ONCE UPON MARCH 9th Though inoculation was introduced to the West from the Near East, by an Englishwoman, and vaccination was discovered by another Eriglish rnan, the practice of prevention of smallpox —the first contaigious dis ease which man found he could pre vent —became general throughout New England long before it did in Eng land because of Zabdiel Boylston, who was born in Brookline, Mass., 259 years ago today. When a smallpox epidemic broke out in Boston, Boylston, then the town's leading physician, introduced into the new world the system of in oculation which he had learned was carried on in eastern countries. Fel low physicians unanimously opposed the infidel innovation and aroused the town officials to enact an ordin ance prohibiting it. But Boylston defied the ilaw, supported, surpris ingly, by Cotton Mather, who believ ed in witchcraft, and other clergy men. Scared Bostonians placed their faith in Boylston's new way of chas ing out the devils that plagued man, and the death rate from smallpox dropped away almost to nothing. Os 286 persons Boylston inoculated in one group, only six died. Thereafter medical practice brought Boylston wealth, and his researches made him the first American to gain •wide scientific ifccognition His talents were not confined to medicine and he was a notable natur- WhaTDo" YoT Know About North Carolina? By FKED H. MAY 1. How many North Carolina gover nors have been hanged? 2. Where did Governor Ehringhaus’ people come from? 3. How much “tax in kind” ha'’ North Carolina paid to the Confed eracy by June 1864? 4. What was Dr. Kilgo’s reply to the criticism that he was accepting “blood money’’ for Trinity College? 5. How much wearing apparel was bought and manufactured for North Carolina prisoners last year? 6. Why was Warren county’s repre sentative expelled in 1786? ANSWERS. 1. Only one—William Drummond, who was governor of the colony from 1663 to 1667, was hanged in Virginia in 1676 by order of Governor Berkley, of Virginia 2. John C. Ehringhaus came from Westphalia, in Germany, and settled in Elizabeth City early in the Nine teenth Century. He married Matilda Gregory, of a prominent Eastern Car olina family. 3. Three million pounds of bacon. 75,000 tons of hay and fodder, 770,000 bushels of wheat, and other kinds o' crops to the value of $150,000. By that time the State also had paid $10,000.- 000 in other taxes to the Confederacy 4. Some Methodists severely cri ticised Dr. Kilgo for accepting large donations from the Duke’s at the time the church was condemning the use of cigarettes. Dr. Kilgo’s answer wa that if it was sinful to manufacture cigarettes then it was a sin to grow tobacco; that if it was wrong for the college to accept money from th Duke’s then it was wrong for preach ers to accept on their salaries am funds donated by any persons engag ed in the tobacco industry. 5. The last fiscal report shows wear ing apparel to the amount of $86,897. 01 was purchased, and the prison de partments manufactured $85,132.07 worth of wearing apparel. 6.

