STARTSFML School Program Conducted Sooni; With, a full staff foe. the first ' time since Jyne ths County Health Department began its fall ' activities last week. Assisting in completing the Phys ical examinations of the teachers, examining first graders not seen in pre-school clinics, and Schick testing constitute the first phase of school health work. Plars are being arranged for the county nurses to assist home economic? teachers with class room project3 on Health topics. Last year the children of the first three grades received the Schick test to determine whether or not they were immune to Diph theria. This is a harmless test that gives valuable information. Sever al children in each school were found to be susceptable to Diph theria by means of the test and were given an opportunity to re ceive an additional dose of Diph theria Toxoid if their parents de sired. This year the only groups that have not had the Schick test are the first grades of the various schools in the county. The Schick test is a safeguard to protect those few children who require more than usual dose of Diphtheria Toxoid to become immune to that dangerous disease. The summer typhoid clinics have been completed with a total of approximately 700 persons hav ing been immunized. This requir ed the giving of about 2000 sepa rate doses of Typhoid Vaccine. Health officials expect an in crease in contagious diseases again this winter and have warned par ents to isolate any child showing signs of illness and to call the family physician at ence. Prompt diagnosis of those children who do have contagious diseases will mean that isolation can be carried out soon enough to protect others from exposure. An expanded Maternity and In fant Care Program is scheduled for the coming months by the County Health Department. Dr. C. P. Stevick, Health Officer, will supervise the local activities from Chapel Hill for the next few weeks prior to the arrival of a substitute while he completes a course in Public Health at the University of North Carolina School of Public Health. HOW TO RENEW "A" GASBOOKS Local Boards to Begin Distribution This Month Recorder's Court Judge Paul Webb of Recorder's Court had a light docket on Tues day of this week. Ed Hunter, tried the preceding week and found guilty of reckless driving was as sessed with part of the damage to the car of Leo Lawrence, Agree ment was reached between the par ties concerned for him to pay $75. Other cases were 12 or 15 traffic violators. ' RALEIGH, Sept 15 De tailed instructions for mail renewal of "A" gasoline ra tion books in the Raleigh OPA listrict have been for warded to War Price and Rationing Boards with the suggestion that application forms be distributed as soon as possible, Theodore S, Johnson announced today. Local rationing boards will be gin distribution of new books this month. Boards in many localities are nearly ready to mail out the renewal forms, OPA reported. The expiration date of eastern motorists' present "A" books is undetermined, Johnson emphasiz ed. It had been hoped that an im provement in the gasoline supply situation might make possible an increase in' "A" rations for Tar Heel auto owners. This increase would have been accomplished by advancing the present expiration date of "A-6" coupons from No vember 21 to sometime in October. At the present time, however, the supply situation in the East is not sufficiently improved to make an increase possible, and motor ists must plan to make their "A 6" coupons last through Novem ber 22. The renewal procedure will be simple. In some communities mo torists may obtain forms at places to be announced by the boards. In other localities, boards are plan ning to mail out forms to motor ists now- holding "A" books. In either case applicants for re newed rations may mail the forms back to the board. The applicant must be sure to attach (1) thu back cover of his present "A" book properly signed, and (2) a current tire inspection record showing that proper inspect.ons have been made. After checking the applications to make sure that the motorist is entitled to a new "A" book, the board will issue it through the mail. All "A-7" cou pons (first page) will be detached from the new books. Motorists, on the date that the new book be comes valid, will begin using "A 8" coupons. These coupons will not be accepted for purchases of gasoline until that date, which will be announced. In other parts of the country new "A" books were issued eai'ly in the summer and motorists be gan using them on July 22. ANNUAL MEETING OF C.C. GROUPS TB, Infantile, and Crippled Children Bodies Review Work Plan for 1943-44 The Carteret County Tu berculosis Association, the County Chapters of the Na tional Foundation for Infan tile Paralysis and of the N.

Of something over ?1000 worth of seals and bonds sold, 25 per cent went to the State Associa tion but came back to us in large part in literature and the servic es to two health educators this summer.

Matters discussed on which no action was taken was a recrea tional place and parking on Front Street. The latter becomes some what acute again as out-of-i,own trucks complain of no places to unload merchandise for stores and have gone so far as to refuse to come in if places are not made available.
