A PAIR OF LEGS We do not remember our first step, but recall being pi'etty proud when our two little legs hrst carried us all the way from Dad's chair to Mother’s in the living room. The first time we walked to school was another milepost, and when we rode around the block on our new by cycle, and finally came the day when we removed those shanks from public view, encasing them in our first pair of long trous ers. Since then those legs have carried us faithfully through a disappointing effort to learn the game of golf, through many a hard fought tenni?; battle, on through the launching of our business career, the shagging all over town for news for The Herald, the rush back to catch the first edition when we ran across a real story. Then came War, and those legs learned to march, march, march until we thought they’d drop off; and la ter to manipulate the pedal gadgets of those early Curtis J. N.’s (Jennies, we called ’em). On through life they’ve been faithful to their trusts. We think a lot of those legs. That’s why*-we are going to try to keep away from Charlotte jails—and Charlotte juries. WAS “BOB” PAGE RIGHT? “Was Bob Page right?’’ asks the Sanford Express, in com menting editorially on the reso lutions recently passed in honor of Aberdeen’s distinguished cit izen by the trustees of the Meth odist Orphanage at Raleigh. Mr. Page was long chairman of the board of that institution. After relating the splendid public rec- 01x1 of ^Ir. Page the resolution contained the following reference to his service in the national House of Representatives, and his attitude toward the World “War: ‘Mr. Page’s service in the National House of Representatives was distin guished. Early he was recognized as one of the ablest members of the ap propriations committee and piloted through some of the most important measures for the support of the gov ernment. Here he distinguished his in. herent faith in that economy essen tial to carrying out the best policies. His associates leaned on him. He was in line for chairmanship of that im portant committee when he voluntar ily resigned his seat in Congress and voluntarily retired to private life. Only a man of the highest devotion to conscience would lay down a great care impelled by sincere convictions. He was a pacifist in the best sense of that much abused word. He saw the coming of America’s entrance into the World War with misgivings and sadness. He did not believe the United States should permit herself to be drawTi into that holacaust. An advisor of Woodrow Wilson and a dis. ciple of his forward looking policies, Mr. Page could not in conscience go along with him in the course the President felt impelled to take. Mr. Wilson hoped to avert entrance into the war. Mr. Page was determined that by his vote the country would not become involved. His difference of conviction caused the parting of the ways between two strong patriots. Mr. Page, calmly and quieth, fealing that he was out of harmony with the pre vailing view of the voters of his dis trict, announced his retirement from Congress. It was not done without the struggle that comes to men whose conscience compels them to say: “I cannot do otherwise, God help me.” He returned home, gave himself fully to the service of his country in war work when a different course than he bad espoused had been decreed by those in high places. Some of those who criticised him at first, later came to honor and respect his courage when the results foreseen by Mr. Wilson were thwarted by the failure of his country to carry out the pledge, made by its responsible leaders at the be ginning of the war, that the United States would lead to make the World War the last sanquinity struggle to curse the world.” Correspondence OUR RETAIL DOLLARS Only four states of the 48 spent less per capita in retail trades in 1933 than North Caro lina. Some interesting figures are disclosed in the University of North Carolina’s News Let ter on the subject of Retail Dis tribution in, the country, among them those that show we have only South Carolina, Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi to thank for our not being at the bottom of the list of spenders. The per capita average in the United States in ’33 was $203. North Carolina’s was $115. Of the country’s .total retail trade expenditures that year, $25,- 037,225,000, North Carolina’s share was $363,111,000. In vol ume we rank 18th. The report lists this state as having 27,652 retail stores, em ploying 39,181 persons. The av erage annual earnings per full time employe in the state in 1933 was $817, compared with $1,116 in 1929, something else to charge against Old Man De pression. This decline is about the average for the entire coun try. Of the total spent at retail in ’33, food took 21.4 percent, gen eral merchandise 14.9 percent, automobiles (exclusive of filling stations) 13.6 percent, farmers’ supplies 13.6 percent, filling sta- jtions 9.8 percent, furniture and 1 household supplies 4.7 percent, I lumber, building and hardware 14.5 percent, apparel 5.5 percent, ! restaurants 3.4 percent and oth- ier stores 8.6 percent. I The year 1933 was not a good income year for North Carolina, and unquestionabl:# a retil cen- cus for 1934 would have found i North Carolina occupying a much better position. There are ■probably very few states in ' which income picked up relative- 'ly more during the year 1934 I than in North Carolina, and nat- jurall.v this was reflected in the I greatly increased retail trade. Partial evidence is the increased 1 income from our general sales tax, and the increase in motor car registration. INFANTILE -\ND CUNICS Editqr, The Pilot: I am being constantly asked ques. tions about whether children should attend Sunday School and church and young people’s meetings, and also as to whether the schools should open in Septenlber or not. It is difficult to give a positive an swer to these questions, and public health authorities are not in absolute agreement on this point. Some author ities would forbid all children up to the age of fifteen from collecting any where, inside or outside of church or school. On the other hand some au. thorities w'ould allow children to at tend Sunday School and church and young people’s meetings, and in the last epidemic in Canada of infantile paralysis the schools were kept open as usual. So far, in Moore county, we have not prohibited the assembling of churches or Sunday Schools or young people’s meetings, but have advised I when interrogated by individuals, thorough ver tilation, curtailment as to j the length of time of the gathering, and exclusion from such gatherings of any one suffering from cold or any such symptoms, and especially any one who has been in contact with an infantile paralysis case or visited an infected area. I have also been asked regarding the advisability of children coming to public health clinics. My advice re garding these clinics has been much the same as that given in regard to other gatherings. For every rule there is an exception, and there are other diseases to be fought besides infantile paralysis, and these diseases cause more death than infantile paralysis. Therefore when typhoid threatens, we hold clinics and vaccinate as many as possible, curtailing the time of as- I sembly as much as possible, and, of I course, having all the fresh air ob. I tainable. Many of the pjHic Health 1 clinics in Moore county during the j summer are held in the open air, as, for example, at Needham’s Grove, Hol ly Mount, Roseland and other places, and this is as it should be. Other clinics have been held on open veran das, which is almost as good. We ad vise the people of the different locall. ! ties, in selecting a place for a clinic, i to select it along these lines or in a ; well ventilated building if possible, and it is unfortunate if in certain cir cumstances a less desirable place has, from necessity, to be used. I When children are vaccinated 1 against typhoid, smallpox or diph- i theria a reaction is set up in the sys- , tern which frequently acts as a resist. ,ance to any disease invading the body, aside fro mthe specific disease the vaccinations are g^iven for. So that children attending these clinics, or vaccinated by their family physicians, j may possibly be in a better condition I to withstand and throw off an inva- ‘sion of the germs of poliomyelitis than ! unvaccinated children would be. Keeping children from acquiring di sease will help prevent, in a measure, ; the spread of poliomyelitis, for pol- i iomyelitis is often a sequel to anoth- ^ er disease which acts as a predispos. I ing cause. We feel, therefore, that the ! importance of stamping out typhoid I and other contagious diseases from I the county is as important as fight, ing poliomyelitis, which is not a very contagious disease, and clinics will be opened at the places applying for them as soon as there is an opening on the schedule. While poliomyelitis is a disease of dry, hot weather, and is expected to reach its summit in the months of July and August, as it may have done already, with increasing rainfall and cooler nights it may be expected to diminish. Regarding the opening of schools in September, that is a question that will have to be decided as we get near er the opening of the school session. I Would like to take this opportun ity to thank all those who have held arms, painted arms, written names, arranged clinics, opened the door on time or helped in any way whatsoever. —J.
