New Coaeh Arrives
At A & T CoHegie
To Assist Bernard
Greensboro, N. C. —Archi#
Harris, world's discus hurling
champion, and “Big Ten” foot
ball ace, arrived at A. and T.
college last week, to take up his
duties as assistant coachi to Rol
lie Bernard. Although Harris
received many offers to play
professional football with such
teams as the Philad.elphia Ea
gles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Long
Island Red Skins, and the Pat
terson Panthers, he turned
them down to coach at A. and
T., “because athletics has given
me some of the best in life, and
I want to help other fellows to
build strong physical and moral
character, so they too can en
joy the best and will be able to
meet tlie problems which they
will face later on in life."
“We hope to develop win
ning teams," said Archie, who
paused long enough from his
workout on the A, and T. col
lege athletic field, Friday, Au-
^ gust 29, to give his plans and
expectations for the coming
year. "Since I’ve been here,"
he declared, “the spirit of co
operation which I've witnessed
between the administration and
^student body are conducive to
the developing of those winning
teams. I’m working with a fine
fellow, Kollie Bernard, whose
aims are the same as mine." «
Archie’s greatness was by no
means thrust upon him. Work
ing every summer, for the past
nige years|. as lif«KU^«Jr at
“the oeach at Ocean City^ N. J.,
in order to help defray college
expenses, he developed the
powerful physique which gave
him tl\e name of "King of the
Discus’’. While in Ocean City
high school, Harris won records
in the shot put and discus which
still stand. As a junior in high

forts, Harris decided to further
his education at Indiana uni

which is still unsurpassed. In

State Helath Officer
Reports On The
Health Of the Army
Raleigh — Ur. Carl V. Rey
nolds, State Health Olfieers, to

ment upon his return from six of
the eight countics whore full arm
manevners ai-e to be held, where
ho contacted local oll’ieinls as

About ■ two years ago North
Carolinii jmt on an intensive cam
palgn against veneral disease and
has since established nearly 300
clinicft where sufferers can secure
treatmelit, free, until cured. This
program has been prosecuted
with gratifying results, materially
lowering the infection rate and
the incidence of syphilis in this
State.
“The incoming of the soldier
has magnified our problem, and
today it has become alarming,
necessit«ting a survey of actual
conditions among those stationed
at Fort Bi’agg, the results of
which convinced us it Avas essen
tial that we, as cijstodians of the
hearth of our citizens and that of
our boys in camp, we give the
public a factual statement.
“It was not our purpose to
censure or persecute any person
or persons or localities. We were
convinced, however, that a truth-
statcmciit, backed by official and
authoriative evidence, should be
publicized, let the cliips fall where
they might.
“Surely, it is ' stiincicnt evid
ence that pro.stitution is being
allowed and sometimes condoned
when the report reveals specifi
cally that the contacts resulting
in venereal disease were made at
a definite place In a nanied city
or hamlet j that the solicitors, in
many instances, were taxicah
drivers and bellhops, and that
the contacts took place within
specified hotelB and houses of
prostitution.
“From the ranks of registrants
only those are chosen to be sold
iers who sound in body.
Selectc'Os found to be sufVcring
with venereal diseases when they
arc examined are not accepted.
“To allow prostitution and
houses of prostitution to flourish
places' a prcniiuin : on verneral
diseases. It causes ' the registrant
who had a veneral disease to be
ri\jected — and perhaps makes
your next in line to taka his
place.

^ Put a Tax on Them!
The ^Pennsylvania Board of
Fish Commissioners points out
that: “One adult dragon-fly ac
counts for as many as 40 adult
mosquitoes a day. This is not
an average but for numerical
reasoning, if 1,000 dragon-fly
nymphs are prevented from
reaching the adult stage, 40,-
000 mosquitoes stand a ffood
chance, barring other checks to
carry on propagation. As each
adult female lays from 200 to
400 eggSj, think of the count
less numbers that are increas
ing rapidly fron^ day to day.
Therefore, we can say that the
fisherman who is bothered so
much by the mosquito, unwit
tingly helps increase the num
ber of this pest by using draff*
on-fly nymphs for bait." Put a
tax on dragon-fly nymphs, we
say . . .
Now It’s Pills for Minnows!
A Minnesota company is mar
keting oxygen tablets designed
to keep minnows 'alive in your
minnow bucket. A tablet drop
ped into water gives of oxygen
for a period of about 10 hours,
according to the company’s ad
vertisements. Good thing if it
works.
Tight Suspicion
In Scotland it is still consid
ered bad luck if a haddock
fisherman sees a red-headed wo-
man,^a minister, a lawyer, a
cat, or a pig, when he is going
out to sea.

A Timely Warning
More warnings have been is
sued about careless handling of
firearms than about any other
hazard found around the home.
Yet people continue to fool with
the fun that “wasn't loaded.”
No one knows whether or not
a gun is loaded when he picks
it up. It may be your own pet
10-guage that you have never-r
left loaded about the bouse.
You don’t know who has bor
rowed it since you last used it'
and left a shell in it. It takes
but a second to “break” a gun
and learn definitely whether or
not it is loaded. And this should
be done with any weapon. you
pick up. Don’t take any one’s
word for it.
There is one hard and fast
rule rearding firearms that was
first taught to boys. That was
Never point a gun at anyone un
less you intend to shoot them.
Anther should be: Always
"break” gun before you examine
it. Obeying those two rules will
avoid many accidents—to your
self and to others. Think fixst
and avoid that accident.
