Farm Relief Job
Getting Started
i In This County
cpveral Mules Already Receiv
ed For Placement Among
Fanners In Randolph.
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.

shed protection, timber production
elimination of fire bneards, and the
like, will be embraced in the govern
ment’s plan in devaluing the Uw
harries. Attention f# be given also
to public parka and scenic drive
ways.
Each individual tract of land in the
area will be surveyed and a value
arrived at No «land owner will
be required to sell, nor will there
be any condemnation proceedings.
What the government estimates as a
fair value will be placed on the
land and this price offered the land
owner. It is then up to the land
owner as to whether he wants to
sell. Should a men own and culti
vate a good farm within the area
embraced by the proposed forest and
desire to remain in possession of
same as a home and farm, such
man may do so, although the govern
ment would like to come into pos
session of any and all land within
the prescribed area. Mineral rights
may be reserved by those who sell
to the government.
Prior to the survey of the area,
aerial photographs will be made in
order to obtain a general view of
the topography, types of timber, and
to assist in the general plan for the
forest work to be done.

Postpone Drive To
Secure Funds For
Community House
At a meeting of the Community
Building committee Friday afternoon
it was decided to postpone the drive
for building funds until some later
date. It was thought that there may
be some possibility of securing aid
from the Federal Government if Con
gress approves additional funds fog
the Public Works Administration.
The Architect’s plans for the
building are practically complete and
some large donations have already
been subscribed. However, it was
felt that it might be of material
benefit to await developments in
Washington.
The committee is determined to
continue it’s work until the Com

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
