on a narrow bridge and the brakes

for anyone to walk away from a

to know that we are mighty grate-

I know, he has no injuries, other
than briuses and soreness.
I have been keeping my ears op

about this election, considering
how strongly they feel. Many have
let their emotions reach a boiling

above normal.
I candied some apples the other
day for my children. Here is the
recipe in case you want to try
some. They are delicious, and easy
to do. Just be sure to cook the

Slayer's
Conviction
Upheld
H ii I i iii i i mtr &
The execution date for. James
(Pete) West, Duplin County Negro,
was set 'automatically for November
19 this week after the State Sup
reme Court found no error in his
conviction last April on charges of
murdering a 64-year old station op
erator. West was found guilty and sen
tenced during a special term of
Superior Court in Duplin County
last April. The Supreme Court dis
missed the appeal in one of nine
opinions handed down, and West's
death by gas at Central Prison was
scheduled automilically for Nov
ember 19. Only intervention by
Governor Cheri y could delay the
execution.
Evidence during the trial before
Judge John J. Hurney indicated
that West murdered the elderly
filling station operator last Janu
ary 22 at his place of business be
tween Wallace and Harrell's Store.
West fled the State, but was taken
into custody by FBI men in New
York City.
Duplin law enforcement officers
testified during the hearing that
West told them in New York, where
they had gone to return him to the
State, that he struck Johnson with
an axe and robbed his pocketbook
of between $145 and $146. Johnson
died shortly thereafter. His head
was crushed and he was cut badly
bout the face.
Several State's witnesses testi
fied that West was seen at the fill
ing station on the nriorning of the
arsault. West admitted the slaying,
but testified that he struck John
son in self-defense. lie told the
court that he became nvolved in an
argument with Johnson over a
check West had given him, and
that Johnson became angry, and
attacked him. lie admitted to rob
bing iiic man after' slaying him.

Program To Raise Money In
March Of Dimes Taking Shape
With polio epidemics threatening
to make 1948 the blackest year in
history atleast $30,000,000 must be
raised in the next March of Dime3
Drive, Mrs. Edna K. Stroud, Canv
paign Director for Duplin County,
declared today.
Returning from a regional meet
ing of campaign directors held in
Greenville, S. C.Mrs. Stroud re
ported that more than 21,000 cases
of . infantile paralysis already have
occurred this year. A record total
of between 28.000 and 30,000 cases
is indicated she said. The previous
worst year was 1916 with 27,3fi3
cases.
The March of Dimes meeting in
cluded representatives, from North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Mississippi, 'Alabama,
Tennessee and Virginia.
Every effort is being made lo pro
vide the best nf medical rare for
every patient ?nd there is complete
cooperation all down the line, the
campaign directors were told.
Instead of tapering off substan
tially with the advent of colder
weather, polio is still raging in
many states, and urgent calls for
outside aid from the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
are continuing every day.
At the same time, due to the
terrific outbreaks which have
swept large areas, emergency epi
demic aid funds of the Foundation
are now at the vanishing point. The
fund may face a $2,000,000 deficit
by January. This money borrowed
from research funds will hfive to be
replaced.
For this reason plans to hold the
greatest March of Dimes drive in
all the years of the polio fight were
discussed at the Greenville meet
ing. Recruiting of more volunteer
workers will begin at once, Mrs.
Stroud said.
About 250 March of Dimes work
ers attended the sessions held at
the Poinsett Hotel in Greenville
and a frank discussion of the prob
lems confronting the directors in
Monday night in the home of Miss
Penny Smith.
The Halloween motif was ca-ried
throughout the home with black
cats, witches, pumpkins and moss.
Everyone enjoyed the games and
house of horrors. The center of at
traction was the appearance of a
disguised member of the Smith
PYF. D. L. Smith actej as Palmist
during the evening. About 100
guests were served sandwiches,
cake and peps: colas.
their various communities was a
highlight .of the program. Mrs.
Stroud said:
'This is a black year for polio
hut we were deeply impressed with
what the Marcluof Dimes has done
and is dnine this vear to fight the
crippling disease in this section.
So far as is known, not one case of
polio has failed to receive, the ut
most medical care.
"Millions of dollars have , been
nnnreri into the epidemic areas and
scores of chapters have glad y
shared their funds to neip wose
whose treasuries were exhausted.
Funds are beine supplied by the
National Foundation whenever they
are needed and the fight is being
waged on every front.
"There is a big job ahead for the
March of Dimes but we know t!ie
people will respond when called
upon to do their Jull share."
Presiding at the meeting was
Warren D. Cross, of New York
City, National Director of Fund
Raising.

Duplinites Want
T. B. Control
Do we, the people of Duplin
County, want a Tuberculosis Con
trol Program? The question is be
fore us! The recent Mass X-Ray
Survey in our county brought very
vividly before us this need.
Ninety-six cases (active and in
active) were found. Many more un
suspected cases are to be found.
Only x-ray finds T.B. in its eai
liest stages. T.B. is not inherited.
It. is a contagious disease and can
be cured if found in time.
Rest is the main cure for T.B.,
however, many drugs have been
tried in its treatment. Two are very
promising at this time, Streptomy
cin, and an immunizing agent BCG
bacillus calmette guerin). Both,
