Thursday over in Camden Coun
ty. One of the highlights of the
meeting was the decision to con
tinue the woodland clinic that
was sponsored for Vocational-
Agricultural students in the_dis
trict for the first time this past
year. Interest was high among
the students and Agriculture
teachers in the clinic. In fact
it was the first clinic of this
type held in the Eastern part
of the United States that we
know of. The contest involved
studying the many phases of
management needed on our
woodland. Over 54% of * the
land in the county is woodland
and we are missing a lot of
potential revenue from it from
managing it as it should be.
Group Participation
Sherlon Layton, Kermit Perry,
Lloyd Bass and C. A. Bass met'
Tuesday night at the Rocky
Hock Community Building to
complete plans to construct a
group ditch through their farms.
This is one method to solve a
group problem that is too large
for one person to undertake by
himself or is a community type
oroblem, that involves several
farms. The people may get to
gether in the form of a group
and pool their resources to solve
the one large problem.

Mrs. Bert Tyson, N. C. Divi
sion staff member and field
consultant for the area, directed j
the workshop, which began at
10:30 A. M. and adjourned at 3
P. M. During the business ses
sion it was announced that the
N C. Cancer Society is approxi
mately SIO,OOO behind in its
goal for 1962 and executive sec
retaries were asked to send the!
final report of their respective
county crusade for cancer fund i
to headquarters by August 31. j
It was also announced that the j
annual executive secretaries con
ference will be held October 20'
at the Sri Walter Hotel, Raleigh, j
Cobnties represented at tne!
meeting included Beaufort. Ber-!
tie, Chowan, Craven, Green, j
Halifax, Lenoir, Martin, Nash, j
Pitt, Onslow and Wilson. Attend- I
ing from Chowan County was
Mrs. W. J. P. Earnhardt.
Mrs. Erphardt points out that
Chowan County needs only S4O
to reach its goal of $1,500 -.et
for the 1962 cancer crusade.
Chowan County can keep 40%
of this money to help those in
the county stricken with this
dreadful disease. “So,” says
Mrs. Earnhardt, “the more we
give, the more we will have to
help as well as possibly cure.”
Many are finding it most gra
tifying to give to the Chowan
County Cancer Society memorial
fund in memory of a friend.
Such a gift is greatly appreci- j
ated by the family of the le- '
ceased. The family will receive
a notice of the gfft and name of
donor, the amount is not stated.
Also the donor will receive a
note cf appreciation from the
county unit. Anyone making a

Oral Polio Clinic
Planned In Edenton
Continued from Page 1, Section, !
The Salk vaccine, which has
been used in previous clinics
held in, Edenton and the area,
will prevent polio in the m
noculated person, but does, not
kill virus present in the body
A Salk immunized person,
therefore, can be a carrier of the
disease virus.
The Sabin vaccine is taken
orajly and may be taken by
people of all ages. It has been
given widespread use in Russia
and other' countries and is re
ported to be very effective in
wiping out polio.
The overall effect of the Sa
bin vaccine is to totally elim
inate polio. It is, therefore, im
perative, according to the Med
ical Society and Jaycees, that
every person in Chowan County
be vaccinated, whether they
have had previous Salk vaccin
ations or not.

A Stumbling Block
By TERRY JONES
“It is good neither to eat flesh,
nor to drink wine, nor anything
whereby thy brother slumbleth,
or is offended, or is made weak."
Romans 14:21.
Not long ago a little girl pick
ed up the telephone receiver just
in time to hear a leader of her
.church say something very re
pulsive and wrong about the
church. The girl became frus
trated, upset and confused. She
just couldn't understand how a
Christian could say such a thing.
Was this the way Christians talk?
A perfect stumbling block had
been cast in her path.
In our churches today we have
SENATOR
Sam Ervin
: SAYS
Washington Amid disclos
ures arising out of the use of a
sedative known as thalidomide
which allegedly produced a great
number of malformed children
in West Germany and Great
Britain, amendments are being
offered to the Drug Industry
Bill of 1962. The Senate Judici
ary Committee, of which I am a
member, has taken additional ex-,
pert testimony and has consider
ed a number of amendments to
the proposed Act. One of the
witnesses to appear before the
Committee was Dr. Frances Kel
sey, the Food and Drug Admini
stration pharmacologist, who pre
vented mass marketing of the
drug in the United States. The
measure had not been calendar
ed for Senate action at the time
the thalidomide tragedy unfold
ed. Basically these amendments
provide additional safeguards for
the public against drugs sought
to be licensed by the Food and
Drug Administration. During
conferences on the bill I was
able to suggest the language of
several amendments which would
reconcile the opposing views of
the Committee, and resulted in
’he adoption of the amendments.
( think that the Committee will
bring out a good bill which will
provide the consuming public
with a reasonable assurance that
medicinal drugs are safe and ef
fective.
Children's Vaccine—One of the
priority measures on the Sen
ate calendar is a bill to au
