New Type Clinic
Dr. N. T. Ennett Reports 75
to 80 Children Need Ton
sillectomies
Monday's tonsil clinic for school
children was so successful that
two more arc planhed between
now and Christmas, Dr. N. Tljomas
Ennett, county health officer,
stated today.
Four children had tonsillectom
ies Monday, Or. Ennett explained,
and it is planned to make five
such operations at each future
clinic. 1 "
The health officer announced
that in addition to the two clinics
between now and Christmas, two
will be held each month from Jan
uary through the end of the school
year. Dr. Ennett reported that 75
to 80 underprivileged children had
been found to be in need of opera
tions.
Children requiring treatment
are examined first by Dr. Ennett
at the school. Their parents are
then notified that an operation is
necessary. Arrangements are made 1
with the surgeon for the child to
see him several days before the op
eration and he is given another ex
amination and preparatory treat
, ment. On the morning of the op
eration he goes to the hospital, his
tonsils arc removed, he spends the
night in the hospital and returns
home the next day. Every safe
guard to protect the child is taken
before, during and after the opera
tion. the health officer remarked.
Appropriation for tonsil clinics
made by the last legislature.
Only those children who come
from underprivileged families are
treated.
Local surgeons and the hospital
are cooperating wholeheartedly in
the clinics, the health officer em
phasized, particularly when it
comes to reducing fees so that
more children can be treated. .
Parents also are responding
nicely to the program, he said. It
is particularly important that each
child .be present at the clinic to
which he is assigned, he said, be
cause they may not have another
opportunity to have the operation
performed.
The health officer concluded by
saying that a large number of the
Children examined and found in
need of a tonsillectomy are from
families who are not eligible to
have the state pay for the opera
tion. Nevertheless, he cautioned,
the operation should be performed
sincc diseased tonsils arc often
forerunners of deafness.
Court Denies
Plea for Divorce
Motion for the divorce of Moody
Lewis from Lillian W. Lewis was
denied by Judge R. Hunt Parker
in this week's session of superior
court when the plaintiff testified
that previously he had been found
guilty of abandonment of his wife
and children.
While on the witness stand Lew
is stated that in the October, 1944,
term of superior court he hkd been
.found guilty of "criminal and wil
ful abandonment of his wife and
children without providing for
them adequate support in viola,
turn of the criminal Mw of the
state."
Judge Rules
Judge Parker ruled that to al
low Lewis to su?t for divorcc ac
tion in civil court would go against
the intent ofi the previous verdict
delivered in criminal court.
The judge atated that to allow
such an action would be "to blow
, JkA and cold in the same breath
... . The law is not interested in
such double-dealing or sleight-of
hand performance."

Postmasters Voice
Usual Yule Plea |
Christmas Parcels Should
Be in Mail by Tomorrow,
Cards by Dec. 15
Postmasters of both Morehead
City and Beaufort arc singing the
same tune these days, as a matter

Mailing Early!
C. fc-CSfcpprtt Beaufort pleads
for cooperation, saying, 'Hion't pile
all that mail on us at once. Start
getting Christmas cards and pack
age* in the postofficc now!'*
Postmaster Harold W. Webb,
Morehead City, said, "This year's
deluge of Christmas mail will
strain pos'office facilities severely,
but we'll gtt everything delivered
by Christmas, if the public coop
erates whole-heartedly."
Christmas packages for distant .
States should be mailed by tomor
row. All Yuletide parcel post
should be on its way by Dec. 15.
Christmas cards to friends and ?
loved ones in other states should I
be deposited by Dec. IS. Greetings
for local delive y should click
through the stamp cancellation
machines at least a week before
Christmas.
To keep Christmas mail on
schedule, postmasters ask that
you- '
1. Stop at the postofficc now to
purchase the extra stamps you're :
going to need, thus avoiding last
minute crowds. When buying
stamps for Christmas cards, bear
in mind the desirability of sending
the cards as first class mail; also 1
the fact that the rate for unsealed
cards has been increased from Hj
cents to 2 cents each.
2. Check and revise your Christ- 1
mas card address list this week
end. Purchase your Christmas
cards early and address and stamp
them at once. Then stack Ihem
in a convenient place for mailing
at the proper time.
3. Lay in adequate supplies of |
heavy cardboard, sturdy outer pa i
per. strong cord, and printed
Fourth Class labels for wrapping
parcel post. Packages arc limited I

not measure more than 100 inches I
in length and girth combined. Rc- 1
