The $2,000 goal has not been reached,' and funds now on hand vrc $300 less than the amount obtained during last year's sale. Many persons have simply neglected to return their contri butions, some have forgotten, while others feel that they cannot afford to contribute. The last mentioned attitude is a very short-sighted one, because faihire to isolate cases of advanced tuberculosis means th:it the lives of each and everyone of us are in danger. Frequently, casos of tuberculosis arc found in homes where treatment cannot be financed. In that case, the cost must be borne by the county tuberculosis assocation. This highly-conta-t'.iotis disease must be controlled, but to control it costs money. This year, the association is undertaking the mass X-ray pro cram, the like of which has never occurred here, in hopes that all cases of tuberculosis can be discovered and treated and those of us who are healthy can be protected. Money for the tuberclosis campaign f; i)s to come in as rapidly as funds for infantiie paralysis prevention because the appeal ol showing a little child afflicted with the disease is seldom pos sible with tuberculosis. Tl! strikes adults. It aft lifts mothers and fathers and endangers the health of their children. The m:.ss X lay program must be financed. If Carteret county is to progress in health standards and boast of a healthy popula tion, contagious diseases must be controlled. Only help from all of us can make this possible. Cnntrihutions for the tuberculosis fund can bp mailed at any time to Mrs. Martha Loft in. Turner street, fioaufort, or to Wiley Trylor, Jr., Front street, Beaufort. Looks Like Excitement Ahead If wc have stood agape heretofore while Lejeunp and Cherry Point Marines loaded transports for their war games in southern waters. Cherry Point public information office informs us that wc "ain't seen not bin' yet." For the first time, according to present plans, all heavy equipment and the bulk of personnel will be loaded at Morehead City instead of at two ports, (Norfolk and this port), for second task fleet exercises in the Caribbean. So come February, we'll probably be pushed and shoved around by big transport buses, and irucks labeled "explosp-es" carrying a load of fellas in fatigues (who might blow up if wc put a match to them, hard to telli but the excitement and change of routine for 'us is worth it. In The Good Old Days THIRTY FIVE YEARS AGO Town commissioners were plan ning to sell $10,000 worth of Tay lor Creek bonds. Bonds would be $1,000 each, bearing 5 percent in terest and payable1 in 30 years. An editorial in the paper hoped, since Taylor's Creek was to be open in the spring, that the town would now turn its interest to building a new school for Beau fort.

January 5, 1949 To the Editor: I wish to answer an article which appeared in the Jan. 4 issue ;of The NEWS-TIMES, under the heading "School Official Comments J' on Merrimon Road." The com VJ ments as to the condition of this road have not been exaggerated. From Nov. 3 until Dec. 20 if any- i-i one traveled it they had to be pull- Sed twice, both over and back.

Duffy Wade has purchased from, the Sanitary Fish Market the small building standing beyond the sea wall and under the direction of E. C.

Street scene; As a sidewalk ob server we watched the City Street Department on Tuesday afternoon haul away the old eyesore on Evans street which was the re mains of a house car used for liv ing purposes.

Tying up at the Gulf dock one i day last week was an unusual type of boat, built in Norway and sailed across the Atlantic on its way to South America. The skipper, in broken English, stated they had a rough voyage that took them sev er?! weeks, landing in Newfound land from where they had worked their way down the coast. The craft, some 40 feet in length, of wooden construction drawing eight feet of water, is known as a rescue boat, having been in service during the last war. While it is a two-mast sailing type of vessel it is fitted with an engine. Just be fore reaching this port engine trouble developed that caused the craft to return to New York to await repair parts from Norway.

VA Ofiicer Gives Hints On Reinstating Lapsed National Service Insurance World War II veterans who want to reinstate lapsed National Service Life insurance term po licies were given five "helpful hints" today by Paul W. Crayton, offieer-in-charge of the New Bern Veterans Administration office. He advised: (1) If possible, reinstate the po licy before it has been lapsed long er than three months. This will make qualifying physical examina tions unnecessary in most cases. (2) Answer all questions on the reinstatement application. Failure to do so will .mean a delay in re gaining protection. (3) Date the application. It is not valid without a date. (4) Mail it to VA five days. If it is not postmarked within five days of the date on the application, a new form will be required. (5) Make certain the two month ly term payments necessary for reinstatement accompany the ap plication. Lacking the premium payments, VA cannot reinstate the insurance. Mr. Clayton also urged local vet erans to keep money order re ceipts or check stubs for all NSLI payments. He said complete per sonal records may serve to expe dite payment of the insurance North Carolina '4-H'ers Win Chicago Trips : &1 Will.rd Bl.ctw.ld.r LoUH.rri.on SUPERIOR records of achievement In National 4 II Clothing, Girls' Record, Poultry -end Tractor Maintenance programs have"' won 1948 state championship honor for four North Carolina club members.

Such classes not only would supplement classroom work but would also offer classes in adult education and specialized courses for the person who has completed his schooling but wants, to keep up with developments in his profession. ' Educators emphasize the possi bilities of smoothing human rela tionships, and relationships be tween nations, because programs may increase understanding. This is possible because they can reach many more people than'classrooms can, and can reach them through out their lives, keeping them abreast of events and issues. There are two ways that radio and television instruction may be popularized. One is for the com mercial stations to present educa tional programs. The other is for Schools and colleges to operate their own stations! Already dozens of programs suitable for classroom and home work are offered by commercial radio broadcasters. And hundreds of schools Use these programs. In addition the Federal Commu nications Commission has just re laxed its rules for the operation of FM radio stations by schools and colleges. Office of Education of ficials say the important fact about this relaxation of rules is that it means more schools can afford their own FM radio stations.

Facsimile also is carried an the FM channel. Fac simile will reproduce charts, a page .of reading material, maps, photographs, musical scores and many other types of educational information in the home. Twenty FM channels have bee set aside by the FCC for the use of non-commercial educational sta tions. This means that as many as 10 educational stations can operate in every area, including large ci ties. Officials of the Office Of Edu cation say Station WIIAS in Louis ville, Ky., is making radio history by cooperating with the University of Louisville irt broadcasting the first college course for credit ever offered by a standard broadcast station. Many other commercial sta tions offer some educational pro grams. But only 34 standard stations are operated by educational institu tions and only 20 non-commercial educational FM stations. Franklin Dunham of the radio section of the Office of Education says about 200 schools and colleges are planning to apply for FM licenses. Iowa State College at Ames, la., is the only college with a televi sion station in operation, but at least five others are planning to have stations soon. Because of ex pense, television sending stations may be beyond the reach of many schools and colleges. But Durham says it may be possible to set up cooperative centers where a group of educational institutions would establish radio and television sta tions and produce educational movies. These programs and pic tures would be available to all the educational institutions in the area.
