1 1 Work Carried On Byl Department fjf July Reviewed. The major activities of I the Pitt County Health Department for the! mont^ of July were materml and in- j fant welfare dinks. yanarijfcl disease! clinics, cafe and dtSQwfcspectioBS I and community sanitation, according to a report drafted by Dr. & Thomas j Ennett, health officer. fjje'presenta-1 - tion to the Pitt County Medical So-1 The full report foUows|P "For the month of J% the fol-1 lowing contagious diseaiS were re-1 ported: measles, 4 0M^{- meningoc-j cocic meningitis, 1 case; scarlet fever, j 1 case; typhoid fever. 9 opt;_whoop- j ing cough 6 cases. Nd; diphtheria for July and so far this year, no I Rocky Mountain spotted Sever. "The attendance at the veneral J disease and maternal aa^jbifant wel fare clinics is holding s) p' well, con-1 sidering the time of yeas? The num- j ber of treatments for venereal dis ease during the month of July, was I 1,117 and the number, at jhlood Was-j serman taken was 188. The atten-1 dance at the maternal and infant j welfare centers was 62 for the month I of July. "The State Ortnopem* t,umc. iicju every first Friday, served 24 patients in the month of July. "Dairy and cafe inspections show improvement bat .there ip*"air>g much room for farther improvement. If in government 'eternal vigilance is the price of ilberty* se also is eter nal vigilance the pace?f good sani tation in dairy and cafe work. "The community sanitation pro gram or privy program is meeting with fair success, though we are still hoping for your active cooperation? that is using your professional in fluence with the landlord in getting him to provide a sanitary privy for the home of each one-of his tenants. As you know a sanitary privy willl tend to prevent not only typhoid fever but hookworm and diarrhea, and enteritis as well, and while vac-1 cination against typhoid fever has J been successful it cannot wholly take the place of sanitation. In other words we can never hope to eradicate typhoid fever as long as many of the rural people have no privy at all or simply a privy xeafeme. "During the past month a number of proposed local malaria drainage projects have been brought to the attention of the health officer. These projects vary in sbtt all the waV from the hand labor project to the **11 dredge project la this con, nection I wish to say that the State Board of Health, through its mala ria division, has requested the Pitt County Health Department make a malaria blood survey in the Pitt county public schools this fall. The health officer is in sympathy with this survey and trusts that this pro posed survey meets with the approv al of this society. Short Crop Indicated Iii North Carolina i?? ? Raleigh, Aug 15.?"Flue-cured to bacco in eastern North Carolina has shown marked improvement within the past two or three weeks," said Uoyd T. Weeks, assistant extension tobacco specialist at State CoBege. "Prospects are much brighter in most sections, but I am afraid it will be impossible for the State, as a whole, to produce a normal crop." Weeks, who spends most of his time visiting various counties of the State to examine tobacco fields and tobacco-growing demonstrations conducted by fanners, estimated that production this year will be at least twenty per cent under last year. He added that some of the dem onstrations, where farmers have ap plied the right fertilizer, observed recommended cultural practices, and have used a high .grade of seed are making much better leaf than the other, fields nearby. But, in places, rains have been so heavy that the demonstrations were "drowned out, and are a complete flop," the special ist continued. " Over a wide part of the State, however, rain-damaged tobacco was revived by growers who hastened to cultivate the crop as soon after the rains as the ground was dry enough to work. They "broke out the mid dles," and threw the loose earth up around the stalks, so the roots could get more nitrogen. BAN ROAD SIGNS Copenhagen, Denmark. ? All high way and road signs, except those posted by municipalities, must be removed under a law which recently became effective. Advertising on buildings must also be removed un less advertising the trade carried on in the building. Four-H corn and livestock projects in Wayne County are reported as good, "But cotton and tobacco are not up to standard due to inclement weather. B- H. KNOTT ' ... I .. I ' ? ' J. M. HOBGOOD . ?? G.
