., at the polling place used in the election of PMA committeemen. No special registration is required. If approved by a two-thirds ma jority of those voting, the plan will be effective for three years. George E. Halstead New Board Health Chairman The District Board of Health met at the Elizabeth City Health Center on October 9. George E. Halstead was elected chairman of the board to fill the vacancy caused by the recent resignation of S. G. Etheridge, who resigned due to ill health. The Board accepted with deep re gret the resignation of Mr. Ether idge, who has been so conscientious and valuable a worker in the cause of public health in the district- for some years past. V. N. Darden of Hert ford was elected vice chairman of the Board. John T. Stevenson of Eliza beth City was elected to serve the unexpired term of Mr. Etheridge as a pharmacist member. “GHOST” IN CELLAR Staunton, Va.—Hearing eerie noises in the Thomrose Cemetery, people naturally thought of ghosts.
