Brief Review Of State, National And World News During The Past Week U. N. MAY LOCATE NEAR NEW YORK CITY New York—On First Avenue they’re measuring tall buildings against the sky—and where a few see shadows cast across their lives most residents of the area envision a shining new world capitol. In general, those who live and work on the East River site offer ed to the United Nations as a permanent home by John D. Rockefeller gave thqt body as warm a welcome yesterday as it has received in its long hunt for quarters. Known locally as ‘Turtle Bay” since the days of Washington Irv ing, the area now bounded by 42nd and 48th Streets and First Avenue and Franklin D. Roose velt Drive contains some history —and some irony, if the United Nations settles there. GUAM WANTS TO BECOME PART OF UNITED STATES Guam—The Congress of Guam decided to propose to the next U. S. Congress that Guam be or ganized as a territory and that all Guamanians become United States citizens. Members said, they were satis fied with the present navy ad ministration of Vice-Adm. Charles A.

F. T. C. had charged the B. C. Remedy Co., Durham, N. C., and the Stanback Co., Ltd., Salisbury, N. C., have used false advertising because they failed to reveal “harmful effects” of. continued use in quantities greater than recommended. Both manufacturers have elim inated the drugs acetanilid -and potassium bromide, which formed the principal basis for the charges, F. T. C. said. and commander of the Marianas, but wanted to act promptly for fear American interest in Guam might dwindle in the future. Guam’s attorney general, J. W. Davis of Chicago, had recom mended that actipn be deferred two to five years. Rom where I sit... fy Joe Marsh A Grand American Tradition The Cuppers had a grand old family reunion last week—for the 6 rst time since the war. Big and little Cuppers came, by car and train, from as far west as Nebraska and as far east as Vermont. They crowded Dee and wane’s house, set up quarters in the barns, or stopped with neigh bors—and a jollier gathering you couldn’t have imagined! I was asked to their final Satur day night supper, when they sang »!d songs, drank beer and cider, ■emiaisced. Dark Cuppers and blonde ones—Vermont meats and Alabama drawls—doctors and farm ers ... all with their differences of taste and politics, yet as close and harmonious in spirit as a group could be. Prom where I sit, it's a great American tradition—not just fam ily reunions, but the ability to get along as one harmonious family, regardless of differences of taste— whether it’s taste for politics or farming, beer or cider. ©I*4«, UNITED STATES BREWERS FOUNDATION, North Carolina f«—Mh -■-» Suit* 606-607 Insurance Building, Raleigh, North Carolina.

New York—Russia Saturday lost her fight to la/ open the American atomic bomb secrets immediately, but the United Na tions Assembly approved a uni versally acclaimed plan for arms reduction which would in time, scrap all weapons of mass de struction. Optimism over the arms pro gram was the keynote as Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov sailed for home with American assurance that international con trol of atomic energy with step by-step disclosure of all the facts would be given top priority in the plan to discard arms. The optimism was reflected as far away as Moscow where the Government newspaper Izvestia declared the work of the United Nations and Foreign Ministers Council here had been “fruitful” and “substantial.” These developments came after Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and Molotov ad dressed the assembly late Friday night and early Saturday. The arms reduction program was appi’oved unanimously yes terday morning amid a wave of applause in the Flushing Meadows assembly hall. The 54-member nations then turned down by a vote of 36-to-6, the Russian demand for an im mediate global census of troops and all armaments to implement a long-range proposal for their reduction to the size of a peace keeping police force. As Molotov boarded the liner Queen Elizabeth after attending the Foreign Ministers conference and most important U. N. sessions he commented that results were “as satisfactory to the Soviet dele gation as they are to the other delegations.” Fishermen averaged a catch of three trout during the 1946 sea son in Nantahala National Forest wildlife areas, managed co-oper atively by the N. C. Division of Game and Inland Fisheries and the U. S. Forest Service. Senator Bailey Died On Sunday Raleigh—Senator Josiah Wil liam Bailey, 73, Democrat of North Carolina, died at his home here Sunday of a cerebral hem orrhage. The senator, who had been in a coma since late yester day, had suffered a serious heart illness about eight months ago, but was recovering. Members of the family, who an nounced his death, reported that he complained of a headache yes terday afternoon, drank a cup of coffee, and went to sleep. Later his son, James H. Pou Bailey, Raleigh attorney, called a physician at his father’s request. He lapsed into a coma shortly afterwards. Governor Cherry indicated to day that he would not call a spe cial election to name a successor for Senator Bailey’s unexpired term. The Governor said that he probably would appoint Senator Bailey’s successor later this week. Potential nominees to Senator Bailey’s post include former Gov ernor J. M. Broughton, National Committeeman W. P. Horton, State Treasurer Charles M. John son, W. B. Umstead, who recently resigned as State Democratic Ex ecutive committee chairman, and Lt. Gov. L. Y. Ballentine. Bailey was ’chairman of the Senate commerce committee and in his third term, which was to expire in 1948. YOUNGSTER IS CLAWED BY LEOPARD IN ZOO New York — Three-year-old John Stearns was clawed by a leopard when he crawled under a guard rail at the Central Park Zoo. The leopard reached through the bars of its cage and gashed the left side of the boy’s face. His mother, Mrs. Anna Stearns, screamed and snatched her child from the leopard’s reach. A Roose velt hospital physician who at tended the child said his condi tion was “good.” He was taken home by his mother. A U. S. cotton crop of 8,482,000 bales is estimated this year by agricultural economists. This is' about one-third smaller than the ten-year average. .....

SERVES THE NATION AND MANKIND IN WAR AND PEACE U. S. Post Office Building, Lenoir, N. C Your Tri-County Health Dept. By Robert R. King, Jr. District Health Officer The school health program oc cupies a large share of the atten tion of the District Health Depart ment during the winter months. It is during this period that our children, who are one of the greatest assets and responsibilities of our civic life, are engaged in preparing themselves for more efficient and healthful life as1 adults. As the teachers train the minds and direct the mental and physical growth the members of the health department should make a frequent survey of the children and teachers as well as the property holdings and physi cal assets of the schools. In order to determine the status of health the presence of defects and the need for correction so that the children will be comfortable and well enough to do their school work as efficiently as possible. By examining children of each school every year and by making special studies at the request of the teacher and principals many physical defects can be found and recorded so that in the spring and summer when the children are not in school clinics may be held for the correction of such defects as poor vision, deformed limbs, infected tonsils, decayed teeth and immunization against communi cable diseases. In addition to the work of the doctor and nurse a very important program of supervising sanita tion is conducted by a sanitarian. I His work includes the inspection of school lunchrooms, water sup-1 plies and sanitary facilities, and in many cases the provision of such facilities is a direct result of suggestions and encouragement from an enthusiastic sanitary of ficer. The program of adult education includes newspaper articles, pub lic speeches and the correct at titude in private conversation on the part of each member of the department of public health. ’S FUNNY How Folks Store Stuff In An Attic t When They j Can Cash In With A WANT AD NEW CARS ARE NOT Iss HERE yet So take care of the one you’ve got for contin ued driving!
