Health Office
Reports on X-rajys
The health department today re
ported on the trailer X-ray work
done in Beaufort July 6 and in
Morehead City July 7.
The films were sent to the State
Sanatorium for interpretation and
due to the large number of films
going there from all over the state
the sanatorium was late in making
its report on Carteret county work,
explained Dr. N. T. Ennett, health
officer. A total of 120 X-rays were
made in Carteret county. Only one
active case was found and this pa
tient is now on the waiting list of
the sanatorium, the health officer
reported.
However, six cases were consider
ed likely to have tuberculosis. Oth
er interpretations follow: inactive
TB, 19; lung scar, 20; negative for
TB but other disease present, 5;
negative films, 69; blurred film, 1.
The suspicious cases must be fol
lowed up with other X-rays, though
it appears that there is no tuber
culosis money in the treasury of
the Carteret County TB Association
for this follow up work, said Dr.
Ennett.
He expressed the hope |hat the
citizens at large will be more lib
eral in their support of this year's
Seal Sale campaign than they were
last year.

ings of fact and law.
The order, issued July 28 over
the protests of two members of the
commission, authorized Tide Water
Power company to raise Southeast
ern North Carolina's electric bills
$200,000 a year.
Although only Beaufort and
Whitevillc filed petitions for re
hearing, a dozen Southeastern
towns have gone on record against
the increase. Several town officials
including Mayor Herbert Eastwood
of Jacksonville, sat in on the hear
ing Wednesday.
Mr. Taylor and Mr. Hollowell, re
iterating the position taken earlier
in the petitions, asked the com

that the power company already
had put the new rates into effect.

County Schools
Adopt Group \
Insurance Plan
For $1 Per Year Each
Pupil Will Be Insured
Against Accidents
A group accident insurance plan
under which every enrolled child
in the Carteret county school sys
tem may be covered with accident
insurance, will go into effect at the
beginning of the school year.
II. L. Joslyn, superintendent of
Carteret county schools, reported
the action today. Mr. Joslyn said
that while the board of education
and the schools themselves have
no legal liability in case of acci
dent or injuries to the children in
the performance of their normal
duties, it has always been a mat
ter of serious concern to school of
ficials when children were injured
and had to be taken to the hospital.
Often they know the parents were
unable to pay the bills.
Mr. Joslyn said that this volun
tary type of plan will relieve that
kind of situation greatly and will
assure every child who participates
in the plan adequate medical at
tent ion in case any accident occurs
to him in connection with any of
his school life. It has been the de- 1
sire for many years ainonu both
teachers and parents, according to .
Mr. Joslyn. that some plan of co\
erage might be found which would j
provide financial assistance in pay
ment of medical or hospital ex
pense that might come as a result
of sue h injuries.
Since the cost of accident insur
ance is higher than th?* average
family feels that it can afford, very
few children have the benefit' of
such coverage, he said.
Cost* SI Per Year
However, <? ? (trough this new
"CUop SclifW! Child Accident
Plan, each child, if he desires,
will contribute $1.00 per year, then
he will be adequately provided
with accident coverage during the
school day. Mr. Joslyn revealed.
The plan was discussed with a
number of parents, all of whom
were enthusiastic in their praise.
The school board approved it, as
did the Parent Teacher Association
council.
At a recent meeting of county
principals it was decided, with the
assistance of the parents, to un
dertake the program of protection
for school children.
Mr. Joslyn explained that the
coverage of the policy goes into
force one hour before school takes
in and pays for any injury sustain
ed: 1. Knroute from home to school
. the student can be walking or
riding; 2. Any injury sustained
while within a school building or
on the school grounds; 3. Any in

Tale oi Lost Stetson
Grady H. Salter of Lynn, Mass..
lost his hat. And he would like
very much to have it back. So he
wrote a letter to THE NKWS
TIMES this week, relating "The
Tale of the Lost Stetson."
He says he lost it at 5 p.m. Wed
nesday, Aug. 9, in front of the
"telephone exchange," on 9th
.street in Morehead City.
The letter says. "I was visiting
my sister-in law, Mrs. Durlie Sal
ter. 1004 Bridges st. We stopped
at the exchange to pick up my
niece, Prudy Lentz, who works
there, when the hat was lost out
a door ... I thought the hat still
in Prudy 's car so did not learn it
was lost till next day.
"Some honest person may have
it. Should it be found, it should be
turned over to my sister-in law at
1004 Bridges st."
Mr. Salter, now known as The
Man Without a Hat. describes the
head gear as a natural (off-white)
Panama Stetson with a maroon
hand. Inside on the sweat band he
says he's "pretty sure" his initials,
GHS. were perforated.
OK. who's got his hat?
