Ringworm Reported
In Health District
Clinics For Treatment In
Health Office Mondays
From 2 to 3 P. M.
Dr. B. B. McGuire, district health
officer, reports that a considerable
number of cases of scalp ringworm
have been found among school and
pre-school children in all counties of
the district.
This disease is communicable from
person to person and the health of
ficer is responsible for the control of
communicable diseases in the schools.
Children with the disease are permit
ted to continue in school with the dis
ease provided the parents actively
treat it, and provided that the chil
dren wear a cap at all times in order
to prevent its spread.
All parents, both white and colored,
should carefully look their children’s
heads over and if the child has one or
more spots from which the hair is
disappearing or has disappeared, they
should be taken to the clinic. The
disease is far more common in boys
than in girls. ,
The clinics will be held on Mondays
from 2 to 3 P. M. at the Edenton
Health Office; at Hertford 2 to 3 P. M.
at the Health Center on Tuesdays, and
at Elizabeth City each Monday
through Friday at 4 P. M.
P. 0. Officials Claim
Improved Service
(Continued From Page One)
the afternoon will be advanced for
morning delivery. For example, par
cel post mailed in Rocky Mount at 6
P. M. on Friday for rural delivery at
either Edenton or Hertford cannot be
delivered until the following Monday
under the present service. Our recom
mendation envisions connecting all of
the night trains and truck routes op
erating into Rocky Mount and deliv
ering these same mails to the patrons
the following morning for delivery the
same day.
“We also propose to establish a
truck route carrying all classes of
mail between Greensboro and Rocky
Mount, which should result in a let
ter being mailed at Asheville at 3:30
P. M. and being delivered at every
point in Eastern North Carolina the
following morning. In turn, mail dis
patched byway of the HPO at 4:13
P. M. or 4:38 P. M. will make morn
ing delivery at points as far west as
Black Mountain, Newland, Charlotte,
Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Boone,
etc. '
“This will be a decided improve
ment in view of the fact that it fre- •
quently takes 4 or 5 days for parcel ■
post to come from either Charlotte or
Greensboro to the eastern part of the
State, with the same delays being ex
perienced with westbound movement
of the mails.
“The Norfolk Southern train which
operated for years through this area
did not consider either convenient re
ceipts or dispatches and was utilized
principally because no other service
was available. The construction of |
new and excellent highways rendered
the continued operation of this mail
train inadvisable, but we regret to
state that the truck service put on to
supersede this train operated on the
same obsolete schedule and resulted
in the exceptional delays referred to
above. The new truck and highway
post office schedules will actually ad
vance the receipt and dispatch of a
great majority of the mail at least 24
hours in delivery.
“We have also reduced the fre
quency of certain star routes to op
erate one round-trip a day instead of
two; and, again for the simple rea
son that at least 95 per cent of all
classes of mail for the morning trip
to these various offices and the after
noon dispatch will affect the same ul
timate delivery as the midday dis
patch.
“In summation we found that the
Norfolk to Raleigh truck route was'
supposed to be operating a tractor
trailer between Raleigh and Greenville
and was costing the taxpayers ap
proximately $12,500 a year. It de
velops that the contractor actually did
not even provide this service and re
ceived a sum of $25,000 in a two-year
period for which the Post Office De
partment received no advantage. This
was the most glaring example of
waste which we found but we person
ally observed the operation of some of
these routes and found that the star
route contractors were traveling up
and down the road with such small
amounts of mail and so little advant
age to the mailing public that their
continued operatioh would be almost
criminal.
“In closing, : I wish to assure you
that this offict and that of the Gen
eral Superintendent in Washington,
D. C., will stand ready to correct any
deficiencies. We personally believe
that a great deal of this agitation has
been fomented] by some of the star
route contractors who have suffered a
loss in pay ani who apparently have
not hesitated taj distort the picture.
“We wish to thank both you and
Mr. Oglesby fdr your courtesy and
forbearance with us in our sincere at
tempt, to revisefe hopelessly antiquat
ed postal system.”

we are the working partner of the farmer.
We believe most firmly in the future of this partnership,,, V
* in its ability to grow and to prosper in the pursuit
