The HATI, a former YP patrol boat, has been donated by the U. S. Navy for use
in a large-scale human evaluation study of two anti-tuberculosis vaccines. To be con
ducted in the District of Jeremie, Haiti, the study is under the auspices of the Haitian-American
Tuberculosis Institute (H.AT.I.) which was organized to carry out the
study by a group of North Carolina scientists and the Republic of Haiti. The two vac
cines are the potentially superior Rl, developed in the research department of the
N. C. Sanatorium System, and the best of several BCGs, a widely used anti-tuberculosis
vaccine. Dr. H. Mac Vandiviere of Chapel Hill is the American co-director of H.A -T
I. The American sponsor is the North Carolina Tuberculosis Association, a Christ
mas Seal supported agency. The full scale program can be launched as soon as $70,000
is in the H. A.T.I, fund the amount needed for the first year of the five-year prog
ram. The HATI is slated to make a preliminary voyage to Haiti this month-
Negro High School Rescinded
Action Changing flame Of
The Davie County Board of
Education in their regular
meeting Monday voted to res
cind its action of November
6th changing the name of the
Davie County Training School
to Montgomery High School.
The action came following
a request of the advisory com
mittee of the Davie County
Training School not to name
it the Montgomery High
School. Members of the ad
visory committee met with
the Board of Education, Mon
day. Further study will be made
and a new name for the school
will be chosen prior to the
opening of school next fall.
For the remainder of the year
the school will go under the
name of Davie County Train
ing School.
Senior Citizens
To Heel
On Monday, December 11,
at 10:30 P. M. members of
the Senior Citizens Club will
meet at the Recreation Cen
ter. A covered dish dinner
will be served following the
meeting.
According to Mr. Temple,
dsability insurance benefits
may be paid to a worker un
der age 65 who meets the
employment and disability re
quirements of the law. "As in
the case :t the Willard John
sons, a claim for these bene
fits must be filed. If a claim is
not filed at the proper time,
the disabled worker and his
family stand to lose benefit
payments. A kindly neighbor
may not be near to advise as
in the Johnson case. There
fore, the best plan to avoid
the risk of losing payments
is for the worker to get in
touch with the social security
office as soon as possible af
ter he becomes disabled,"
Temple said.
Mrs. Boyce Whitener of
Mocksville is a patient at Da
vie Hospital.

Extended Area Service can
now be made available for
telephone customers in the
Cooleemee and Mocksville ex
changes through an agree
ment that has been reached
between the Cooleemee Tele
phone Company and the Cen
tral Telephone Company, an
nounces Mr. I. H. Huske, Ge
neral Manager of the Cool
eemee Telephone Company.
Extended Area Service in
this area makes it possible for
the telephone subscriber to
dial his own calls into Mocks
ville, thus eliminating the pres
ent toll charges. The subscri
ber can talk as often as he
wishes, and talk as long as
he wishes without having to
pay any toll charge.
A recently completed stu
dy, made by the Coolee
mee Telephone Compa
ny and the Central Telephone
Company makes this service
available. Such a study was
requested by numerous inter
ested parties, both in Coolee
mee and Mocksville. The N.
C. Uitilities Commission has
approved this service and has
authorized the Cooleemee Te
lephone Company and the
Central Telephone Company
to conduct a poll of their cus
tomers to determine if the
majority of them desire to
have the Extended Area Ser
vice. All the subscribers of
the Cooleemee Telephone Co.
will be contacted immediate
ly either personally or by
mail and given the oppor
tunity to express their wish
es concerning the Extended
Area Service through a ballot
which will be circulated to
them.
If the planned Extended A
rea Service is approved by
the Cooleemee and Mocksville
subscribers, it will enable the
Cooleemee Telephone users to
have access to approximate
ly fifteen hundred (1500)'
phones in the Mocksville area
on a local basis, with the
present toll charges between
these points eliminated, says
Mr. Huske.
It is expected that this ser
vice can be provided in a
bout fourteen (14) months af
ter the vote has been taken,
if the Extended Area Service
is approved by Cooleemee's;
and Central's customers.
In order to obtain Extend
ed Area Service due to the
cost of providing facilities for
the same, it is necessary for
the monthly telephone rates
in Cooleemee to be increased.
The new rates for Coolee
mee subscribers will be as
follows:
BUSINESS SERVICE
1 Party $7.50
2 Party $6.00
4 Party $5.00
Rural $5.00
RESIDENCE SERVICE
1 Party $5.75
2 Party $4.50
4 Party $3.75
Rural $3.75
Mr. Huske states that the
Extended Area Service plan is
another progressive move by
the Cooleemee Telephone Com
pany to further enlarge and
improve the Cooleemee sub
scriber's facilities. The new
service would not only en
able business establishments
to contact more people but
it would also make it possi
ble for residential subscrib
ers to contact friends, rela
tives, families, business and
professional people in the
Mocksville area without a
toll charge.
