more cabbage.
“The current supply of cabbage
is so far ahead of the demand
that emergency price support pur
chases have been necessary
around the Elizabeth City area to
help move the crop,” Wikson said.
The price support purchase
programs are made in carload lots
from growers, or grower associa
tions, their agents, or dealers on
the condition the vendors in turn
pay farmers a price equivalent
to the minimum price guaranteed
by the price support legislation.
Wilson pointed out that while
the department is prepared to
continue its emergency purchases
up to December 1 if necessary,
consumers can help farmers mar
ket their crops by including cab
bage more often in their daily
meals.
“There’s still time for home
makers to add a few jars of kraut
to their store of home preserved
food to provide eating pleasure
during the winter months,” he
added.

A Letter on Christian Living
HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By NEWMAN CAMPBELL
(The International Uniform
Lesson on the above topic for
Dec. 1 is Acts 19:1-20:1; Ephe
sians, the Memory Verse being
Ephesians 4:32, “Be ye kind one
to another.”)
PAUL WENT to Ephesus, a
great Greek city located in Asia
Minor. There he found a number
of brethren and he asked them if
they .had received the Holy Ghost.
They replied that “We have not
«o much as heard whether there
be any Holy Ghost.” He asked
them by whom they were bap
tized and they said by John the
Baptist. Paul said John baptized
"with the baptism of repentance,
saying unto the people, that they
should believe on Him which
Should come after him, that is,
Christ Jesus.”
They then willingly were bap
tized In the name of Jesus and
the Holy Ghost fell upon them,
l“and they spake with tongues,
and prophesied." There were
about 12 of these men.
Paul, as he preached and taught
both. Jews and Gentiles, became
the object of much opposition, so
that at last he thought it best to
continue his work in the school
of one Tyrannus, and here he
continued for two years. “God
also wrought special miracles by
the hands of Paul, so that from
Ws body were brought unto the
sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and
the diseases departed from them,
and the evil spirits went out of
them.”
Certain “vagabond Jews, exor
cists" decided they too would
drive spirits out of those pos
sessed and profit by it, by saying,
“We adjure you by Jesus whom
Paul preacheth.” Seven sons of
one, Sceva, a Jew and chief of the
priests, did this, but the evil spirit
possessing a man answered,
“Jesus 1 know, and Paul I know,
but who are ye?” Then the man
in whom the spirit was leaped
upon the brothers and beat them
so at last they fled, “naked and
wounded.”
Unbelievers Were Afraid
Jews and Gentiles alike heard
of this and were afraid, and "the
name of Jesus was magnified.”
Many believed and confessed their
misdeeds, and others brought
their magical books and publicly
burned them. "So mightily grew
the word of God and prevailed.”
Now there arose a different op
position, for one Demetrius, a sil
versmith who made silver shrines
for Diana, which brought a good
living to him and his fellow craft-
men, called the workmen together
and pointed out to them that Paul
was turning people away from the
so they
worship of Diana, and
were losing trade;-the “temple of
the \great.. goddess Diana should

