I I i V' \i-^ I I HOLIDAY HAPPENINGS...Shakespeare once said, “If all the year were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious as to work”. Sporting was the name of the game played last weekend in this town, as many people from places like New York, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., Georgia, and other points north and south did the do, amid the congeniality of our hospitality. Some of the doings were: VIP FUN...The new VIP Social Club at 505 Beatties Ford Rd. spon sored a jam Friday night with the local jazz agregation “Touch” backing up a Lou Rawls styled singer by the name of Donald Daviss. This show started at 9 ▼•m. and ended around 2 a.m. on a very good note t proved by the satisfie expressions on the faci of Walter McCoy, IVi — and Mrs. Fred McCare, Ann Copeland, Hazel Freeman Jr., Joan Nelson. Frank Wright, Ambrose Goines, Steve Hayes, Curt Ardrey, Raymond Mason Jr., Brenda Moore, Otis McClurkin, Jack Shropshire and Walter Jack son. Keeping in the same vein, VIP Productions will be sponsoring a Grand Opening Tea featuring DnnalH HavicQ fnrmor RnHHo P recording artist in “The Romantic World of Donald Daviss,” on Friday, July 9th and Saturday, July 10th, at the VIP Social Club, from 8 until. COOK OUT TIME...Two sho-nuff lovelies, Toni Dawson and Elaine Thompson joined forces last Friday night and sponsored a groovy get together for Toni’s brother Archie and his partner Thomas Caldwell.

A 1973 survey of school immunization records showed an 85.1 percent compliance rate with the North Carolina Immunization Law. A more recent survey showed that the rate had risen in 1976 to 95.6 percent compliance. State law requires that every child' be immunized' a I gainst diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, and red measles (rubeola) before entering school. Surveys are made each year to determine the level of pro tection by checking the num ber of immunizations given to kindergarten and first grade students. According to survey results over the years, reported cases of red measles (rubeola i have been almost non-existent. There have also been no re ported cases of diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough or polio in school children for many years. According to founder Gomes Walker. "A free dinner was served for about loo persons at the Salvation Army 901. Bel mont Ave, following the pro gram." Mr Walker added.
