Doagd OfBoET SvuTipfJovLftely Following Election What looks like the final termina tion of a problem which has been bothering for years mid-county resi dents back of Center Hill and on through into Perquimans County, relative to the drainage of the cen tury and more old Bear Swamp, per mitting abutting farm residents to benefit thereby, came to a head on Tuesday when' a special election by these tax payers was held at L. W. Belch's store, and the selection of three commissioners was consumated. The commissioners so chosen were Dr. T. P. Brinn, of Hertford, Archie Lane, of Perquimans, and L. W. Belch for Chowan's side. The newly elected officials, em powered by Superior Court mandate, will at once employ experts who will make a survey of the territory to be drained, estimate the cost of such drainage, and fix an assessment value of so much an acre on abutting and benefitting farm lands by which the expense of the work will be de rived. Bear Swamp has Tor a century been centralized from an ancient and still exisiting canal that once rait from the Perquimans River into .the Center Hill territory. Originally its waters seeped out through the adja cent farm lands, but of late years it has been more a malaria breeder than anything else. It is the desire of Tuesday's voters and the commis sioners to get the drainage back into old time form with a consequent beneficial and improvement result to farm lands. The county board of health has listed the canal, which has in its cen ter a little spring of the purest wa ter imaginable, and the adjoining swamp as a breeding spot for malaria and have condemned it. The expected new move will ob viate this as well as be beneficial to farmers on both sides of the swamp. John Darden Named Plymouth Postmaster Congressman Herbert C.

How to get auch shots Is explained below. winter 17 VERY aow and ihea, stunt picture adds variety to the cam nra hobby Or course, fou don't want a regular diet of them. But It's run to have a few tn the album a hots that make people say. "For goodness sake! How did you get tbat oneT It's certainly a clever shotf" Tbe picture above Is One ex ample of a "stunt shot" and yet, It was really quite easy to take Tbe girls simply stood In a circle, then bent over and put their heads together, like a football huddle The camera was on tbe floor, fo cused tor a closeup, and pointing straight upward. Pot light, a email flash bulb was placed beetde tbe camera, and the exposure was made by the simple "open the abutter, flash the bulb, close the shatter" method. It could probably have been taken just ai easily by having two flood lights an Inch or so from the floor, one on either side of the camera. This la an "up angle stunt shot, but you could also turn things right around and take a "straight down" shot maybe from the upper stairway landing that would be Just as Interesting. Another stunt that provides lots of tun is to hare part of a snbject too close to the camera, so tbat It shows up too large being care ful. of course, not to hurt anybody's reelings Doubtless you have seen pictures of a person sitting on a bench, with bis feet toward the cam era so that they were several sizes over normal. That's "old stuff" now but try It with a subject's band. Have him lecturing the camera, or making a speech and gesturing to ward the camera or put a boxing glove on him and have him pretend to take a poke at the camera. With tbe bend about two feet from tbe camera, the subject himself can be about four feet back, and appear much smaller Ton must use a very small lens opening, bnt even If the band Is a little out of focus, the effect Is still Interesting. One of the most mystifying stunts 18 (o show an object floating In air. This Is easy Indoors. Tou Just hang up the object by a black thread, and light It with a photo lamp. Then you place a piece of cardboard a foot or two in front of the light, high enough so It Just shades the thread but doesn't shade the sub ject And the thread Is then lost" against the shadows in the back ground It Isn't even there. Try some of these stunts. They're tun on a winter evening and yonll get pictures that really surprise your friends. John ran Guilder Infantile Virus Counteracted By Quick Treatment NO disease frightens parents as much as infantile paraly sis. But the disease is compara tively rare and its dread after effects can be largely minimized of frequently eliminated entirely by prompt and effective measures. This reassuring message from Maxine Davis, the world's fore most reporter on medical subjects, appears' in an up-to-the-minute discussion of the disease in the August issue of Good Housekeep ing magazine. Infantile, Miss Davis says, is caused by a virus, an organ ism so small that it cannot be seen through a microscope. Doctors be lieve that it usually enters the body through the upper part of the nose or the intestinal tract, and that once it has gotten into the spinal cord, it attacks the cells that act as storage batteries for the nerves, which go out like electric wires to the muscles. But the chances of contracting infantile are small, Miss Davis re ports. There were fewer than 10,000 cases last year and only a small fraction were fatal. Actually, ac cording to the Good Housekeeping article, the label "infantile" is mis leading, because it occurs In adults as well. The symptoms, says Miss Davis, are mild fever, upset stomach, per. sistent headache, and a rapid pulse. Then, when the temperature drops, the paralytic stage sets in. It is impossible to tell what portion of the body will be paralyzed, but if terrific pain is suffered in some portion of the body, it is probable that that area will be affected. Miss Davis says frankly that doctors do not know how to con trol infantile.. But once it is diag nosed, an 'orthopedic specialist should be called in immediately, for the promptness with which you act may make all the difference in the world to the patient In most cajees, the orthopedist will place the pa tient in splints, if there is any evi dence of paralysis or muscle ak ness. These Splints are design!! to hold the muscles of the body in position as nearly neutral as pos sible. Drugs and serums are not used in treating the disease, but special treatment known as pnisio. therapy consisting of supervised, exercise, heat, and massage ate , prescribed to maintain muscle tone. , , Infantile treatment is not to be L had , inexpensively, ? Miss. Davis, . points out, but the' federal gov ernment, under the Social Security, - Act 'has appropriated money for,' ; the care of elf crippled children, : Including victims of paralysis.-The , ,' National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, located at 120 Broadway, New-York City, is mother agency which supplements the services of ocai, and. federal government.
