Attention is called. t» the mass chest X-ray sur

Chowan Department.
It is calculated tljat 8,260 persons in Chowan
County should Ik; X-Rayed to detect the presence
of tuberculosis. The work will be done by quali
fied physicians and each person X-rayed will re
ceive notification of the finding.
It is a known fact that in many cases a person
has tuberculosisutoat it not aware of it. By being
X-rayed and'fining Vthe disease present in the
early s%ter period of treatment will be
required and obviously the person affecetd will
save expense in being treated.
There is s£)lijtle« -trouble to be X-rayed that
every eligible person in the county should have it
done. It is not necessary to undress and only a few
minutes is required.
With four units in operation in the district, one
will be stationed near the Edenton Police Station
and will be open every day from 10 A. M. to 4
P. M. except Sundays and Mondays from June 2
through July 8.
The unit will also be at Chowan High School
Tune 22. 23. 24. 25 and 26 from 10 A. M. to 4
P. M.. so that it will be more convenient for up
countv citizens. -
This survey is made possible by the District
Health Department, the Board of Commissioners |
of all four counties in the district, the District Tu
berculosis Association and the X. C. State Board .
of Health.
The survey is a splendid opportunity to check
on tuberculosis and every person in the county
should take advantage of it.
Those who- think they can get something for
nothing are entitled to one more thought.
The poor may inherit the earth in the here
after, but their life at present is pretty inconveni
ent in the meantime.

Well, election is onfly a few days off and on Sat
urday the voters will decide who they want in of
fice. There’s been a lot of greeting and handshak
ing during the last few weeks and undoubtedly ev
ery candidate has a feeling of optimism as a result
of conversations with the voters. However, the de
ciding factor will be the marks on the ballots as
they are counted Saturday night. No candidate can
figure he will get all the votes from those who say
“I’m fer you,” ’cause some of ’em are bound to
be agin you. Anyway, candidates and voters alike
will be glad when the election is over.
o
And those candidates who win in the election will
not be much happier than a whole gang of young
sters who this week wind up the business of going
to school for a few months. Seme of ’em are as
eager to learn if they were promoted as candidates
are to learn if they are elected.
o
A pleasant visitor in The Herald office Tuesday
was E. T. Rawlinson. E. T. has been more or less
on the sick list lately and was obliged tc spend a !
couple days in the hospital. He says it’s a big i
pain to lie in bed and look at four walls. And I
say “amen” to that. Here’s hoping he’ll continue !
on the mend.
°t: i 1
According to a letter received frpm Bob Marsh, |
I have a new title. Following s ™? name on the en- ,
i velope was written: “Prints Stuff and What Stuff.”
o ;
From appearances, that gang at the post office
believes in being patriotic. Last week Bill Good- 1
win turned up wearing a pair of blue shoes and a |
little later Ed Parker put in an appearance wearing
a pair of red shoes. Now, in order to complete the i
national colors, either Bill Sexton or Robert Upton ;
will have to dig up enough dough to buy a pair of
white shoes. We just must have red, white and 1
blue.
o
Edenton Methodists had a very enjoyable time
Sunday when they observed homecoming day in
connection with the recent completion of a new
church school building. The Rev. W. L. Freeman,
a former pastor but now located in Scotland Neck
preached at the 11 o’clock service, after which the
entire congregation was invited to a free dinnet
in the new building. Plenty of food was on hand,
so that all who attended had an opportunity to be
filled to the brim. Sunday night’s service was call
ed off. maybe because some of ’em couldn’t make it
back to the church.
o
Edenton’s Colonials are scheduled to play an ex
hibition game with Elizabeth City on Hicks Field
{ Friday night at 8 o’clock. Here’s one who shivered
at. one game played last week—and it wasn’t due to
• closeness of the score. What we need now to watch
baseball games is a little warmer weather —but it’ll
be coming.
o
But cool weather or not. the baseball bug is
crawling. The Edenton Colonials and Rocky
Hock teams are being whipped into shape for the
Albemarle League race. A team has been organiz
ed at Oak Grove and the Edenton Sluggers, colored
team, is also in the business. So it appears that we
I will have plenty baseball this summer after all.

Restoration Set For |
Church At Jamestown
One of the nation's oldest church
es, St Luke’s Episcopal Church,
Smithfield, Va., will be restored to its
original colonial form. A nationwide
campaign to raise $300,000 for the
work is now underway.
Built shortly after the first English
settlement in America, Jamestown
1607, St Luke’s has been described aa
the “only surviving building in the
Jamestown area that bears witness to
the spiritual strength that sustained
the first generation or two of settl
ers.” Reconstruction will be super
vised by officials from Colonial Wil
liamsburg, Inc., and the Philadelphia
Museum of Fine Arts.
Second Drive Planned
For Blood Program
(Continued From Page One)
sent into National Headquarters.
Approximately $1,900 was raised in
the fund raising campaiign, 60 per
cent of the goal, leaving the chapter
$l,lOO short.
This is not the fault of any one per- *
son. The campaign was very ably |
conducted by N. J. George as chair
man and quite a number of very cap
able volunteer workers, who spent a
great amount of time and energy in
making their house-to-house canvass.
However, it is felt that the public in
general was not properly and fully
informed as to the relationship be
tween Red Cross and the blood pro
gram.
Practically everyone contacted gave
something, but the amounts were
small in comparison to former years.
“We have fallen short of our goal
for the past two years and have been
operating on a small surplus left in
the chapter treasury from a few years
past,” stated Dr. A. F. Downum,
chairman of the Chowan County Red
Cross Chapter.
“Recognition and thanks must be
given to the personnel at the Marine
Air Station also,” said Dr. Downum,
“not only for the $314 contributed,
but for the large number of blood
donors who can always be depended
upon to come forward and do much
more than their share in giving blood.
We are most grateful for this fine
spirit of cooperation.”
A follow-up fund raising campaign
to raise the goal deficit of $l,lOO will
be announced within a few days, Dr.
Downum stated, and it is hoped and:
anticipated that the good and loyal!
people of Chowan County will respond
favorably.
