Farmers Strike?
i
Edgar. Neb., A nation-wide
farmers’ “strike against strikes” is
the object of Clay county farmers
who voted to withhold their pro
ducts from market until indus
trial disputes are settled.
“That’s what we’re working for.”
said V. Hubert Johnson, Edgar
farmer who helped organize a
meeting at which 271 farmers of
this dairy and livestock farming
area voted the action.
“You might say we’ve got our
Irish up,” the 46-year-old planter
declared. “We need farm tools and
machinery, bathtubs and refrig
erators. Why, you can’t even buy '
a pair of overalls out here.”
Out-Patient
Plan For Vets
Has Approval
Charlotte, Jan.—Approval of an
• out-patient''' medical service for
returned war veterans has been vot
ed by the executive committee of
the North Carolina Medical society,
it was announced by Dr. Oren
Moore, of Charlotte, society presi
dent.
Moore said tile program, which
will begin as soon as a contract is
signed with the veterans administra
tion, would be the second of its
kind in the United States, Only
rMichigail, he said, now has such a
plan of treatment for its discharg
ed servicemen.
The vete ra n s administration,
Moore added, will receive the con
tract at once and is expected to
approve the plan in the immediate
future.
As the medical society itself can
not negotiate such contracts, Moore
said the Hospital Savings assicia
tion of Chapel Hill had been desig
nated as its agent to confer with
the veterans administration ' and
also to administer the program
when it is given final approval.
Final details of the plan wer;
completed yesterday at a meeting
of the executive committee in Ra
leigh. The committee, Moore ex
plained, has the authority to act
for the entire state society.
Under terms of the out-patient
plan, veterans with service-connect
ed disabilities or illness can receive
hospital and other treatment in
their home communities, from their
own private physicians or such
specialists as may be needed. The
government, through the veterans
administration, will pay doctors fees
and other costs of the program.
A special committee of the execu
tive group was, named to study the
fee schedule offered in the contract
with the veterans administration,
Moore said. He added that the fees
appeared "generally acceptable” to
members of the bigger committee.

Mayor Winstead, of Roxboro, Mr.
[Cobb and Mr. Waters were named
to the new board several weeks ago
by Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, of Ra
leigh. State Health officer, and these
members in turn selected the other
J members now on the board, which

Other classifications are Resell,

perintendent, James as a druggist,
etc. The new board takes the place
of individual county boards of
health for eacli county ill the tri
county system and the new set-up
is expected to provide a better
working program for over-all coop
eration in the three-county district.
Number of stated meetings has
j not yet been announced, but it is
thought that the meetings will be
monthly, or else on a quarterly
basis, Mayor Winstead, was a mem
ber of the original Person board,
j which had as many as five mem

; j Dixon's body was brought in by ath
j bulance. but Carver, reportedly was
I taken to the hospital by a taxi,
at noon that she has thus far sold i
around four thousand plates, includ
ing those for trucks and trailers |
and that she should sell at least
four thousand plates for passenger
cars alone. Business, according to
Mrs .Rogers, has been in no last
minute rush today.
At City Hall, where City plates
are on sale, it was reported that
four hundred have been bought and
that about one hundred more will
have to be purchased to fill out the
normal City total.
Neither Hudgins nor the Motor
club office could give an estimate
lof the number of motorists who
I have not yet bought State plates,

persons have been remiss in this
i matter.
