Is Planned Program And It Is Hoped To Do Away With Direct Relief, And To put Families On Feet. The local Federal Emergency Re lief office has eleven mules to be placed with as many fanners, as a part of the farm rehabilitation pro Lam undertaken throughout the United States, and will have more mules and pigs and cows before the spring season i* »ver. But it is no “forty acres and a mule” program that the Federal government is putting into practice like the carpet baggers pulled on the newly-freed negroes in the south In reconstruction days; nor does it smack of any such practices. It is a determined and planned program of the federal government to do away with direct relief and to enable any able-bodied man to make sustenance for himself and family, to become a part of the economic network of the country on a substan tial basis. The farm rehabilitation program, which will be the major part of federal relief this spring and the coming summer and fall, embraces a plan to put in the hands of small farmers, tenant farmers and city and town folk who want to go and should be on the farms, an op portunity to get started. They will pay for the mules, cows and hogs that they get from the federal em ergency relief office, but will pay for them as they are able; they will do their farm work along a well ordered plan and know next Decem ber 1st whether they are in the red or have broken even or made a Direct federal relief is a thing of the past in families where there is one or more able bodied men. The government will help them in an economic way, but straight out giv ing is a thing of the past. This sort of program is directed in North Carolina by George Ross and in Randolph county by Joe Ellis, young State College graduate and former farm demonstrator, a young man born and reared an a'Randolph coun ty farm and from one of the coun ty’s best families. He will be ably seconded by R. T. IJoyd, county federal emergency relief director, and by Ewing S. Millsaps, Jr., coun ty farm agent With the work these three men are doing for the farmers of the county by virtue of their connection with the federal government means that farmers in Randolph county who need assistance of one sort or an other are going to get it The CWA program in Randolph put out approximately $100,000 in cold cash, distributed among work ing people in all parts of the coun ty. Much good was done with this amount of money, though there are grounds for critics of the program to stand on. But the government was faced with a big job and did it quickly. There were flaws in it, no doubt as ail human agencies are not perfect Experience, however, has wrought a change, and the fed eral government is moving toward a more lasting relief. The relief work will not be direct ed in its entirety to farmers, but those city folk who need work and must have work and can’t get it elsewhere, will probably be taken care of under public works program, which will likely supercede CWA ac tivities when the change from one plan to another is completed. For instance, federal emergency relief workers are expected to complete street widening in Asheboro, finish the airport job and some incomplete jobs in the county.

Cause Of Public Health Advanced By CWA Activity Sanitary Privy Construction In Randolph Under CWA Was Great Sanitation Job. Many Filth Diseases Caused By Bad Sanitation, And Sanitary Privies Great Help In Fighting Them. The termination of CWA activities in Randolph County on March 29th brought to a cUge one of the most worth while programs ever undertaken on * county-wide basis, for with the passage of the Civil Works Administration into his tory therp was brought to .a.stand still the pit privy construction work that has been underway for the past several months. The pit privy construction activity has done much to advance the cause of public health, not because of the actual number of privies constructed to date for many more of them are needed, but because the people have become conscious of a need for greater cleanliness of the premises of individual households and for im proved community sanitation as well. In becoming conscious of a need for a better sanitary enviroment, the individual or the community is tak ing the first step in the great war against disease. The diseases that develop as the direct result of an insanitary en vironment are the so-called filth dis eases, chief of which are typhoid fever, colitis, dysentery, and hook worm disease. The geyms of the first three and the eggs and or ganisms of the fourth are expelled in large quantities in the bowel dis charges of an afflicted person and because of this fact, human ex crement improperly disposed of it a menace to the health of the citi zens of a household or community. Hookworms gain entrance to the intestinal tract of man through the skin and blood stream. Soil that has become contaminated with fecal matter from a person afflicted with hookworm is likely to contain my riads of these organisms and their eggs. In order for a person to be come infested with such terrible creatures all that is necessary is that the infected soil be trod by bare feet. The hookworm usually enter the body through the skin of the feet, producing what is commonly called “ground itch.” Once embed ded in the skin the organisms gra dually work their way into the blood stream and thence into the intestinal tract.. Once established in the in testines of a person, hookworm pre vents the proper assimilation of food and causes the victim to lose weight, vitality, and interest in practically everything. Hookworms sap the strength of a person, tear down body resistance and makes the victim an easy prey for the microbes of other diseases. Persona afflicted with hookworm are usually spoken of by their fellowmen, who are ignorant of the cause of their lassitude, as .be ing of no-account and good-for-noth ing. The drain upon the resources of relatives and the governments, state, and local occasioned by hook worm amounts to an appreciable figure each year. Children, because of the almost universal custom of allowing them to go barefooted dur ing the warm months of the year are especially susceptible to the dis ease. Typhoid fever, dysentery, and the other bacterial or germ diseases of the intestinal tract are usually con tracted as the result of a person eating or drinking the germs of these ailments. The transfer of germs from human excrement to the body of a well person is effectuat ed in a variety of ways. Flies have (Please turn to page 4) FormeMandolph Mamies While riving His Gar Addison A.
