Owners Wreck Famous Saucer The Charlotte Speedway, from whose boards echoed the mighty roar from powerful racing automobiles ah they swept like tiny streaks around the track in times past will soon be >nly a memory. Famous the nation over from asr sociation with such idols of the "roaring road" as Tommy Milton, Leon Ouray, the late Frank Lockhart, Karl Cooper and many others the old saucer is being dismantled for the good timber and steel it contains. Announcement of its doom was made yesterday by Ue A. Folger, member of a group of threu Churlotto men who purchased the property less than two years. The recent death of C. C. Coddirtgton left but two of the original group which also include B. O. Heath, another well-known figure in the automotive world. The fanious structure, once gazed upon by thousands of racing fans from all over the country, now presents an almost ghost-like appearance as it stands forlorn and deserted and ab.out to be forgotten. The stout timbers that once proudly sup* ported the cars of DePaolo and McDonough and Comer and others as they raced for supremacy now makes queer and lonely whistling sounds as the winds sweep through them. The lumber and steel salvaged from the structure, Mr. Folger said, will be sold off the site. The work of dismantling will move forward as rapidly as the material is sold. Tho timber will be graded and stacked, ready for delivery when it is purchased. A. M. Griffin of Baltimore, Md., representing a salvaging "firm, is in charge of the dismantling process. He estimates that some ten months will be required to take away the entire structure. The speedway, which cost in the neighborhood of $380,000 when erected, contains more than five and one. half--million "feet of lumber. A great portion of this timber, according to information, is in good condition.? Charlotte Observer. < Two York Homes Burned To Ground York, S. C., March 7.?'Damage estimated at approximately $18,000 was done by fire which at noon today-destroyed the homes of Harvey E. Ferguson and Miss Margaret McCorkle, on King's Mountain street here. Only the hardest kind of work on the part of the fire department prevented several other residences being burned. The flames, fanned by high March winds, had gained great headway in the second story of the Fergusbn home, where the blaze started, before they were discovered. Mrs. Ferguson, at the risk of her life, made her way up a blazing stairway and saved her own small daughter, Namoi, and Tommy Ferguson, two, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Ferguson, who live next door, and Marion Hartness, five. She carried the three children down the stairway.

Ydur family physician, if you-Vish, I or your County Health Officer. In counties not having health officers the county nurse or the State field nurse assigned to your section of the State will help interested communities to arrange for clinics where a number of children can be treated at one time. The ergtanization of such a clinic by a local group, such as the Parent-Teacher Association or the County Council of Farm Women, would be an undertaking well worth while. Where can we get toxin-antitoxin ? If your family physfcian gives the treatments lie will order the mixture for you either through a drug store in your community, your County "Hep ,1th Officer, or your State. Board of fehUh'. The fund appropriated by tTie General Assembly allows the State Board of Health to distribute free antitoxin but, does not provide for free toxin-antitoxin. ^ Arrangements have been made, ' however, with a manufacturing company to* supply our . citizens with toxin-antitoxin, through the State Board of Health, at very reasonable pftcea.

L ^ ^ 0 ?j? What will thfcbe. treatments cost? The State Board of Health has obtained permission from the Federal Government to use a small part of the money appropriated under^ the Sheppard-Towner Acjt to buy toxinantitoxin for the immunization of children under seven years of age. If your children are under seven you can get the mixture free and the only cost to you will be what your doctor charges to administer it. There is no charge for giving it at clinics. The period during which toxin-antitoxin may be obtained free will end J una 20, 1929. For children seven years old and over toxin-anttloxin may be procured through the State Board of Health at the following prices: Large package containing enough t^ immunize eight or nine children, three inoculations each $1.25, Individual package containing I enough for~OTO vcbiLd, three inocula-1 tions, 40 cents. 0 If given in clinics to groups of eight or nine the large package can t be used to advantage. This package is supposed to treat ten children but owing to unavoidable waste it has been found that only eight, as a rule, can be immunized from it. This makes the cost about fifteen cents per chilli (five cents for each inoculation. If your child is treated alone the individual package has to be used and the cost would be^forty cents plus your doctor's charge for administering it.
