Dr. Carl Reynolds
Urges Adoption
Of Health Plan
RALEIGH ? Legislative adop
tion of the Good Health Plan of
the Medical Care Commission in
its entirety is urged by Dr. Carl
V. Reynolds, state health officer.
Publicly stating his position on
the health program for the first
Be Quick To Treat
Bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis may develop If
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron
chitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take a chance with any medi
cine less potent than Creomulsion
which goes right to the seat of the?
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
soothe and healraw.tender. inflamed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creosote byspecial processwith other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with
the understanding you must like tho
wav it quickly allays the cough, per
mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv.)
I time. l>r. Reynolds said. 1 favor
adoption of the Medical Care Com
, mission Plan in its entirety be
, cause it is an undisputed fact that
North Carolina need- expanded
! medical and preventive care and
i hospital facilities These can be
assured only through the use of
. graduates of a four-year medical
1 school
"As one whose professional life
lias been devoted largely to pre
1 ventive medicine, it is natural that
I favor the expansion of our al
ready existing School of Public
Health, but this can be done only
I after we have enough trained per
sonnel ? doctors, nurses, techni
i Hans, radiologists, etc."
In this connection, the state
health head noted that the school
of Public Health, as now consti
tuted accepts only post graduate
students. "We cannot have post
graduates until we have gradu
ates. he added in defense of the
proposed four-year medical school.
"Rural hospitals, training and
public health centers in rural com
munities will accomplish an ex
panded public health program only
through the establishment of the
"sscntial part of the program com
1-ined and adopted in its entirety."
Dr. Reynolds declared.
"In this important fight we must |
torego our personal and selfish am- 1
bit ions for the sake of a complete ]
program, calling for expanded j
hospital facilities, medical center. !
and a four-year medical school to
provide adequate personnel.
"We are planning not only for
service to those of the present age.
hut for generations yet unborn."

There's EXTRA SAFETY in the Tire that
OUTWEARS PREWAR TIRES
While many postwar products are still in the
dream stage, one is not . . . the new postwar
B.F.Goodrich Silvertown that OUTWEARS
PREWAR TIRES.
It's been produced . . . and what is more . . .
in the past twelve months it's hecn delivered
to car owners in greater quantities than any
tire in B.F.Goodrich history.
Of course, many car owners have heard about
the thousands of extra miles of service from
the broader, flatter tread that covers more road
area and gives greater protection against skid
ding. They know about the 35% stronger cord
body that gives better resistance to road shocks
and bruising. It's no wonder the factory's out
standing production has been taxed keeping
up with this extra demand.
But this is one product you can take out of
your dream book . . . it's here. If you'll be
needing new tires soon . . . check with us
today for the tire that's worth much more but
costs no more ? the B F.Goodrich Silvertown
that OUTWEARS PREWAR TIRES.
