BEER AND TEEN-AGERs

elizabeth City Independent-Star)
Rumors have come to this news
paper that some dispensers of beer
in the city are selling beer to teen
age boys. One man was especially
vehement and promised, if sue
cessful in apprehending any per-
son selling beer to an ,under-age
boy or girl to see that the full
penalty of the law is brought to
bear on the holder of the beer Ii
cense.
The laws of the state prohibit
the selling of alcoholic drinks to
persons under 81 years old, but
some dispensers draw no lines so
long as the price of the beer is
plunked down on the counter or
the table. They get around their
unlawful acts by saying they are
no judges of age, and that they
can't make a habit of asking their
customers how old they are before
making a sale.
This is a very poor excuse. In
Elizabeth City practically every
boy and girl are known, by favor,
if not by name, by the inn-keepers.
1t is also very easy to ask a boy
or girl their age if there is any
doubt in the mind Of the dispenser
of the suds.
A man who sells intoxicating
beverages to a teen age girl or
boy, even though he may hold a
license to lawfully sell the bev-
erage, is no better than the boot
logger who turks in dark places
dispensing his ware to all who will
buy them. The selling of alcoholic
drinks to a teen-ager is, in fact,
bootlegging, because the law for
bids it.
Some boys and girls think it is
smart to drink. They are emulat-
ing their elders and it makes them
feel grown-up to have the smell
of alcohol on their breath and the
feel of it coursing through their
veins. =
There should be a law compel
ling the operator of every beer
tavern, or place that sells wine
and beer, to have posted in their
places of business pictures of
DRINKS in all their responsiveness,
thereby warning old and young
alike what excess use of alcohol
will do to a person.
AS to the selling of alcoholic
beverages to teen-agers, Chief of
Police w. C. Owens or Bill Chaplin
would be glad to hear of specific
cases, we imagine.

MORE TALK
dunn Dispatch) :

Of course the fact that President
Truman has at last declared he
will not run brings up more
talk
But we congratulate Mr.. Truman
on deciding that he has been in the
White House long enough.
We feel that he is right, We do
not feel that any man should try
to perpetuate himself in office for
too long time and we believe that
Mr.. Truman has done the job he
set out to do and that he should
let somebody else take over.
We also believe that Mr.. Tru-
man did the best job he could and
that he is honest.
We feel that the dishonesty in
the administration came from
those around him.
1t was simply that he, apparent
ly, has been no Judge of men in
bringing together a group in
Washington that have taken adj
vantage of Mr.. Truman.
We can't help, in a way, being
sympathetic with the President of
the United States, no matter who
he is. It's a tough job and one
that takes a great deal out of a
man. H,
When Mr.. Truman entered the
White House he was comparatively
a young man. Now his hair is as
white as snow. ~
The same thing happened to Mr..
Roosevelt though he stayed few
years too long.
One guesses that Mrs. Truman
probably had as much to do with
the Presidents decision as anyone.
We are glad the President has
decided. We believe it is the right
decision. ss' ~
We salute Mr.. Truman for try
ing his best while in office.

MR.. TRUMAN BOWS OUT
NASHVILLE, N. C. Graphic)


We think President Truman rem
dered the Democratic Party and
the nation a distinct service with
his announcement that he would
not seek reelection as president.
Only history may say whether
he has been a national leader of
great or small stature. But for the
present, plainly, a great many
folks are pleased with his decision
and we are among them.
Probably Mr.. Truman was sin
cere when he said, Il have served
my country long and, I believe,
honestly" But the record shows
that he never gave the solid South
the same recognition or considera-
ton which he accorded other sec
tons Of the nation.
At any rate, the way Is now
clear for the nomination of q

SLIGHT POLITICAL
ACTIVITY IN HYDE

The Hyde County political front
appears relatively quiet. First in
the field was Representative Rus
sell A. Swindell, whose campaign
promises to be entirely without
opposition. Mr.. Swindell's winning
personality and his capacity for
making friends appears to have
made him solid with the Hyde
County voters, and no one believes
now that at this late date, any
other candidate would make head
way in the field.
The only contest so far has de-
veloped for the office of Clerk of
the Court. The incumbent, Melvin
Swindell is opposed by former
Clerk, w. l. Cochran. This race
promises some interest because of
the wide circle of friends of both
men.
The three members of the Board
of Commissioners are expected to
file again this year, according to
well-founded reports. The Board
of Education is another matter,
since Hyde, like most all other
counties has so many vexing prob
lens in connection with the new
school programs now going into
effect. 1t may be difficult to find
men willing to get mixed up in
these problems.
Time for filing expires April
10, so it now appears there will be
very little excitement in the politi-
cal fields in Hyde this year.

PUBLIC HEALTH
SINCE 1877
By Mrs. Ada S. Bragg. Route 1,
Pinetown, N. C.

