Reporting on Ihe uses to which tb Christmas seal sale money is put Mrs. Emily Johnston, Pitt count] health department nurse, states thai primarily the funds pay for chest x rays of known cases and suspicioui cases. Physical examinations, skii tests, monthly clinics and education al work comprise other uses. At the present time in Pitt coun ty, there are 83 cases of active tu berculosis among the white .people and 63*in the colored race. For eacl of these active cases, there are al least four contacts that must be fol lowed up. Eight patients, three ol whom are children, from the Farm ville community are in sanatoria anc two others are on the waiting list Two deaths from the disease were recorded in the county this year. “Tuberculosis,” Bhe adds, "is i real problem in our county. Through the Seal sale money, we are able tc follow these contacts and find then I in their early stages. For our tuber culosis work, we feel desperately the need of more sanatorium beds to care for our patients. This need could be met by an increase of state sanato | rium beds and by presiding a count j | sanatorium where we could place these patients until the state could provide care for them.” Mrs. Johnston expresses apprecia tion for the response to the seal sale and urges that those who have not bought seals do so. OUR SHERLOCK HOLMES Sometimes the great walk among os unobserved. And then some cir cumstance throws the person, right beside us perhaps, into bold relief and we discover that he or she hac developed characteristics and poten tialities beyond our ken. Who could guess that young Bob Harper was Sherlock Holmes dwell ing in Farmville incognito! Well, he certainly, displayed the power of re cognition of that of our favorite sleuth one day this week, together with his sixth sense of following up clues and his ability to rely on his own Judgment. It so happens that Paschall Bar rett, who has a paper route here and depends on his bicycle for transpor tation, has been the victim of two robberies within the past year, with some thief “lifting” his bicyc’es from the rick near the police station while the owner was at the movies. Paschall, his family and friends have been greatly distressed by his misfortune; one friend lent him a wheel but it broke down, then he bor rowed one from another and had a narrow escape from a serious injury due to faulty brakes. It looked as if the newsboy would have to give up his job, when our young Sherlock Holmes, in passing through the Joyner Croc Roads Com munity, recognised a wheel being rid den by another boy as Paschall’s property. ' The parents of Paschall were ad vised of Bob's discovery and the mat ter was put in the hands of local police. The story goes that the boy who had the bicycle had bought it from another boy. Facts are meager in this regard but our purpose any way is to tell our readers of the joy that Bob Harper's power of observ ance has brought to a friend. (Contributed) P. T, A.

Principal Bundy Campaign Made | For Advertising Service Donations ‘ The Farmvile Advertising Service, ' which is a division of the Chamber of | Commerce, is again soliciting for . funds to enable it to carry on its work of advertising Farmville. It has been the course in the past years for ' the Farmville merchants to raise : money among themselves and this amount would be matched dollar for * dollar by the warehousemen. This year the' method waa reversed .and the warehousemen have contributed $2600. It is the duty of the mer* !; chants to meet this amount or the | balance will be returned to the ware i housemen. ,| The drive was held last year in ' September, but this year was held ; later, due to unforeseen dreumstan .ces. '! Those who have been contacted 1 have given generously and, as yet, there are a few who have not been contacted by the committee members. Any who have been missed may call the Chamber of Commerce secretary and fsomeone will * call, explain the I puroose and receive the donation.

SAINTS OP TRAVELERS The Three Kiligs of-Cologne have become patron saints' of travelers, and very appropriately, too, since the Wise Men traveled considerably | even after their death, I Biblically very little is known of the Wise Men. Church tradition, bas ted on the three specifically mention ed gifts, has established three Wise Men and Identified them as Caspar, Melchior and Balthaser; the Kings of Tarsus, Arabia and Ethiopia, respec tively. Legend advances that on their way to Bethlehem, the Magi met at Ur and 9t Matthew states that having ; adored the Christ Child, they depart ed into their own country by a dif ferent route. Whether each return ed to his own country or whether all i three journeyed into one country are matters for conjecture. Legend con tinues that-they were baptised, dis tributed their wealth amoiig the. poor, and went about preaching the doctrine of peace and repentance; all three seem to have suffered martyr dom jn India at the same time. In the fourth century Empress He lena, mother of Constantine, arrang ed for the transfer of their bodies ‘to Constantinople. When the Greek Emperor was overpowered by the first crusade in 1096, the holy remains, were sent to Milan where they were enshrined un til the latter part of the 12th cen tury when Frederick Barbarossa ordered their removal to Cologne.
