CONSTITUTION AFTER 180 YEARS
The United States Constitution Sesqui-Centennial
Commission, under the leadership of the indefatigable
Sol Bloom, Representative in Congress from New York
City, has got its plans under way for a nation-wide cele
bration of the 150th anniversary to the states for rati
fication on September 17, 1787, and on September 1 /,
next year, it will be 150 years old.
Congress appropriated $250,000 in 1935 for the Com
mission to use in arousing public interest in the historic 1
document. Through state commissions, educational in
stitutions and libraries the Commission is establishing
contacts with -millions of students of college, high schools ,
and grade schools who will compete for local and na
tional priatw and honors. Orations and essays on the
Constitution Trill be judged by local and state commit
tees and the national contestants will go to Washington
to compete for the first prize, which will be handed to {
the winner by the President of the United States.
? -7 Full-sized facsimiles of the original draft of the
Constitution will be distributed to state capitols, libra
ries and educational institutions; a series of commemora
tive postage stamps will.be issued and an exhibition of
historical paintings and portraits of the signers of the
Constitution will be assembled in Washington.
In our opinion this effort to revive interest in and
the study of the Constitution of the United States is very
timely. All over the world peoples of entire nations are
being deprived of their ancient liberties. A widespread
understanding of the peculiar liberties which we of
America enjoy under onr Constitution, which has been
described as the greatest document ever forged by the
mind of man. cannot fail to be helpful.
P^ACE OR WAR? ....
In addressing the third World Power Conference at |
Washington the Secretary of State, Cordell Hull, re
marked that "unfortunately, a vastly disproportionate1
share of the skill and energy of scientists and statesmen j
alike is being devoted now in many parts of the world to j
the creation and organization of forces of destruction." j
Every thoughtful person with even a slight under
standing of the forces which seem to be driving toward
another world war will agree with Secretary Hull in
deploring the activities of governments and leaders who, ,
under the guise of preparing for national defenses, are
stimulating the war spirit and preparing to plunge civi- j
lization into chaos.
It has lately been reported that so many of the Ger- 1
man people are engaged in the manufacture of arms and
munitions of war that an illusion of prosperity has been
created. To what end is suggested by the recent remarks
of Chancellor Hitler, in which he suggested what Ger
many might do if she possessed the mineral and agricul
tural resources of Russia. That, coupled with his .de
mand for a return of the German colonies taken "away
by the Treatjtof Versailles, comes very close to being an
actual threat of war.
Russia today has the largest standing army ever
known in the history of the world and one of the beet
equipped, Russia fears attack bpth from the West and
from the Bast. Japan is reaching farther Northward
and Westward from Manehuria, and the day seems not
far off when fli3 Soviet Republic will be fighting for its
life on tatyufapits. Italy and France both seem to be
watching for the time and the opportunity to dismember
Spain and parcel it out between them. Britain's colonial
empire is thtjJJrtened, by all of these developments. In
the event of another great war, it seems impossible that
England can stay out. And it is far from impossible,
that the United States would also find itself involved. .

The Effect of V?c<'ination on
Disease
0 Typhoid Fever, Diphtheria and
Small-Pox are the three disease!
against the prevention of which
vaccination has been most success
ful. Prior to the realization that
vaccination would prevent, ty
phoid fever was among the moil
prevalent as well aa fatal disease!
in Franklin County.
Typhoid Fever. Typhoid fever
immunization consists of three
hypodermic injections at interval!
of one week, and should be re
peated every two or three "Vears
and if typhoid in the community
yearly. The pain of this adminis
tration is negligible and after ef
fects of no serious consequence.
Small-Pox. A slight scratch Is
1 made on the arm and a small a
mount of the attenuated virus ap
j plied to the scratch. If the vaccln
ution is done aseptically, and not
[Infected later from some substance
other than the virus, there is very
little discomfort from the treat
ment. Small-Pox vaccination
should be repeated every six or
seven years and oftener if there
is exposure to the disease. It is
the consensus of opinion that vac
cination has almost entirely
stamped out small-pox, certainly
when an occasional case occurs It
is much milder. These facts should
not give a feeling of security, un
less vaccination Is observed, for
if it la not, small-pox is liable to
lerum with its old time frequency
and violence^
Diphtheria. Vaccination against
diphtheria consists of only ono
hypodermic Injection of toxiod.
The pain of thla treatment it
very ?light, the after effects negli
gible and * llfe-Un? pidi. ct i in
agalnat this disease Is assured In
97 per cent of case*. The Ideal
time for vaccination against diph
theria la at all months of age.
Statiatica show the death rate la
lilgheat from six months to two
>ears and the Incidence from aix
months to aix yeara. Anti-Toxin
for treatment and Toxiod for pr<>
ventlon hare accomplished untold
good. The Schick Teat (which I
hope to give the school childron
thla year) indlcatea the suscepti
bility to diphtheria.
There are a number of other
contagious diseases for which vac
cination has been advocated but.
theae three are the onea moat
succeaaful. For Infantile Paralysis
there have been millions of dol
lara and yeara of scientific ex
periment spent, in efforts to dis
cover a successful vaccine against
Infantile Paralysis, but so far
nothing successful has been dis
covered.
1 know that statistic sare dry.
bat 'are neceaaary to prove tbe
effectiveness of the subject being
discussed. In 1930 the N. C.
Health Department was establish
ed in Franklin County. Among the
activities yearly Free Vaccination
Clinics are conducted at various
places In the Connty.
Typhoid Fever. During tbe five
yeara of the Franklin County
Whole Time Health Department's
existence there have been 31,(41
persons vaccinated agalnat typhoid
fever, 94,983 individual treat
ments, 2,015 more people than the
entire population of the County,
proving that quite a large number
have been vaccinated more than
one time. Aa far aa It haa been
possible to ascertain only one of
thoae vaccinated persons haa de
M loped typhoid fever <th!s was
a very mild case.)
It l? Impossible to gite the num
ber of chlldr? vaccinated against
diphtheria as th^re are a number
vaccinated by private physicians
ol whom the Health Department
has no records. In 1*36 the Frank
lin County Health Department ad
ministered Toxiod to 537 children.
I do not rtithfc- ft amiss while
so many mother* and housewives
are present to call attention to the
venereal diseases. Not many years
ago it was to say the least bad
form to mention these diseases
In polite society but they have be
come snch a menace that they are
being freely discussed in the press
and at many public gatherings.
Hut this is a subject for a future
discission. 1 will make only the
snggestion at this time that alt
hoaieitives and mother* before
hiring cooks, house servatfU or
nurses insist that these?servants
furnish a statement from Either
? reputable , physician of the
Health Depagpeaf^hat they have
no venerea! disease. The Osalth
Office conducts a free clinic each
Saturday fdr diagnosis and treat
a?a4 of venereal disease. Statis
tics state that, not as is generally
believed, these diseases ace al
ways the result of vice but tlia(
fully fifty per cent are innocently
contracted.
For 1930, the first year of the
Franklin County Whole Time
Health Department there were 31
cases of typhoid fever reported
from Franklin County. In 1935
(the last rear records completed)
there were opjy 8 cases. A reduc
tion in case rate of 74.2 per tent.
Forty-six eases of DipntperM
were rsportsd for the year. 1930.
For 1935 there were only 8 cajes
reported, a case reduction of 83.4
per cent.
From the foregoing it is ap
parent that vaccination against
typhoid and diphtheria has had a
very wonderful result in reducing
the Incidence of .these diseases in
Franklin County.
Two community buildings and
agricultural building are feeing
constructed in Hertford County
by the Works Progress Adminis
tration. .
