'jiT j t•’ 'Vi ( ijnlutt jLiararii' JT if Sunday Date For Kids - j Sunday afternoon is the time set ; - along the Public Parade and through out the four-county health district for ' Rubella clinics. Efforts are being made to vaccinate every child in the district against measles. Teams have been operating in the . ; schools this Week but some children .-.may have been missed. These, along with pre-school children, can receive the free vaccine at Sunday’s clinic at the health department here between the hours of 12:30 P. M. and 3:30 P. M. If you have a child 12 years of age -- or under, you have a responsibility to see that he is immunitized against measles. Sunday afternoon is the : .time. Operation Santa Claus Needs You! . ! Extended efforts are being made along the Public Parade to make sure patients at Cherry Hospital and Cas well Center are remembered this Christ . mas. It’s a good project and one being by two tireless workers—Mrs. Bernie Baker and Mrs. Jack Harris. There are many patients from Cho wan County In the two institutions who might not receive gifts at Christmas time if they are not remembered by homefolks. 'Approximately 1,113 new gifts must be provided for both children and adults who remain on campus without family during the holiday season. The help of the general public is necessary to assure the patients from this county have a Merry Christmas. Mrs. Baker and Mrsfc Harris are ask ing that gifts from individuals and or ganizations be brought to Bank of North Carolina or Chowan Agricultural Extension Office in the County Office Building on East King Street. The deadline is December 13, for on that * date the ladies will take them to Cas well Center in Kinston. Too, any person interested in going along to help wrap the gifts or who desire additional information can call Mrs. Baker at 482-4909 or Mrs. Harris at 482-4815. And if you cannot get your gifts to the two locations in Eden ton, a call to either number will bring Santa’s helper to your door. Operation Santa Claus needs your help between now and December 13. Those confined to the two centers can’t help themselves. But you can help make this the best Christmas possible under the circumstances. _ . r . _ ■ Extra Benefits From Taxes Albemarle Law & Order Association (ALOA), the 10-county law enforcement fraternity, is doing a splendid job of upgrading county and municipal de partments in Northeastern North Ca rolina. Funds funneled through this organization are being put to good use by the departments along the Public Parade. • ALOA funding is an excellent ex ample of federal taxes being -plowed back into local government in an area y where maximum benefits can be ac crued for all the citizenry. Two items released just this week support this contention. The Law and Order Committee of the Department of Natural and Economic Resources has given permission to the Chowan County Sheriff’s Department to purchase a patrol vehicle with funds from a Standard Operational Equipment grant approved by the committee earl ier this year. This means a 1968 model vehicle with some 100,000 miles on the speedometer can be retired in favor of a new cruiser at a cost of only about SI,OOO to the county. Such a trade would give the department two new vehicles and a third cruiser which is in good condi tion. The value of county-owner law en forcement vehicles has been proven ’since the first used cruiser was pur chased for Sheriff Troy Toppin back in Continued on PO9O 4 V BUf- -v/.- ■>••• . ■ Ruritan Meeting HERTFORD —Ruritan National Presi dent Mayhew Wayland will attend the annual Albemarle District Convention in Elizabeth City on Saturday.
