ARE YOU PROMOTING SAN
ITATION IN YOUR TOWN
If we desire the most attractive
spot in which to live, we each hour
must do our part toward making this
particular spot clean, for cleanliness
tends to healthfullness—to beauty
and attractiveness. Cleanliness is in
deed a virtue that should be applied
unreservedly and the laws of sanita
tion cannot be too strictly observed
by the individual.
All of us want our town tc appear
well to the stranger passing through,
but much more do we want it to be
clean and free of things that not only
make it ugly and unattractive to our
selves but a menace to our health as
well. In making our own homes,
yards and the premises about us
clean, we have made the first step
toward a clean town.
Many of us, who no doubt are
splendid housekeepers, thoughtlessly
sweep paper from our doors, and
throw tin cans into the yard; and
then we are careless about the weeds
on our place especially in the back
yards and let the mget the best of
us. Os course, we know these things
are unsightly, and that tin cans, if
allowed to lie around, will be filled
with stagnant water thus making the
finest sort of breeding places for
mosquitos and flies. We should have
trash boxes and garbage cans con
veniently placed and see that all
such refuse is carefully collected and
put in these so that they may be re
moved by the town scavenger.
In the business section the mer
chants and business men should col
lect the boxes and paper and other
trash swept from their stores and
place it in the receptacles on the
street. The grocer should, by all
means, have garbage pails for de
cayed vegetables and meats and
water thrown out from pickels and
fish barrels, and he should see that
these pails are removed before they
have become offensive to the public.
In the future let us each do a lit
tle better than we have in the past,
so that we may have our town as
nearly clean as possible from the
standpoint of sanitation.
GETTING READY FOR
CHRISTMAS SEALS
“Mr. O. Max Gardner has accept
ed the State Chairmanship of the
1925 Tuberculois Christmas Seal
Sale.’’ This announcement has re
cently come from the offices of the
North Carolina Tuberculosis Associ
ation, of which Dr. L. B. Mcßrayer
s Managing Director.
Plans for the sale of Seals in De
cember are already taking definite
form under the direction of Mr. Gar
dner, who will conduct the work from
the Association offices in Southei-n
| Pines. Dr. Mcßrayer and Mr. Gard
ner are now at work securing local
charmen, organizing county tubercu
losis associations, and getting things
in shape for the mail sale. Dr. Mc-
Brayer states that an entirely new
idea has been devised for conducting
the mail sale this year, and the list
will number not more than fifteen
thousand, whereas last year letters
were sent to something like fifty
five thousand people in North Caro
lina.

THE ZEBULON RECORD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18,1925
WILL HATCH BABY
CHICKENS IN STATE
The State Department of Agricul
ture, through its Division of markets,
is launching a compaign to provide
North Carolina with millions of baby
chickens annually from certified
hatcheries inside the state. “Liter
ally millions of baby chicks are pur
chased in North Carolina every year,
and the majority of these are ship
ped in from the outside,” said Geo.
R. Ross, chief of the Division of
Markets. “In order to correct this,
North Carolina is going to put itself
squarely behind the hen.”
Mr. Ross then told of the plan of
Inspection and certification that will
be put into operation through the
Division of Markets. He reported
that the Division already had appli
cations on file representing more
than 12,000 birds. These, said James
P. Kerr, accredited flock and hatch
ery inspector, who will go out into
the field for the division, should be
the mothers of millions of baby
chicks. “The average healthy hen,”
he continued, “should lay 150 eggs a
year. Therefore, 12,000 should lay
1,800,000 eggs wdthin the next year.
If two-thirds of these eggs should
hatch that would be 1,200,000 baby
chicks within the next year from
the 12,000 prospective mothers we
have requests to inspect. Os course,
they will not all measure up, but
many of them will. We intend to
make this inspection work thorough.
North Carolina should furnish its
own baby chicks and stop sending to
other states for them.”
All birds that pass inspection will
be listed and tagged with metal tags
furnished by the Department of Ag
riculture. These tags will be sealed.
WESTERN STATE HONORS
MR. R. C. RAMSAY
At the largest convention ever held
by the Washington State Good Roads
Association, Claude C. Ramsey, of
Seattle, w 7 as unanimously elected pres
ident in recognnition of long and
faithful service in building the State’s
splendid system of highways. The
convention was held at Hoquiam.
Wash.
