,New Health Center Needed
In returning an unfavorable report on the Dunn
j Health Center, the Harnett County Grand Jury has point
i ed upa problem that has been present for a lc(ng time. We
i mewittje need for a new Health Center here.
I Th increasing activity in public health performed
from this office, nas outmoded the facilities, even if the
building itself were in good condtion. And this is by no
hneans the case, the condition of the building itself is de
plorable.
During a heavy rainstorm, for example, it
1 sight to see the personnel of this office, scurrying around
with pans, buckets or any available container, placing
thete at strategic locations in order to catch the streams
of water that enter through the leaks in the roof, which is
tbaHly in need of repair. \
| However, even if the building were in good condition,
the workers there lack the space needed for their activi
ties, and during clinic hours, there is usually an overflow
jkofcpatients seated on the porch rail, waiting their turn, be
muse there is no rocgn for them inside the building.
I Our neighboring counties of Sampson and Cumberland
shave modem, well equipped health centers. There is no
riogical reason why we could not have tbejU: equal here
If the town oi Dunn would supply the lot for the buiid
, jng, the Federal Government would foot 74,6 per cent of
pthr'bilf/ nearly three quarters of the amnnnf. needed. A
■femtabig, well equipped building would cost between $50.-
$75,000.
BBre is one method by which the county’s’shafeo?
ley could be supplied without raising the tax rate
. Dropping of persons from old age js
he county $1,761.25 monthly. Over a period of a
is will amount to $21,735 Tnis amount would an
te the county’s share.
i a new building and equipment, your health de
t could expana its activities ana could

to either health centers.
ui. example, we now send our crippled children to
ic at the Cumberland County Health Center, in
Fayetteville. With suitable facilities here it would be much
more convenient for the patient and for the doctors, to hold
tiSEclinics here.
j*~¥our Health Center renders a valuable service in the
iwerests of public health, and these services can be vastly
rifaanded and made more valuable to the community, if
Betterjjuarters are provided.

THE GREATNEIO THAT
WAS RONDS
The Romans had a high civil
official called a censor wfeoee busi
ness It was to ten the roto. Mar
cus Cato, a plain and rugged man,
asrtred to the post, but the aristo
crats and the rich and those who
preferred a smooth life were op
posed to his candidacy.
They brought forth a number of
very fine candidate*, soft spoken
and gentle, who made promises to
the people to givh them an Indul
gent and easy government.
Cato would have no competition
with them. He delivered tough
speeches and advised the people
to choose not the gentlest but the
roughest of physicians. He painted
no glowing picture of himself nor
lied about his intentions. Os this,
Plutarch says:
. . He (Cato) added, too, that
he saw all the nest endeavouring
after the office with ill intent, be
cause they were afraid of those
Who would exercise it justly, as
they ought And so truly great and
to worthy of great mm to be its
leaders was, it would seem, the
Roman people, that they did not
fear toe severity and grim counte
nance of Cato, but rejecting those
smooth promisers who were ready
to do all things to ingratiate them
selves, they took him. . .
It is interesting to note that |dl
the same arguments against can
didates were used in ancient times
that are used against them today.
For instance, they say that Senator
Taft lacks beauty of appearance.
Tliat he does. He would never win
a beauty contest at Atlantic City,
nor does he have toe charm of
manner or toe gracefulness of per
sonality of a Franklin D. Roose
velt or a General Elsenhower. He
is a homespun sort of personality
Who talks like a vigorous Yankee
—and thinks wjth all the intellec
tual toughness of one.
He makes no attempt to paint
roseate pictures of the world*his,
country, or even of himself. • mce
ancient Marcus Cato, he gathers
toe facts and presents them and
if. they are unpalatable, it mig».
make him unpopular for saying
what is undesira|Me. Yet. if that
is the way it needs to be said, he

