During ti e past two weeks Dr. W. P*. Chapin has been bus / vaccinating people man 1 around >, t»> | *e \cnt a pre' a-orce of typhoid fever. All othe*’ •v inty doctor nave also been engarivl in the same work to save Chatham county the peril of ill ness. The state of North Carolina made provision for this work with the aid of the counties involved, and it was given to the people absolute ly free. * This is a big undertaking and is done with only one purpose in view and that is to minimize sickness among the people. After all this ex pense and consideration, it certainly behooves the folks to make every ef fort to lessen sickness in the family and that of the neighbor. To be perfectly healthy and run no risk, all rubbish and decaying matter should be removed from the premises. In the rural sections folks usually keep the yards and premises in gen- * eral in a clean, sanitary manner but folks in the towns neglect a very im portant duty in this particular. In Pittsboro dogs have been seen dragging beef heads around, dead chickens and tin cans falf filled with water. It may be an oversight on the part of.someone; the town may have neglected to pass ordinances covering j it, but however may the case be some ! thing should be done to enforce sani- j tation in all the towns in the county, j If all the yards and streets were kept half as cleanly as the people in the country keep their premises, it would indeed be a healthy county. Let everyone resolve to begin now, today, to keep, clean premises and avoid a calamity of sickness that is sure to follow filth or neglect to re move trash and obnoxious dirt. A DUTY WE REGRET. Camera man in our office last week and said: “Shaw, I wish you would say something more in your paper about folks borrowing The Record from your subscribers.” “What’s wrong now?” we asked. “Well, we have some mighty good neighbors and we hate to tell them that we don’t want to let them have • the paper, but often times they bor row it from my wife before I have i seen it and I often do not get to read it. You are printing the best paper i Chatham county ever had, and I do hate to miss a copy of it.” “Shall we call your name in writing' the article?” • “No, don’t do that, we don’t want to make them mad, but they are more able to take The Record and pay for it than we are, but we manage to sac rifice and pay for the Record because we want it, and we do think that we should be allowed to read it, at least.” “Then, too,” he continued, “we like to file The Record away, because lots of times we want to refer to some ar ticle that you have in the paper, and j when that neighbor sends it back it is usually torn all to pieces. I real ly believe they give it to the baby to play with after they read it.” So here is the complaint, folks. We want everybody that can to read our paper, but we don’t want you to wor ry our subscribers about borrowing it so much. We want all the subscrib ers that we can get. In fact, we want readers, and if anyone wants The Re cord and is not able to pay f»r it, and will write us a letter so stating, we will mail it to them a year free of charge. It must be shown that you are not able to pay for it, and + he in formation will be treated as confiden tial. Everest For Governor. A change has been determined up on by the Machine and Ring politi cians and'it is now proposed to de pose McLean as a candidate for gov ernor and to run Everett of Rocking ham. - Mr. Everett has not decided as to what he will do, but he will do the State an honor to make the racp and the party will be in a safer zone un der his candidacy and The Record looks forward for the change. The reason there is so much law-1 lessness is because there are so many laws. Some women had rather die than; live in a town with small town people. But then she might move to a city and have to meet many small town people. There is a great deal of bunk in the howl about the menace of illiter acy in our country. It is being shown up that it has been exaggerated to make thousands of jobs for so-called Americanization experts. It has been over-worked and there is a reaction due. The American relief association has shipped into Russia from the United States since August 2if 1921 to -March 26, 1923. 912.121 tons of re - visions. And today Russia is selling her wheat. During the world war it was said people of China were starv ing to death but that d’d rot stop the starving Chinese from shipping mil lions of eggs to th s country. Not only has all these tons of provisions been sent to Russia but the people of this country sent 866.360,000 in good money there. “Spend $5 a month and save a child” was a very good motto for some people to use.

FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY. Statesville Daily. Remarking that the failure of com paratively small banks at High Point, Thomasville and Raleigh follow ed by prsoecutions and that at least one man has gone to the State prison, the Greensboro News is moved to won der if there will be a “different atti tude on the part of the minions of -the law, now that two great banks, belonging to two potentates of the De mocratic party, have crashed, ruining innumerable innocent depositors in their fall,” The News seems to as sume that the political influence of Lieut. Gov. Cooper and the Democrat ic State chairman, Mr. Norwood, will render them immune from danger of prosecution even if ground exists for , prosecution. That one of standing, prominence and influence, or one who can command the help of the influen tial, may fracture the law with com parative safety must be admitted. At least that is so in North Carolina and there is no reason to believe that our State is different from others. But seeing that the Cooper bank and the Norwood bank are national banks and that prosecution must come through the Federal courts, there would seem to be no good reason why Republican District Attorneys Linney and Tucker should not go the limit. Certainly they need not have political scruples about prosecuting Democrat ic politicians, unless there is a sort of reciprocity agreement among poli ticians. Back to Old Haunts. Last Friday we received a message from Dr. H. A. Denson, who is so journing in Indianapolis, Ind. The doc : tor says that “he is reviewing the grounds of my training; hope all is j well at home; will send you a few notes as soon as our dining, driving, I hand-shaking, etc., is over.” We will be glad to hear from the doctor at any time and we are glad that he and his good lady are having a pleasant trip. RECIPE FOR PRESERVING KIDS. Harnett County News. A recent health bulletin says: “Take one large grassy field, one half dozen children, two or three small dogs, a pinch of. brook and some peb bles. Mix the children and dogs well together and put them in the field, stirring constantly. Pour the brook ov er the pebbles; sprinkle the field with flowers; spread over all a deep, blue sky and bake in the sun. When brown remove and set to cool in a bathtub.” It will be observed that this recipe is applicable only when the “fruit” is quite young and tender. Later, when the rinds become quite tough, a wee bit of honest toil would prove a good preservative, always avoiding the use of steering wheels in the mixture un less the specimens are over eighteen years of age. If the “fruit” begins to show signs of souring, free use of tea brewed from the boughs of peach or hickory trees makes a wonderful sweetener. The older “fruit” keeps better if put up in overalls.

Claims Convicts Do Not Like Pajamas. The recommendation of the Guilford; county board of public welfare that pajamas be given convicts to sleep in can hardly be carried out, county commissioners today informed the welfare board, because there are not sufficient guards. It took two guards to every con vict in a “man to man” straggle to make the convicts don bath robes for sleeping purposes, Captain J. Giles Foushee, county commissioner in charge of convicts, stated today. And then when the guards got out the sleeping quarters the convicts hastily discarded the strange gear. Two hundred bath robes were purchased for the convicts, so they could give their clothes a rest, but force of the most drastic kind was necessary before the convicts would don them. They would have none of such. yf # ■■ / V I jj%a) jj yix XM II The Standard of Comparison Enjoy Every Summer Day with a Buick Sport Gar Care-free vacation time has a perfect companion in the Buick Sport Touring car.