be despised' and her magnlfic«nct

Asia'a'nd theifw.orld-jyorshippethJ'
The workniOT grw angry, cry*
ing, "Great is Diana of the Ephft*
slans," which filled the Whole c}ts
with confusion. The men caugbj
two of Paul’s companions, G.aluA
and Aristarchus, and'rushed wlUk
them into the theater. Paul trleA
to get in, too, but was prevented,
by his friends. The tovm clerk, op
mayor, however, quieted the peoa
pie, saying, “Ye men of Ephesus^
what man is there that knowetli
not how that the city of fthA
Ephesians Is a worshipper of tb-A
great goddess Oiana, and Of -tha
image which fell down from Jupli
ter?
■ “Seeing that these things "icanij
not be spoken against, ye ought
to be quiet, and .to_d0^notWPSi
rashly.
“For ye have brought’'tilthep
these men, which are neither rob*'
hers of churches, nor yet blas4
phemers of your goddess, Whereri
fore if Demetrius and the crafts*!
men which are with him, have
matter against any man, the law)
is open, and there are deputieasj
let them Implead one another.”
He assured them that If they,
had anything against any man, Jt
should be determined in a lawful
assembly, without uproar. So ssy*
ing he dismissed them, preventing
probable bloodshed.
Paul Goes to Macedonia
After all this Paul called htf
disciples to him,' embraced them
and departed for Macedonia.
Ten years later, Paul, now a
prisoner, wrote his letter to the
Ephesians, the fourth chapter of
which is assigned to our lesson.
This fourth chapter of Ephe*
sians is so full of gems of wls*
dem and advice on Christian Uv*
ing, that it is impossible to quote
much therefrom. It should be
earnestly studied by the teacher
and the pupils should learn at
least .some of the passages by
heart where they will be remem*
bered in later years.
He reminds the Ephesians that
as Christians they must put away
their former sinful feelings and
“be renewed in the spirit of your
mind; And that ye put on the
new man, which after God is cre
ated in righteousness and true
holiness.
“Wherefore putting away lying,
speak every man truth with his
neighbor; for we are members of
one another. Be ye angry and
sin not; let not the sun go down
upon your wrath. . . .
“Let all bitterness, and wrath
and anger, and clamour, and evil
speaking, be put away from you,;
with all malice: ,
“And be ye kind one to anoth
er, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, even as God for Christ s
sake, hath forgiv,en you.” *’

Venereal diseases dropped
slightly in tfhis county during the
last month with five cases of
syphilis and 3 of gonorrhea treat
ed at the clinic or referred to
the Western Medical Center at
Morris Field outside of Char
lotte.
There were three new cases of
tuberculosis In the county, three
scarlet fever cases were reported
and 2 cases of Diphtheria.
A total of 99 immunizations
against Smallpox, Diphtheria, and
Whooping Cough and Typhoid
Fever were given by the nurses
of the health department.
Dr. Cherry examined 29 cases
in the orthopedic clinic, nine of
them new cases and referred 4
for X-ray, and 7 for Ihospital
treatment.
In the general clinics carried
out by the health officer in the
Health Department on Saturdays,
and at Duncan’s Creek once a
month there were 56 cases, in
cluding 19 new cases. These are
referred to the health depart
ment by the Welfare Department,
by private physicians for con
sultative service, and by other
agencies, and consist of the most
part of expectant mothers, moth
ers and infants, and the aged and
infirm. Greatest attention is giv
en to the expectant mothers and
to infants.
Miss Laura Carson, who is go
ing to change her name soon, has
been kept too busy to think about
the change concerning herself
with health educati-on. She is as
sisting Mrs. Robertson, teacher
of the freshman citizenship class
at Central High School, in teach
ing community resources and the
use of them. This class is taught
something about the control of
communicable diseases, and ve
nereal diseases, and they have lec
tures and field -visits to learn
about water treatment plants,
sewage disposal plants, milk pas
teurization, and sanitation in
general.
She is also directing the parti
cipation of three schools in this
district in a state wide school
demonstration to determine just
how much improvement can be
accomplished by direct concerted
effort. Harris, Ruth, and New
Hope schools are taking part, and
their officials have already at
tended a School Health Confer
ence at Chapel Hill with Miss Car-
son.
Miss Carson is also interested
in the establishment of Home
Nursing Classes in many sections
of the county. This is a forward
step in health education, and can
be developed into one of the
most important educational pro
grams. Some classes are taught
by the Red Cross, an industrial
nurse, and a Metropolitan Nurse
are for high school students, and
some are for older interested
people.
The Sanitarians, Mr. Gibson
and Mr. Powell, have inspected
43 mai'kets, 46 cafes, and 12
hotels, along with 11 dairies, 8
drink stands, and 6 private sew
age disposal systems, and 13
private water supplies. About 12
per cent of the markets, 8 per
cent of the cafes, and 26 per
cent of the hotels are grade A.
There are ten grade A raw milk
distributors and one Grade A
Pasteurized milk distributor.
There is one grade C milk dis
tributor.
An inspection was made of
Hollis School water supply, and
negotiations are underway toward
improving it.