In recent N. C. Health Bulletin
there is an article telling about
the progress of Public Health in
North Carolina.
The Board was created in 1877.
The first publication ever issued
by the State Board of Health was
callel Timely Aid for the Drown
ed and Suffocated." That was in
1873.
In 1879 the Legislature recon-
stituted the Board of Health con-
sisting of nine members, six APP
pointed by the Governor and three
elected by the State Medical So
ciety.
DIR. Thomas F. Wood of Will
mington was the first secretary
and DR.. S. S. Satchwell the first
president. DIR. Satchwell's home
was on Pungo Creek near Yeates-
vile. l don't think there are more
than a dozen living in Beaufort
County who have ever heard of
DIR. S. S. Satchwell.
The annual appropriation of
5000 was made for four education
al pamphlets, but in 1885 the ap-
preparation was $4,000.
The condition of health was very
low. Diphtheria and smallpox
couldn't very we'll be quarantined.
Vaccination was almost unknown.
People didn't believe in it and
couldn't be compelled to take it.
Our grave yards were filled. /
visited a cemetery once and found
five little graves on one family
plot with dates showing the deaths
all were within ten days apart and
was told that they were graves of
diphtheria victims and that only
one child in the family lived.
Just after the War Between the
States, my father came to Yeates-
vile, since at that time there was
no available conveyance except a
mule and cart and the road was so
rough that he rode the horse. He
came to get DR.. Bob Eborn to go
see Uncle Major" a very sick col
ored man. DR.. Eborn had been call
ed to another patient but fixed
two calomel capsules and put them
in tiny paste board box on which
was written, "Take one tonight and
follow by oil or Salts" and said
tell Uncle Major that he would
come soon as he could. Next morn
ing when the doctor came he ask
ed him how the medicine acted and
was told, 81 don't expect the lid is
off the box yet" A double dose
and yet Uncle Major lived.
In the early history attention
was called to the welfare of school
children. Most schools in the coun-
try at that time were of one
teacher size, of frame and log
construction and none of them had
any method of disposing of human
waste.
The first mention of vital sta
tistics was in 1881. This law was
not effective - counting didn't
cause a cure.

(ZebulOn Record

Il shall not be a candidate for

Truman told 5000 Democrats at
the annual Jefferson-Jackson Day
Dinner in Washington's National
Guard Armory; and that startling
simple statement presented the

problem to be solved if the Repub-
lican Party and the confused
PHILOSOPHERS it embraces is to be
kept from the helm Of our national
government. A resembling chorus

echoed over the nation. during the

The problem facing the Demo-

and (2) to unity the Democratic

COLINGTON MAN BLOWS OFF
ABOUT THE wild LIFERS'

To the Editor:
have been reading from time
to time in the last few years of the
wonderful things the wild-life SER
vice has been doing to protect the
wild-fowl and sportsfishing in this
/ state and throughout the country,
and I think it is time we have a
look at the other side of the pic
ture.
] want to make it plain that l
think it was intended for a good
purpose, but the way it is carried
out sometimes is a disgrace to this
section of the state. Take the game
refuge down the blackwell, you
hear now and then what wonder
full thing that is, but you don't
hear much of the other side of the
story. Every year in the fall and
during the hunting season, they
haul hundreds of bushels of feed
, and throw it out down there for
the fowl to eat. When the season
is out, they stop feeding them. Of
course, the fowl keep staying look
ing for more feed until they get
so poor they starve to death. /,
myself, have rode that beach sew
eral times and have seen hundreds
of geese so poor and weak they
couldn't hardly get out of the road
so car could get by without rum
ming over them. l have heard at
least a hundred more people say
the same thing, including many
from right in that section where
the refuge is located. There prob
ably are ten times more that die
of starvation on that beach than
are killed in this county during the
year. Is that the way to help in
crease fowl or not?
Next. Just what kind of men do
we have to enforce the game laws
in this section? Well, if you are
good friend of them, you are all
right; but if you are not, you stand
poor showing of getting a fair
deal from them. Just what kind Of
men are they anyhow? Take one
for instance who has been making
his home here for several years,
and has never bought North Caro-
lima state license for his carts
still using out of state license. He
has been a big shot in the wild
life service for several years. But
if lifelong native in this county
goes out and kills him duck or a
goose for his hungry family, they
are ready to put him in Jail and
throw away the key. Now some of
the others, two in particular that
l know, where were they during
World War II? They were nothing
but a couple of draft-dodgers,
while this country was fighting for
its very life.
Now take the big shot of them,
few miles from here. have talk
ed to several people who live near
him, including one of his own
cousins, and they said they didn't
think enough of him to bury him
if he died. So that is the kind of
men we have got to tell US what
we can do and what we cannot do!
