NEGLECT OF PARENTS CAUSES DEATH OF MANY NORTH CAROUNA CHILDREN Stiff Fine Provided For Parents Failing To Have Children Immunized Against Diphtheria ^ Medical statistics indicate a 100% increase in diphtheria in North Carolina cases reported * through September* and October of this year as compared with figures for the same period of last year. These are the months when this disease strikes. Judging from the current' statistics 1J47 will be a more severe year fer diphtheria than 1946. A great measure of respon sibility for this unhappy turn of events can be laid on the parents of North Carolina's young chil dren despite a law enacted by the General Assembly on March 17, 1939, requiring the parents or guardians of all North Caro That Na^in<3 Backache May Warn of Disordered Kidney Action uoaern i irresuisr hi drinking?i tion?thro* Modern life with its hurry and worry, habits, improper eating ana -its riek of expoeure and infec irowe heavy strain on the work of the kidneys.

Further leeway was allow* ed to have the immunization completed by the physician of their choice or by a County Health Officer at no charge. Sfince parents are either unaware of this statute or are disregarding it one of the State's largest hospi tals has reported a definite increase in the number of children who are admitted witty diphtheria. Last year ! through lack of proper parental i i care many children unnecessarily died from this disease. Had they been taken by their parents to a doctor or clinic for "shqjs" at the age of six months they would be i alive and well today. Doctors can not urge too strongly that two or preferably three shots be given every child at intervals of at least six weeks with a booster dose from one to two years later. One does not always protect. In addition to the shots a Schick test should be done three months after the shots and every year thereafter.*These tests should also be performed on any child who has had diphtheria for unless they are protected the disease may strike again. The physician or health of ficer can give a combined shot which will protect also against whooping cough and lockjaw. In cities where most of the chil dren have been protected against diphtheria the disease has almost disappeared and no children sue comb from it. Sifice almost every mother has been told of these shots only three reasons can account for the fact th$t so many ignore the advice and refuse the precautions.

By STANLEY They may be afraid of the shots; they may be careless and forget ful; or they may not know that shots are available to every child in health departments, well baby clinics and hospitals whether the parents can pay or not. Diphtheria first shows up as a < sore throat, running nose, perhaps hoarseness, croup and difficulty is breathing. A child promptly taken to a clinic or doctor when he shows these symptoms can be given dip theria serum and quickly cured al though some of the younger chil dren may develop choking attacks and may need a silver tube placed in their throats so that they can breathe while the serum is curing them. Every mother must be sure to take her baby to a medical man as soon as any of these symptoms appear. She should not put off the doctor's visit on the grounds that the baby just had a "cold" or the croup. Unless the child has serum promptly he will gradually lose his strength and it may be too late to save him when he does come to the doctor's attention. I Eight percent of those children [who contract diptheria die. Any mother who has ever seen a child suffering from diphtheria, eyes popping, muscles straining for air and tossing from side to side in a fever will join with medital auth orities in urging parents to have theiryoung children innoculated immediately. Courses In Ceramics To Be Given At WCTC Two courses in ceramics, model ling, and pottery will be added to the fine arts division of the West | ern Carolina Teachers col^ge cur I riculum next year, according to the school's 1948-49 catalogue. In the industrial arts division I general metal work and design in metal, and general electricity, el ectrical appliances, and problems in electricity have been added. It was pointed out, however, that these courses will not be taught until equipment can be procured. Other changes to be made in clude: One year of modern language (excluding elementary) will be re quired of all students majoring or minoring in English, mathematics, or social science. Journalism and dramatics will be taught one quarter only, for Eng lish majors and minors who plan to teach. These courses are being offered to prepare future English teachers for the work it is expect ed they will have to do on school publications and plays. All freshmen who do not pass the English proficiency test will be required to take sub-college Eng lish ? and if they don't pass the test after taking the course, they must take it again. Three hours' credit will be given students who play in the orchestra and the band, and who meet the requirements of their instructors. Dark lamp shades absorb light. The same bulb will give 50 per cent more light with a white or ivory shade.

Mr. and Mrs. Felix Hooper and SOIL CONSERVATION IS VALUABLE ASSET, DECLARES BANKER Soil is not listed as an item under a bank's inventory, but every i banker knows that it is as much! an asset to their business as if it were capital stock, says G. C. Hunt er, executive vice-president of the Peoples Bank of Roxboro and chairman of the Agriculture Com mittee of the North Carolina Bank ers Association. "History shows that nations built by soil mining economy al ways fade when the soil exhaust ed," Mr. Hunter" said, "and no civilization is stronger than the food it eats." Fifty million acres of this na tion's most productive land has al ready been destroyed by erosion and an additional fifty million acres are threatened, he said. Al most one-third of our soil has been washed down the slopes into streams and into the ocean. Unless conservation measures are taken, we may live to see the day when it will be hard to produce enough food to feed the people in the Unit Chapel Program Presented By Mrs. Lee's Room On last Friday afternoon at the regular weekly chapel program Mrs. Norma Lee's room was in charge. They presented two short plays. The first, "The Three Mat ches", was on fire prevention. The second, "I Pledge Allegiance", was a patriotic play.
