RELIEF U PROMISED
Tbc following Uttar received to-!
day by F. Graver Britt, secretary of
the Dunn Chamber of Commerce,
win be of Interest to Dispatch read
ers:
“Mr. P. Grover Britt. Secretary,
“The Dean Chamber of Commerce,
Dunn, N. C.
“Dear Sir
i “I thank you very much for yoar
favor of March lOth. 1 regret that
the maintenance of reads leading eat
, from Dunn la not up to Uw high
standard of the fourth diatriet. Tha
beat way to Improve thia situation is
• for puhllc-apirited citiseas, like your
self, to write to tha tyghwsy officials.
“As road rommiaaioner of the
fourth district I have vory little to
do with the maintenance of road*.
This is.almost entirely in the hands
of Mr. Frank Page, chairman State
highway commission, and Mr. P. X.
Sehnepfe, district engineer, Durham.
X C. As a matter of courtesy, how.
ever, I will take pleasure in making
a careful investigation of the matter
mentioned in your letter. All officials
i ®f the Highway Commission absolute
ly insist upon fint-clasa maintenance
of rood*. I here ruceived several
cooomsrucationa from this seation
( along the same line mentioned by
;j you, and you can assure your board
J ef directors that in a few days the
maintenance of roads leading out
from Dunn will be brought up to the
high standard of the fourth district.
“Youn truly,
“JOHN SPEDNT HILL.
"Comroijnionrr Fourth District.
1 SHOULD PLANT A GARDEN
Every family in Dunn should strive
to hav£ a heme-garden this year.
Some will say that they can boy
Vegetables cheaper than they can
grow them. Even if this were true, it
is bet&r to have the vegetable at
home than to be dependent apoa
somebody eke for them When yea
hare vegetables in year awn gar
■dea .yew mesa aslabC^lpbepgkJWh*
whenyoa want it. Then, too. the vege
tables are fresh and better far year
self and family. As to cultivating the
garden. Use man who stays cooped up
k an oftee or store needs just the
exercise repaired ta keep down the
KTasa during th* hot summer days.
If you haven’t planted a gardpn,
pleat iiae.
CATTLE SHOULD BE TESTED
The county commissioners will ha
asked at their next meeting le make
an appropriation for giving all tho
cattle In the county a tuberculin test.
The Dispatch believes that tha ap
propriation should he made. It haa
been proven that tuberculosis Is
transmissible to the person whs
drieks the milk from the infected
cow, and more especially to children.
Tl»e livee of whole families are en
dangered when th* family cow (a in
fected with tuberculosis. The tuber
culin test is the only method of de
tecting tuberculosis in cattle, and this
test la both reliable and harmless.
Some of the benefits to be deriv
ed from tho eounty-wido tuberculin1
tret of catUe are: Protection of pub
lic heultli, protection of healthy cat
tle. increased value of tasted cattle,
aaveiopment of cattle industry, pro
tection of financial loss to owner* and
the establishment of a tuberculosis
free county.
The following editorial which ap
peared In The Fayetteville Observer
aosno month' ago givea some idea *f
the resalts of the test in Cumberland
county:
"Ohserver reader* doubt!*** noted
with interest th* story In re*tCTdajr**
paper o 1 th* killing of a tuberculosis
cow at falcon, ht this county- Th*
lucga, liver and other part* of th*
slain animal war* exhibited at th*
Obaerrer's office, and the plainly ap
parent ravage* of the disease were
fearful to behold ft is fortunate in
deed, that the owner of the cow had
t.o other cattle, else they too would
hare Seen Infected. And now .comas
the question—what disastrous affect
is th* milk of this cow going to have
on the four children who have bean
drinking it? Already one child in af
flicted, hat never been able to walk,
though more than thro* and a hail
years old, white a physician hag pro
nounced it* symptoms at tubercular
onet. Mirer that the child will cease
drinking the milk, will it Improve and
finally become normal? The chances
are that it will not."
U only one life was saved In Har
nett county a* a result otf Uie tests,
who would deny that tha appropria
tion asked for was not a worthy
one?
