Vmvr^With Success That Chowan County is in sympathy with the fight against infantile paralysis is reflected in the response made to the March of Dimes appeal during January. Ac- cording to a report Tuesday of this week, contributions j amountd to $1,830.18, which is only $163.82 short of the county's goal set by William H. Coffield Post. No. 9280. Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Chowanoke Council, No. 54. Degree of Pocahontas, co-sponsors of the 1954 March of Dimes drive. The report is not complete and enough reports are still awaited to be reasonably certain the $2,000 goal will be realized. The two sponsoring organizations have been very enthusiastic during the drive, so that their efforts will be crowned with success. Not only are they them selves pleased that the goal is in sight, but the chairman of the Chowan County Chapter of the National Founda tion For Infantile Paralysis is very proud of the two or ganizations for the interest they have taken and, of course, the amount raised to fight polio at a time when victory over the dread disease appears so near. As has been said before. Chowan County has been very fortunate in not being stricken with a polio epidemic, but if it should happen to become a victim, there should be no embarrassment to request State financial aid, for this year, and in previous years. Chowan County has credit ably supported the march of Dimes. Not only are those who worked in the drive, but those who made contributions are to be congratulated. Conffratulations Very few couples are able to escape the ravages of time in order to be united in marriage for half a cen tury, but such is the good fortune of Mr. and Mrs. J. A, Webb, who on Sunday celebrated their golden wedding an niversary at their home in the Veopim section In honor of the event many of their friends visited at the borne Sunday to nay their respects and extend con gratulations to this splendid couple. The Herald joins in extending its congratulations and the hope that they will : enjoy many more years together. Necessary Expense Speaking about the ravage of time, the Court House j roof is the latest victim. The County Commissioners j were more or less stunned Monday to learn that it is in bad shape, in fact so bad that a new roof is absolutely necessary for proper preservation of the building. The ceiling of the panel room has been damaged by water seeping through the roof recently, which was rea- j son to make an investigation and to discover the present condition. The cost to re id ace the roof is estimated at a little over | a thousand dollars, which is hard to find. However, this cost will be far less than will be necessary if the roof continues to leak and cause further damage to the in terior of the priceless building. Even though the present roof is only about 15 years old, the Court House will soon sport a new covering. I 1. It's the off-season. You can spare your equipment more readily. 2.

C„ THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1954. Heard & Seen] By, “Buff" j So far as I know I haven’t lost any of my near rela tives lately, but just the same the other day I received a beautiful card with “With Deepest Sympathy” engraved on the cover. The sympathy card was from Dr. Lloyd L. Hobbs of Blacksburg, Va., and on the inside he wrote the following note: “1 send this in seriousness, knowing that you have al ways been an honest, law-abiding citizen. It seems that that highly respected North Carolina State Highway Pa trol has made a mistake. I hope they will admit their mistake. There are many places that motorists shy around because they feel that they are treated unjustly. I hope this will never happen to North Carolina. Having known you all these years. I am sure it was a mistake. I also have great respect for the State Patrol of North Carolina, for they have set a fine record in the past.” Well, whether the patrolman who arrested me admits he made a mistake or not, he most certainly did when he claimed i Was driving 70 miles per hour. I hope his con science is as much at ease as mine is in denying the charge of speeding. Incidentally, one of my friends told file the other day she would not have been so much sur prised had I been arrested for blocking traffic instead of | being charged with driving 70 miles per hour. Maybe I better go to walking. o Every now and then we get complaints that a subscrib er isn't getting The Herald. We expect two complaints , in short Order, for the papers of Mrs. Claudia White and .1. E. Sanderson have been returned. Anyone knowing i. the addresses of these two people and letting me know will help in getting the paper to them, o Spec Jones, Chowan County’s new tax supervisor, is rapidly getting acquainted with the work of his office and in giving in property for taxes he says he don’t want 1 . anybody to list more property than they have and at the I same time he wants to see listed ALL of the property—l I which is as it should be. He's learning a lot about the office and, he says, “The only thing I knew about taxes before taking office was paying them.” That’s about all a lot of us also know about the work in connection with arriving at tax figures. o Well, on Tuesday the groundhog was supposed to ven ture out of his hole. In some places he saw his shadow and at others not, so in that situation, what should we expect? Like a television commentator said Tuesday, ( “let each groundhog take care of himself.” And that’s ! j what we’ll have to do, groundhog or not. o ] At any rate, the weather the last few days has been more like the kind we expect in “the Sunny South.” If ( it keeps up we can expect the fishermen to be trying , their luck. