Apologies

In a special news despatch from New Haven last Friday, the Waterbury Democrat reported that the tate Eugene Gibson Mar tin, whose death was .the basis of a SlO,OO0 civil action against the government by his sister, Miss Mary Martin of this city as ad- ministratrix, had worked every day after his discharge from the army in 1919, until his death, in 1923.
 Information was offered today to the effect that this was er- roneous. The information stated that Martin was released from the army in June, 1919, but was un- able to work until November of that year. He did work from Mo- vember, 1919. to October, 1920. At that time his health made 1t necessary for him to cease activi- ties. He died January 13, 1923.
 Judge Carol c. Hincks dis missed the action, which was heard in United States district court.

Louisburg, July 26-Tn a letter aid
dressed to the ministerial leadership
Of the North Carolina Methodist Dis
trict of which he is Presiding Elder,
Rev. w. A. Cade, of Wilmington,
gives seven reasons why he believes
Louisburg College should be success
full in it's effort to raise 100000 to
keep it's doors open.
Rev. Cade, along with the, other si1s
Presiding Elders IN the N. C. Con
ference, is taking an active part in the
finance campaign Of the Louisburg
institution. He is also a member Of
the Board of Trustees of the College.
Calling on all Methodist in Eastern
and Central North Carolina to. come
to the aid of Louisburg College, he
gives as his reasons: first, it is the
only educational institution owned by
the N. G. Conference; second, the
great mass of boys and girls in this
part of the State must depend on in
situations with low rates and self-help
opportunities; third, it is an old in
stituion, rich in hisory and tradition;
fourth, it has plant that would cost
over half million dollars to repro
duce; fifth, it is going to pay $780,

Public health has been defined as
the. art and science of preventing dis
eases, prolonging human life and pro-
noting physical and mental efficiency,
through organized community effort.
Think that over and see how really
true it is-then compare the benefits
enjoyed by counties with full-time or
ganized health departments with
those not having these privileges at
their command.
Through proper cooperation with
the medical profession, welfare and
civic organizations, as well as other
governmental and community agen-
cies, these ideals are realized"
How Counties Are Assisted
Collaborating with DR.. Reynolds, in
presenting the benefits referred to. in
connection with organized health units
DR.. Fox Said:
'"The State Board of Health has at
it's disposal funds for helping all the
counties of the State to establish full
time local health service, provided
these counties are willing to make an
adequate appropriation of local funds
to match State and Federal funds for
carrying on such services. When in
quiries in regard to. this matter come
to the State Board of Health, infor-
nation pertaining to how this coope-
rative undertaking can be establish
ed is given and when requested by in
terested groups or officials, represen-
tatives of the State Board of Health
appear before such bodies for the pur-
pose of explaining i'll detail the ways
and means of providing health ser
vice to the citizens of county, or
group Of counties, as the case may be-
TN counties having small popula-
lions and low assessed valuations it
has been found expedient to develop
district health departments embrac-
ing two or more adjacent counties.
There is no reason. why every
county in the State of North Carolina
may not be able. to have some type of
full-time health service, provided they
are willing to make reasonable local
contribution either toward an individ-
ual county health unit or by joining
with neighboring counties in estab-
fishing district health SERVICE" DR..
Fox declared.

Local health organization also con-
ducts archaeological Investigations
and institutes adequate, intelligent
and effectivemeasure or the proven
ton of the spread of communicable
Diseases" DR.. Reynolds continued, in
his explanation of the benefits now be-
ing enjoyed by counties having organ
lied public health work. ~
"Public health nurses on the staffs
of the local departments visit the
homes of children who are absent
from school because of communicable
diseases and in whom physical de-
fects may be found, take such steps
as may be necessary to prevent the
spread of disease and encourage the
correction of physical defects.
Service to Expectant Mothers
Nurses also make visits to the
homes of expectant mothers, in pre-
natal care, encouraging physical exa-
limitations and securing the services of
regular licensed physicians for the
period of confinement.
<"Permeating this whole program"
DR.. Reynolds declared" is the idea OF
public health education, carried on
by organized health service, in the
form of both. mass and individual in
struction. In fact, health education
and the prevention of disease consti-
tute the basis of organized health
work. The local departments are not
intended as corrective agencies, for
these functions can best be perform

cine.
