Letter In Three
Envelopes Comes
Back To White
Julius A. White, Jr., who several
months ago returned to Roxboro
after serving in France and England
with the U. S. Army, received a let
ter Tuesday which was mailed to
him in France from Roxboro in Feb
ruary by his sister, Miss Rosalie
White. There was nothing unusual
about the letter, an "air-mailer",
except that it came back to Rox
boro 1/ three envelopes, the outside
one addressed to his sister, trte sec
ond re-addressed to the former sol
dier, then in France, and the final
inside one with the same address,
marked on the back, Damaged in
plane wreck".
The envelope, the original one,
was damaged, too, being burned
about the edges and having the ap
pearance of once being wet as well
as muddy, but young Mr. White
! thinks the fact that the letter fin
ally caught up with him furnishes
pretty good evidence of the effici
ency of the War Department’s post
al system. The letter, incidentally,
was still readable.

Jeffreys Suggests
Roxboro Should
Be On Super-Road
In Roxboro yesterday was E. B.
Jeffress, of Greensboro and Chapel
Hill and the Greensboro Daily-
News, who said he was riding
through the country investigating
proposed routes for the State's sup
er-highways for trucks. Jeffress,
former State Highway commission
er, advances opinion that one of
the proposed roads should come
through Roxboro, Oxford and Hend
erson and go on to Wise, Va., his
contention being that such a route,
passing through Roxboro to Haw
River, would be shorter and cheap
er, with better grading.
Such a proposal as that suggest
ed by Jeffress would leave out Hills
boro and Durham. Mr. Jeffress con
tends that truck-line operators are
not interested in touching a lot of
cities and would much rather get
where they are going quickly and
with dispatch.

(Two More Men
Out Under Points
Two more Roxboro soldiers have
received discharges under the point
system, it was learned today. One
is Pfc. Eugene Roberson, of Long
hurst, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Rob
serson, while the other is Sgt. Rich
ard C. Blalock, of Timberlake, son
of Mrs. Agnes Blalock.
Pfc. Roberson is a veteran of
forty-two months of overseas ser
vice, having been at Saipan and the
Marianas, while Sgt. Blalock, in the
service five years and overseas for
many months in Hawaii, has more
recently been at Craig Field, Selma,
Ala. Sgt. Blalock's father, the late
Richard C. Blalock, was a veteran
of World War I.
First thing that Sgt. Blalock did
Wednesday after getting his dis
charge Tuesday at Fort Bragg was
to buy a completely new civilian
outfit, mostly blue and of sports
type, plus a new straw hat. He also
has his eye on another civilian suit
or two, but is not yet ready to an
nounce what his civilian occupation
will be.
Sgt. Blalock, who is a brother of
Clarence Blalock, of Roxboro, has
two brothers in the service: Tech.
Sgt. Maxie C. Blalock, in service
for four years and now in the South
Pacific, and Chief Petty Officer
Berlie G. Blalock, of the Navy, on
duty for four years and now with

Whooping Cough
Vaccinations To
Be Available
Clinics To Be Held For Vacci
nations Soon.
The Person Health Department
announced today that it has a new
supply of Whooping Cough Vaccine
and that Vaccination against this
disease will be given Mondays 2:00-
4:00 p. ms., and Saturday mornings
9:00-12:00. Rural clinic dates will
be announced later.
Citizens of Person are reminded
that the State laws require all chil
dren to be vaccinated against
Whooping Cough before entering
public schools unless they have al
ready had this disease.
Whooping Cough is one of the
most common of childhood diseases
and probably causes more deaths in
early childhood than any other com
municable, a fact often overlooked.
The presence of rnfantile Paralysis
or Meningitis in the community us
ually causes great alarm, but as a
matter of fact, Whooping Cough
causes more deaths than both of
these diseases put together. It takes
its toll from infants, particularly
those who are delicate, says health
authorities.
Tlie disease is now present in this
community, It is highly catching
and children who have not previ
ously had the disease will catch it
if exposed to those who have it.
An effective vaccine has been de
veloped within the recent few years
by scientists and it has been proved
that children can be successfully
vaccinated and immunized against
this disease.
Medical treatment for Whooping
Cough after it has once developed
may moderate the disease and some
what relieve the symptoms but it
does not cure it. Once a case has
developed it runs a course of 5 or 6
weeks, sometimes longer, and serious
complications such as pneumonia
are not uncommon. It is far better to
Vaccinate the well child and protect
him against the disease rather than
to wait until he has contracted
| Whooping Cough.
Whooping Cough travels. A young
•mother with a- sick infant in her
I arms was recently seen on a crowd -
led bus passing through Person
i county. Among the passengers on
I the bus were a number of children,
i The sick infant had numerous
(spasms of coughing while on the
| bus, thereby exposing all passengers.
; It is quite probable that in 7 to 10
I days the children who were on the
bus and exposed to this sick infant
will develop the disease and in turn
give it to others.

the OPA officials.
Sent with the Post Card order
must be trie OPA Permit Number
assigned to the sender, as it is this
| number that must be made into a
rubber stamp. It is reported at the
| Roxboro OPA office that around 160
farm slaughtering permits have
been issued, but that relatively few
of the famers have secured the
stamp. The law' requiring a grading
stamp became effective on July 15.
Chief effect of the requirement—
! until the stamp numbers are se
cured—is expected to be a reduction
in the quantity of meat available
locally, since farm slaughterers are
not permitted to sell either at whole
sale or retail until the stamps are
secured by them.
