Federal Grant
Congressman David N. Hen
derson advises this newspaper
that Warsaw's application for a
Cublic Health Service grant for
the secondary sewerage treat
ment plant of extended area
lion type has been approved to
day. The total coat of the pro
ject will be about 904,000, and
the Federal Government will
provide 104,900.
Mayor Ed Strickland says
that the State Stream Sanita
tion Commission made a sur
vey or this area in I960 and
found that Stewart's Creek
was being polluted by the War
saw sewerage under the pre
sent system. Stewar'tCreek
was classified as a Class D
stream by the commission, and
the law required Warsaw to
remedy this situation. Under
the pollution abatement plan,
the voters of Warsaw approved
a bond issue in April of I960
to spend not more than $100,000
for this purpose.
Mayor Strickland made ap
plication for the Federal grant.
It is expected now that adver
tisement for bids will be
made, a contract awarded and
the work will begin at an
early date.

My daughter Maaparet's dog
presented us with eleven pup
pies during the past week end.
Is this a record? We have ask
ed around and most everyone
seems to think it is quite a
large litter of pups. All of the
pups seem to be just as fat
and healthy as small pups can
be.
Eventhough the dog "Happy"
cannot boast of any long line
of distinguished ancestry, she
is a rather nice "just plan
dog", and she would like a
nice home for her pups. Any
on ewanting pup, jus tlet us
know and you can get your
name on the waiting list. If
this litter gives out. with such
a record on her first litter. I
believe that you will not have
to wait too long.

STATEMENT BY THE DOCTORS
Why There Are No Polio
Clinics In Duplin
TO THE EDITOR:
To the people of Duplin
County. *e, the members of
the Duplin County Medical Soc
iety, apologize for an error in
judgement.
Two years ago we, the fam
ily doctors, of Duplin County
did buy vaccine and injection
supplies to sponsor a free clin
ic to administer tetanus toxoid
to the people. The newspapers
and radio stations co-operated
admirably. Professional nurses
and civic-minded ladies and
gentlement, boy and girls vol
unteered their time to work
with the doctors to administer
the shots. We had not expected
an overwhelming response.
Our guess had been that
a t
about 1 person of every 8
would probably take the shots.
Actually only Wfc of the people
responded and 1 person in SO
took the shots The vaccine
being perishable had to be dis
carded. Even though for this
public spirited purpose we
were stole to purchase the tox
oid at the same volume con
tract prices charged to the
State of N. C. or about 1/5 the
usual cost to us, this episode
cost us about one thousand dol
law.
Had our citizens accepted the
toxoid and thus insured them
selves against a disease for
which there was no cure, the
cost would have been the same
to us. A thousand dollars in
vested in bettering the health
of our people was our goal. To
consign the toxiod and the
combined efforts of all who
worked to make that campaign
a success to the trash can was
more than a little discourag
ing.
Kenansville
Trojan Club
Org anized
At a meeting Wednesday
night, the Kenansville Jaycees
voted to disband as an organ
isation.
A local civic organisation for
the betterment of the Kenans
ville community and area was
organized to be known as "The
Kenansville Trojan Club." This
will be a local organisation and
not affiliated with any State or
national organisation. It was
felt by the group that a local
organisation could better ser
ve the community.
Recreation, Industrial. Edu
cation, Health and Welfare and
Civic Committees will be nam
ed in the near future. A consti
tution and bylaws were adopted
and it was agreed that the
newly-formed group would
meet on the second and fourth
Wednesdays.
Officers elected were: Wiley
Booth, president; Bobby Ho
ward. vice-president and pub
licity chairman; John Hall,
secretary and Bill Helton, trea
surer. Harold Dunn and the
four officers compose the board
of directors of the organisation.
Bloodshed
RALEIGH - The Motor Ve
hicles Department's summary
of traffic deaths through 10 a.
m. Monday, April 6:
Killed To Date 387
Killed To Date Last Year 273
A few months ago the pre
sent campaign began getting
underway by the various coun
ty medical societies to give
free free oral polio vaccine to
the populace. The doctors of
Duplin County, remembered
the response to the previous te
tanus campaign, and calculat
ed that this time vaccine would
cost us about eleven thousand
dollars for the two dose treat
ment and about six thousand
dollars for the three dose treat
ment. assuming 50% participa
tion. We felt that should the
response again be as slight as
last time, it would not justify
the expenditure of that amount
of money.
These are not tax supported
campaigns. The family doctors
pay for the vaccine and sup
plies. Civic organizations, pro
fessional nurses and doctors
give of their time.
We did not feel that the re
sponse would be satisfactory.
We erred in this guess. When
after the first results in ad
joining counties showed that _
response was running between
50% and 70% of the popula
tion, and that instead of being
wasted, the money would in
deed be well spent, we voted
unanimously to conduct cam
paigns to correspond with the
2nd and 3rd doses in adjoin
ing counties to prevent con
fusion and then to give the 1st
dose 4 weeks later. .
After contacting manufactur
ers of oral polio vaccine we
learned that due to contamina
tion in the last phases of man
ufacture some five million dos
es of vaccine had just been
discarded and that they could
not now supply us. Other vac
cine is now in production, but
it is a slow drawn-out process
and that vaccine will not be
available until early autumn.
How many polio deaths in
Duplin County last year?0.
How many tetanus deaths in
Duplin County last year? 3.
These are the facts. We will
be judged thereon.
