At tttie time permission was
granted for the show Alderman
John Rider, a member of the sta
dium committee, raised the tet
anus question and Dr. Fleming
Fuller pointed out that tetanus
germs cannot survive in air, and
tetanus can only flourish in a
leep, puncture-type wound where
the germ may multiply free of
oxygen. Fuller pointed out that
since he was a horse lover, and
his daughter has a horse which
she plans to show in the Kinston
event he had not trusted his own
opinion and had asked four dis
interested doctors on the staff of
Memorial General Hospital, and
each pf these had agreed with
him that the dangers involved to
athletes because of the horse1
show being held in the stadium
were extremely remote.
It was pointed out that Green
ville, Farmville, Weldon, Enfield,
Mount Olive, Clinton and pos
sibly many other towns In East
ern Carolina bad for many years
been holding horse shows in their
ball park and each had again
this year.
There was strong opposition to
the horse show from Mayor Guy
Elliott, who is also a member of,
the county board of health,
from City Manager Bill Heard
end Coach Mock. Heard largely
objected to “letting down the bars
to any kind of future use of the
park.” Mock and Elliott made no
public statements as to their
specific reasons for objecting.
Elliott as chairman of the 8ta
lium committee voted against the
boxse show but made no state
