Wild Geese On Way Southward The wild geese are flying southward. Of course, they al ways fly south about this time of the year, so the flight is not unexpected. But it marks the approach of colder weather. Old timers say the passage this year is neither earlier nor later than usual and the cold weather they forecast may not come im mediately. but when the geese do go by it is a time to prepare for the coming of winter which may not be long delayed. Other migratory birds are also on their way to lands where snow and ice do not disturb them, but their passing is not so noticeable as the flight of the geese, so less attention is given to them.

CARELESS MATCHES AID THE AXIS * - -----■-1 Fires on farms fake approximately 3,500 lives and destroy about $100,000,000 worth of property each year, says K. \V. Graeber, Exten sion forester of N. C.

The health officer is glad of this opportunity to thank the physicians, school authorities, teachers and par ents of children for their splendid cooperation and help in the control of diphtheria in the districts of the three Plymouth schools. The period of danger is not yet over, but the problem has been kept well in hand so far, and it is necessary that we continue to cooperate if we are ex pected to control the disease and at the same time keep our schools op erating. There has been a recent outbreak of tuberculosis of cattle in North Carolina, perhaps due to the pur chase of outside new stock, or fail ure to have some of the herd test ed at the time the remainder of the herd was tested. Every animal of a herd should be tested for tubercu losis and Bang's Disease at least once each year by a qualified veterinarian. There is probable danger of drinking milk from any cow unless we know the animal does not have either of the two diseases. Our dairies through out the state are required to comply with the regulation. Display of Service Men Photos Grows Photographs and other pictures of Washington County men in the mil itary service of the nation are com ing to the Plymouth Furniture Com pany more and more rapidly.

More than 100 photographs are now on display. "It is taking a lot of our time to look after the pictures, but we are glad to do it,” said E. E. Harrell, owner of the firm. "We want a pic ture of every Washington County soldier, sailor, aviator and marine. It will be a collection we can all be proud of.’’ Meeting of Parent-Teacher Association Here Put Off -<s> The scheduled meeting of the Plymouth Parent-Teacher Association this week was postponed because of the weather.
