PARKING METERS
Parking meters' were in
stalled this week in the bus
iness section of Burnsville
by the town board of com- j
missioners.
The purpose of the met
ers, town officials have ;
pointed out, is two-fold: re-, 1
venue for the town and bet
ter regulation of traffic.
Revenue from the meters
[should aid in more income
for the town.
In addition, many of the
traffic hazards and parking
inconveniences should be
[eliminated by the installa
tion and use of the meters.
Especially during the sum
mer season these presented
very grave problems, and
, some steps for regulation
seemed necessary.
The meters are regula-,
jtion type, with 60 minute
[parking for 5c and 12 min
lute parking for lc.
i Hours when the meters
will be in use are 8 a. na. to
9 p. m. They will not be in
use on Sundays.
Use of the meters will go
into effect Friday morning.
Penalties will be imposed
jon any one who is found
tampering with meters
in any way.

two eye clinics are held
each year. The immuniza
tion program is available at
all times.
Dr. Mcßae reviewed bri
efly the book “Hospital and
Medical Care for All Our
People”. He presented the
statements that have been
repeated many times recen
tly, that of the 48- states,
North Carolina ranks 45th
in number of doctors per
1000 population; 42nd in
number of hospital beds per
capita; 39th in infant mor
tality; 41st in death of'
mothers and -48th in army
rejections for physical de
fects.
All of this, Dr. Mcßae
stated, makes vitally impor
tant the recommendations
that have been made for the
state: more doctors, more
hospitals and more health
insurance. He pointed out /
some of the advances in
preventive medicine, and
the health program for the
county.
During the business ses
-11 sion, the projects commit
[ tee submitted plans for a
school store and this was
voted favorably b y the
group. Plans for organizing
[a school band were present- ’
