THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT ETERNAL LIFE: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. This do, and thou shalt live. Luke 10:27-28. HEALTH OFFICER RISES TO AN EMERGENCY Dr. G. E. Newby, Perquimans County's health officer, is to be com mended on his prompt and decisive action in handling the situation at Winfall with reference to the possible spread of spinal meningitis. When it became known -on Sunday that a case of spinal meningitis had developed at Winfall there was a near panic among certain residents, par ticularly among parents of young children. However, when it was learned that; the health officer, realizing the ne cessity for prompt precautionary measures, had ordered that all those who had been in contact with the pa tient during his illness be quarantined and the statement was made by Dr. Newby that with proper precaution he believed the situation could be controlled, the fear subsided. While there is no treatment known which will prevent an attack of spinal meningitis, there are certain precautionary measures, the safest being the segregation of those who have been in contact with the uis ease until the period of incubation has passed. It is possible that the case of spinal meningitis in Winfall may prove to be a sporadic ease, and that there will be i no further outbreak. It fre quently happens that only one case of many and various contagious dis eases occur in a community. On the other hand it is possible that one or more cases might occur in widely separated neighborhoods. That there is danger of contagion and spread of the disease is not to be denied. Certainly a serious situa tion might develop. At present, how ever, there is no cause for grave alarm. The fact that the health of ficer was on the job in time an that he has done everything possible to prevent a possible spread of the dis ease is reassuring. YOUTH OF TODAY NEED WISE LEADERSHIP Fundamentally, the youth of today are just as idealistic, just as courage ous, just as loyal as they ever were. What they need, thouglTthey are not always aware of that fact, is wise leadership, and one of the main causes of their unrest is that upon looking around the world they do not find enough of that type of leader ship. If we of the older generation are wise, we will not waste, time in deploring youth's spirit, of adventure and change; we will sympathize with it, cooperate with it, and seek to guide it. Walter D. Head, in the Rotarian Magazine. Something new under the sun is a classified ad which rhymes. And fishermen who bought the big fish they caught! Bill Jordan of Hertford, Herbert Winslow and Nath. an Riddick, of Belvidere, and G- W. Alexander, of Chapanoke, went to Nags Head and Manteo on a fishing trip last Thursday and came fcack with a hundred pounds of fish, and frankly admit that they bought them.

S. Malchace arrived in Hope well, Virgirli, home of the Ameri can nitrate of soda industry. The steamer carried the first of the many cargoes of soda ash from the new plant in Baton Rouge, Louisi ana, that will be destined for use in the production of American nitrate lovers of the sport. By the way, Mr. Whitley killed no less than fifteen snakes on a fishing trip recently when the fish didn't bite so well. Mr. Whitley says he shoots a snake from a safe distance. These snake hunters appear to have a wholesome fear of what the snake might do if he got a chance to strike back. BELVIDERE NEWS Mr. and Mrs. J. M.
