Recent Syphilis Rates Reported Areas havirar the highest syphil is rate in Negroes have a higher than average syphilis rate in white men, according to recent studies of the first two million reports of selectees for army service in 1940-42. Thees facts were report ed in the latest issue of the Jorn al of the American Medical Asso ciation, The rate of syphilis in Negro men was found to be at least ten times higher than that in white men. Uncontrolled syphilis in the Negro not only affects the Negro population, but increases the inci dence of syphilis among the white population as well. This is one reason why the state of North Carolina has a law requir ing examination of all domestic employees. These examinations may be made by any physician or at the County Health Department clinic. Householders are urged to see that their employees have a health certificate, ad all new em ployees should have a certificate before beginning to work in any home. Local health authorities state that it is the responsibility of ev ery housewife to protect the health of her family by making sure that all household employees have com plied with the law and have ob tained a health certificate.

Bookmobile FORTY-SEVEN NEW BOOKS RECEIVED Alerte Mrs. Carrie Noreom celebrated her 84th birthday last Saturday by receiving members of her family and old friends from both More- heady City and Beaufort at her home on Craven Street. The house was lovely with white and pirk gladioli which "Miss Car rie" hastened to tell her guest3 were sent her by her friends. The beloved octogenarian visited infor mally with each of the dozens who dropped in to pay her tribute dur ing the afternoon and evening. She had a table well covered with gifts from loving friends the thought behind each of which was very precious to her. Her most unique gift was Mazie or Jewell or whatever "Miss Carrie" decides to christen her a baby doll dress ed in five and one dollar bilh' ev en to the bow on her bonnet. The doll was the brain child of Mr Willie Norcom, but all of her chil dren and grandchildren had a part in it.

It is saddening to read the an nual accident record for 1941 and find the appalling number of 31, 500 deaths due to home accidents. Accidents are real enemies of the home and most of them are caus ed by thoughtlessness and careless ness. Make your home a safe home by taking care of the danger spots which cause most accidents : 1 Have you a step ladder in good repair? 2 Are there handrail!!'11 r all stairways with open sides? 3 Do you havea regular place for tools and toys when not in Mr. Hardesty Buried Sunday Elijah Dudley Hardesty, of Newport, RFD, died at his homa last Saturday afternoon at one o'clock at the age of eighty-nine years and eight months.

It you fail to answer "yes" to all of these questions, get your family to help you strengthen the weak points so the enemy, "Acci dent," cannot enter your home. What Is Inflation? Do you have excess? cash? You will aiuwer, "No." But the fact remains that you do. For almost every wage earner these days has an Income, In checkbook or pocketbook, well above the cost of bis living, taxes, Insurance and debt re payments. You never actually "bid" against anybody for a porter house steak, but when you take the spending, of all average Americana as a group, it's a different story. So lt is im portant that excess money be saved rather than used collec tively to bid up prices. If it is spent, instead of saved, prices soar. . . That's inflation. Ideally, It should be Invested In Government securities dur ing the Second War Loan. "They give their lives . . . You lend your money." Potato Price Support To Continue In State 0 RALEIGH, June 16 U. S. De partment of Agriculture support prices in Irish potatoes will be con tinued in North Carolina through out the entire marketing season and it is not necessary for gro vers to dig potatoes prematurely in or der to obtain prices at the support level, according to H. A. Patten state AAA executive assistant. The Department announced ear lier this year that it would support the 1943 crop of Irish potatoes at $2.25 per 100 pounds for No. 1 potatoes in carload lots. .Potatoes grading at least 85 per cent No. 1 win oe supported at $Z.l'o per hundred, and U. S. Commercials will be supported at $2.05 per hun dred. The support price for pota toes grading No. 2 or U. S. No. 1 size B will be supported at $1.35 per 100 pounds. The ceiling price at which growers may sell pota toes in North Carolina is $2.70 per hundred. Carteret County has not one Library but twenty-odd libraries. There are two in most communities, not in in accesible parts of town but right up on "Main Street" When the Bookmobile comes to a stop at Gillikin's Service Station, Bettie, or the Post Office at Straits, or tho Moving ' Picture House at Harker's Island, Mrs. Rudolph Dowdy takes out her file of cards, rubber stamp, and pad, opens up the back and a library is establish ed on that spot with a collection of 000 volumes true but 500 are actually in the truck, but all of the 7000 belonging to the County are available as surely as if the read er lived acros the street from tha Library building at Broad and Pollock Streets. Do you want Kip ling? Not on the shelves? All right, Mrs. Dowdy jots down for reserve and brings it out one week later. Want Shakerpeare? (the writer heard this request) "All right, I'll bring it next week." "See here, Private Hargrove!" Well, that's a different matter. Mrs. Dowdy ex plains with a smile that it's so popular that there are three ahead, "But you'll be fourth, and if we can get hold of another copy, you won't have to wait that long." Mrs. Rudolph Dowdy, Bookmo bile Librarian, who has joined the staff of the Library within the last six months, thinks the County Li brary is a good one. Her reason: Nearly all books in the Library are of interest to someone. Often she says a collection of the same size will contain too many gifts that are but cast offs that no one wants to read. Did you ever see A Bookmobile at work? Revolving tiers of shelv es are reached through the opened back. On the Carteret Bookmobile which is a NEWS repoter rode one day this week, the top row is fic tion for adults, below that non fiction, and on the bottom where even a six year old can reach are the children's books. Readers gath er about, browse over them, exam ine, often take out and put back a dozen or more before making their decisions. Mrs. Dowdy is fortunately a trained librarian for her duties are more than those of a chauffeur clerk. At every stop, she is met with, "Tell me something I'll like" or "Mrs, wants a 'best seller' to read." If it't, n ad ult she asks "What have you been reading?" "What books do you like?" Do you read Westerns? Love stories?" To the child, she asks "What grade are you in?" "Did you like the book that you brought back?" "Do you read them or does your mother read them to you?" ' Do you like stories of aimals?" Then together they See LIBRARY Page 12 Sttnattttr I :: "It is reported in several areas'; that some producers are speeding ! ; digging operations m order .o re-I ii reive holier prices, even tli'.ujh ' " tlie potatoes they are marketing 55 are unusually small," Patten sai.t. 3 "Since arrangements for gnoiri-lj; ment buying will begin as s;,.,m ai prices go below tiie support levels 3 many will find they can obtain a' 3 larger net return for their potatoes by marketing them a little laier i i the season."
