ed, "We are a peace-loving people
here in North Carolina. - We are a'
happy people and we are grateful

from the thoughts of most of our
people are murder and suicide, and
yet every day on our highways law-
abiding, peace-loving citizens -just
like you and me are involved
Lin murder and . suicide victims
of carelessness,, inconsideration,
thoughtlessness, anger, and all the
other? impulses which tempt you
and me when -we drive an automo

prevent food poisoning outbreaks,
Dr. B. B. McGuire, District Health
Officer, warns.. -Vs
"With a little knowledge and
care, v such - outbreaks or , minor
sickness can be prevented, says the
health officer. "Although hundreds
of such gatherings are held in the
health district each year, we have
been fortunate to avoid, any seri

There have been ; times, however,
when .. person or persons .became
ill asa- result-. of some careless
ness. Its. ntrtural for us to live out
of doors as, much as possible in the
summertime. But during the sum
mer 'months, foods need careful
: handling and protection,' especially
if they ? are -to be held for any
length of ' time' before eaten on an
outing. ' .So, protect your food to
protect yourselves.",
To prevent food poisoning Dr.
McGuire urges housewives and
workers for churches, ' civic and
similar gatherings to observe the
following rules: -
'. See that,' before preparation,
food is clean, wholesome, free
from spoilage and safe for human
consumption.
See that -utensils in which food
is prepared and served are clean
and free of ''germs.? Paper uten

they are compact and ' light, assure
