Sanitation And Good Health By ROBERT L. CAVTNBS6 (North Carolina State Board of Health) "Last week,' at Bine Ridge As sembly, in the mountains of North Carolina, the Annual In terstate Sanitation Seminar was held, with the largest attendance of sanitarians and sanitary engi neers which has ever been pres ent. Without fanfare or press notice, some 325 men from Mary land, Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, the District of Columbia and the United States Public Health Service, discussed, for three days, many problems which so vitally affect our health and happiness in the modern way of life. It was truly an inspiration to have the privilege of sitting in on these discussions and hearing, first hand, how these public health workers have dedicated them selves to their fellowmen." "The central theme of the Seminar at Blue Ridge was San itation Education and Public Re lations. One of the highlights of the session was the program on 'School Sanitation Programs in Action.' Set up in the form of a panel discussion, a mock meet ing was held, in which the school board, the superinten dent, the principal, the. students, the parents, the teacher and the sanitarian were represented. It was showq that effective results could be easily obtained. Thousands of our North Car olina children have returned to schools throughout the State. Some of these schools are large, with all modern conveniences and facilities. Some are very small, and some have facilities which are completely inadequate, with many insanitary and un healthy conditions surrounding them. Let the people of North Carolina pledge to our future citizens, the North Carolina of tomorrow, the complete cogniz ance of the importance of the school environment. We must join hands and forces in a spirit of cooperation toward the bet terment of the sanitation in our schools. An unsafe water supply, unsafe sewage disposal, poor heating, lighting, ventilation, and unsanitary eating facilities , are not for the children on whom we must depend to continue this progressive way of life. There are thousands of our people who do not know the conditions. Here the role of Public Health Edu cation has its place. Your State and local Health Departments and the sanitarians of these de partments solicit the help of everyone in bringing our school lanitation to the very highest* mint possible. It will take team-1 work and it will make for heal thy and happy children. Sanitation is a part of our sveryday lives. Good sanitation and sanitation practices mean good health and happy living. Poor sanitation and sanitation practices mean filth, diseases and NOTICE North Carolina, iWilkes County, j In The Superior Court. Theodore Rush vs. June Slchultie | Rush.

It's a beauty from the front and it's a beauty from the rear! Wherever you see its "Silver Streak" styling?in city traffic, on the highway, or silhouetted at the curb?you know immediately that it's a Pontiac and some thing very special among automobiles. ^ And Pontiac's performance is equally unmistakable?thanks to Pontiac's great power plants, the straight eight or the six, and to the swinging driving conven ience of GM Hydra-Matic Drive.* Even though Pontiac is in a class by itself for beauty, for performance and for dependability, it is still the lowest priced straight eight in America! Why not come in soon and get the whole Pontiac story? SAFE-T-NEW DRIVER VIEWI Pontiac's wide, optically curved windshield, plus wider windows and slimmer pillars all around, gives you a new driving horizon. * Hydra-Mat ic Drive optional on all models at extra cost.
