Contending she was Reynolds'

filed a petition in the litigation

While no one would be quot

the questions involved in distri

estate which they had hoped to
avoid.
Where Was The Ham
”Say, waiter, there’s no ham
in this ham sandwich you gave,”
said a patron of a cheap lunch
room.
“Oh, that’s all right,” said the
waiter, “you ain’t come to the
ham yet.”
The man kept on eating for a
few seconds, then called to the
waiter;
“No ham yet.”
“Oh,’’ said the waiter, “you've
bit over it now.”

Question: Is it advisable to

may be used at this time of the

sites. These figures are further
borne out by the fact that a re
cent rural housing survey shows
that only 13.6 per cent of the
rural homes in North Carolina
are properly sanitated while 53.4
per cent have unimproved sani
tary facilities such as the open-
back, surface privy or crude
lean-to and 33 per cent have no
toilet or sanitary facilities what
soever. These percentages will
apply very closely to the sani
tation of Wilkes County except
that the percentage of homes
with no sanitary facilities what
ever is quite a bit higher.
Fortunately, a sanitary privy
is within the reach of every home
in Wilkes County where such Is
needed, and at a minimum cost.
Through an arrangement be
tween the North Carolint State
Board of Health, the Wilkes
County Health Department, and
the Federal Emergency Relief
Administration, the local relief
office will furhieh the labor and
supervision necessary to con
struct an approved privy free ot
any charge provided the interest
ed party will furnish the mater
ials necessary for proper con
struction. An estimate of the
materials required and arrange
ments for securing the free labor
may be had by communicating
with the writer at the County
Health Office in Walkesboro.
It is hoped that the people of
Wilkes County will recognize the
i value of this most vital health
I measure and will take full ad
vantage of the opportunity to
have a sanitary privy at the
home while it may be had at so
low a cost to the individual.

Sanitary Inspector Urges Building
Of Fly-proof Privies For All Homes
By C. C. FOARD
(Sanitary Inspector)
The rut shown at the top
is the standard pit privy ap
proved by the North Carolina
State Board of Health. This privy
is the result of many years ex
perience in the construction and
maintenance of tens of thous
ands of pit privies by the State
Board of Health engineers and
field men, and once constructed
will afford the householder a
safe and sanitary means ot ex
creta disposal for some five or
ten years, at the end of which
time it may be transferred to a
new pit and so on indefinitely.
A comparison of the approved pit
privy with the open-back, sur
face privy shown below and
a careful reading of the fol
lowing paragraphs will enable
the layman to see the inestim
able value of the fly-tight, san
itary privy to a home not pro
vided with running water and
sewers.
The transfer of filth diseases
from person to person almost al
ways involves the careless dis
posal of human excrement. Plies,
other insects, and animals hav
ing access to fecal matter carry
it from place to place. Flies
transfer particles of it to the
kitchen and the dining room
table; chickens carry It to the
soil about enclosed springs and
well platforms, where split wat
er washes the excreta into the
well, or it is carried to the bot
tom-on the well bucket; storm
water carries it away into the
children’s playgrounds, or into
the vegetable garden. Every case
of typhoid fever, diarrhea, dy
sentery, and many other diseases
means that the victim has eaten
human fecal matter containing
germs of these diseases. How
simple it is to control these filth
diseases by providing a means
of disposal such as a pit privy
where no other sanitary facili
ties are available.
The death each year in North
Carolina of 1,875 people of di
seases that could be easily pre
vented is a terrible license to
pay that filth and insanitary
conditions many prevail. As aw
ful as is the loss of 1.87B lives
each year, largely because hu
man excreta is not properly dis
posed of, the deaths from filth
diseases do not represent the
full measure of suffering for
which they are responsible. The
deaths represent only a small
fraction of the number of cases
of sickness attributable to these
diseases. It is generally accepted
by health workers that only ap
proximately 10 per cent of all
typhoid cases are lost; that only
about B per cent of all dysentery
cases result in death; that diar
rhea is fatal to only about 3
per cent over and 10 per cent
under two years of age. respec
tively, of those persons stricken
with the disease. Each year,
therefore, in North Carolina a-
lone the filth diseases are re
sponsible for between 21,000 and
22,000 cases of sickness, exclus

Good roads and better cars cut driving costs

But gas tax diversion is sending us back to high

already done millions of dollars damage to our