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY 20 Years Ago Today—Last elements of the 32nd Division arrived overseas. This division was composed of Na tional Guardsmen from Michigan and Wisconsin, plus drafted men.. Reorganization of the AEF was completed, in preparation for its first independent campaign. It was decid ed to divide it into army corps con sisting of six divisions, each on the basis of the three-line method of trench warfare evolved in France. Three corps were to comprise a field army. In addition to the six infan try divisions, each corps commander was to have under him about 30,000 men known as corps troops, compris ing artillery units, engineers and ser vice battalions for work on the com munications lines. That same day, negotiations were completed between U. S. and Spain whereby Gen. Pershing was enabled to obtain mules, blankets and other supplies in* Spain, in exchange for cotton, oil and other commodities sent to Spain from the U. S. In Washington, the War Council was strengthened by the addition of Maj. Gen. George W. Goethals (build er of the Panama Canal). Edward R. Stettinius (steel magnate). and Gen. Peyton C. March, the Chief of Staff, and its first step was to take Congress into its confidence by in viting members of the Senate Mili tary Committee and the House Milm tary Committee to attend secret ses sions of the Council. others’Tiews PARENTS, WAKE UP! To the Editor: Through all the years that I have lived in Henderson including the years that I attended Henderson high school, I have been ashamed to have to tell “out-siders” that we had no music of any kind taught in our schools, except a few songs to he sung at commencement. In my humble estimation, no per son can really be educated without knowing something about music; any more than he can be educated with out knowing something about his tory, art, or many other subjects. Do we not wish our boys and girls to be well rounded, learning something of , Upsets Soviet Trial - v ' •-"*•••••••-■ frHUpoflimiTiiiii • \:V 11 Nikolai Krestinsky . . . refuses to plead guilty An awkward upset marked the trial of 21 defendants in Soviet Russia’s latest treason case in Moscow when Nikolai Krestinsky, former vice commissar of foreign affairs, refused to join his co prisoners in abject pleas of guilty to all charges. The others, fol lowing example set by others in previous trials, threw themselves on the mercy of the court, know ing that death sentences virtually were inevitable. Under Soviet law, prisoners are not brought to trial unless they already have ad mitted their guilt. The trial is to determine sentence Old (Un)reliable! as many things as possible during their short school course? I realize that very few boys and girls are really musical, and that some may never be able to ever whistle a tune, but I believe some study of music will help to develop their minds as surely as the study of mathematics, or reading, will. Al most everyone can learn to sing, and I hope the time will come when it will be as much of a disgrace to sing dis cords as it is to mispronounce words when reading in public. In the years to come, our boys and girls who learn to sing the correct ores in choral club will get untold pleasure out of being able to join in the songs in church, in clubs, or wherever they may get the chance to sing. Even if they never learn to sing, they can enjoy other people's music more, if they know a little something about it. Many people have been so happy this school year that we are actually making a start in trying to hare some music taught in our high school. It was such an “unheard of” subject over there, that very few children were even interested enough to try to lear.n it. Therefore, to get it started, Mr. Payne had to make it compulsory for all .freshman and -ophomore students to join the choral clubs, and each child is to receive one-half unit credited on their school course each year that they take the course, as I understand it. Parents, do you believe that your child can take any course that will mean more to them in the years to come? I do not believe that it is possible for them to study a’ny sub ject that they will remember longer than music. Even if I jvere not in terested in music, I would not per mit a child of mine to “walk out” on any school project without some pun ishment if for no better reason than Mother to Give Eye for Baby V t v . il jß|K£ M «hbi 4 WS wm ■' f Roger Laverty, 2, of Lansdale, Pa., is pictured above.

I do not be lieve the boys would have done such a thing, as two-thirds of -the boys’ choral club did in their spring con cert ,if their parents had been en couraging them in the course, and had been present at the concert to hear them sing. For my part, I cannot understand how any soul who does not have some love of music, can be happy in heaven. One way that we can en courage our children in their music ,is 'to attend itheiir performances whether we really enjoy the programs or not, and any person who does not enjoy hearing a group of children sing is a mystery to me.

PORK INSPECTORS SOIM SCOTT Commissioner of Agricul ture Seeks Stabilization of Price Level Raleigh, March u —Kerr Scott, State commissioner of agriculture, today moved to obtain appointment of “pork inspectors” in North Caro lina, with the announced intention to “eliminate price confusion” .caused by the custom of buyers in classing pork as “soft” and “oily.” He said he is asking North -Caro lina’s Congressmen to seek appoint ment of these inspßcto"« bv the fed eral Department of Agriculture. He pointed out that unde rthe pre sent system of marketing hogs the buyers class the pork as “soft” and “oily,” paying much less for the * _r oily ’ than for “soft" and much less for that than for hard pork. “Frequently the difference between a profit and a loss for the hog rais er is the difference in price between | soft and oily pork”, Scott said, i He said that the unscrupulous buy er or butcher has virtually a “price fixing privilege” because he reserves the right to retain a part of the price contracted to pay the producer until he decides what classification the pork falls into, when a fraction of the retained money is paid over to the producer. f Under the present system the butcher is allowed to retain $1.50 per hundred pounds of pork sold in order that he may make adjustments on the basis of soft and oily pbrk which are so classed by his own employes. Soft pork is usually classified at 75 cents per 100 pounds less than hard pork and oily pork is penalized $1.50 per 100 pounds,” he said. “Our market division has reported that many growers have been pen alized as much as 12 per cent on the! basis of soft-and-oily system and in many instances large-scale operators report period reductions of more than five per cent of the legitimate value of hard pork at current prices.” “Employment of government inspec tors would eliminate these abuses al most entirely.” STATE S BALL CLUB Rising Sophs, Transfer Stu dents and Holdovers Make Bid for Team State College, Raleigh, N.
