In an impressive ceremony, charac

"The Want Of You." Mrs. M. V.
Jones rendered a solo, "At Dawning,"
and a vested choir sang the Bridal

Il.w .I II -
Raleigh, May 27?Revenue receipts
to date idicate that sates tax collec
tion? for the current fiscql year, the
first year during which the levy has
applied to all ^groceries and meals,
will approximate $10,000,000, with a
possible differential of <100,000 each
way, said commissioner of Revenue
A. J. Maxwell yesterday. The $10,
000,000 figure was the final estimate
of the levy's yield before it was vot
ed into law.
The latest report of the Depart
ment of Revenue, dated May 23,
showed yesterday ' that the exemp
tionless tax had yielded $9,290,097.43
up to that time, as compared with
only $6,992,509.88 during the same
period in 1934-86. A gain of $2,297,
587.60 has been shown. During the
month to date, the sales tax /has
yielded $814,680.26. If the next
month's receipts approach that fig
ure, the goal of $10,000,000 will be
reached eagily by the end of the fiscal
year on June 30.
Commissioner Maxwell's forecast
on highway revenues also appears
certain to be fulfiilled in the year
end repdrt. Though, auto license
tag collections have been cut from
$7456,648.30 on May 23 to $6,437,
010.36 during the same period in
1936 as, the result of the cut in
rates by the last Legislature, an
increase in gasoline -taxec from
$16,969,434.89 to $17,437,947.30 dur
ing -the same comparative period
seems certain to cause a net increase
in road revenues,
REPORT ON STATE
AND PITT COUNTY
TUBERCULOSIS CLINIC
This clinic. was held in Pitt Coun
ty last week, beginning Monday and
closing Friday. There were three
clinic centers, Ayden, Farmville and
Greenville. The clinic was under the
direction of Dr. Alban Paplneau, of
the State Sanatorium, and Dr. N.
Thomas Ennett, County < Health Of
ficer.
The number of white adults ex
amined was 96, colored 40, total 136.
New, that is not discovered before,
white 3, colored 10, total 13.
Old cases, that is, previously diag
nosed, white 16, colored 2, total 18.
The number of patients examined
for tuberculosis but found to have
some other disease and referred to
their family physician for same were,
white 9, colored 4, total 13.
Number of new cases who have
already applied to the Sanatorium
for admission are white 2, colored 1,
total 3.
Patients negative for tuberculosis,
white 66, colored 23, total 89.
Number of children, given tuber
culin or skin test were white 52,
colored 25, total 77. The figures on
the Results of these are not available
at present. &/ -4
" The total number of adults attend
ing the clinic was 136, total number
of children *77, making a grand total
v>f 218 persons served by the clinic,
as compared with a total of 131 per
sons served at the spring clinic held
The Health Officer, Dr. Ennett,
states Hist the increased interest in
tuberculosis, as shown by attendance
at this clinic, was encouraging. I^ast
year's clinic showed a total attend
ance of 181 persons against 213 for
this year's clinic, a gain of something
over 62% in attendance. He express
ed the belief that while the citizens
in general were more interested, he
felt that the physicians of the Coun
ty were, primarily, responsible for
theko* increase in attendance, be
cause many of them not only advised
their patients to come to the clinic
but urged them to come.
In speaking of the value of this
diagnostic clinic to the County, the,
Health Officer called attention to the
fact that in the control of tubercu
losis that diagnosis was simply one
step, the first , step, that the next step,
of coufse is proper treatment, which
means proper care for the patient
and proper protection for the family.
Out of the 31 adults with active
tuberculosis who attended the clinic,
only a small number will be able to
get into^he State Sanatorium. The
others who cannot afford a private
sanatorium must stay at home, prob
ably infecting other members of the
faaodly, unless the County can make)
some prpvision for proper segrega
tion. <TIA-matter of segregation is
the cryiug need in our effort to con
tool tuberculosis in Pitt County.

WPA has also operated in Pitt
County a County Wide Lunch Room
Project for the two-fold purpose of
giving employment to women on re
lief rolls and to help the schools
serve lunches to the needy children
enrolled. Ten women have been em
ployed on that project and with the
assistance of these women 33,140
lunches have been served at a total
valuation of (1,008.61.
The Register of Deeds in Pitt
County has long been anxious to
initiate a project for indexing the
records of vital statistics in his
County. We were able to secure an
approved project application for this
work and five women, experienced in
clerical work, have been given em
ployment on this project. This proj
ect will be invaluable to office hold
ers, Attorneys and other citizens who
have occasion to use the Vital Statis
tics Records. Much of the credit for
the successful operation of this proj
ect is due Mr. J. C. Gaskins, Regis

County fifteen women have been em
ployed to mend books for the schools
and libraries all over the county.
These Women have mended and re
stored to the book shelves in excel
lent condition approximately 2,849
books at an approximate valuation
of $2^403.27. All materials used on
this project have been furnished by
the County Board of Education and
the various Library Boards in the
County. WPA again believes that
much of the success of this project
is due the County and City Board
of Education and the officials con
nected with the Sheppard Memorial
Library. Mrs. W. C. Vincent, Libra
rian has at all times worked untir
ingly for this project.
In addition to the above mentioned
projects, four Federal projects have
been carried on in the County. Ten
unemployed teachers have work un
der the Emergency Education Pro
gram, ten professional and white col
lar workers have been employed 011
the Federal Census, Federal Theatre
and a District Wide Farm Survey
project. Forty-three youths have
been given employment in Pitt Coun
ty under the National Youth's Ad
ministration.
In District No. 2, of which Pitt
County is one of the twelve counties,
$225,666.49 has been allotted to Wo
men's Work and 1,389 women have
been given employment. There has
been turned aver to the twelve Coun
ty Welfare Departments 138,133 gar
ments at a total valuation of $98,
167.32. 11,190 books mended at a
total valuation of $7,741.06 and 478,
467 lunches served to undernourish
ed children at a total valuation of
$13,812.98.
The unemployed women have been
given equal consideration with the
unemployed men in the WPA pro
gram and 40% of the number em
ployed in District No. 2 are women.
Excellent work has been done by
the men on these projects and Mr.
HiH, Director WPA of this District,
wishes the general public to know
about these accomplishments. Every
citizen in Pitt County interested in
its women is urged to go by the Lib
rary in Greenville this week and see
what these women can and have done
when given the opportunity.

It. Morgan, president of the Woman's
Club, talked on Highway Beautifica
tion, expressing the thought that the
country as a whole faces the need of
educating its people to the view that
God-given beauty must not be de
stroyed, but kept unspoiled because
it belongs to everyone.
"The approach to a town is its in
troduction," she said, and urged that
the town greet travelers and guests
with trees and flowers instead of
trash heaps, automobile grave-yards
and bill boards. "Lets make our
highway a parkway and eliminate
these unsightly objects," she said in
closing, and made the suggestion
that the Paul's Scarlet Climber rose
be planted on the highways through
the town.
The hostess, during the social
period, served a tempting course of
refreshments, consisting of sherbet
