CAROLINA FRIDAY, JANUARY it!, 1?88 STOP MONEY From Learteg LouLsliurg By Advertising In The TIMES (BIGHT PAGES) NUMBER 49 TEN REASONS I FOR JOINING IN POLIO CRUSADE I Dr. Rhuland, Noted Health Officer, Tells What Cam paign Means Franklin County Chairman Mr Kinne Pearce joins Dr. George C. Rhuland, Health Officer of the District of Columbia, and uutiou ally known public health authority in setting forth the following ten reasons why every one should support' the new National Foun dation for Infantile Paralysis: 1 ? Few diseases are known which may, so quickly, sometimes completely, and often permanent ly destroy a useful life. 2 ? There is some evidence to indicate an increase in the preva lence of the disease in all parts of the civilized world. 3 ? Much mysticism still .pre vails among the laity concerning the cause, transmission and meth ods of controlling the disease. 4 ? Speaking as a health officer of Washington, D. C., and former ly of Syracuse and Milwaukee, I have often heard frantic mothers appeal, "How can I prevent my child from having infantile par alysis or bow may I evade the danger of crippling?" 6 ? Infantile paralysis is a com municable disease. The case should, therefore, be isolated in the acute stage in mnch the same way as diphtheria. This is for the purpose of giving the child the advantages of early treatment and also to protect others against the infection. It is generally thought to be the. most communicable In the first stages of the disease. 6 ? We should be reminded that healtihy persons who are carriers of the disease and mild cases which are never recognized, play an important part in the dissemi nation of Infantile paralysis. 7 ? The early symptoms of the ?disease, such as fever, headache, drowsiness, vomiting, may simu late many other diseases of child hood. At the apparance of these signs of illness a physician should be called at once. 8 ? Nearly every person who has been crippled by infantile paralysis can be improved ,by proper after-care and treatment. 9 ? Further research on the cause and transmission of the dis ease is needed if we expect to combat effectively the disease in the ftiture. 10 ? Every one should have the opportunity of knowing the facts concerning infantile paralysis. These facts may be disseminated through the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. MRS.

At this meeting, which lasted from Tuesday through Friday. I some 300 CoOnty Agents and; other Extension workers and 100 FSA County Supervisors hoard a ; number of Farm leaders and took ! part in round-table discussions,! the purpose of which was to help them to do a better Job for the; communities they serve in 1 ft a 8 . Mr. Cone said the discussions | centered round the theme. "Re building North Carolina's Kural j Life' and special emphasis was , laid on farm tenancy and soil con servation. He stated that lie was j favorably impressed with t'he fact 1 that the farm leaders whom he \ met and heard are so thoroughly sold on {lie id.-a of making the way easier Xor tenants and small I farmers to help themselves to im- i prove their lot, and in that way | to improve conditions generally in the South. Governor Clyde R. Hoey, for I Instance, said "we will not lift North Carolina agriculture to the high level it ought to occupy until we touch the tenant farm er " Dr. Will W. Alexander, of Washington, D. C., Administrator of the Farm Security Administra tion, traced historically the grad ual advance of democracy in the South and showed how little at tention was given, until recently, in both literature and government to Ohe rank and file. A native of the South, and a close student of Southern life, Dr. Alexander spoke of the over-emphasis which the earlier writers and most of 'the early statesmen placed upon slaveowners to the neglect of a large porMon of the people of the. region. It is a matter of statistical fact that the big industrial centers of the country, due to low birth rate, are failing to replenish thelf pop ulations from witihin and the def icit Id the cities is being made up mm the farming sections, par icularly the rural south. It is. herefore, of immense concern to .he Whole nation that more at ??ntion be given to the health of our rural people, that we 'reach more and more of them through practical education and that> we help them recapture their skills, Or. Alexander told tiie supervis ors. adding that the reason North Carolina has gotten along so itiueh better t'han other Southern states is that this state has had a 1 stronger and more dominant ele ment of the middle class of which Page wrote and which used its in fluence earlier for better educ tion. SETS TIME MM IT OX TENANT LOANS IX FRANKLIN COUNTY The time farm tenants will have for filing applications with the Farm Security Administration for loans, from this year's allotment of land purchase money to buy and improve farms will be limited to about thirty days, apcording to a statement ma'de by County FSA Supervisor, Mr. Paul B.

