The moat ptauaible excuse for the

eaeary for Amundsen to seek tha Pale

Each plane has a month's ration,

be enough If a minor accident merely
delays the aircraft. But if tha flyers
are forced to abandon the planea they
will be compelled to strike out afoot

being able to bring down game with
their guns.
The plan of carrying al|sl»ss ap

aa accident. If trouble occurs any

la unlikely that the base party will bs

Should a mishap occur after a few

TO VACCINATE SURRY
COUNTY
A campaign will be launched by the
Surry County Health Department
beginning Monday. June Hth, in
which the 96.0*0 people in thU coun
ty will be offered free vaccination
for the prevention of tvphiod fever
and diphtheria. Dr. Lancaster and
hia assistant* have Made date* at
more than 40 place* ia the county
schedule which is advertised ia an
other column of The News.
"I believe that every infant and
every child from six months to 10
years should have three doses of
diphtheria vaccine one week apart."
Dr. Laacaated stated this week. "If
this were done we would have vary
little difficulty with diphtheria Aad
1 believe that children six years old
and grown psopls up to W should
have three doaas of typhafd vaccine,
-e week apart, ewee every three
years. This xrouSd practically erradi
cate this disease.
"They are not absolutely preven
tive but are 80 to » per cent certain,"
stated Dr. Lancaster. "Other pre
ventive measuree should he observ«d
at all times They go along »Hh
clean living, aad clean environments
which are demanded of every person
in this day and time. The people are
expected to do these things for them
selves.
"Few people realise that one and a

world to prevent small-pox. aad we
