PAGE TWO THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN THURSDAY, JUNE 24, JSS7 Health Officer Warns Against Swimming In Unprotected Streams RALEIGH, June 23.-1 r Carl V. Reynolds, state health officer for North Carolina, has issued a strong warning against 'swimming in un protected streams and ponds. He also emphasized the importance of anti-typhoid vaccination as an ef fective precaution, pointing out the significant fact that, under the system of health education and the extended use of preventive medi cine following the World War, ty phoid fever deaths in North Car olina were reduced from 915, in 1919, to 81, in 1935. "I feel I cannot too strongly warn against swimming in public streams and ponds which normally are contaminated," the health of ficer said. "These are dangerous from a standpoint of typhoid fever, diarrhea and dysentery. Many of them are' near places where raw sewerage . is being dumped into streams, making them sources of serious danger. Parents and guardians should appreciate this fact and not permit their chil dren to swim in unprotected plr ;cs. There are plenty of pools where the water is chlorinated and an alyzed daily, almost hoarly, and where children can swim in safety. "I should like to call attention to the fact that previous to the development of the chlorinated swimming pool, when young people had to avail themselves of contam inated water, typhoid fever, diar rhea and dysentery took a heavy toll in human life every year and caused many to become invalids. Since 1919, the death rate from typhoid t fever has been enormous ly reduced in fact, in North Caro lina the number of deaths has been reduced from .nearly one thousand to less than a hundred, because our people have listened "to reason arid availed themselves of the preven tive measures science has provided. ".In organized health departments, county and city, the campaign against typhoid fever, through vac cination, is constantly being carried on, but in unorganized counties no such organized protection is avail able. Beginning July 1, North Caro lina is proud to announce, we will have 65 organized counties, giving the protection to which I have just referred ' to three-fourths of our population. v "I should like to emphasize the importance of immunization against typhoid, which is a real protection against accidental infection. There is one very important and essential point to be considered, which is that the vaccination campaign should be carried on at least two months prior to swimming season, in order that immunity may fully develop in the individual having taken this precaution. Otherwise, it will do him or her very little good." Social Security Program Organization Perfected RALEIGH, June 23. What many students of public affairs believe will prove to be the most bene ficial legislation ever enacted in North Carolina-the $4,700.000-a-year social security program will i go into effect an July 1, and thou sands of indigent aged and under privileged children will be given a helping hand through its provisions.

Yelton.. County organizations also have been completed, in compliance with the law which was adopted by the 1937 session of the general assembly. The various county, boards of welfare are expecting to be flooded with applications for assistance, and Mrs. W. T. Bost, commissioner of the state welfare department, has estimated that during the first three months the program is in opera tion a maximum of 15,000 persons 65 years of age and older, and ap proximately 10,500 dependent chil dren will be helped. The average monthly aid for the aged will be about $12.50, while that for under privileged children will run close to $6. . The total amount to be expended on the two features of the act dur ing the first quarter of its opera tioii will be approximately $o00,lXX), it has been estimated. The federal government will bear one-half the cost of aid to the aged, with the state and county governments con tributing approximately one-fourth each. The cost of the dependent children- program will be born equally by the federal, state, and county governments. Estimates recently compiled by the public assistance division in dicate that approximately 24,587 in digent aged and 21,837 dependent children in the state will be eligible for aid under the social security program. On the eve of the formal inaugu ration of the great humanitarian legislation ,'in North Carolina, Mr. Yelton has issued the following statement: "On July 1 the state of North Carolina formally will launch a project which I confidently believe will prove to be of almost inesti mable benefit to the thousands of respectable men, women and chil dren who how are not privileged to live in the decency and comfort to which every human being is en titled. "It is the social security act, passed by the last session of our legislature, whose members should have the grateful thanks of all our people for their wisdom and great humanitarianism in adopting this beneficent statute. - "We of the state board of char ities and public Welfare who will be charged with administering the pro visions of the act are deeply cogni zant of the enormity pf the. task before us. But we are entering up on our work with willing and hope ful hearts, and trust that our ef forts will result in efficiency and justice in carrying out the law. "We have been ably assisted by the hundreds of fine men and wo men in the several counties of the state who have helped us in. form ing the organization which will be needed to administer the social se curity program, and to them we ex tend our gratitude. "We need and ask the whole hearted cooperation of all public spirited citizens in the work we are undertaking, and I am confi dent' that it will be accorded us. We hope that the provisions of the act can and will be administered impartially and justly, and that our state will be a happier place in which to live because of this legislation." led as little as possible.

How can I remove objection able flavors from milk? A. there is no way to remove these flavors, but proper feeding and management will prevent them. Do not feed any highly flavored feeds such as turnips or rye be fore milking. These feeds, together with roughage should be fed after and not before or while milking. If the milk has an onion flavor the sows should be taken off pasture and given dry feed at least six hours before milking. If this is done and proper precautions taken in handling the milk and cream the objectionable flavors will be elimi nated. Q. What is the best way to cure alfalfa hay? A. The purpose of curing is to preserve the green color and pre vent the leaves from shattering. The alfalfa should be cut before the dew is off and raked into windrows before the top leaves are crisp.