It wHs pointed out that> the closing of applications will apply to funds appropriated for the coming season. A time limit has to be set on applications now so that the County Advisory Com mittee may go ahead with choos ing the small number of tenants to whom loans can be made be tween now and July 1.

ENTERTAINS Subscribe to The Franklin Time* , AXE MURDER AT HENDERSON Henderson, Jan. 17. ? Clarence Fairbanks, 23, confessed here this afternoon to the brutal axe mur der Sunday night of his employer. Steve C. Good, of Carson. Texas, owner and operator of the Good Tom Thumb Circus, and the at tack upon Good's wife, Mrs. Jose phine Stokes Good, when the wo man went to the defense of her husband. Although the assault was com mitted Sunday night. Good did not die until 6 o'clock Monday morning and tonight- Mrs. Good remained unconscious in Maria Parham Hospital with a fractured skull and other wounds. Fairbanks said in a signed statement that he fought Good because the man was mistreating one of the birds in the circus troupe. The attack took place Sunday night in a vacant lot behind the High Price Tobacco Warehouse, which is situated in the heart of Henderson's buslneHS district, whore the show van. with its dogs. monkeyB and birds had been park ed since Friday. Good was scheduled to have presented his attraction at the Henderson High School Monday morning and had a large consecu tive itinerary through the follow ing days in various parts of this State and Virginia. Fairbanks' confession came Home 18 hours after the attack. He had been questioned during the night and half of Monday by Sheriff J. E. Hamlet and his dep uties and Chief of Police J. H. Langston and his men. Immedi ately after the written statement was made and witnessed. officers carried Fairbanks out of Vance County for safe keeping until Tuesday night when,' according to Coroner A. P. Paschal, he will be returned for a hearing. Deputy Sheriff J. M. Mitchell and Policeman J. L. Mundy, who were the first to arrive at the scene, stated that* the affair was reported to police headquarters about 9 o'clock by Fairbanks, himself, who arrived in a taxi. At ithat time Fairbanks is said to have told the officers thati Mr. and Mrs. Good went to get food and he himself later went for supper. When he returned, he told offi cers. he found the two dead. Upon arriving at the van, how ever, the officers found both Mr. and Mrs. Good still alive, though unconscious, they were ruBhed to the local hospital by Mitchell. Good was lying outside the van about seven feet from the vehicle and his wife was hanging from the stops that led into the truck, one foot having caught in the open steps as she evidently at tempted -to rush into or out of the van for safety. Along the side of the large red vehicle was a smear of blood where officers thought her hand had tried to catch for balance and just within the small door her dark brown, blood-soaked bereti was lying. Officer Mundy said that after Mitchell had gone with the vic tims to the hospital and he was awaiting other policemen, Fair banks feigned a fit a"tid that when the animals in the van began a ravonous disturbance at the noise and excitement that the show as sistant arose, went into the trail | er and quieted the animals. Fairbanks was taken to head quarters for questioning, during which he said that Good had a ; sum approximating $300. but that : he had none of it. Officers return ed to the warehouse and discover l ed wet clothing that was identl i fled as belonging to Fairbanks. ; The clothing showed that it had had blood stains upon it and had been very recently washed. A key which fitted the van was also found in one of the pockets. Af ter the finding of these clues of ficers renewed their questioning and finally Fairbanks wrote a confession in his own hand.. Prior to the confession, however, Mayor Henry T. Powell and Chief ot Po lice Langston went early Monday morning to Raleigh with the axe and fingerprints of Fall-banks for them to be checked in the Capital. At the time of the confession. Sheriff Hamlet quoted tho man a# saying: "You got the stuff and you got me. It can't help me to tell you I was not justifiable. I know everything. I know how It happene^. I will write It down."
