SECTION TWO- North Carolina Near Bottom In Rate Os Polio For Five Years Official Figures Made Public By N. C. Board Os Health North Carolina ranked near the bot tom of the list of states in polio inci dence during the last five years, U. S. Public Health Service statistics show. Standing 45th among the 48 states and the District of Columbia in polio case rate, North Carolina’s record as a low polio prevalence state was bet tered only by Georgia, in 46th place; Alabama in 47th; Pennsylvania in 48th and South Carolina on the bottom rung of the ladder. These official figures were publish ed by the National Association for In fantile Paralysis, and were made pub lic through the office of the North Carolina Board of Health, at the re quest of Hugh Morton of Wilmington and Linville, chairman of the State Advertising Committee of the Depart- 1 ment of Conservation and Develop-j ment. “North Carolina’s tourist industry has suffered unduly in the past be- 1 cause in some manner the public has | gotten the impression that North Car olina was one of the worst polio : states”, Mr. Morton said. ) “Statistics prove that actually North Carolina is one of the safest places in the nation, insofar as exposure to po lio is concerned,” he continued. Even in 1953, when there was an abnormal polio incidence in three North Carolina counties, there were 21 other states with greater polio case, rate than the Tar Heel State, based number of cases per 100,000 popula tion. Nonetheless, polio reports were widely quoted during the summer and many prospective tourists stayed away from North Carolina, many actually shifting vacation plans to visit states with a much higher polio rate than North Carolina, Morton said. Weekly Devotional I Column By James Mackenzie One of the best of the many re ligious journals that come to me from week to week is “The People’s Pul pit,” edited by Dr. R. Burton Mignard, the well-known Bible scholar and pas-' toral counselor. In the current issue Dr. Mignard runs an editorial on “Loy- 1 alty” that I feel is particularly appli-. cable to conditions here in Edenton. Quoting I Corinthians 4:2: “More-' over it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful," Dr. Mignard writes: “A priceless commodity of ten lacking in the Lord’s people is loy alty and faithfulness. The Scriptures declare that loyalty is a quality that is required in a steward (a Christian put in trust with the Gospel), there fore, nothing less can please our Lord, who was faithful unto death, even the death of the cross. “To what is the believer to be faith ful? According to the text he is to be faithful to his work as a steward (dispensing the Gospel). There are a number of ways whereby this required faithfulness may mind expression: wit nessing to others about the Lord Je sus, systematically giving to the Lord’s work, loyally supporting the local church with prayer and consist-1 ent attendance. A great evil among Christians is the false idea of remain- j ing aloof from any one Bible-believing church, and moving on Sundays from one preacher to another.

Like buck ling broncoes, they refuse to be har nassed and put to good use. The be liever has a freedom from sin, but not from Christ and His work.” I Let us apply what Dr. Mignard has to say to conditions here in Edenton. I wonder if the Lord is pleased with folk who refuse to settle down to any one church, but tramp from one to another; like parasites they expect and receive spiritual help from each church, but never add anything to its j ministry, and never shoulder any of its burdens. A newcomer to any church is extended a hearty welcome, and made the object of special attention. And it is only for this hospitality, this special attention, that the church tramD goes to church at all. When he has been attending long enough to be come “just a worshipper,” and the special attention is no longer accord ed him, he moves on to another church and the cycle begins again. Os the same species is our local, home-grown variety of “Nags Head Christian.” This is the church-mem ber who once made a solemn vow be fore God and man to support his church in its worship and its work to the best of his ability. But he must have had his fingers crossed when he did it. Church, to him, is where you go when you don’t have anything else to do. (And don’t you Roman Cath • olics become too smug as you read this. I have run across at least six > j Roman Catholic families while visit ' ing around Edenton who haven’t been ! | inside a church for years and years, • and who have never been inside the .local church of their denomination). But getting back to where I was be fore the parentheses; your church must come first in your life if you would be a loyal servant of Jesus Christ. Instead of arranging your church attendance to fit your plans, you should make your plans so they won’t interfere with your church at tendance. When the doors of your church are open, that’s where you be long, uniting your testimony with that of other Christians, and rendering un to the Lord the praise and thanks He so much desires and deserves.

Summe'i heat in most of the United States in just as hot as tropical heat. And it’ll not an “unusual” summer. It’s every summer. It’s time we took some les sons from our friends in the tropics—■ time to learn how to live with the heat we can’t explain away. Let’s talk a walk through a town that’s right on the equator. Notice the way the people walking slowly on the street are dressed? Men hi white that reflects the sun’s rays, wo men in long sleeved blouses and cot ton sarongs to the ankles—clothes thal cover up, but fit easily, allowing the p air to circulate. Notice that just 'about everyone wears some sort of covering, or carries a parasol. Now let’s go into this little house al most hidden by green, leafy trees. It’s noontime, and everyone is taking a siesta—if not sleeping, at least lying | down for a short rest in the shade. I When they get up, they’ll have a show er, sluicing themselves with tepid wa iter from that huge pottery jar. They may do this three or four times a day, and in between they’ll frequently bathe head and arms. | Dinner time comes late, in the com parative cool of the evening.

The cooling properties of hot spices are in the category of hitting your self on the head with a hammer. It feels so good when you stop. We may not want to adopt that tropic custom, but there are some that may well add to our summer comfort: clothes that protect from the sun’s heat, yet al low air to circulate on the skin; food that is appetizing, yet provides all the necessary nutrients; frequent bathing in tepid water. The mid-day siesta may not always be practical, but we can walk, not run. on the shady side of the street. We can try to get plen ty of rest. Most important, we can admit that it’s hot, and adjust to the fact instead of fighting it I OUTHEfITSEM fltL!| Enjoy a houseful of heat with so little fuel - Furnace Heat-Ns costly pipes or registers te Install er deoil MONET BACK GUARANTEEM OIL o* GAS HEATERS IPjj I two-in-one' heatmaker I 4 times'hotter Kapil OYER YOUR FLOORSI I saa you* niarist MAUR da writr simur. crntraua. m iff OMtigV'J 1 w Him - I W— EEI ■IMIEUHHW ■HE For proof - make the Siegler MATCH-TEST a‘ your dealer RR l-TROPICAL HOOP J CARBON-TREE BURNtPS PORCELAIN ENAMEL FINISH Quinn Furniture Company Capsule Facts On ’53 Traffic Accidents | Os the 1,118 persons killed in traf fid accidents in North Carolina las' ( year, 964 met their fate on rural road-, ways, while 164 died in mishaps on city or village streets.
