more prosperity in these counties and

tax rates automatically decrease
when valuations increase and go I'D
when valuations drop. There is no
surer sign that North Carolina has
just about recovered from the depres-
sion and is back on a sound basis
again than the decrease in tax rates
being reported from almost every sec
ton of the State, or the adoption of
larger city and county budgets with
out any increase in the tax rates."
The reduction of the tax rate in
several counties, especially in Vance
and Edgecombe counties, was made
possible as a result of the revenue
from the county liquor stores, John
son pointed out, while in several 9TH
'er counties having liquor stores, the
additional revenue from these made
it possible to materially increase the
budgets without increasing the tax
rate.
Reports have not yet been received
and tabulated from all of the coun-
ties as to the new valuations and tax
rates as compared with last year.

Just a day or two ago young man
came into Mr.. Pitts office here and
waited for an opportunity to speak
to him. The young man was a former
prisoner who had just completed a
two years sentence and who came by
to thank Pitts for what he had done
for him while he was in prison and
that the two years in prison had
made him see things differently
'"This boy told me that the two
years in prison had been good for
him, that he had needed it and that
he was confident he could now go
straight if he could just get a job.
I asked him if he had a job, and he
said he did not. He told me he had
been a painter by trade. I then called

problem that If an artery, such as
that in the arm, were compressed
by hollow bag Of rubber contain
ing air, the pressure in the artery
would be transmitted to the bag
and could, in turn, be recorded in
terms of the height of a column
of fluid. The first fluid used was
water, but this was replaced by
mercury because it is less cumber-
some.
Such an apparatus is the one we
use now.
Blood pressure determinations
have become so regular part of
routine diagnostic examinations.
and such wide variations have been
found in different individuals, that
the public has had it's attention in
evitably focused on the situation.
And unfortunately number of
popular misconceptions have arisen
regarding it.
Perhaps the most frequent ques-
ton which the average patient puts
is, what should my blood pres
sure be?" The real answer to that
is, ut should be just what it is"
This is not intended to be quizzical
or evasive. It is simply practical
statement of the fact that blood
pressure is not fixed and stable
entity, but that it f1uctuates con-
stantly in response to various fac
tors.
For instance, it must be obvious
that when the body is lying fat it
will be easier for the heart to
maintain a pressure in the vessels
of the brain as We'll as all over the
body, than when one is standing
i upright. Again, if you run a hum
dred yards, your heart must keep
up a more rapid blood flow. and
the pressure under which it flows
must necessarily be higher. Pos
ture and activity, then, determine
pressure.
These physiologic variations in
response to posture and activity
are temporary. But gradual per-
manent changes also occur, and by
all odds the most frequent varia-
ton occurs in age periods. In gen.
eral, the blood pressure is low in
infancy and childhood, and tends
gradually to rise through the dec.
AIDES until about the age of 60,
when, with the reduced activity
and other adjustments, it settles
down to a lower level

must move under pressure, he
knew. The muscular contractions
of the heart take care of that. But
how much pressure and how is it
maintained? The Rev. Stephen
Hales answered those questions.
He took the blood pressure by the
direct method-he caused super
animated mare, who was to be
killed anyhow, to be tied down to a
gate, and opening her carotid ar
terry, he inserted glass tube with
a brass tip, attached to which was
the windpipe of a goose so that it
could be tied in place. in the
artery. He found that the blood
rose in the tube to the height of
about nine feet six inches. The
pressure in the vein-the jugular-
was a foot.
These observations established
certain fundamental facts in ply
siology. The pressure is high in
the arteries because they are di-
rectly under the impact of the
hearts contraction, low in the We
nous-return circulation.
