- AT FIVE COUNTY FAIR - 'ayri^ \ B r, ' % '!\ V 'ZW'jKm *iSM*- "~ " jjl Jife THREE ERWINGOS TO BE AT FIVE COUNTY FAIR For years audiences throughout the world have thrilled to the in trepid mastery over the ether of the Three Erwingos, whose sensa tional performance is based on an entirely new conception of aerial art. Suspended 60 feet in the air, the Erwingos, composed of two attrac tive girls and a male in support, proceed to defy the laws of gravity in their finely wrought gymnastic creation. Their forte is the cloud swing combined with iron jaw or “teeth” work The male member swings his form while suspended from a thin rope, doing aerial somersaults, balancing and hazar dous drops. The girls spin and whirl while hanging by their teeth and, in a captivating climax, they tighten their grips on the mouthpiece and hold their male partner as he bal ances on a rope. They use no safety device, no net, attesting to the astonishing confi dence in themselves. The attrac tion has been imported from Europe. SAFETY FIRST (We reprint another safety let ter received from the Texas Co. We believe all motorist would do well to follow the following ad vice. —Editor) ALL EMPLOYEES, CONSIGNEES AND DISTRIBUTORS Gentlemen: “Keep your mind on your driving while you’re driving” is good phil osophy. If you don’t, a serious ac cident may result. The percentage of automobile ac cidents chargeable to inattentive drivers is not available. It is cer tain that collisions with other mo tor vehicles, pedstrians and fix ed objects are largely due to the failure of the operators to watch the road. Many drivei% get into tight plac es and have accidents because they do not think far enough ahead and anticipate what other drivers are going to do. Especially should you watch the roads, streets, and highways when they are wet, leaf-strewn, icy or 1 HJBi li&DULUII JMVUUIM/, THE ERWINGOS when there is a fog. There is much danger due to skidding on wet pavements as well as from wet leaves in the autumn months. When it comes to icy surfaces, it is hardly necessary to enlarge upon this phase: you know what to ex pect. Fog causes lots of trouble, too, and added precautions should be taken. “Watch the Road”, that’s the slo gan the Texas Company wants to impress upon the minds and hearts of each of its drivers. With a repu tation such as this, we will continue to hold the good-will of the public Yours very truly, JRW:JPE J. R. Walker Report Malaria At Once Raleigh ‘‘ln order to properly control malaria, now a reportable disease, it is highly important that the State Board of Health know where each case occurs”, said Dr. J. C. Knox, State Epidemiologist. “During the past few yearsi there has been an increase in the inci dence of malaria in North Carolina, reflected in an increased number of deaths, and also shown by every other method for determining it prevalence. While the disease was not declared reportable until May 25 of this year, and the total num ber of cases for any previous year or series of years cannot, therefore, be accurately determined, yet mor tality records show there were 150 deaths from malaria in North Car olina in 1936, as compared with 94 in 1935. Provisional reports for the first half of 1937 also show there is an increase in the number of deaths so far this year, as compar ed with the corresponding period of 1936. “The procedure to be followed in reporting malaria is the same as that used in reporting other notifi able diseases. Each case should be reported on the regular card fur nished by the local health depart ment or obtained from the State Board of Health. Each of these, bearing full information, should be be mailed to the county or city health officer, or quarantine officer who in turn forwards the cards to the State Board of Health. “Considerable work has been done for the control of malaria in North Carolina, including the re cent digging of 4,867,458 feet, or 22 miles, of ditches, draining 12,- 416 acres of malaria breeding area. Prompt reporting of every case will greatly aid in determining the incidence of malaria and show where there is greatest ned for ex tended work looking toward con trol.” HAVE YOU A LITTLE PHOBIA? (An editorial from the Rotarian Magazine) Do you have a phobia (one of those fashionable, unreasonable fears) ? Life today is hardly com plete without at least one. To be very elementary, take claustropho bia, the dread of enclosed spaces. Do the walls of your office oppress you? Would you bounce oaths '~st them or kick them? If you , go ahead. Everyone expects , for you are a claustrophobe. ou run away screaming when you see a furry animal or Then you are a doraphobe. say you wish your wife ) ana at your club luncheon do you blench when the waitress slops coffee into your saucer? If you do it’s quite possible that you’re a spillumjavaphobe or some such thing. Perhaps you’ve developed the morbid fear of suddenly being called upon to speak-or of not be ing called upon. For such there is no doubt a name. But for one phobia that now and then disturbs some clubs and civic organizations there is a real and recognized name. It is ergasiopho bia, the fear of work. When a short-handed committee chairman approaches you, do you creep down into your socks ? Don’t, if you want to break your phobia. Instead, say (however meekly), “Wall, I’ll try it this once.” For the beat way to sunder an ergasiophobia, the psy chotherapist would say, is to recall when and how it first began, to note how silly it was to start ha ting work, and then to begin doing the very thing you’ve been fearing this long while. WOOD HOUSES WILL GIVE GOOD SERVICE INDEFINITELY There is no secret about long life and satisfactory service of wood in a house, according to en gineers at the Forest Products laboratory, Madison, Wis., a sec tion of the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture. The greatest destroyers of wood in buildings are decay and termites. In most parts of the United States it is a very simple matter to build a house in such a manner as to keep them out. Decay in wood is caused by the growth of very low forms w) plants, called fungi, that use the wood for food However, fungi can not grow without moisture. Even the so-called dry-rot fungi must have moisture, altough they have the ability to carry moisture many feet from the ground or other sources of supply, and hence are able to destroy wood that appears to be dry. To avoid decay do not allow wood to be in contact with The ground or enough to be come damp. Do not place wood floors over damp concrete or let wood posts extend down into base ment floors. If your home is to have no basement, provide good ventilation beneath it to remove the stagnant air that would other wise carry moisture from the ground to the wood. Do not allow moisture to accumulate from leaky roofs or defective flashing around windows, doors, *or chimneys. When it is impracticable to avoid conditions favorable to decay in certain parts of the house, it may be well to build these parts of wood that has high resistance to decay, such as heartwood or one may use other wood treated with a suitable preservative. This pre sents the growth of fungi in wood by poisoning their food supply. Fortunately the precautions that are efective against decay are, for the most part, effective against termites. Wejl treated woods are safe from their attack. When ter mites are particularly active they may build their tunnels up the 4 SEE US FOR YOU M I TOBACCO BARN ■ FLUES w lIIAP ■ H ■ BETTER FLUES B I | i>:ss MONK m If Flue Don’t Fit ! Don’t Cuss.
