But it is of equal im portance that the young people also have their good health if they are to lie successful in their life's endeavor. Certainly an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when it involves protecting the health tvf our youth. It is up to us as par- ents and leaders to help bring! about the awareness of the im-1 portance of .good health and help devise the necessary ways and means of making good health a reality among the boys and girls, i families and communities' throughout Chowan County.