The Worry Clinic
By DR. GEORGE W. CRANE k*
Parents, vaccinate yopr child
ren against Insanity! Tent’s
tragic case today is duplicated
thousands es time. A shy intro
vert who idled heavily 'on the
affection an it shelter of his
mother's love, has suddenly been
thrust into a competitive, harsher,
enviqenjtent.
Case B-388: Tom D„ aged 18,
recently enlisted to escape toe
draft.
“Dr. Crane, Tom recently went
to an army camp, We were very
proud of him and he seemed to
feel toe same way about it,” his
coed sister informed me. .
“But ’after three months, some
thing terrible must have happened
to him.
“He grew less and less Interested
in things around him. We finally
found him sitting in a hospital,
Ytaring vacantly at the wall. He
didn’t even know us!
' “#ie , army psychiatrist told us
he was being discharged from
service because of seirisophrenia.
He is a mental case. We are now
heart broken. Win he ever 1 get
well?”
INSANITY IS ESCAPE
Thousands of .men like Tom have
been discharged from military ser
viec for mental reasons.
But please notice how many were
rejected on mental grounds before
they were even admitted into our
military forces.
In citing some relative data from
World War II regarding the selec
tees between toe ages t>f 21 and
36, Dr. L. G. Rowntree, Chief of toe
Medical Division, reported that
defective lungs catsed tha re
jection of 26,000 men.
Defective feet accounted for 36,-
000 krhfle defective . ears caused
41,000 to be rejected. Hernias or
ruptures accounted for 56,000.
But mental and nervous disorders
caused 57,000 to be rqjerted. An
other 57000 were rejected because
of venereal diseases.

' So /rank Mulcahy, the proprie
ty of the Frolics at Salisbury
Beach, Mass, paid no 20 per cent
cabaret tax. After aO. he argued,
you've got to provide entertainment
to have a night chib. Ail he had
was Jojo. r , .
Opt rushed a platoon of revenue
agerite to inffidct Jojo *t *ork.
He may have been silent, but the
people laughed and laughed. There
fore, reasoned the revenooers, Jojo
was entertainment. They socked
Mulcahy 315,000 in back cabaret
taxes.
He took up his problem with the
distinguished attorney and politi
cian, James A. Donovan of Law
rence, Mass. Donovan took a look
at JoJd, who didn’t entertain him.
Then he went to his great and
good friend, Dennis W. .Delaney,
toe Collector of Internal Revenue
at Boston. He told Delaney that
Jojo wasn’t entertainment.
Delaney listened carefully. After
all, he’d been paid 33,000 a few
months (refare for taking Donovan
down to Washington to introduce
him to big Shots In connection with
some other legal matters. Delaney
just seemed to have friends -all
over.
Next thing counselor Donovan
knew, he had a letter from Delaney
Shying he’d talked the powers-that
tje in Washington from taxing Jojo
on tay past entertainment, but
they insisted if Jojo kept on mak
ing the customers laugh, he’d be
taxed in the future. That saved
315,000 for Mulcahy who then fired
Jojo.
A few more weeks passed and
there was collector Delaney on the
phone, telling attorney Donovan
that he was tired, weary, and need
ful of a nice cottage on the beadh.
Donovan suggested that he get in
touch with Mulcahy down at the
Frolics. He did..
Next thing you know, Delaney
was living rent free in a house by
the sea; Mulcahy had paid his
rent of 31,500 for the season.
All this entile into the open when
President Truman fired Delapey on
charges of assorted shenanigans
with the peqpkw’ money. Then it
developed that Delaney had paid
no vincotne taxes, himself, on the
money that Donovan had paid hlip,
nor on the free rent he received
after saving, Jojo’s boss a cool 315,-
006.
The white-haired attorney Don
ovan told the whole sorry tale un
der oath to the House Ways and
Means subcommittee, which is in
vestigating light-fingered revenue
collectors in offices stretching
across the nation. He went into
detail about Jojo.
All Jojo did. he said, was sit
there and open his mouth while a
juke box behind him played drum
music. )
“I would compare Jojo to a band
leader with his baton,” testified
this New England legal lfcht. “And
band music is nontaxable. Yet these
people claimed Jojo was an enter
tainer and they Sent' tax bills.”
“H he’d opened his mouth he’d
have been taxable?” inquired com
mittee counsel Adrian De Wind,
who used to be % tax collector, him
self.
"He dkl open his mouth, but he
didn’t say anything,” replied Don
ovan. ''
“And if he’d said anything, he’d
have been subject to tax?” Insisted
De Wind.
Donovan said he supposed so. He
also said he was widened by the
scrape in which collector Delaney
finds himself.
“He has scores, yes. hundreds of
friends in Boston, Washington, and
elsewhere,” said Donpvan. “He was
greatly adffiqrgd.jrhat Bos
