Due t< Mr. Joyner steps down today as mayor of Farmville and becomes chairman of the county’s ABC board. Oddly enough, he succeeds Walter B. Jones, who today will be sworn in as Farmville’s new mayor. State Health Officer Warns Against Over Exposure To Sim j — Precautions against over-heating and. excessive'sunburn were urged by Ur. J. W. R. Norton, North Carolina State Health officer. “Regardless of what may be the daily weather fore casts,” he 'said, “we have entered the summer season and may expect many excessively hot days from now until, fall. Moreover, we have come to the time of the year when many of us en gage in pastimes and practices which expose, us to the hazards of heat. “There are a few simple rules the observance of which might spare us much discomfort, perhaps illness and, in some cases, even death,” Dr. Nor ton continued. “At the first sign of becoming overheated, we should stop what we are doing and rest, and if certain symptoms manifest them selves, we should seek not only first aid, but . medical assistance, as well. It is even better to avoid reaching the point of feeling that overheating or overexposure to. the sun is being experienced. > j “It is also well to remember that exposure to the sun’s rays may cause burns with serious effects. Serious burns may come from overexposure to the sun. The result is the same, regardless of ' the inflicting agent There are three degrees of bums: first, which redden the skin, without blistering; second,* which" result in blisters, and third degree bums, which seriously injure, and some times destroy, the deeper tissues. Overexposure to' the sun may result in bum? of any of these three de grees. It is, therefore, best to avoid overexposure and let discretion be the better part of valour. While bru nettes can stand more hot sunshine than blonds, it is well for both to a void the causes of severe skin, per haps tissue, burns.” PASTOR’S FATHER DIBS AT HIS HOME NEAR ANGIER Ed S.

MILLS IN TARBORO * ■ ,j>b * £ - " Father Loyola O’Leary, M. S. S. S. T., local priest, spoke Monday night in Tarboro to the Workers1 of Hart Mills, now on strike. He stressed the need for cooperation between' man agement and union, stating that both had their problems which could be solved by Christian principles and the willingness on the part- of both parties to compromise. He added that good faith and justice must find a place in the "deliberation. O’Leary offered his services in any way that they could be used. 300 attended the meeting;. Billy Smith First To Bring Television/ Set To Farmville Anxious to pave the way for tele vision business to find his store, whether the perfection of video be a few months away or several yean, W. T. (Billy) Smith of the Southern Supply company, brought a set to Fasrmyille as an experiment,'but tHe experiment proved so satisfactory that he has already disposed of the set and is preparing to get some others. r. . Richmond’s television station is the onenearest Farmville but it is so far away that Billy and a co-worker, Red Styres, who installed and engi neered the set here, had their doubts about the results of their experimen tation. hilly reports-that they managed to get the. Richmond program better than they had anticipated.

The show, which Wito ript. A new scene has been itt Act II* outs which staffs of advertising copy and pressure promoters were the to realise that a charming girl beat "attention corapeller” of The power of attracting attention magnified more than three times m triplets are involved. That Farmville residents are cer tain this i» true is evidenced by the grpaps which quickly congregate a roundthe carriage of the Edwards triplets—Veronica, Claudia and Re becca—charm i n g young ladies of only ; seven months who -nonchalantly ac cept the. attention accorded them and apparently are more interested ip what their baby sisters are doing than they ire in what is going an around their carriage. The triplets, their mother, one brother and an elder sis ter (Gilbert and Jo Ann), are now visiting Mrs. Edwards’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Wheless. Mr. Ed wards, an employee of the Pullman company in Jacksonville, Florida, ac companied his family to North Caro liner but has returned to his position. The rest of the Edwards family, will be hefe for two or three weeks. The problem of raising triplets, the ratio of whose birth is one to 4,000, seems so big that the mere thought-of such atiring staggers the average mother or prospective math-; er. But Mrs.. Edwards, the former Miss Mary Wheless, and her husband seem to have the procedure down-pat and go about the job as unperturbed as if they had been raising triplets for years. The answer may be that one baby requires all of a mother’s time—three can do little more. Mrs. Edwards' job has been made easier by an efficient nurse, Alice, who was employed several months be fore th4 triplets were born. Mrs. Edwards feared that the efficient Alice would give up the job when she found that triplets Were expected. Alice, however* has taken the greatest amount of pride in the babies and rales with an hen hand. How to keep the triplets from be coming “spoiled” looms as a problem. They are charming little girls—just as'cute as they can be. If you see an unusually large baby carriage on the street, with an unusually large number of people gathered around it, and three little heads bobbing up and down/you’ll know the Edwards trip lets are having their opting. Holidays Drivers Urged To Practice Caution More than 900,000 motor vehicles are expected to be on the highways of North Carolina sometime during the long Fourth of July week end, the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles estimates. Pointing out that 10 persons were killed on the highways over the three-day holiday last year and that highway fatalities are on the upgrade this year, the Department offered four suggestions for a safe and sane Fourth: 1. Start that holidays trip a little earlier to avoid temptation, to speed. 2.. Don’t drink and drive. 3. Don't cut in and out of heavy traffic. 4. Exercise caution, common sense and courtesy in driving. -1- ■ •-m If all drivers will follow these sug gestions on the Fourth! they can ex pect to be alive on the Fifth.
