There has been a medical asso ciation in Hyde county which these families have the privilege of join ing for the past four years.

SPENCER Hyde county merchants loser thousands of dollars in business to the mail order houses every year just because they are not organiz ed. At least that is the opinion of some of the county’s leading citi zens. The situation is this. Every mer chant tries to carry a general stock. No store carries a complete ine of goods. Buyers are therefore forced to order many items, and while they are making out the or- ler they* add other items to the list. There is not what could be class ed a first class store in Hyde coun ty, although there are a number of well stocked and progressively managed mercantile firms. According to those who think that both merchants and buyers would benefit by an agreement among merchants to specialize in. certain types of trade, there enough business in Hyde county to support well stocked specialize stores. The idea boils down to this. T^e man who would deal in groceries would not sell ladies’ underwear, nor would the man dealing in hard ware sell drinks and cigarettes. Under the plan, Swan Quarter and Engelhard would each have a hardware and farm implement store; a grocery and market, a clo thing store (maybe one specializ- aign manager. ;j,„ ^gns wear, one in women 3 No definite date has been set » rtTJo in cLnAS- nr mabve male and female enslavement to the , HYDE RECORDER TRIES SS id th^*"* R.

This assures every member medical attention when needed. Some families use three or four times the value of their money. Others don’t call the doctor during the year, according to the officials A hospitilization association was set up February 1st. It will take care of a bed in a hospital for anv member of the family for as many | as thirty days. A plan is being] worked out, where with a small ad-- ditionai sum, the operation fee will be covered. The plan will enable many low income farm people that need hospitalization to get imme diate attention, and thus prevent more serious cases. Through better balanced meals, instructions in caring for the sick, and medical attention when needed, there will be healthier families in Hyde county say FSA officials. Mps. Madeline E. Smith, Associ ate FSA supervisor has held discussion grouns on health problems and will con tinue in the future to emphasize ' the health of the family as an 'im portant element in getting food production and winning the war. No definite for the official opening of the Cherry headquarters, but state headquarters will be opened in Ra leigh in late February, or early March. Widely known throughout the state, Mr. Umstead is a native of Durham county. He attended the Universitv of North Carolina and graduated with the Class of 191-6, After leaving the University hq taught school in Kinsfori.''

Smaller communities would have more general stores. ^ The idea as advanced would in no sense be socialist in nature, in on sense be sovialist in nature. It would be a matter of voluntary action by the merchants for the benefit of the buyers and his own profit.
