BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS The annual sale of Christmas seals in Pitt County presents an opportu nity to assist in the fight upon tuber culosis without giving up an adequate return for the money used. Christmas letters, packages and cards should bear the seals. which make them more attractive and take the place of others that ipight be used for the same purpose. How ever, the Christmas seals also help finance a warfare against disease that is of the utmost Importance to every citizen. Let's everybody buy Christmas seals, and use .them this year. TWO WEEKS OF SHOPPING It is just about two weeks before Christmas Day and wise shoppers are already beginning to make their pur chases for the Christmas season. The early shoppers secures several advantages which cannot be obtained by last minute buyers. For example, clerks have ample time in which to wait on. customers and to show them the attention that often results in a splendid purchase. Moreover, before stocks of merchandise are pawed over and selected from, the chances of se curing the perfect gift is alluring to an. experienced shopper. Aside from the benefits to be se cured by the buyer, it might be well to, call attention to the clerk's side of holiday shopping. Early buyers tend to prevent the last minute rush that overwhelms stores and clerks and makes buying a nuisance to all concerned in the last day or so of the Christmas season. Take our advice. Shop early and get what you want. FACTS ABOUT INSANITY It is somewhat surprising to be told that one of every twenty per sons born in 1938 will face the pros pect, on the basis of current statis tics, of being committed to a mental hospital sometime during his life span. Dr. Harold F. Dorn, of the U. S. Public Health Service, says this will result because of the changing char acter of the population and the fact that larger proportion of mental pa tients come from the older groups. He points out that data kept by sev eral states over a long period of time "do not support the contention that the incidents of mental disorders have been increasing rapidly." While mental disorders are not yet thoroughly understood, either by psychiatrists or the general public, they are now generally considered physical maladies. In time, eve& the general public will begin to under stand that mental disease is closely related to physical disease and there by loae some of the superstitious awe with which such eases are sometimes regarded.

It There arc many reasons that might be advanced. f{] First, we would say, you can find in the stores in Farmville as I high class merchandise, at just as attractive and reasonable prices, It] as you can find'in stores in Raleigh, Rocky Mount, Wilson, the same I type of shopping here that you do when you go shopping in the above mentioned towns. 1.1 III Second, we would say, that as citizens of our good town, making j our living here, we owe it to the Merchants of Farmville to do our shopping with them, for they in turn support every good and worthy cause advanced by our Churches, Schools, Clubs and Charitable or ganizations; and pay a large tax toward the upkeep of our well man aged town, all of which contributes to our welfare. We are all-friends and neighbors here in Farmville working to gether for one common cause. If this be true, why fool ourselves by thinking that we can go to other towns and buy merchandise of the same class any cheaper than you can in, FsrmxiUe. We, therefore appeal t*> every citizen of Farmville at this Christ mas Season to do all of your trading at homeland save the expense of going elsewhere to buy the same class merchandise that can be found at home. ? 11 ^ r?i- y ?
