SEPTIC TANK ORDINANCE VALUABLE IN AFFECTING HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS Os all the factors influencing the I health of individuals in rural and ur-| ban areas where public sewers are not ~ : lable, no single item is of great ; importance than the proper dispos al of human excreta. Many diseases such as typhoid fever, dysentary, and I various types of diarrhea are trans mitted from one person to another through the fecal contamination of food and water, largely due to the improper disposal of human wastes. For this reason, every effort should be made to prevent such hazards and to dispose of all human excreta so that no opportunity will exist for fecal con tamination of water or foods. A sep tic tank is on important part of the home, so good care should be taken for your protection. Safe disposal of all human and do mestic wastes in necessary to protect the health of the individual family and the community and to prevent the oc currence of nuisances. To accomplish satisfactory results, such wastes must be disposed of so that: 1. They will not contaminate any drinking water supply. 2. They will not give rise to a pub lic health hazard by being accessible to insects, rodents, or other possible carriers, which may come in contact with food or drinking water. 3. They will not give rise to a nuis ance due to odor or unsightly appear ance. In making a septic tank installation many things should be considered, such as, location in regards to water sup ply (a water supply should be at least 50 feet horizontal distance from any part of installation), drain field One Out Os Three Men Are Disqualified For Service In Army 13.4 Per Cent of Men Fail to Pass Mental Examination — One of every three v An currently processed for military duty under Selective Service Regula tions is disqualified. According to the Army Office of the Surgeon General, approximately ' 3,990,000 pre-induction examinations were given to Selective Service reg istrants from the beginning of the Korean conflict in July, 1950. through- December, 1953. About 1.250.000 ofi 1 the men examined were disqualified. | The total disqualification rate dur-j ing this period was 32.4 per cent, bro-j ken down as follows: 15.0 turned down for medical reasons only; 13.4] failed the mental examination: 3.2' failed both mental and medical exami nations:: and 0.8 per cent were not acceptable for administrative reasons (criminal records, moral and other reasons). The principal disqualifying medical defects, based on a sample of medical records of men found not acceptable j [ for the period July, 195($ through De-|. cember, 1951, revealed the following diagnostic breakdown: Defect Percent 1.

A septic tank does not necessarily purify the sewage, eliminate odor, or I destroy all solid matter. Its purpose is to condition the sewage or domes tic waste by bacterial action, so that it can be disposed of in a more satis factory manner. The effluent may contain even more disease germs than the original sewage, and though it may appear to be clear, it is far from pure and certainly will cause foul odors if discharged or allowed to pool on surface of ground. Since the adoption of a septic tank ordinance covering Pasquotank-Per quimans-Camden-Chowan Health Dis trict on April 25, 1953, 357 septic tank installations were made. Os this num ber 200 were installed for new homes or other buildings, and 157 for exist ing homes or other buildings. The to tal for each county is as follows: Pas quotank 211, Perquimans 63, Camden 43, Chowan 40. This ordinance requires that a per mit be secured from the Health De partment prior to beginning work on any installation. No charge is made for a permit, which is issued after an inspection of premises is made with person or persons to make such in stallation. The adoption of the septic tank or dinance is considered a very valuable service of the District Health Depart ment. A record of each installation is on file at the Health Department, giv ing much valuable information such as size, location of water supply, date, and construtcion information. 18.

There are problems today of every size, color and dimension. Just as long as the human race exists there always will be problems. Men, races and nations rise and fall, either by being able to handle their problems or by failing to handle their problems. I There are some problems that may I be handled by amending a constitu- I tion, passing a law or making a legal I decision. There are other problems I that are so aged by time that none I of these procedures will remove them. | The United States has come to grips with one of its greatest prob-U lems. In the colonial days there was 1 slave and race segregation. In the ] War Between the States legal slavery was abolished. But race segregation still lives on. Though the Supreme! Court may reverse its decisions yet its latest decisions are the interpre tations of the laws of the land. Seg regation is a deep rooted custom. Laws and decisions cannot wholly des troy this custom. Only the slow mov ing hand of time can destroy the rec ognized custom of segregation. No laws or customs can be changed where an overwhelming majority of the citi zens disapprove of the change. Seg regation is slowly passing away. This ,is not being done by laws and decis ions of courts but by the hand r> f time. The most sensible way of hand ling the problem of segregation is to place it in tbe lap of time and await tbe final and impartial decision. Seg regation was not bom in a day neither will it pass away in a day. Chowan Native Dies At Vinrinia Reach, Va. I Mrs. Ellie H.
