NEGROES BEGIN
HEALTH SURVEY

The Negro staff of the N. c.
School Health Coordinating Serv.
let began work in the Negro
schools Of Wilmington April 2 with
meeting of all Negro principals
and teachers. r.
The staff is composed of a ply
sician, Or. w. J. Hughes who
serves as Director, a nurse, Eu.
genia Cardice, a health educator
Jennie L. Douglass, and nutri-
zionist, Lydia Williams.
The program will consist Vi
work in the schools and commun-
tiles of both the City and Coua-
ty. Teachers will be taught to rec
ognize deviations from the normal
in children 50 as to screen out
those children whom they think
need to be seen by the physician.
The teachers will become better
acquainted with the resources
available that might aid in the cor
rection OF physical defects. There
will be sanitary inspection made
of all of the schools. Special work
will be done in the field of nutri-
ton through lectures, demonstra-
tons, and conferences. An effort
will be made to improve the
school feeding programs. Improved
methods and materials for health
teaching will be emphasized and
special effort made to vitalize
health teaching so that health
knowledge will become a definite
part of the child's life. Projects
and activities will be suggested
that might extend from the class
room into the community as a
matter of educating the adult pop
u1ation and improving the homes
and their environment.
A special effort will be made to
work with the adult population
through organized groups such as,
home demonstration C u b S,
churches, civic organizations, in
dustries. Parent Teachers Associ-
atoms, and others.
DR.. Hughes and his staff have
done similar work in various
counties all over the state, and
their coming to New Hanover
county has been anticipated n
some time. Their work in Whining
ton will continue through May S.

Chinese To Hold Council On
 Internal Troubles

CHUNGKING, Nov. 12- P) - Chinese Communists said that they and Kai-Shek's Central Gov ernment had agreed to allow a proposed political consultative council to settle "all outstanding issues" on China's undeclared civil war. The council will be called into session about Novem- Der twenty.
 The final issue of peace or all out war, however, rests with Chiang, a Communist spokesman asserted, adding eff Chiang can cels his orders for bandit suppress sion, there can be peace" The government called China's nation al assembly to meet May fifth, with no word as to whether the Communists will be given repre- sentation they demanded.
 A top Nationalist general fore cast a major government drive into Manchuria "very soon," de- spite the crack Communist troops massed to block it.

Pictures "Buck Rogers Warfare For Future

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-(P)- General Hap Arnold advises that atomic bomb warfare, waged from interstellar space ships is within the forseeable future" The chief of the Army Air Forces gave his in third annual report this eerie picture of a conflict for which United States should be prepared.
 He said "war may descend upon United States by thousands of TO- bots passing unannounced across our shorelines, unless we act to prevent them." The way to do that is to be ready to strike at the source of attack with a strategic air force delivering "one or two atomic bombs." That should suf- flee for the job.

Especial to Nome Nugget

Especial to Nome Nugget
 The Nome Nugget today receiv- ed the following telegram from Governor Ernest Gruening:
 JUNEAU, Nov. 12-(P)-Gov- ernor Gruening received a tele- gram from Delegate Bartlett say ing that at the request of the War Shipping Administration, an Alas ka rate hearing would be started in Seattle November 27, with the hope of increasing rates, fares and charges for the Alaska service.
 It is not possible to accurately cite the data available on just how such an increase would af- feet Alaska, but I desire to state that our Territory might just as well fold up as a prOSpectively thriving and developing part of the United States if one hundred percent passenger and freight increases are imposed upon us. Indeed any increases whatsoever, would be seriously crippling.
 The steamship rates long have been, and are already excessive and higher than for any other equivalent service. They should be drastically reduced. My recollec- is that the annual freight and pas senger bill of Alaska is about eight million dollars.
 The proposal to double this, to add another eight million dollars, which would be borne largely by the consumers of Alaska, would drive the cost of living to such astronomical heights that it would be extremely difficult for people to maintain themselves here.
 It would cause such an increase in prices that corresponding in-
