The millions of cubic 1 yards of sediment removed from the harbor was largely top soil from i Maryland farms. Dr. Byrd pointed out that our very j existence depends upon the minerals i which plants draw from the land and *’e know that we must give back to the soil values taken from it by the plants and consumed by us. The wel fare of every individual will in the future depend on the productivity of the soil. It would be difficult to con jecture the extent to which „soil de pletion, or in other words the lack of j soil conservation, has affected the course of history.

We are doing a great deal,! hut we can and must do more. In! the beginning many leaders were slow to learn a few fundamental truths. They did Aot easily learn that education alone would never get 'the job of soil conservation done. The problem could only be solved by jCpmmuiflty action and as a conse quence the States passed laws pro viding for the formation of Soil Con- ! servation Districts. People in differ- \ esit sections of the state could or-! ganize the selves into groups for j . their own betterment with the main j i objective of protecting a basic re source.

Sold In Edenton By Leggett & Davis Mitchener Drug Stores IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC HEALTH THOMAS A. EDISON Contributed Taking the X-ray discovered by Roentgen in 1895, Edison experiment ed with them for only a short while before giving to health science the Fluoroscope. This is now one of the most widely used diagnostic aids throughout healing professions. With it the doctor gets an immediate view of a patient’s interior, especially the visceral organs. Thus a quick analy sis or recheck of a condition can be made. Edison did not patent the Fluoroscope but gave it to the public. Many electrical safety devices grew out of Edison’s research in electricity such as traffic signals, safety stops and other cut-off switches. The alkaline storage battery made possible better travel conditions in trains and huases blessed with better lighting. Even the mining industry is indebted to his talent for replacing the dangerous flame mining lamp with electric safety lanterns in 1914. Untold thousands of lives have been saved on stricken ships through quick, long range communication by wireless telegraphy and radio, which are out growths of his discoveries. Edison was deeply interested in all branches of science, but especially in problems affecting people's health and safety. Perhaps hii most quoted statement on the art of healing and the future type of doctors is: “The doctor of the future will look to the spine for the cause of disease.” This statement again shows his keen in sight, for chiropractic science which is based on “spinal integrity for nor mal nerve function and better health has since come forward.” This sci ence is now the second largest organ ized healing profession in the world, yet is but 51 years old. “Out of respect for Edison’s vision, chiropractors have ’paraphrased his electrical system to more clearly il lustrate the operation of the central nervous system to, their patients. The brain is compared to the battery, the spinal cord and nerve paths to the Wiring and the organ and other im portant nerve terminals to lights.” In passing, it is interesting to note that X-ray and Fluoroscope are the very instruments that prove chiro practic Science to be what it claims. Maybe Edison saw the proof with his own instruments, too. .... This ar ticle contributed in the interest of Public Health by Dr. George T. Craw ford, Edenton. adv. [High School News]; BY FRANCIS CHESSON | The c;irl Scouts co;n:.u .uorated the 35th anniversary of the Girl Scout Organization last Thursday in the auditorium as an assembly program.
