ELKIN CLO. CO. Quality Men's Wear Fred Sale Zimmie Tharpe 'PHONE 361 Must Complete Farm Plans By April 15 It Is necessary that all Farm Plans for the 1940 Agricultur al Conservation Program be executed before April 15, 1940. When the Farm Plan L, nued out It makes the farm e'tgible for a farm payment for 1940, provided the farm is in com pliance with the provisions of the program. Persons who hate bought, sold, or leased land for 1940 should report such changes on or before April 15, 1940, at the County Agent's office, if the interested parties wish to have the change made for 1940. CHANGES ARE RECOMMENDED FOR SCHOOL (Continued from Page One) tional land will cost. I estimate that the alternations and additions to the schoolhouse and the new auditorium will cost approximately $20,000.00. Any contribution that you may receive from the W. P. A. can be deducted from the above estimates. 2. I further recommend that plans be made for providing ad ditional room at the Elian High School. This is a good school and it is growing. It would be false economy to handicap it for lack of room. I suggest that you engage the services of a registered architect to design the fire towers and the additional classrooms at the Elkin High School. In connection with this new work I advise that a complete inspection be made of the roof of the older part of the Elkin Graded School. Elkin has a wholesome and ap parently efficient system of schools. The buildings were neat and clean and there was evidence of good teaching throughout the school. The whole record of this school, past, present, and promise for the future, fully justifies the recommendations for the enlarge ment of the plant and the addi tion of safety features.

THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA • iyjp DOCTOR ty WE AUGHmW'JHm Food Handlers It is entirely due to public apathy that many of the diseases communicable by hand and mouth are allowed to flourish, because most of the states and municipalities have sanitary laws, which if enforced, would protect innocent victims, reduce the sickness so common from these causes and materially aid in low ering the death rate. Have you ever seen the sales man or saleswoman who fills your order for bread, cake and household sundries, moisten the finger in the mouth, to get a piece of wrapping paper? Let me remind you that the mouth harbors more germs and is really dirtier than any other part of the human body, and this i wetting of the finger may carry disease and death to you or your family. Have you ever seen the attend ant at the soda fountain, when dispensing drinks or ice cream, dip the spoons and glasses into dirty water in a tank beneath the counter, give them a swish, and then proceed to serve your or der? It has been demonstrated that 20 per cent, of disease or ganisms adhere to eating and drinking utensils which are thus "cleansed" or which ate washed and dried by a towel. These filthy practices should be j stopped and means are available for doing so, if the public insists. About 92 per cent, of all com municable diseases are transmit ted through the nose and mouth and these same diseases are car ried in the saliva-borne and food borne infections from eating and drinking places. Healthy attend ants, clean hands, clean dishes and towels will do much to reduce disease and death in all commun ities. Amebic dysentery, which caus ed more than 20 deaths and which spread to more than 100 com munities infecting several thou sands of persons and causing an enormous monetary loss, first broke out in a large Chicago hotel and was directly traced to food handlers. Among University students at Madison, Wis., a waiter suffering from "walking typhoid" wiped and stacked dishes, after they were washed and infected 41 per sons, many of whom died. A recent investigation of nearly 2,000 food handlers, such as cooks, pastry cooks, vegetable parers, dish washers and driers and scullery attendants showed more than 25 cases of tubercu losis; 65 cases of venereal dis eases and numerous others suf fering from communicable dis eases. This is proportionately true of every restaurant, soda fountain, bar and lunch counter in the United States. - Mechanical dishwashers, using a solution of soap or soda or some other suitable cleansing prepara tion, will clean, if mixed and kept in boiling water for a period of just one minilte and thereby eliminate all danger. Superheat ed air driers should then be used and the dishes, knives, spoons and forks placed in a sealed re ceptacle until used. Influenza, the common cold, tuberculosis, scarlet fever, diph theria, whooping cough, Vincent's angina, venereal diseases are among the principal ones trans mitted by unclean eating utensils. Demand that your Board of Health examine all food handlers each month, and see that sani tary equipment be placed in all eating places and then the sick ness and death rate of your town will show a remarkable decrease. WOODMEN WILL HOLD BANQUET To Gather At Greensboro To Honor National Presi dent Bradshaw A number of local Woodmen are planning to attend the banquet session to be held Thursday night, April 11, at the King Cotton hotel in Greensboro, honoring President DeEmmet Bradshaw of the Wood men of the World, Omaha, Neb., and Mrs. Bradshaw. The event will be the golden anniversary dinner, and is under the chairmanship of Charles A. Hines, of Greensboro, a national director of the organization. Prior to the banquet, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon the Daniel Boone Log Rolling association will meet at the hall of Greensboro Camp No. 26 at Fraternal hall. To be presided over by President S. E. Newman, of this citjr, the session will feature business reports and an address by T. E. Newton, of Kinston, state manager. Election of officers will climax the meet ing. For Commissioner pTj Charlie G. Mathis, above, Jonesville merchant, was the first Republican candidate to lile for an office in Yadkin county. He filed his name with the Yadkin board of elections Monday for the office of coun ty commissioners in the districts composed of Boonvllle and North Knobs precincts. Mr. Mathis is well known in his district. H i s opponent will likely be Wade Shore of Boon ville. Outlook Cloudy For 1940 Flue Cured To Washington, April 2.—The Agri culture Department said today an abnormally large prospective sup ply and reduced export outlets made the season's price outlook for flu-cured tobacco generally un favorable. A large prospective supply, the department said, indicated that the burley market situation would be little different from that dur ing last season. The outlook for fire-cured, dark air-cured and cigar types was de clared to be generally favorable on the basis of March 1 acreage intentions. Reduced exports and the 1,132,- 400,000-pound production of flue cured tobacco in 1939 are expect ed to result in flue-cured stocks next July 1 totaling 1,450,000,000 pounds, 53 per cent, greater than flue-cured stocks last July 1. Even if the United Kingdom had taken normal amounts of the 1939 pro duction, the department said, stocks as of next July 1 would still have been about 35 per cent, above those of last July 1. Burley stocks, estimated at 756.000,000 pounds as of next Oc tober 1 will be about 10 per cent, larger than those of last October 1, the department said.

JONESVILLE HAS NO PROTECTION « _______ (Continued from Page One) the local fire department answer no more calls from Jonesville un til past due charges have been paid. The order leaves Jonesville with out fire fighting facilities of any kind, and will no doubt result in increased insurance rates there unless the matter Is settled at once, it was said. It has been estimated that it costs the town of Elkin an aver age of $3C.00 each time the fire department answers an alarm, re gardless of whether there is a fire of any consequence, and it is felt, it was said, that the yearly charge which Jonesville town officials a greed to for fire protection from Elkin were extremely reasonable.
