Hedlth Officer Issues Appeal Raleigh—Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, State Health Officer for North Carolina, has issued the follow, ing statement, to which he has requested that wide publicity be given: “In view of the extended busi ness and official holiday leave which this year will be observed in connection with the Fourth of July, and because of hundreds of inquiries I have received from North Carolina and throughout the country, I feel it my official duty at this time to urge our people to refrain from planning themselves to go or to carry their children into sections where there is an unusual incidence of infant ile paralysis. “The purpose of this appeal is not to ask the people to shun any one section in preference to another, but to avoid unnecessary exposure by not going into a section where there is a known prevalence of infantile paralysis. “I am sure that upon careful reflection anyone will realize that there are many resorts free from suspicion of infantile pa ralysis and that such resorts will be selected in preference to those that may be questionable from the standpoint of presence of this disease. “In other words, why sell your birthright for a mess of pottage? At the same time, I am convinced that those who live in areas where the incidence of infantile paralysis is above normal are doing uninfected sections an un justice to go into them: and is hoped that, during this season, persons from such areas will not, in order to shun danger at home, o FOR RESULTS.

VISIT OUR STORE WHILE IN THE CITY WE EXTEND A HEARTY V WELCOME GREEN’S “JEWELRY” come to North Carolina resorts. Let it be remembered also that there are some who, although they do not develop infantile paralysis in its active stage, serve as carriers—as in the case of typhoid fever and diphtheria —and that these may communi cate the disease in its virulent form to others; to those, perhaps, who may become incapacitated for life, as the result.” “This is an appeal for the self, preservation of our people who are urged to stop, look and listen!” C3CC Enrollment To Take 1,357 In July Twenty COC camps and three enrollment centers at Raleigh, Wilmington and Asheville will accept 1,357 enrollees between July 5 and 8 in North Carolina’s regular third quarter enrollment, T. L. Grier, State CCC selection supervisor, said yesterday. The 1,357 requisitioned for July rep resents approximately half the number called for in April when many replacements were made because of the number who had completed their final enlistment. The policy of accepting the ap licants at camps nearest their homes saved $45,000 in January and April enrollments this year, Grier said, the actual cost for each youth accepted in April a mounting to 39 cents as against an expense of $3.43 for each man enrolled last October. The United States Department of Labor now has no connection with the Corps, Grier stated, sin ce the President’s reorganization plan shifted the organization to the new security group. W. Frank Persons, national selection dir ector, moved from the Labor de partment to the office of the dir ector and is now special assistant to Robert Feldner, Corps direct or, Grier said. Asheville will take 83 boys, Wilmington, 64, and Raleigh will enroll 177, while the number of enrollees to be accepted at each of the twenty acceptance camps is as follows: Manteo 46, Eliza bethtown 59, Washington 155, Franklinton 89, Lexington 53, Madison 70, Albermarle 91, Salis bury 44, Gastonia 61, Newton 35, Morganton 10, Marion 46, Danbury 13, Mt.

Harris Garage -*Mf-y. Court Street ' Mfr Harris, Prop. Jane Wyman Has New Way To ‘Count Ten’ Jane Wyman has taught all her friends and co-workers at the Warner Bros. Studio to watch her for any and all signs of tempera ment. The instant one appears they simply say, “Whoa, Jane go out and come in again.” Whereupon Jane smiles sweet ly, makes a curtsy, and if she has spoken sharply to anyone, apolo gizes. The supreme test came one day recently when she skipped lope with Wayne Morris, Ed Bro. phy and Maxie Rosenbliom for a gymnasium scene in “The Kid from Kokomo.” “You crazy galoot stripped me!” she cried to the actors who had been spinning the rope for her. “Go out and come in again!” called Director Lewis Seiler. “Sorry, gentlemen,” said Jane, gritting her teeth but smiling, “So veddy, veddy clumsy of me.” o Children In Jail Steadily Falling In North Carolina “The best figures we have a vailabie indicate that there were 878 children confined in county jails in 1938, much less than the 1,070 in 1937 and the 1,231 in 1936,” W. C. Ezell, director of the division of institutions and cor rections of the State welfare de partment, said this week. “We believe this trend is a direct result of the effort on the part of welfare superintendents to eliminate the unsocial prac tice of keeping minors in kinder gartens of crime where they come in contact with seasoned profes sors of law-breaking. “During April, 1938, there were only 58 children reported in the county jails, which is the small est number since we have been keeping records. The 1937 total was a reduction of 13 per cent over 1936, while 1938 figures were 26 percent below 1936 and 17 percent below 1937. Compara tively few very young children are now confined in jail, the greater number being above 14 years of age.” Greatest Tire Offer In Our History Pennsylvania Tires As Low As $2.32 Pennsylvania De Luxe With Road Hazard 12 Month Guarantee 4:50 x 21 for $2.32 4:75 xl9 for $2.72 - 5:50 xl7 for $2.98 6:00 xl6 for $3.33 - 6:50 xl6 for $5.55 Offer Begins Monday June 26th* Through July 4th Here’s Our Offer To You.
