R. Seeley. Carteret county has a total of about 700 men and women in the armed forces. Each of these men and women, or their relatives, and in some instances, both, have re ceived blanks to be filled out ask ing for absentee ballots for the per son in service. The blanks were mailed from Seeley's office. The deadline for applications for absentee ballots for persons serv ing in the armed forces is the day before election. However, Seeley indicates that it takes some ten days to process the application and forward a ballot, so applications should be in as soon as possible. Civilian requests for absentee ballots were taken from Oct. 1 and will be issued until Nov. 1. Under state law, no absentee ballots can be sent out after that time. How ever, Seeley points out that his of fice is lenient with cases of fisher men or other workers who find it necessary, at short notice, to be ?twent from the county on eioAiQQ day. Ballots may be issued after the legal closing period if just cause can be shown why the ballot should be issued. Concert Dales Confirmed Mrs. George W.

Ennctt reports that there are more measles this fall than usual with the largest number of cases centering on Harkers Island. The health department has on hand a supply of immune globulin which is available without 6ost to all physicians. Immune globulin, depending upon the amount inject ed, will prevent measles or permit the child to have only a mild case. ' A dose large enough to prevent measles gives protection for a per iod of several weeks only, while if the child is allowed to have a mild case, he usually gets permanent immunity. The health department at its regular vaccination clinics, held Tuesday afternoons and Saturday mornings, will, upon the the re quest of the family doctor, vacci nate the child with immune globu lin. The health officer commented that Carteret county had been re markably free from measles epi demics in recent years. He also commented that it seemed to be the nature of the disease to appear in epidemic form in cycles of three to four years. October 31 Is Deadline J For 1952 ACP Program The period for carrying out soil building practices under the 1952 Agriculture Conservation Program ends Oct. SI, 1952, according to B. J. May. production and market ing administrator in Carteret coun ty May says that Friday. Oct. 17 is the date on which the issuance of approvals and purchase orders for conservation materials ends. This means that there will be no prac tices approved under the 1952 ACP program after the close of busineas on Friday, Oct 17. It also means that any approved practices under the 1952 program, whether they involve the use of conservation ma terials or other type practices must be completed by Oct. 31, or the ap proval will be cancelled. The PMA administrator reports that the 1952 program is a new type program and farmers obtaining conservation materials for use un der the 1052 program should make ?very effort to use this material and report it before Oct. 31. Farmers holding purchase orders for conservation materiala to be used under the 1952 program will have to obtain this material prior I to Oct 31 or the purchase order i will be void after that date. Farm ers requesting assistance under the 1953 program, if they have not al- | ready done ao. should check now at the county PMA office in the Post Office building to determine i if they have used aU available 1952 i money allotted to their farm. This I applies to farmers who have al ready obtained assistance aa well I as those who have not. May says that even though com mitteemen contacted farmers some i time ago and listed aaaistanea de- i ilrsd under the program. aU prac- I licas requested at that time may i not h?ve been approved. ACP money allotted to the county for use in this connection was not suf ficient to care for all requests from the 500 farmers asking this assist ance. However, May reports that there is still a small amount of money from the 1953 fund available for use by farmers in this county, pro vided it is requested and approved by the closing date, Oct. 17. , Vendors furnishing conservation materials on purchase orders have been notified that they may not ac cept any purchase orders for ma terials to be used under the 1952 program after Oct. 31. They have also been requeited to submit all purchase orders filled and in their possession to the county PMA of fice within five days after the clos ing date. May says it is doubtful if vendors failing to comply with this request will be paid purchase orders submitted after that date. Farmers are requested to co operate with the county office and with the vendors in presenting their purchase orders immediately upon receipt to the vendor and then using the material as quickly as possible after it has been de livered. May says that in the past, ap proved ditching practices have been carried through December. This year that cannot be done. Any ipproved farm ditch or tile drain age practice must be completed by Oct. 31, and reported, or the ap proval will be cancelled. It cannot be transferred to the 1853 program Questions concerning these rul ings should be referred to the county PMA office. It is open from J:flO a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The office is rlosed on Saturdays. ... -v: ' . . . ja. Battle Looms In Hour .

Paul said that 59 million Ameri can adults use passenger cars daily, with the typical auto travel ing 9,340 miles per year. Accord ing to the Beaufort auto dealer, 68 per cent of all winter driving is classified as "necessity use." There are 16 million "old" cars operating in the U. S. today, with 9,000.000 of these more than 12 years old. The average farm car today has more than 48.000 miles on its speedometer, as compared with 41,000 in metropolitan areas. The speaker stated that 20 per cent of all retail sales in the U. S. are automotive. "The auto is now as essential to the work of the American people," he added, "as are any of the tools of industry." Numa Eure reminded the club that next week is the period set for a nation-wide fund drive for the Boy Scouts of America. "I think it would be nice for all mem bers of this club to bring their donations here next Tuesday night," he suggested, "rather than give your contributions to solici tors." The Rotary group sponsors the Beaufort Scout troop. Dr. Walt Chipman presided at the meeting in the absence of President Glenn Adair, who is away on a camping trip. Visiting Rotarians included Frank Exum and Jim Wheatley, of the Morehead City club.

After Oct. 25, Seeley says, no registrations may be made. He points out that voters registered in previous county elections need not register again. However, new residents are warned that in voting in tr>wn elections in Morehead City and Beaufort, they may not be registered in the county registra tion books. Citizens of the U.

Registration will be at the poll ing places for the various precincts mi Oct. 11, 18, and 25. Registrars, however, are authorized to take registrations at any time during the registration period. During the three days, the 11th, 18th, and 25th, the polling places will be open from 9 a.m. ifntfl sundown. Election officials, according to Seeley, are anxious that every new comer register and vote.
