NO BIDS FOR BONDS ROAD The Board of Commissioners of Halifax County met last Tues day to consider bids for $250,000. 00 of Road Bonds, but found that none had been submitted for consideration. The bonds were 6 per cent Road Bonds and the fact that there were no bidders is indicative of the tense financial condition of the country at this time. The proceeds of the bonds were to have been used to con struct the proposed hard surface road from here to Weldon and other highway projects. Just what steps the Board of County Commissioners will now take is not known, if in fact, any decis ion at all has been reached. J. H.

AGE Interesting statistics with re gard to the age groups affected by typhoid fever have just been compiled by the State Board of Health. There has been a gener al belief prevalent that only peo ple of the so-called middle age s are susceptible to this disease. I The death certificates on file j with the State Board of Health show such an idea to be erro- noons. I During the first four years of joll'icial death registration in this ! state typhoid fever is given on ! death certificates as the cause of death of 2dii people above fifty years of age, and of 25 2 infants! Mr. K. j. Rankin, of Chapel who were under five years old. 11jn assistant director of the During that period five persons ; iureau of Extension, University above eighty-five years and 2s:of North Carolina, spent Tuesday under one year of age were vie-; jn town. tuns ot this preventable disease. These statistics show that typhoid j than it is oi sex or color; that, the j infant in the cradle and the old person approaching dotage are susceptible even as are those in the full course of adult strength. ' Because age is no bar to the. disease the State Board of Health' j is urging that the typhoid vac - , cine be taken b all, male and (female, white and black, children and aged. Three treatments of! the anti-typhoid accine means immunity for tw or three years; from death bv this cause. i ;SCHtUL BOARD PLACES i . .