Mr. Ramsay, a native of North Car
olina, represented a Seattle district in
the State Legislature of 1907 and
1908, and then introduced and secured
passage of the first b : lls committing
the State to a policy of building mod
ern roads. Since then, including a
six-year period as chairman of the
board of commissioners of King coun
ty, largest county in the State, Mr.
Ramsey has been foremost among
public spirited citizens as fostering
good roads. Largely as a result of
his efforts the State now has thou
sands of miles of cement highways,
paid for with revenues from motor
vehicle license fees and gasoline taxes
and for several years without any
State levy on real property.
Ramsey has also won public esteem
by relieving the taxpayers of the cost
of ferry transportation in and around
Seattle, in numerous war-time activi
ties, and in securing for the Federal
government what is said to be the
finest aviation field in the west at
Sandpoint near Seattle.
HARD COAL TO BE PRODUCED
A dispatch from Indianapolis, says:
The agreement between the United
Mine Workers and the anthracite
coal operators having expired at mid
night August 31, and the operators
refusing to negotiate a new contract,
officials at the international head
quarters of the miners have prepared
to carry out the mandate of the
rank and file and suspend operations J
until a new wage pact has been con
summated.
An official notice of the suspension j
has been sent out to all locals in the j
districts affected—Nos. 1,7, and 9. !
•
The notice said that the anthracite
scale committee would endeavor to |
keep the members informed of the I
progress of events and would attempt 1
to bring about an agreement “which
will mean substantial progress for,
the anthracite miners.”
Officials of the international union
are still held at Philadelphia, and
from information at headquarters
there the temporary headquarters
will be maintained. Not a
pound of coal is being produced in
the hard coal fields and not a pound
will be produced until a new wage
scale is accepted and signed, the of
ficials say.
The suspension s expected to be
reflected in a better business in the
soft coal fields. Inasmuch as the
Jacksonville agreement has almost
two years to run, no suspension of
work in the soft coal areas is ex
pected. Reports show that mines in
the organized districts are opening
up for work slowly, and conditions
are better now than they have been
for some time.
Loafing is hard work. Very few
people have made a success with it. ‘
STATE SHELL
I FISH TO BE
PROTECTED
Commission of Ex
perts Appointed to
Make Inspection
In furtherance of his declared pur
pose to everything possible for the
promotion of the fishing and oyster
industries on the Atlantic coast,
Governor A. W. McLean has appoint
ed a commission of experts to in
spect the shell fish industry to fore
stall any complaints against contam
ination during the coming season.
The Governor’s office has issued
the following statement on the sub
ject:
“National and State public health
agencies are taking active steps to
avoid, during the coming season for
shell fish, complaints of contamina
j tion of sources of supply which for
| a while last season created something
iof a sensation and worked some
I harm to the industry in other states.
“While there was no complaint as
j to North Carolina sea products, Gov
! ernor McLean feels that the effort
jto renew and build up the State’s
oyster and shell fish industry should
I not be left open to any possibility
jof unwarrented attack. He has
; therefore taken steps to assure a
I survey of all North Carolina waters
| with a view of ascertaining the scien
| tific facts as to the conditions under
j which the State’s shell fish are
| grown, w r ith the idea of ascertaining
I the conditions from the health stand
! point and of taking steps to prevent
1 in the future the arising of unsani
tary conditions.
“As a result a preliminary trip of
inspection of North aCrolina waters
| is soon to be undertaken by the State
Health Department, represented by
[ its engineer, H. E. Miller; the North
| Carolina Department of Conservation
! and Development, represented by
| Jasper L. Stucky, Acting Director;
the North aCrolina Fishing Commis
sion, represented by Capt. J. A. Nel
son, and the United States Public
Health Service, represented by Dr.
Clifford Waller, who will be accom
panied by an expert assistant who
will take samples of the waters vis
ited for bacterioligical examination.
“It is hoped that later there may
be made a more extensive survey of
all North Carolina waters and a
more or less comprehensive report
| upon their qualities for the growing
I>{ shell-fish. It was emphasized at
the Governor’s office that the begin
ning of this investigation was rather
:o assure against a danger that
might occur in the future by reasn
i o contamination of waters than to
j correct a present peril. There have
I >een no such complaints of contam
inated shell fish from North Carolina
sources as to make such a fear neg
ligable so far, it was explained; but
rouble in other States has made it
;eem wise to do everything possible
in North Carolina in the way of
prevention.”
