' Parents are urged to bring their children to these clinics. Letters are being sent fronl the schools to parents who are known to have children in this age group. If you have a child who will b'e € years old on or before October 1, 1949, please get in touch with your school. Also, please return the letters to your school as soon as possible, giving all the information asked for as this is necessary for School ajjd Health records. Receiving this informa tion prior to clinics will allow some of the necessary clerical work to be completed and less •time consumed at clinics. Dr. Willcox states every child should have a physical examina tion any defects found corrected before school begins. It is unfair to a child to allow him to enter school with some defect that may retard his physical, mental and, probably, emotional deve lopment. Attention is called to the fact that under the State law every child, before entering school, must be vaccinaetd for diptheria ^allpox and whooping cough, unless he has had ' whooping cough. Children who are vacci nated in infancy should have a booster dose before entering school. Vaccinations will be a- vailable at all clinics. The time of Dr. Willcox is di vided' between Moore and Hoke Counties and it is impossible for him to conduct all of the Pre- School Clinics in addition to re gular duties. The health depart ment, therefore, wishes to sin cerely thank the Sanatorium and Raeford Doctors for being will ing to help out in this importr ant undertaking. 0 W.

Raleigh Roundup By Eula Nixon Greenwood MISS FLORA BOYCE INJURED WEDNESDAY Last Wedn^day night while at tending the family night supper in the undercroft of the Presby terian church Miss Flora Boyce lud the misfortone to faU: and fracture her hip. SbeWas taken at once V by ambulance to Hlgh- smith; hospital In Fayetteville, where she suffered intensely for several days. Tho’ the fracture is a very serious one she is much better and more comfortable. She has a special nurse at night but gets along satisfactorily during the day with general niirsing. LOOK OUT-. — The delay of 'Governor Kerr Scott in naming a successor to the late Senator J. M. Broughton has not pushed along his program in the Leg islature, as many people seem to think. On the contrary, the Gov ernor’s toying with the appoint ment resulted in putting the brsdres on any “go forward” in the State Senate. So, it now looks as if the Leg islature will be here imtil well into April. During, the next few weeks, a lot of trick legislation will ibe in troduced. When the bills are roll ing fast, the table gets those which come along last. Any mea sure thrown into the hopper from here on out will have to compete with heavily loaded cal endars. • If you as an . individual—or. your- county or ci^-^^-arC" afraid some detrimental' legislation is going to be Introduced, now is the time to be on your guard. With the bins moving so swiftly, almost anything can happen. NO’TES — The late J. M. Brough ton left an estate valued at $295,- 000—on the taxbooks—but ac tually worth a great deal more than this figme— —Reports here have it that those members of his Washington staff who wish to may carry on with the new U. S. Senator— —'N. C. Automobile dealers are privately of the opinion that you can get any car you want—and at list price—by July 1, so stay off that black market. —Farmers visiting Raleigh say that the biggest black market -in the State now is in tractors. With Northern dealers getting their full allotment, but more of the small tractors than needed, N. C. sharp- sters are having a fine time buy ing them and selling them while the legitimate dealer up the str^t walks in circles. Frank Graham To Be Successor To J. M. Broughton Charel Hill—Dr. Frank P. Gra- ha.Ti, far.i'.'cl liberal president of the Ur.r .?r.?ity of North Carolina, was nj.TTd Tuesday night a U. S. senator. Governor Scott said; “It has become necessary to name another U. S. Senator”. He said he had had a good many suggestions. “I finally came to a conclusion and I just wanted to make the announcement that your next United States senator, if your ex ecutive committee is willing, is Dr. Frank Graham.” The announcement was greeted by considerable applause. Gov. Kerr Scott announced the surprise appointment at a cam pus dinner. Dr. Graham, strong civil rights advocate, educator and scientist, succeeds the late J. Melville Broughton who died March 6 in Washington. Accused in congress earlier this year of lending his prestige to Communist front organizations, Dr. Graham declared “I have al ways been opposed to commun ism and'all totalitarian dictator ships”. The appointment came as a complete surprise. During the two weeks since the death of North Carolina’s junior senator, more than 50 Tar Heel political leaders had been suggested for the post. Dr. Graham, who was born in Fayetteville, on October 14, 1886, was a son of the late Dr. Alex ander Graham- and Katherine Bryan (Sloan) Graham. While he was in his boyhobd he moved with the family to Charlotte when his father became superintendent of the city schools in Charlotte. 0 Local Girl Honored At Flora Macdonald Miss Betty McLean, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. McLean of Raeford, was unanimously chos en president of the student Christian association in the cam pus elections just completed at Flora Macdonald college. Miss McLean, a popular mem ber of the rising senior-class, has be^n an outstanding student since entering Flora Macdonald in 1946. While her interests have center ed chiefly in the religious life of the college, she has been an all- round> student in extra-curricula activities. She was a m.ember of the Cabinet her sophomore year, and secretary of the Christian as sociation when a junior. • She is this year a member of the glee club, and a marshal, al ways a signal mark of popularity. On the athletic field, Betty has been prominent in volley ball for three years, and also plays bas ket ball. She is a meniber of the Epsilon Chi literary society, and of the Math and WilUam Bartram Scientific societies, both of which require a high scholastic average for membership. 0 17 Defendants Are Fined For Road Violations Recorder Also Sends Money Stealing Case Up Tb Next Superior Court Tcmi “SCOTT TAX” — There is a great deal of talk that the Legislature wants to hurt Governor Scott. Ekneever, if the'lGjtoeral Assem bly were ihfetes^ in damr aging the pi^ularity of Scott than in keeping additional taxes off the folks, the members could vote the one-cent tax on bottled drinks, the extra-penny tax on cigars, cigarettes, etc. as suggest ed by the Governor—and these extra pennies would immediate- .
