SHatto i Carotin vlv Keep Your Gl Insurance Since 1940, "tile Veterans Adminis ' tration has written1' '19,000,000 life in- surance policies, naving a mjwi ia-e value of about $150,000,000,000, on the lives of 16,000,000 young Ameri , cans. .The punpose of the insurance was to give young men in the service of the nation an opportunity to protect their loved ones from the extra haz ard of military and naval service. The t Government assumed the cost of ad ministration, which made possible a low premium rate, and holds in trust the premiums collected for eventual return to policy holders on their bene ficiaries. The Veterans Administration is worried, however, because many vet erans who are eligible for National Service Life Insurance have permit ted their policies to expire through non-payment of the small premiums due. It is anxious for every veteran, eligible for this cheap insurance, to iwiiMt&tA It:' All that a veteran has to do is to fill out a. reinstatement form and pay th fcionthly premium. There is another important option available to those holding the insur- nnn iaQiKul ttv tha, finvemmpnt Thil relates to the conversion of the term policies into -permanent forms of in urance. While the Veterans Ad ministration cautions veterans not to convert thefift' term insurance until they become re-established and know a their financial caoafbiUtiesJ: it is anx ious for every veteran to 'make eon version before the limit let "by law. The vetera should understand that his term insurance provides death benefits alonand does not have cash, loan, paid-up or extended insurance values. Before the expiration of the term set, the veteran should not fail to make proper conversion and thus secure for himself and his benefici aries, the full benefit of the Govern ment's program of protection. It is pointed out that all GI insur ance, issued ifrior to' January 1st, 1946, may be continued for"feight years from the date of issue. Policies issued thereafter must be, converted within, five years. However, every veteran has until October. 1948. at the minimum, to convert Jtijf a permanent policy. Many veterans have consid erably longer than that date.

It is pointed oft that fifty-six per cent of the people of the United ,, States live in cifles, that they pay about ninety per cent of the taxes and , produce seventy-tjtree er cent of the national income. The figures give I , an idea of the imjftorti nee of munici palities, using tail let n to refer Cities and towns, apd t te necessity of solving their problems tf the people of the country are tohave good govern ment , , lt ltfl Men noticeable for a num- tr of ears that municipal govern-' r-- t are-witnouc, aaequete revenfp i..e functieosi (hat they are rao "osed to perform, fact, the iver ' ; State Legislature gives little heed . the necessities of municipal gdvern t , - . ' ments and in the distribution of State funds, rarely accords ths dwellers" of the municipalities a Just share of the nublic money. t. v It should be pointed out that muni cipalitiesexiit not only for the con venience of those living; within their limts, but that they serve the people of surroundng areas as well. More over, it should be patent that the de velopment of municipalities, involv ing the concentration of people, makes possible the means to support various cultural undertakings which could not be otherwise sustained. Such functions have had much to do with maintaining the culture of every na tion because of the obvious fact that non-residents of the municipality en joy t least these advantages upon basis Of equality.. It is high time that the legislature of North Carolina gives serious thought to the problems of munici palities. These do not relate exclu sively to finances, although the source of income is the most pressing prob lem at the present time. Other ques tions arise in connection with the legislative powers of municipalities. wheh find themselves, at times, un able to properly organize and direct the expansion of growing popula tions. f.1alaria ControlJ By GERTRUDE CARRAWAY That North Carolina can accom plish miracles in the way of improv ing healthful conditions throughout its boundaries, if sufficient funds and trained personnel are provided, is proved by the outstanding records! in mosquito and malaria control made during the past five years by public health authorities ana Navy officers at the Marine Air Station at Cherry Point in Craven County. "Don't keep 'em flying," was the seemingly paradoxical slogan posted at the air station in reference to the millions ,'if mosquitoes found in the low coastal area when Navy health experts began in 1941 their difficult but finally successful task of eradicat- j ing the malaria mosquitoes. In the most extensive drainage pro ject ever undertaken in the vicinity, under the direction Of Everett J. Ole nick, Lieutenant, Medical Corps, Unit ed States Navy, and with the aid and cooperation of Federal and State health officials, many miles of ditches were blasted to drain the swampy grounds and clear the former breed ing haunts of malaria mosquitoes. War was declared only, against the anopheles quadrimsculatus, the malaria-bearing breed. No specific effort was made to rid the site of pest mosquitoes, for, though annoying and pesky,, they are not dangerous or deadly. Front research investigations etf trained matariolosj&tsr .i was known that it would be Impossible and inef fectual to try to destroy the mosqui toes simply by catching, swatting or otherwise killing all the adult. Oth ers would come too quickly. It was realized by Lieutenant Ole nick and his 150 assistants that there are .three links which have to be broken for permanent results: The seed, or sick, persons, for whom screens and treatments have to be de vised; the sower, or malaria mosqui toes, which carry the germs of the disease; and the soil, or the indivi duals who might get. the germe. Planning: his attack to break all these links but to aim chiefly at the main source and causes of the trouble, Dr. Olenick . concentrated most atten tion on the, weakest part of the second link the larval stage of the mosquito. His studies had taught him that malaria mosquito eggs are laid on the shore near, water or on still fresh water exposed , to the sun, especially if it has noating vegetation. It was fairly easy to ' find such places, after fighting through the jungle-like un- dergrowth along the guts and swamps of the 11,165 acre reservation. Two methods' of destroying the larvae were used effectively. One was to pour an oil mixture, made from fuel oil and waste truck oil, on the breeding places. This oil has a toxic quality and kills the larvae. But the treatment had to be repeated fre quently, for complete results. The other method of destroying larvae was to dredge and fill in the breeding plaices or to drain them of stagnant water. Three draglines were used to drain low land, and a floating hydraulic dredge was utilized for months to fill in breeding sites. Tons of dynamite were exploded to blast out new ditches, in order to permit standing water to flow down to the larger creeks and to Neuse River. A specially-designed boat was made, 19 feet long and eight feet wide, requiring a draft of only 10 to 12 inches of water, to traverse the smaller creeks and sprayheibanks, rlsewScdOtbe adapt ed for thejjir katiou.becaes j.of its At oleefeW nPS&Slelin & nrfm Hereof ail types of malaria and the almost complete extinction of ma laria" mosquitoes ' were Reported bj Ensign O. B. Cope, USNR, an entom ologist assigned to the task. During the fall of 1942, when thousands of Marines were, being trained at Cherry Point in an area that previously had been filled with malarial germs, not a single case of malaria was reported among the military personnel. Similar successful methods were employed at the Marine Reservation at Camp Lejeulie along New River in Onslow County.

' . 5 ' Careful surveys in early 1943, for instance, showed no malaria at all in New River areas of Onslow County, where three or four years earlier 18 per cent of the Negro papulation had malaria. The same improvement Was reported- from Cherry Point, Jtfere head City, Fort Bragg and other im portant military centers. A general reduction of at least 60 per cent wis reported for the disease in North Carolina. War training in this State could not have been so successful without this health program. Malaria would have been a deadly fifth columnist As a side result of the drainage pro grams, the health of the general civ ilian public was vastly improved around Elizabeth City, Edenton, New Bern, Jacksonville, Wilmington, Dur ham, Monroe and other military areas. What was achieved bears positive proof of what can be done to prevent disease, if adequate money and train ed experts are available. The record speaks for itself. But only certain portions of the State for this disease have been so far protected. There are other sections and other diseases along the inland waterways, through the mountains and in the industrial areas still crying for attention, if North Carolina is to become the healthful state that it should become.
