dtps The market for this week has .
soM 1,492,544 pounds for $256,275.72
at; an svrage of $17.16. And for the 1
season- to data die market has sold 1
27*151,646 pounds for $4,439,789.49 at J
an average of 316.11. ]
The records continue to., disclose
that-the Farmville market stays on 1
top in price averages, and in view of
this fact it is now believed that we 1
wiB exceed thirty million by the first -
of December. Farmers are urged to 3
bring the remainder of their tobacco 1
to this market where they will have
every reason to feel that each pile j
of their tobacco wfll bring that ex- '
pected- top price. The warehousemen <
on the Farmville market are now
prepared to give you a sale every 1
day.

C. C. MeGinnis, State WPA Admin- ,
istrator, pointed out that the State
holiday on November 30 and the doe- ^
injr of business establishments would
prevent the proper performance of j
WPA duties. Hence, the holiday.
Since November 23 is the national j
Thanksgiving holiday, federal work
era mast abide by the President's j
proclamation. All WPA projects will (
be.so scheduled as to give both days

Assistant Postmaster Joel C. ,

inspections, venereal disease clinics, j
maternal and infant wetfWftwork, j
community sanitation, cafe, dairy and j
meat market inspections.
The contagious, disease situation 4
for October is very unsatisfactory as |
regards diphtheria and scarlet fever j
but there was no typhoid fever, no j
measles, and no whooping cough re
ported. ,
The school work showed an inspec- i
tion of *081 pupils. t
now compiled hy the State Board of ,
Health Tabulating Department and r
for October are not available to us ^
at this time.
The new Venereal Disease Nurse, j
Mrs. Orla Joyner, is preving^of great a
assistance in the conduct of these v
:linics.
f The maternal and istiuat welfare c
vork is growing. The attendance in t
inly was 81, August 126, September r
143, and October 161. Much credit 8
is doe the clinicians for the growth
yf this work and the Health Officer f
wishes to thank them for their fine t
service.
The County Sanitary Inspector has ?
pushed the community sanitation pro- (
jram with the result that 47 privies
rere installed during the month of c
Dctober. We regret to say. that we j
iave just learned that WPA has 'i
dosed this project in Pitt County. No e
notice was given to the Health De- ^
partment but we shall dnour utmost y
? have the project restored.
The cafe, dairy, and meat market c
nspections have claimed much of the j
Sanitary Inspectors' time. In the j
natter of grading cafes and eating
places in Pitt County, in October,,
here wdre 15 A's, 18 Bis, and 13 Cp. e
3ur inspectors are strenuously en- |
ieavoring to increase toe A's. t
All recognized dairies and the pas
teurization plant in Greenville coo- ,
lanue as Grade A establishments. < 1
Much time has been given by the
fepartmtent in an .effort to secure an
sxtension of sewer and water linspf \
in several of the towns in the County .
through WPA greats. Aa the sit?- ^
stum now stands, a measure of sue- |
cess seems more than probable, vci (
