Rare Lead Poisoning Ia -
Traced to Vegetables
Sydney N. S. W. An extraordinary
case of lead poisoning from plants has
been described by Dr. E. T. Brennan
of the NeW Guinea administration In
a lecture -to the International Pacific
health conference In Sydney.
A woman was admitted Into a hos
pital in New Guinea suffering from
vague abdominal pains and an Inter
mittent temperature. It was thought
that It might be caused by a recur
rence of malaria, but blood tests
proved negative.
It was then discovered that she
lived In a house which formerly had
been used as a printing works. On
digging the vegetable garden hundreds
of pieces of lead type were found.
Traces of lead were found In the toma
ioea and beans grown In the garden.
Blood tests revealed the presence of
lead.

County Committee
Named To Assist In
Debt Adjustments
"New life is being instilled into
the government's efforts to help end
the tragic story of farm foreclosur
es," J. P. Greenleaf, fieldman for the
Farm Debt Adjustment Service of
the Resettlement Administration,
said Tuesday during his visit to Per
quimans County.
Since 1933, groups of unselfish
citizens, called Farm Debt Adjust
ment Committees, have been working
without pay in their own counties all
over the nation in an effort to bring
debtor and creditor together in a
friendly atmosphere where they may
see each others problems and work
out a voluntary agreement benefit
ing both parties.
The committee for Perquimans
County is composed of the following:
C. P. Morris, chairman, Hertford.
V. N. Darden, vice chairman, Hert
ford. L. W. Anderson, secretary, Hert
ford. Dr. E. S- White, Belvidere.
W. E. Dail, Durants Neck.
Any depressed farm debtor or any
creditor who desires help in reaching
a satisfactary adjustment of mort
gages or other debts is invited to
I call on any member of this commit
tee. Or they may leave their appli
cations at the office of the County
If you do dry cleaning at home,

Agent with Miss Helene Nixon, act
ing secretary.
This work is now being carried on
by a unit of the Resettlement Ad
ministration. The FDA unit works
hand in hand with the Rural Rehabil
itation Division of the Resettlement
Administration. Local and district
rehabilitation supervisors assist
County Farm Debt Adjustment com
mittees in working out satisfactory
adjustments, and FDA fieldmen from
the regional office, in turn, give ad
vice and assistance both to the com
mittees and to the rehabilitation
supervisors, according to Mr. Green
leaf. "Debt reductions of approximately
$75,000.00 have been effected for
farmers in the counties of his dis
trict which includes Perquimans
County since early fall, when the
Resettlement Administration took
over the activities of Farm Debt Ad
justment from the Farm Credit Ad
ministration," Mr. Greenleaf, who is
Farm Debt Supervisor for the work
in this and surrounding counties,
said. "Those adjustments result in
the payment of thousands of dollars
in delinquent taxes," he added.
