Martin's New Health Department Recognized as a valuable step in the advance ment of public health, the Martin County Health Department, recently created by far seeing authorities, is scheduled to start func tioning on a full-time basis some time next month under the leadership of Dr E W Fur guson. Organized on a part-time basis under the di rection of the late William E. Warren and ably handled by him and later by Dr. Joseph H Saunders, public health work in Martin Coun ty has already meant much to the county and its people. The full-lime department is an en largement of that program, and holds a great promise m advancing the public health and toe general-welfare of the nearly JO.(Hit! people in the county. That the department may function to its full est extent, it must be recognized as an educa tional agency, an agency designed to check the ravages of disease rather than effect cures. Its main work is preventative medicine?on a col lective scale, and individual attention u not to J be expected. The average per capita cost is only a few cents, and at that price one cannot expect individual attention, but as general health con ditions are improved, everyone gains. As the new health unit starts functioning, it is not expected to make much headway as far as direct results are concerned. But if it can check the increasing number of syphilitic cases, save a few from the institutions for the insane, effect a better control of contagious diseases and advance timely health programs in the schools even.- cent appropriated for the service will ha\s- been spent well. None can be so op limistic as to believe the full-time health sen ice will ever do away with disease. It is believ ed, however, that intelligent work in tins de partmenl when closely connected with the wel iare agencies can at least check the plagues or disease and possibly decrease them One only has to review the increasing number of syphilis cases and the resulting increase in the number of people entering institutions for the insane to know that while science has made marked ad vances m the control of disease we are about to be swallowed by a plague. The public health service is the result of Christian principles incorporated into our own law. It is doing for our neighbor and his family our families under similar circumstances. What's more, it is, as all other Christian prm- I ciples, economically sound. We stand to save 1 far more as a result of the service than it will ever cost. The cooperation of every one is urged in mak ing the department prove successful. There'll be much understanding needed, and everyone j should realize that the service was created to safeguard the health of all. If insanitary places .?ire closed, the owners of those places should re member the action was not taken for selfish leasons. but it was taken to safeguard the pub lic health. The time is ripe for improvng health ! conditions throughout the county, and if every business operator will put his house in order, the health department will congratulate him and not condemn. The operator who ignore* the public health can expect action from the department, action that will be considerate but yet firm. The medical profession, reliable reports, has pledged the department its cooperation. Now. let every resident in the county pledge his co operation in supporting this valuable service. Offers Course to Recovery Representative Maury Maverick, of ' centlv offered a clear course to recovery in this country when he said: "Our problems are many; taxation is by no means the only one. And it is a dead moral cer tainly that we cannot solve all our problems by junking-our tax system. In fact, Federal taxa tion is more necessary now than ever before, because of our industrial and financial system, and the concentration of wealth by a few in certain small areas. To eliminate the present Federal taxation on the higher brackets is merely to shift the burden on the smaller cor porations. shop and storekeepers and the aver age business men all over the United States of America "Mv own idea is that the Democratic party should itself show no fear, but go on with its pledges: among them to build employment by soil conservation, a great housing campaign, a fair agricultural bill, minimum wages and max imum hours, and to stay out of war at all cost If we falter, we are lost, but if we go ahead courageously we can have security and peace Let's Make Some Investments Charlotte News And while we're on the subject of columnists who would save the country, Mr. Walter Lipp mann is guilty, we believe, of a merely cap tious criticism of the President's message to Congress. The theme- of Mr. Lippmann's dis course is indicated by this excerpt: (The President's) only two specific proposals to reach a national income of 100 billions are these two measures?the farm bill and the 'i agt-s.and-hours bill. Not even in a phrase does the President recognize that to product an in come of 100 billions it would be necessary to expand factories, install machines, and train skilled worke-rs on a scale beyond anything in our previous experience. Never for an instant does he seem to realize that ^uch an objective .s totally unobtainable except through the sav ing and the investment of stupendous sums of capital. Well, let's make an investment, just to please Air. Lippmann Shall we buy a super-farm and raise cotton? No? Shall we erect a textile mill, and add its productive capacity to the over-suf ficient capacity of that industry within its pres ent markets? Shall we put up a plant to make machinery for General Motors, or does Gener al Motors' current inability to sell all the auto mobiles it can turn out with its present machin ery darken that investment prospect? It would be suicidal, n the face of it, for eith er industry or agriculture to gear itself up ov emight U> a basis which would inereaw the country's real income to 100 billions annually. There must be, first, an expanding market, which is precisely what the President is striv ing for Whether he is going about it the right oi the wrong way, is dev'lishly hard'to tell, but that he is going about it in the right order any prudent investor would have to admit. The Bad King Augusta (Ga.) Herald. - Except tor cotton there would have been ne I. rge demand for slaves. One might go a step further and blame the staple for the Civil War. to label it wth curse-giving powers like that of gold. Among the richest lands in the world stand today horribly eroded and well-night impov ?rished because of cotton. No crop takes so i. uch from the soil and so readily promotes ero The glamor that poets gave to the cotton fields of the Old South is gone and in its stead there is the stark reality of bankrupt planters and hopeless peasants. IN On Aufust 5. 19X7 the Spirit at David Griffin made its flight into the seienitj and pence at paradise. A young man just adventuring into life's mid-day he was suddenly tak en from this temporal existence into the keeping and care of one who knows best There are many things ?n ufe which are beyond human conception. Why a young man with such prom ise. hope and genuine loyalty should be called, we do not understand, yet we know he responded to the sum mons at one, the majesty of whose laws ae would not dare to challenge that of an humble fanner, his co tribution was rich with the things which make for genuine citizenship. David endeared himself to those who knew him by his sympathetic na ture, his fairness, and high sense of honor. He was an obedient and lov ing child as well as a kind and affa ble husband and father. Always re sponsive to the needs of his fellow men. he never missed his change to make a contribution to the welfare of his community. His cheerful dis position and residence to the pangs of this l.fe were never so well ex hibited as in the last days he lived when he refused to surrender until the grasp of death would not let him fight longer Those who knew him best loved him best. This was shown when, after his death, his friends were so generous in their efforts to carry on with his farming where he had left off. Their helpfulness, their sympathy and kindness will always be cherished in our memories. We like to think of him as being the kind of man William Cullen Bryant depicted in these beautiful lines: So live, that when they summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou go not like the quarry?slave | at night Scouraged to his dungeon, but sus tained and soothed By an unfaltering trust approach uiy grave Lake one a ho w raps the drapery of his couch About him and bes down to pleasant d'uum* But now our hearts are heavy with the realization that he has gone from our midst Our lives are saddened when we think that his presence shall never again grace our home, but we know that he has paid the visit that me all must pay. But with us the ties of lose were not severed by his death but will strengthen with the passing of the years. May it be the will of Providence that w hen we, too. shall surrender this life we may be received into the beautiful beyond ?itli him and once again be one hap py family. SL'SAN E. GRIFFIN.
