TYPHOID CLINICS TO BE HELD AT TWO j PLACES IN COUNTY (Continued from peffv o>ie) neighborhood. Authorities assert that some people are natural carriers o f typhoid germs, while but few such unfortun ates are ever aware of the fact, and that any person coming in contact with such "carriers" is almost certain to fall victim to the disease, hence the importance of being vaccinated against the awful thing. It la said that three treatments will absolutely guarantee one against contracting the disease for a period of at least three ywars, " * . Local conditions cause typhoid to spring out, it is said by the health department. It comes from water, when springs, wells or water systems are exposed to matter that creace the germ; it comes from milk when it is handled in certain uncleanly manner, and it comes more often from the "typhoid carrier," explained above. One other condition, if im properly maintained, creates the germ and that is the matter of sewerage disposal. - ???#! The department urges every home owner using water from springs to ditch above and around the spring, turning al! water on the surface away from the spring. Then the spring should be completely and thoroughly covered, preferably by cement, with a drain pipe in use carrying the wat er from the enclosed spring to the bucket. This protects the "water from contamination, and prevents any ty phoid germ from entering the water. Premises about the house should be kept free of all refuse that would prove a hatching place for typhoid germs. 1 But science's best method is that of vaccination. The state is conduct ing these clinics free of all charge, and it is the expressed wish of the authorities that as many citizens as so desire will present themelves for the treatment at the places and dates above named. Men, women and chil dren, from any section of the county, are included in the state's invitation to avail themselves of this opportun ity to guard against typhoid. There is no epidemic of typhoid in any section of the county, it is point ed out, and these precautions are be ing taken to make Transylvania coun ty stand at the head of the list in the health column. The presence of a few cases in the county is looked upon as a challenge to the citizenship, hence this ready action against any disease that threatens the men, wom en and children of Transylvania county.

' A native of the section reported : recently that the cave has been visit- 1 ed by many of the people living in . that vicinity but they had always ? held the opinion that it was bottom- 1 le3s. He assured authorities that thi j skeleton was that of an Irishman who made his appearance in Nana thala over thirty years ago. The Irishman mysteriously disappeared disappeared and his identity and dis appearance was never solved. The terrible and destructive fires in the forest areas in this and other , states should have focused the public attention on the problem. Thousands of acres oi' timber have been devastated ? families left home- j less, human and anima! lives destroy ed ? streams polluted and beautiful forests turned into useless wastes. Many of the losses by fire may and j have been laid t6 arson ? really the most despicable of all crimes. The ! vacationist, the smoker, camper, hun- j ter, all have become responsible for thi serious fire tolls taken each year. We hear big talk over forest con servation; yet the work of many years is often wiped away by! the dropping of a small match or cigar- j ette. Let's work together and actual- [ ly outlaw the forest fire problem. Do you realize that fire prevention begins in the individual home and that if North Carolina is to succeed in lowering the annual fire toll; the, direct cooperation of its homes will ! be necessary. If we guard our homes and busi ness houses regularly and safely against fire, then the forest fire problem will be lowered accordingly. Eight out of ten fires may be placed to the carelessness of the individual. And when citizens awake to the fact that they themselves are directly or indirectly responsible, then we will be able to control preventable fires mA-e efficently. i Pl&ns for the second annual stale- [ 1 wide Industrial Safety Conference : are being perfected and it has been ' announced that the meeting will be held in Charlotte, November 5th and 6th, under the auspices of the North Carolina Industrial Commission. I The first conference was held at High Point last year and approxi mately 900 delegates acting as safety officials from various firms and or ganizations, were present. | Problems peculiar to certain types of industry will be discussed and theories as to their solution, studied and perfected. A recent farm bulletin expressed the opinion that North Carolina land j owners are seeking sources of ad ditional income and market plac? tor surplus forage and other feedstulfs. It further said that such landowners might find it profitable to turn to sheep on the farm flock basis. There are very few farms on which ' there is not a small amount of waste land, some pasture or extra forage grounds where sheep might be raised to an advantage. Alert farmers of the state are ar ready investigating in small flocks I to start them on the new enterprise, j when other measures have failed. Autumn weather, beautiful in its j (clear snapping mornings, cool re j freshing evenings and with crisp at j mosphere throughout the day, is lut- j | ing large number of nature lovers to I the Great Smoky Mountains. Excel--' by none, the Smokies still remain a popular rendezvous for tourists and natives. Beautiful Indian summer is arriving, the most wonderful season ; of the year, and its charms lead the j nature lover to enjoy its short ses- j sion with us. The U. S. Commerce department is shortly to make an intensive economic study of Carolina's turpentine In dustry, as part of a nation-wide sui vey of the entire turpentine trade. A large volume of the national out put of turpentine is produced in this state. The results of this survey will be of great value to the producers and distributors of the state as well as the entire south. Have you noticed the employment situation during the last few weeks. Land owners from various sections, are reporting that the unemployed are refusing jobs. Cotton farmers say that they cannot get men or wo men to pick their cotton, even though they are out of positions; the unem ployed are refusing such jobs as picking cotton, working corn, road work and street jobs. It may be pride, false pride! But 3uch a spirit will never do anything to aid in this depression. The man who is willing to help his family, his community, his state and himself will avail himself of any job that might tide him over until better times. Cooperation is the word we want. Cooperation is the only key word to relieve depression. Cooperation is necessary if we are to secure better roads, lower tax rates, lower illiter ate ratios, realize Carolina oppor tunities and in every way aid the state of today. What are you going to do about it? Regular school attendance is one important factor of education which should be emphasized. Some of the principal causes of poor attendance are sickness, poverty, weather, work, parental indifference and truancy. Of course, sickness cannot be pre vented in many instances, but in thousands of cases it can, at least it should and can be kept to a minimum. Weather has long been a bad cause of lowering attendance, but the ma jority of the schools have sueh splen LICENSE STATIONS IN EVERY COUNTY, IS PLAN OF BUREAU ( Continued from page one) the stations at all points in the State except Winston-Salem, where the local motor club handles the plates.
