CITY EMPLOYES CUT night. “The question of more thorough medical examination before and at certain periods after marriage was discussed in the public health meeting dur:ng the North Carolina Medical Association convention held recently at Duiham,” says Dr. J. Symington, public health officer, “in which dis cussion I took part, and we find also that the same subject is being discuss ed at the capital at Raleigh, whence it is reported that the state of Vir ginia keeps a record of marriage li censes issued in that state in connec tion with its vital statistics depart ment. The director of that work in Virginia reported a few days ago a net gain of 302 marriages in 1930 over 1929. The director pointed out, however, that the increase was more apparent than real. He called atten tion to the fact that in North Caro lina and Tennessee there is a law re quiring a five-day waiting period af ter notice has been published. In addi tion, North Carolina requires a phy sical examination and a certificate from a competent physician for both parties before marriage license can be legally issued. “As a result of evasion of these two laws by North Carolina people, the director of the Virginia vital statis tics calls attention to the fact that Danville reported 1,840 licenses issued in that city for 1930, which was 'only 34 fewer licenses than were issued in the city of Richmond. Danville has about one-fifth the population of Rich mond. It will be recalled that the newspapers of this section carried a story in large headlines the day af ter Easter Monday stating that 72 couples were married in the city court room in Danville, Virginia, on Easter Monday, practically all of them being from North Carolina. “This record is nothing short of a shame for the people of this state. There is no more important law for the protection of the health of women, and for unborn children especially, than the physical examination law in North Carolina, which requires a health certificate before license can be issued. The evasion of this law, by running to Virginia or South Carolina to get married, will undoubtedly go a long way toward keeping the institu tion for the blind doing business for a long: time to come, and also will be a contributing factor to the prosperity of many a surgeon who specializes in diseases of women. “Let it be plainly understood that no charge is made that all the persons who evade the physical examination law are harboring disease. This is by no means true. Naturally there is a hesitancy on the part of young people , to submit to a physical examination attractive home of any kind for any purpose, and there > street last Thursday night, to is also a deep-seated tradition that ^ g“«sts were marriage is strictly the private busi- j'*"?* ness of the two contracting parties, j ^ most interesting hour of and therefore the idea of undergoing a i*'*’® Same Mrs. C.

What do you find? Going along at medium speed, you notice how smooth and quiet the engine is. You wonder how it will be at high speed, and a test shows it is iust as smooth. For Pontiac's 60 h. p. engine is big enough to do all you ask without laboring. Over a back road, Pontiac’s **rubber insulation" at 43 points in the chassis surely does take up road shocks and gives Pontiac fine-car riding ease. So do the four hydraulic shock absorbers, and the other niceties of design. You examine the Pontiac interior, and at once you see that the upholste^ if genuine mohair or whipcoi^* You nnd that seat springs are deep, cushions soft, and the driver's seat easy to adjust the way you like it. How about protection against heat^ cold, and rain?—you ask. And you learn that the fine Rsher«>built Pontiac body is weather-tight and leak-proof. Everything has been done for your complete comfort. There remains only Pontiac's effect on other people. Glances you notice along the street, and the comments of your friends soon settle thatl You know you are right in your Judgment. But don't stop at this imaginary test. Take a new Pontiac out on the road and ask it to do everything you want a car to do. Let it prove that it has the quality you want—then ask the price. It's a figure you will warmly approve. PONTIAC *799 MAKIN6 NEW FRIENDS AND KEEPING THE OL» delivered Two-door Seoan or Coupe, equipped and delivered in Aberdeen, $799.00. Sport Coupe $839.00.
