That big hotel down there is a nice place. They have white belt boys and give all kinds of service. As a matter of tact everything was about perfect. I was with E. B. Craven ana we stayed at the hotel until about twelve o'clock at night and then wo left to go to our room at a Tourist camp. and I don't care what you say that tourist camp was alright. We recommend it to any of our friends who do not wish to in vest over 75c in a bed for the night. Dewey Bradsher went down to the Dentist Convention a few days after I left. He and Jack Hughes went together and they both insist that they stayed at the hotel. If I ever get a chance I am going to check the register just to be sure Ask Buddy Long what golf balls are worth. A few nights ago at The Kiwanis Club, Dick Woody had two 25c golf bails m a box. The box was supposed to have three 25c balls in it. Said balls were put up at auction and Buddy put in a bid of 60c for the two 25c balls. It is needless to say that they were passed over to Mr. Long. That boy was a little hot and bothered when he found out that he had' two, not three, balls. Dick finally gave him a refund of 20c. Joe Billy, Lester, Clayton has built himself a private office in his place of business.

NUMBER TWENTY-EIGHT New One-Shot Dose Ef fective When Persons Have Had Three Dose Treatment Within Past Few Years. Clinic Schedule Announc ed. With the approach of summer and the season for typhoid fever, the Person health staff has ar ranged vaccination schedules for the County in which an outstand ing feature is the new on-dose a-year method, employed by the health department here for the first time, it was announced to day. Long heralded as a more com fortable means of typhoid pre vention, the annual single dose mode of vaccination was not used locally pending further experi ment. Now accepted, the plan re quires that one dose be given each year only to those who have had the three-dose injections within five years, though it is preferred that the date of such noculation be as recent as one or two years. Chief advantage of the new method consists in the milder re action that Jesuits, the amount of vaccine used being equal to the amount of the first dose of the original three-dose plan. Those taking three doses in 194 H are urged to commence the one- I dose system this year, and on that account, clinic schedules .arc „ arranged in very much the same manner as last season, it was said. A novo] feature of the one-dose method is the administration of a minute quantity of the material between the layers of the skin of the forearm, after the manner of the Schick and tuberculin test. This results in a wheal, which gives little or no reaction to the system as a whole. Recommend ed for patients who have severe symptoms from the usual typhoid vaccine, this form of innoculation will be given only in the office of the department on Wednesday afternoon throughout the sum mer. The first schedule is arranged mostly for north Orange County, and starts Friday, May 23, con tinuing through May 30. June 6, and 13th. This itinerary calls for step-over at Lacy Long’s Store at 9:00 a. m. and at Gordonton (both in Poison) at 3:00 p. m. Four trips will be made to all points, as usual. The first all-Person schedule begins with visits Monday, May -26, which are repeated Monday’, June 2. 9, and 16. Clinic points are as follows: Payne’s Tavern, 9:00; Hurdle Mill, 10:00; Bushy Fork, 11:00; Louis Hester, 1:00; Arthur Hester. 1:45; Honey Winstead, 2:30; Lea’s Chapel, 3:30 and Roseville 4:00. Gilbert Oakley Attends Institute Police School In Chapel Hill, as representa tive of the Roxbiro police de partment at the annual school for policemen conducted* by the Institute of Government next week is Gilbert Oakley, who left today. Officer Oakley, one of the younger members of the depart ment, expects to be away for the whole week. Local representative last year was Officer Charlie S. Wade.
