plenty of time to get to Liver

But that doctor forgot the
whims and fancies of the sea.
About 500 miles east of the St
Georges Channel the bark struck
a fun Western Ocean gale, and
a sizzler il was. Before they
could reduce sail the masts had
been ripped right out of her,
planking had sprung and she was
making water faster than the
crew could pump it out. All the
ships boats were smashed save
one, and Captain Gougher knew
his ship was sinking. He had a
crew of seventeen, which, with
his wife and himself, made nine

States Gift To
England Is Now
Nearly Assured
Old North State Campaign To
Raise Money to Buy 'Mer-
CIV Ship Going Over.

Raleigh, Oct. 29.-That the gift
of an airplane ambulance to the
people of England from citizens
of North Carolina will soon be-
come reality was indicated to-
day by Judge Frederick O. Bow
man, State Chairman of the Old
North State Fund, which has been
conducting a statewide campaign
to secure approximately $4,000
for the purchase of the gift. In a
report to Governor J. Melville
Broughton, Bowman announced
that an option on an amphibian,
twin-motored Grammar plane has
been exercised and a substantial
payment made on the purchase
price.
Faced with an acute shortage
of planes suitable for ambulance
use, officials of the Old North
State Fund have experienced diff
ficulty in locating mercy ship.
With the cooperation of the Bri-
tish-American Ambulance Corps
of New York, an option was final
ly secured on the type of plane
desired, an exact duplicate of the

Health Record
Is Established
At Fort Jackson

Fort Jackson, S. c., Oct. 81
What is believed to be something
of a record in soldier health is be-
ing established at Fort Jackson
where the rate of sickness is ex-
tremely low among the $4,000 SOL
diers stationed here.
Undergoing intensive training
at Fort Jackson are soldiers of
the 30th Infantry Division from
Tennessee, Georgia, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina, the 9th
Infantry Division with selectees
from New York, New Jersey and
Delaware as we'll as the lO2nd
Cavalry from New Jersey and the
128th Field Artillery from Mlssl-
ouri.
With a population of $4,000 SOL
diers and with additional thous-
ands of civilians engaged IN con-
struction and administrative work
at the army post, this death rate
is believed to be among the low
est of any report from any army
post in the country. OF the on
deaths during the same IA months
period, thirty were due to injuries
with q soldiers and three civil
ians being listed. Five OF the
deaths were suicides with four
soldiers and one civilian having
taken their own lives.
A total of twenty-one deaths
from natural causes are listed IN
the report, with only sixteen SOL
diers dying Of natural causes,
three civilians and three members
of the CCC being included.
A total of only 24,875 patients
have been admitted to the hospi-
tai during the fourteen months,
which in itself is a small number
as compared with the large num-
Der of soldiers quartered here,
and the fact that soldiers receive
hospital treatment for what might
be considered minor injuries and
slight ailments.
Since its designation as an ar
my post, Fort Jackson has been
free of serious epidemics and not
a single outbreak of such has oc-
100000 1ooro 5,,rino the ID months
period. This low sick rate is trl-
butte to the climate of South Caro-
lima and the continued diligence
of post medical authorities in pre-
venting disease by insuring whole
some surroundings and in render
ing prompt treatment for slight
ailments b before complications
arise.

state during early summer. "The
U. S. government has taken over
the production of principal plane
plants" states Bowman's report"
and we were quite fortunate to
find ship suitable to our needs"

North Carolina to this humanitar-
ian appeal has been most crafty
ing" Bowman informed Cover
nor Broughton, respectfully when
it is realized that we have ap-
preached close to the goal with
out aid of large contributions. 1t
has been hoped that the gift
could be made possible through
contributions from the rank and
file of citizens and the total raised
so far has come from thousands
of relatively small contributions

Local Dentist Discusses Dental
Care and Opportunities
In The Navy.

There used to be saying years
ago that went like this: "You can
tell a Navy man by the cut of his
jib." Today, according to DR.. j.
K. Hunter, local dentist, that say
ing should be revised to read:
"You can tell a Navy man by the
flash of his teeth"
"The free dental care that
young men get in the U. S. Navy
and Naval Reserve is really re-
markable," said DR.. Hunter. "Na-
Wy dental officers examine and
care for millions of teeth every
year. They are specialists in Naval
life and they do their job well.
The teeth of Navy men is proof
of that"
DR.. Hunter points out that it is
vitality important to young men
who are considering enlisting in
the Navy that their teeth be in &C
ceptable condition. More than one
young fellow eager to serve his
country has been turned down
because his teeth weren't salts
factory.
Every applicant must have a
minimum Of 20 vital, serviceable.
permanent teeth, adds DR.. Hunt
er. After a man applies for enlist
ment he undergoes a series OF
three or four examinations by
dental officers to make sure he
will satisfy requirements.
There is a fine opportunity to
study a chosen trade or vocation
in the, Navy, according to DR.
Hunter. "The Navy schools for
dental technicians rank among
the finest in the country" he said
"a young man who has his heart
set on dentistry and who is pa
triotic enough to want to do his
bit can do both if he joins the U.
S. Navy and proves he has the
ability and determination. IT he
passes certain tests and studies
hard, he may become a dental
technician. His job then would be
to help the Navy dental officers
in their work. Such a job not
only pays well but lays an excel
lent groundwork for future ca
reer in dentistry in later civilian
life. And, of course, there are
some fifty other trades or voca-
tons a patriotic and ambitious
young fellow can study if he
makes the most of the opportun1-
ties offered by Uncle Sans new
