Mur PROTECTING LOCAL HEALTH "No health department. ?tate or local, can effectively prevent or control diseases without knowledge of when, where and under w hat conditions cases a;<e occuring*\ was the statement which headed a bulletin sent out by the state board of health (division of epidemiology i >ome time ago. V\ hen a person becomes sick with a communicable disease he owes it to his neighbors and fellowmen to keep himself confined so that others may not catch it. In some instances parents are at fault in that they allow their children to continue going to school and mixi ing with other children w hen thev have whooping cough i ??r some other disease that the others might catch. We should take it upon ourselves as individuals to report aH rases to the county doctor. Dr. J. V Hill, that proper steps might be taken to confine the patient or quarpntine him a* the officer sees fit and the rules demand. following is a li-t of importable diseases: anthrax, bubonic plague, chicken pox. cholera ' Xsiaticl. diphtheria. haceillar\ disentary. endemic typhus.

A ' (,()()/) IT ILL" MOTORCADE Murphy will extend its official greetings Saturday to more than 200 people from Chattanooga who will pass through here enroute to Asheville. Hie motoicade i- being sponsored by the Chattanooga Automobile club, an organization from that city which annually sponsor- similar trips in the interest <>i havmz belter highway facilities leading into their city. ' That this gioup should choose Murphv as their dining center on this trip is significant. Mr. \\ . A. Williams, a director of the club, who ha? pa-.-ed through here several times the jnst vv *ek j null ing a: rangtments for the trip paid Murphv and its I ? nizens many high compliments and assured us that Mf:frphy was one of the most delightful towns they would pass through on the trip. Plans for a large reception at the state line are undez way and we should make the occasion as impressive j as is possiple by having a large number of folks from this counlv out at the Tennessee-North Carolina line to greet them. After all Murphy will lienefit diiectly in the accomplishments of the Tennesseeans trip as their journey is in the interest of having 35 miles of highway, between the state line and Cleveland, Tenn.. paved in the near future. Naturally more traffic will come over that road as the barreness of the Copper basin and the surrounding mountain beauty will attract many tourists who would not ca e to ride over the road now considering the condition I is in. There will be many distinguished visitors in the motorcade and we should feel proud to have them here. No ddirbt they will not soon forget our hospitalitv and , congeniality. Included in the party will !>e the Elks cluh junior band, an organization of 50 instruments and one of the best known in the south, that will plav a half-hour concert for us in Murphy. Right now we of this section have two things to particularly look forward to. One is the building of the TVA dam, which we feel sure will come, and the other i:. the upbuilding of Murphy as a "hub", a thriving center of vie converging main highways drawing traffic I through here from evei y section of the country.

The move on the part of the womans club is a good one. We -diould all help the best we can and endeavor to keep the town comparatively free of needless and unsightly places. LOir PRICES FOR CATTLE Inasmuch as Cherokee county's prime means of subsistancc lies in its agricultural and cattle raising interests, an article printed in the Asheville Citizen some time ago sluTuld have particular bearing and offer a suggestion to our farmers that might not have occured to them. Following is the article: iiALLiotl, April 14.?iNorth Carolina farmers have J?cen selling their beef callle and hogs in lecent months for prices below market quotations, declares L. I. Case, animal husbandman at State College. Beef prices have risen around 00 per cent and poik prices have approximately doubled during the past year, but the prices paid local farmers for cattle and pork have not risen equivalentlv. Returning from a recent trip over the State, Mr. Case said indications were that a number of farmers I have sold at low prices because they had not learned of the prevailing rates on national markets. The weekly average price of all steers on the Chicago inatket was $7.15 the first week in December and #10 .57 the last week in February. Choice grades rose from ?9.29 to $13.39 and low. or common, grade rose from $3.72 to $4.50 Inteimediate grades increased propoitionately St acker and feeder prices have risen correspondently. Eai ly in December the prices ranged from 82.50 to $5.50; in January they were up to a 85-89 range. Good slaughter cows advanced from 85.25 to $9.50. Although North Carolina farmers need not expect identical psices for their cattle at the farm. Case pointed out, they should at least keep posted on current meat prices and not sell for only a third or a fourth of the price they should receive. Th en rent outlook points to a continuation of the j phy, N. C. ' Ilets turn back his Wxx-i'-KHW-x-K-i-x-i-x-:-^ : 10 YEARS AGO | Pand Mrs. R. S. Parker and Mr. I and Mrs. F. L.
