Wink ler of the Duke Power Co. office, Rev. Wesson, the pastor of the Drexel Baptist church, Kit Glass and a new lion, Prof. Hoyle of Drexel. Charles Burgin gave a brief resume of the history of Drexel, saying that it was once called Baker.

Prof. Hoyle in a short talk an nounced how glad he was to have the club meeting there and out lined the work of the school.

Cupid was dealt a severe blow last week as County Register of Deeds Lawrence Crouch in Mor ganton received the forms from Raleigh which must be filed be fore he can issue a license to wed. This new law was put in effect by the General Assembly early this week and require a physical ex amination by both parties before they can obtain a marriage li cense. Under the law, persons with venereal disease, or tuberculosis in infectious or communicable stage cannot receive marriage li cense except under certain condi tions, and persons found on exam ination to be subject to epileptic attacks, an idiot, an imbecile, a mental defective or of unsound mind will be allowed to marry on ly after eugenic sterilization. The physical examination en tails a Wasserman test, and since no laboratory here is prepared to conduct such tests, the result will be to delay marriages until tests can be made by laboratories else where, Mr. Crouch said. North Carolina residents who marry in other states must file such certificates in their home county. What means of enforcing this provision has been provided Mr. Crouch was unable to say. Penalty for violation of the new law is a fine of $50 or impris onment for thirty days or both.

Hatcher recently that there might be some possibility of securing from Federal Conserva tion funds sufficient money for the hatchery. “I have received information that we might be able to get all the funds necessary,” he said.

Require Milk To Be Labelled Now Suspended Provisions of Or dinance Are Put In Ef fect By Health Board. The Burke county board of health in a meeting last Friday voted to put into effect provisions requiring the labelling of milk sold in the county, a regulation which had been temporarily suspended since the adoption of the milk or dinance two years ago. Herds of four cows or less will not be affected by this provision of the milk ordinance, while pro ducers with from five to 11 cows, inclusive, may produce either grade B milk. Herds of 12 cows or more must meet the require ments of a regular dairy, produc ing either Grade A or Grade B milk but nothing under that grade. The grade of milk must be labelled on each bottle under the terms of the ordinance which means that milk bearing a grade of D must be marked “For Cooking Only.” The action of the board of health with regard to enforcing this portion of the milk ordinance had been deferred since the or dinance was adopted March 30, 1937, in order to allow dairies and dairymen opportunity for making preparations for meeting the re quirements for grading, then in augurated. The specific provisions of the ordinance regarding labelling were first suspended for one year and then for another but will not go into effect as originally con tained in the U. S. standard or dinance. POSTOFFICE OPEN TILL 1 P. M.
