Shipyard To Remain

Two announcements at the Community Chest
and War Fund campaign dinner were we'll
calculated to endeaf the North Carolina Ship
building Company TO Wilmington on an even
greater scale than in the past.
One was Storer P. Wares declaration that
the yard intends to remain here forever"
This sets at rest runners that the yard would
close when peace comes. 1t confirms the
opinion, voiced in these columns, that with
the demand for cargo carriers SO great and
the United States the only world power in
a position to turn them out there was every
good reason to think the ways just beyond
Sunset Park would be in use fer at least a
decade after hostiIities cease.
The other announcement. also made bv Mr..
Ware, was the company's gift Of 5000 to
the Community Chest, earmarked for post
war emergencies.
It was made plain tina. although the ship
yard will continue operations employees will
necessarily be fewer than at the peak. or
even at present. and that with Ieaner times
ahead the demands upon the Chest viii, prob-
ably grow heavier and haroer to meet. Hence

the Chest add to this reserve from the excess
it has collected above the budgetary require
ments of its beneficiary organizations
From the time the North Carolina Shin
building Company was organized and cut the
first cypress in the swamp It proposed to
convert into a great plant, the management
has given repeated proof OF its faith in VII
mington and its good will toward the COM
munity. Whenever money has been needed
for any good purpose, whether for the hos
pitfalls, the Red Cross the Chest or other
institution or organization, the check of the
company has always been forthcoming. Its

FOR 4 HEALTHY,
HAPPY new YEAR

How long is it since you have
gone to your doctor for a physical
check-up? If you have not had a
complete medical examination
within the last year, DR.. R. H.
Riley, director of the State De-
partment of Health, has a message
for you.
Everybody, old, young and mid
dle-aged, should have a thorough
physical examination at least once
a year." DR.. Riley reminds the
public. This is especially i'm
portant now when nobody knows
what demands this new year may
max" upon health and strength.
"The first month of 1943 is an
excellent time to take an inventory
If our body's assets and it's liza
oil es. If you have not done it
recently, have thorough check
up early in January.
EARLY discovery for an early
recovery should be everybody's
motto" DR.. Riley continues. "By
going to yuor doctor for an annual
examination, even though you may
feel well, you give him a chance to
discover the early stages of certain
serious diseases before they have
made great advances. Many dis
eases can progress far before the
patient feels pain or other symp-
toms.
"Tuberculosis, cancer, diabetes
and nephritis are among the dis
eases thta can be controlled bet
ter and reduced in severity when
discovered in their early stages. A
delay of six months or year be-
fore these diseases are diagnosed
may mean the difference between
prolonged life and an early death.
If there is any constitutional weak
ness or unfavorable condition, like
incipient heart disease, early dis
cOvery and treatment combined
with the curtailment of injurious
activity can alleviate symptoms
or even prevent their appearance
and lengthen life.
IF the examining physician
does discover the first indications
of some disease, follow his advice
and heed his warning. Many per-
sons live long, usefully and happily
with serious chronic diseases, be-
cause they know their disease and
how to live with it. They have
adapted their habits, diet and ac-
tivities to their weakness, thus re-
moving unnecessary strain from
the affected parts of their bodies
