scriptlon and Prise Campaign has
met with a ready response from am
t itious spare time workers in lA>uis
Vurg and surrounding towns of the
County. Names of prospective work
ers that have been received at the
'campaign office up to last Wednesday
aye listed in the page announcement
t ,day. Just how many of these
names will be on the list four weeks
from today, the day before the cam
paign ends! How many will have
the courage to remain in the race till
the finish? How many will drop out
to be replaced by more ambitious
contenders? Time will tell. Thl:
campaign certainly is no place for
folks who have not the jpatience and
persistence to go through this ear
lier stage of the campaign. The first
few weeks are the hardest part of
the campaign. Mostly promises are
given now to candidates, for the public
no doubt may wait to see who will
stay in the race. Those who perse
vere will reap the harvest of promis
es given earlier In the campaign to
those who drop out.
Assuming that a candidate asks
for subscriptions and a number df
the folks asked say they have prom
istd another candidate. Who knows
whether this oirst candidate will re
main in the race?. No one, at this
early stage of the campaign. Suppose
that first candidate does remain in
the race, and returns to obtain the
subscription. There is nothing to
prevent the second candidate obtain
ing another from the .same subscrib
er. That Is going to happen many
times for those candidates who re
raain' in the race till the flmsh. There
in no secret for success In this cam
paign. Just plain, everyday grit and
determination plu|i confidence and
energy will bring you in a winner.
The out of town folks seem not to
have awakened to their opportunity
through the double vote offer for
subscriptions. This provision of the
campaign was planned especially for,
their benefit to offset the supposed
advantage of the Louisbi$rg entrants.
However, the whole county is virgin
territory for an enterprising candi
date whether listed from Louisburg
or any other town in the County.
There are thousands of subscriptions
waiting fOT ambitious candidates re
gardless of the towns they live in.
The campaign manager has talked
with many residents In the surround
ing t. wn whose fret question was:
"who Is the local candidate?" This
eager interest la positive proof that
local candidates from surrounding
towns, If they will but show an active
interest in their own individual cam
paigns are asst$red of concerted sup
port of the people In the towns In
which thsy reside.
Among the towns that are as yet
not represented by candldatee, and
where the eupport is waiting them,
.re Maplevllle, Zebulon, New Hope,
fetven Paths. Alert, Ingleelde. and
Kearney. The other "
County are represented by candidates
today's first list of
is not known st this writing whether
these nominated will remain or he
come in active candidates or not.
At this writing there haife only
been a few subscriptions reported.
Arouse yourselves, nominees from the
surrounding towns?active support,
practical support is there if you will
ssk for it You must take the lead?
for you are the local representative.
The campaign is still ln,Jts infancy
end there Is plenty of room for new
entrants. Any reader who desires to
try for one of the five prizes, or who
has faith in the abilityi-of a friend to
win a prize, is urgeiAHo clip the cour

campaign office of The Franklin
Times.
Here is a good opportunity for
those candidates who wish to make
a good start. In last week's an
nouncement there was a special cou
pon published calling for 20,000 ex
tir. votes for three, two year Bub
f-crptlons. This offer is good Until
tomorrow hlght. Out of town candi
dates mall in their report and if
received at the campaign office Mon
day will be credited with the extra
votes. So far this offer seems to
have gone unnoticed, and it therefore
Is a good opportunity for a wide
awake entrant to get the jump or
the other candidates and take the
lead.

HE. B^JL. JOHNSON 1
ADDRESSE8 P.-T. T]
ASSOCIATION
Association Holds Annual Election of
Officers?Many Splendidly Encour
aging Reports Made
"Aspects of Health" was Dr. H. H.
Johnson's topic when he addressed
the Council of Franklin County Pa
rent-Teacher Associations Saturday
afiernoon, November 2, at 2:30 o'clock
in the auditorium of Mills High
School. He said that the teachers
crd parents, should be interested in
this topic since they both have their
awn health and the health of the
children in their hands. "All papers
and magazines refer in some way to
child health and training, because
Health Education is so vitally tm
I ortant," said Dr. Johnson. Millions
and millions of dollars are spent en
Health Education. He continued giv
ing the list of the requirements of
a well-developed child; a healthy
body, a healthy mind, and a good
spirit or moral character. The great
need of health at the present has
too suddenly been cast before the
eyes and mlnda of the public, show
ing that the haste and strain of pres
ent times demand better and more
healthfiil people. The present gen
eration is not bearing up under the
conditions caused by the improve
ments and developments. A majo r
ity of the diseases are caused and
aided in development by physical and
I mental strain. It Is, therefore. Im
portant, he said, that more time and
study be spent upon such a vital sub
ject.
Dr. Johnson explained how the
local Klwanis Club had taken up this
work giving as examples the several
pre-school clinics that they held in
Franklin County and the Tonsll-Ad
cnoid Clinic held at Loulsburg. Of
the one hundred and twenty or thirty
children that were examined, he said,
forty per cent were undernourished
and sixty per cent had enlarged or
diseased tonsils and adenoids. Dr.
Johnson said that the children not
properly fed, or the undernourished
children were handicapped and Were
the women and men who have tir
berculosis and die young. Therefore,
the proper diet is a vital problem,
the basis of all health. ".It is far
n.< re easier to start on the right
diet than to change from the wrong
to the right later on," expressed Dr.
Johnson. As for the defected tonsils,
he said, they caOse heart disease, an
emia, rhumatism, mental retardation,
and other diseases.
Dr. Johnson stated that it had been
estimated that the local Kiwanls Club
health project had aavdd .Franklin
County $5000. The Parent-Teacher
associations aided, he said; but he
also said that they shoujd co-operate
further by securing lists of * proper
diets from the Home Demonstration
?gent. Miss Daisy Caldwell, and the
Franklin County Board of Health, and
Informing the people of the county
concerning them and spread them
throughout the county. He, also,
predicted that another pre-school
.llnlc would be held In Franklin
bounty If the Parent-Teacher Asse
rtions, the most vital organ In the
eaching of the majority of the pub
ic. co-operate and aid In decreasing
