North Carolina is truly every thing that any other .place is, and more. We have scenery that will equal any, anywhere. Visitors to North Carolina have their choice of a dozen varied va cations, ranging from the roof of Eastern America, to a surf-washed coast with 300 miles of waterfront. From the Appalachian mountain system in Western North Carolina, with its wtell-established resort centers, the state slopes gradually to the capes which jut out toward the Gulf Stream and provide some of the best sport fishing in America- Summer, winter, spring, and autumn bring their quotas of visi tors to North Carolina, to enjoy its year iiround attractions. More and more people are con sidering North Carolina as a place in which to live and work, or to which to retire. Its climate is attractive, both to those tired of fighting blizzards and sandstorms and those weary of the enervating heat of the sub-tropics. Its varied topography offers many choices. While some newcommers estab lish pretentious estates, it is not necessary to have a lot of money to settle comfortably in North Carolina. The natural resources for outdoor activities are close at hand, inexpensive to use. The large numbers of small towns permit families to enjoy rural life with urban conveniences, or to establish part-income farms close to mar kets. Whether for a visit, or to settle permanently, come to North Caro lina!

State Law Requires Children Over 6 Months To Be Immunized o The North Carolina State Law requires every child past the age of six months to be immunized against Diphtheria by a private physician or local health depart ment. If baby is now a year old, and we do not yet have a record in our office showing that he (or she) has been immunized against Dinhtheria. On March 13, 1945, a new law was ratified in the General As sembly to read as follows: “All children in North Carolina are required to be immunized against Whooping Cough before reaching the age of one year.” For several years we have been giving Whoop ing Cough immunization as this can be done at the same time your child is immunized against Diph theria. Protection against both diseases requires only three in jections four weeks apart. Both of these diseases are very danger ous for your child and he (or she) should be protected against them. If you have not already done so, go to your family physician for this protection or come to the County Health Department, 9th floor of the Court House, on any Friday or Saturday morning be tween 9 and 12 o’clock. If you live near Black Moun tain, you may come to the Health Department Clinic at Dr. An thony’s office each Thursady at 2 p. m.

Member North Carolina Press Association 5 Cents Per Copy. Tobacco Industry Shows Increase During Same Period 0 Raleigh, July—While average tex tile industry employment in North. Carolina declined by 13.9 percent from the peak year of 1942 to the last war year of 1945, average employment in the tobacco in dustry increased 18.4 percent in the same period, it is revealed in figures released by Henry FI. Ken dall, chairman of the State Un employment Compensation Com mission. Textile employment in 1942, highest because Selective Service withdrawals had not been heavy up to that period, accounted for 61.1 percent of all manufacturing employment covered by the UC Law, with 236,522 workers. By 1945 average employment had dropped to 203,588 workers, when it represented only 57.7 percent of all manufacturing employment, due to elimination of third, and even second shifts, operated dur ing the war period. Tobacco headed the list in in creases in employment from 1942 to 1945, but employment in chemi cals and fertilizer activities in creased by 3.4 percent; workers in rubber products increased by 494.8 percent but dropped again soon after; iron and steel workers increased by 26.3 percent; workers i n agricultural and industrial machinery increased 3.0 percent; in motor vehicles, 51.5 percent, and 45.1 percent in miscellaneous manufacture. A remarkable increase in em ployment was shown in city, and suburban bus transportation, as well as in taxicab and air trans portation, due to war conditions early in the year. Employment in eating places also jumped in the three years by 47.7 percent and in wholesale trade by 34.3 per cent. Banks increased employment by 21.4 percent and brokerage and security agencies by 28.5 percent. Service industries all showed gains in employment, not ab 1 e among them being private voca tional schools, by 152.2 percent, and radio broadcasting, 33 per cent. On the declining employment side of the picture in the 1942-45 period, along with textiles, was construction work, which employ ed 42,111 fewer workers in 1945 than in 1942, a decline of 47.9 percent. Also, it is shown that in 1945 there were 10,260 fewer construction workers than in 1940. Employment in all phases of mining declined 19.3 percent in the three yeaqsv principal item in which was strategic mica, mined in important quantities for war purposes. Some activity in the production of coal and petrolium products in 1942 had been discon tinued entirely in 1945. In the pro fessional group a heavy reduction, was shown, due to retirement of a large force of engineers from the State after employment in eon structio n of military bases. Employment decreases were shown in the three years in other activities covered by the UC Law, including 1 umber manufacture, structural clay products, in truck ing and warehousing, in water transportation, electric light and power utilities, lumber and build ing supply dealers, grocery and apparel stores, credit agencies, speculative building, real estate and loan offices. “It is remarfeeble that, even with restrictions on civilian pro duction, need for meeting the pro blems of reconversion and the re lease of at least 30,000 war work ers in August, September and Oct ober, 1946, all manufacturing in North Carolina showed a decline of only 8.8 percent in employment and employment in all activities in the State declined only 11.2 per cent from 1942 to 1946,” said Chairman Kendall.
