Scientists Watching New, ■. "Type of Influenza Cases STORM WARNING WJien Carol, Edna, and Hazel were invading, the East Coast last fall; scientists were able to plot their probable behavior and warn the public to take precautions against the ^hurricanes. With equal care, scientists have been watch ing the advance of another threat to our safety: Type A influenza. Beginning with an outbreak in Australia last summer, Type A has followed a pattern which could .^Bring it to the United States this '^^inter. It may not'appear at all, but doctors are on the alert. We need not fear a disastrous epidemic such as struck this country in 1918. Many of the deaths then were the result of pneumonia or meningitis that developed follow ing the “flu.” New antibiotics and other drugs will cut down these secondary infections. Prompt treat ment and careful nursing through convalescence will also help pre vent complications. If influenza does strike in your community, avoid crowds. The “flu” virus is spread by direct contact. but it can be carried agd passed on by people who are not sicl^ themselves. Watch for symptoms. If any member of the family com plains of sore throat, cough, head ache, fever, or nausea, put him to bed at once. Influenza moves fast to the acute stage when there may be severe pains in the back, chest and limbs, and exhaustion to the point of prostration. Follow the doctor’s instructions carefully. There is no specific cure for influenza, but the discomfort can be relieved and dangerous com plications prevented. Lots of rest and a gradual return to normal activity are of the utmost import ance in coming safely through in fluenza.

OPERATION “CHOO-CHOO” — About 75 Cub Scouts from troops in Mount Olive, Calypso, and B. F. Grady participated in Operation “Choo-Choo,” a railroad trip to Wilmington to tour the Atlantic Coastline Railroad company’s shops Saturday. The trip was sponsored by the railroad compa- I ny and the Tuscarora Council of Scouting.

Rose of Goldsboro, the Wom an’s Society of Christian Service of the Smith Chapel Methodist church called upon the senator to urge the General, Assembly to enact a bill that will enable the people of North Carolina to vote in a state-wide referendum for or against the manufacture and' sale of intoxicating liquors. The group also is urging the General Assembly tb enact legisla tion to prohibit the advertising of beer, wine, and whiskey in news papers, and other publications, to prohibit such advertisement? on billboards and other public places in the state. The W. S. C. S. asks that the advertising of alcoholic beverages on radio and television broadcasts, orginating in this state either by init?I production or by reproduction, by stations within the state, be outlawed. In the letter to Senator Rose, the group frowned upon the “gallon law” which- legalizes and permits shipment and transportation of whiskey to the extent of one gal lon into counties in which the legal sale of whiskey is not al lowed. The organization stated it does not believe whiskey should be shipped into dry counties. The organization also calls for drastic measures be taken against motorists convicted of drunken driving. It recommended substant ial prison terms for those so con HOTTIST BUICK IN HISTORY/ No wonder you tee so many 1955 Buicks on the highways—they're rolling up bigger sales than ever in history—topping the popularity that has already made Buick one of the "Big Three." You can taka it over for only *2232 * toomUyf Most people still don’t believe it. But it is true* And when you loofcinto the facts, you’ll find 1 these two solid truths: \ * Buick is one of the “Big Three” in sales volume—and hotter this year than ever " before. And Buick is one of the “Big Three” when it comes to prices which make such popularity possible. The price we show here f - proves it.

Things usually charged for as “extras” in other cars, but yours as standard equip* ment at no extra cost in every Buick. Things like direction signals, oil-bath air cleaner; full-flow oil filter, automatic lighting in glove and trunk compartments—and so on.

S. group recom mends in its letter to Senator Rose that'a Board of Censor be set up tb pass on comic books and to give the board authority to keep undesirable ones from the news stands. In asking that drastic measures be taken to punish drunken driv ers, the organization points out that a number of accidents on the highways are caused by drunken drivers and expressed an opinion chat if stronger action was taken against those convicted of this violation the number of accidents would decline. NEWS BRIEFS from Hsre and Elsewhere The State legislature has passed a law making valid marriages per formed by a Tarboro justice of the peace, after his term had expired. Lewis Heibroner married some 49 Couples after his two-year term ex pired. He said he thought his ap pointment as justice of the peace was for six years. •-V . 1 President Eisenhower told news men he believed his “fight if we must” policy in Formosa should help prevent war by showing de termination to defend the area from Red aggression. The College of Bishops of the Methodist Southeastern Jurisdic tion issued a statement defending the retention of racial division within the church’s administrative system. At least 30 persons were killed by a tornado that struck in Mis sissippi and a fringe of Alabama this week. Milk Production Will Be Increased The milk production and supply in' 1955 and 1956 will be greater than in 1954 in North Carolina as well as the nation as a whole, ac cording lo Dorris D. Brown, exten sion farm management and market ing specialist at State college. More milk is expected because of more cows, high production of millt per cow, low beef salvage val ue* and a diminishing opportunity to shift to pork production, ex perts say. Bnt the demand for milk and dairy products this year will more than likely take care of any ex pected m increase in production in this state.