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard any re- i ports. : Red Men old timers are expected to turn out for the i, Red Men’s meeting Monday night, February 15, when | Chowan Tribe will observe Past Sachems’ Night. The', old-timers will fill the stumps for the meeting, so if they j i get through in time there’ll no doubt be some interesting '< reminiscing at the meeting. o ( Together with several other Edenton Shriners, I at- . tended the Shrine Ceremonial in New Bern Thursday of • last week. The Edenton High School Band was among ; quite a few other high school bands in the parade, but 1 despite my modesty, here's one who thinks the Edenton , 1 Band was as good as any in the parade, even if not as !' large as some of the others. The youngsters made Eden « tonkins proud of ’em. -———o VF'.V and Pocahontas members were agreeably sur- * prised Saturday when a road Wo‘1: on North Broad Street arid YFW Auxiliary and Pocahontas members stood by., buckets in the business'section to solicit March of Dimes ' ( I contributions. The scheme netted $428.44. which was far | ] I beyond the fondest expectations. One motorist said it 1 was the umpteenth road block he ran into during his day’s ] traveling. o For the benefit of tax payers who want help in filing < their State income tax returns, Garland B. Germain will I be in George Twiddy’s office each Wednesday morning 1 from 9 to 12 o’clock until March 8, when he will be there 1 each day until March 15. Need any help? Better go . see him!

RedAfi^ Would Find Armyj Medical Men Ready If an atomic bomb suddenly explod- j ed over a busy American city, tens of thousands of civilians’ lives might de- i pend on the Army Medical Corps. i In event of an enemy atomic attack, hundreds of Army doctors, nurses/ and medical corpsmen could spring in to action immediately to aid injured civilians. With new effective treat-1 ment for bums, they could save thous ands of lives Which otherwise might be lost from lack of quick professional care. The Army Medical Service aids di-, saster victims wherever possible if the j relief job gets beyond the capabilities, of civilian hospitals. Experts estimate that 30,000 to 50,- 000 bum cases would result if an atomic bomb were dropped on an aver-, age-sized American city. The blast also would damage or destroy most hospitals near the “ground zero” and kill or injure many doctors and nurs-1 i es - One skilled surgeon, using vaseline rrauze bandage treatment, could han dle only 25 to 30 severe burn cases in one day. I The Armv’s new treatment not only is faster and more effective, but it also reouires less professional care than other methods. Where possible, | burn patients are taught to treat • themselves even during the critical period. Yrmv doctors developed two tvp°s of treatment in three ven*s of re-' search at Rrooke Army Medical Cen ter. Fort Sam Houston Texas. Neith er method uses medication on the sur face of h-mq. ( The .■>•••„, treatment calls for expos ing the burned surface to warm, dry: air. A. ’ crust forms in 24 hours. [ Then tlm "atient gets ~ ]-jg-p) caloric/ nutritious diet. Use of penicillin and other antibiotic drugs prevent infec tion. This method—for hums affect mg 15 to 20 nor cent of the body sur face—is less nainful and heals more rapidly than the vaseline gauze band age method. For more extensive burns, the Armv I recommends the pressure treatment, i In this method, a special dressing is used which requires no change until second degree burns are healed or third degree burns are ready for skin grafting. Federal Civil Defense Administra tion has adonted the Army’s burn treatment methods and is stockpiling the special dressings for immediate use in case of an atomic attack. Proof of effectiveness of new Army methods was demonstrated after a "lane crash near Moses Lake, Wash ington. in 1952. An S.O.S. to Brooke Army Medical Center brought a doc tor in a jet plane to give preliminary treatment to the suffering crash vic tims. Next, the patients were flown to Brooke where the Army’s bum treatment saved six of the eight se verely burned casualties. The new treatment is only one of manv Armv medical developments which can hein civilians injured in di farters. Mobile Army Surgical Hos nitals saved so many soldiers’ lives in the Korean war that New Yorks Civil Defense Administration has adopted them for use in possible atomic at tacks. Many other developments resulting from the Army’s medical research program save countless lives daily. Emergency Call Meek Voice Doctor, this is Mr. Henpeck. My wife has just dislocated her jaw.
