THE JONES COUNTY NUMBER 12 TRENTON, N. CL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1965 volume xvn Sleeping Sickness in Animals Around Kinston Area; Precautions are Urged public health officials have issUed urgent warnings because of numerous cases of sleeping sickness (encephalitis) found in the general Kinston area, in the past week by area veterinar ians. The disease is often called “blind staggers’* in animals. Livestock owners are urged to have their animals vaccinated for their protection and every precaution is urged to prevent humans from being bitten by mosquitoes, since mosquitoes . transmit this disease from in fected animals to humans. Extreme wet weather has caused a heavier crop of mos quitoes than usual and this in creases the possibility of this disease being spread to humans. Areas in which there is no public mosquito control pro gram are Urged to empty stag nant water containers and to mqke every effort to drain pot holes that offer breeding areas for mosquitoes. A further precautionary re minder is to use insect repellant on workers or children at play who may be exposed to this danger. Of course, every effort should be made to keep mosquitoes out of homes and to kill those that get in despite screens and the best efforts to keep them out side. . _ Full detail? .can ,ba «biaiiusd. in the health office in each county of the best control meth ods.

Senator Sam Ervin Doesn't Like Vietnam War, But Feels We Are Committed There The Vietnam war in which w( find ourselves engaged to ; greater extent each week pres ents a tragic situation. It alst shatters some finely developec notions that have been sold t< the American people over th< years in behalf of collective mil itary security. Vietnam’s harsh realities de monstrate that in the curreni state of the world we can couni upon ourselves but lew othei nations to defend the free world For years foreign aid has beer sold on the idea that it will aid our allies and they in turn will help us in the event of hostili ties. Large sums of American tax dollars have been spent on the theory that we were setting up a collective security system. The test has come in Vietnam and few other nations have respond ed to assist us. Yet, because others have fail ed to respond in the crisis in Vietnam, the problem of Com munist aggression does not go away, nor does it offer a solu tion for our commitment there. For the truth is that we are in Vietnam because Presidents Eis enhower, Kennedy, and John son have deemed it necessary for American forces to protect this area of the world. ! can honorably escape that com i mitment short of retreat which ■ would be more likely to endang ' er than secure our fixture.-If-.we were to withdraw in such a man ' ner from South Vietnam, we would forfeit the confidence of other free nations and urge po tential enemies to test us on other ground. Negotiation has been advocat ed as the means to extricate our selves from VietnapV Yet, the sad fact is that so long as the enemy keeps his favorable mili tary position there can be no negotiation. The record is clear. The President has tried to. nego tiate. There is no one willing to negotiate with us. There is no way to negotiate with an enemy who will not negotiate, and there cannot be negotiation un til our military situation im proves in that war-torn country. There is an old saying to the effect that even the most right eous man cannot live in peace unless it pleases his wicked neighbor for him to do so. The saying is a fitting illustration of what has been happening in South Vietnam. North Vietnam is not willing for the people of South Vietnam to live their own lives in their own ways, but oh the contrary, they are bent on subjugating the South Vietnam- ; ese to the" rule of the Commu Correction In the item last week about Simon Jackson's gift of a 43.17 acre farm to The United States of America it was mistakenly stated that he and his sisters had gotten $35,000 for the 100 foot right-of-way through more than a mile of their property.
