C, MARCH Camp Fire Girls Meet The Camp Fire Girls held a very interesting meeting on last Tuesday evening the count showing all present but three. The money is in hand for the National dues, and now there remains but one of the seven re quirements to be met before th. girls may receive their first de gree that of "Wood-gatherers". This requirement is that each girl make her own head band of bead, weaving into it her individ ual symboj. Our girls expect to win an ad ditional "big honor" by making their own bead looms. The first eight steps in physi cal culture have been given and were practiced out of doors last meeting. The girls do exception ally good work of this sort and are interested in all kinds of out door sports and are planning great things in Basket Ball for this season. The guardians and girls were much pleased by a visit from two ladies one of whom donated one dollar toward the general fund. Mrs. Tucker Stainback, who received the first degree of "Torch Bearer" in the Camp of which she was fcrmerally amem ber, expressed her willingness to be an honorary member and her knowledge of the work and promised assistance were hailed with delight by the Guardians. 1 hi Guardians received a let ter from Headquarters saying that the birthday of the Camp Fire Girls would celebrated by sending gifts to Beglium. The local Camp is responding with a complete outfit for an infant, each girl contributing some one article. ' Some people wear glasses because they can't believe their own eyes. In order to join the great si , lent majority a man must either die or get married. 17, 1916 COUNTY HEALTH OFFICERS ENDORSED BK DOCTOR Meeting of Halifax County Medical Society at Roanoke Rapids Last Thursday Goes on Record in Favor of Whole Time Health Officer A BIG STEP FORWARD At a meeting of the Halifax County Medical Society he'd at Roanoke Rapids on Thursday, . ...... . i ti ' went on retoru wiiuie-neai u-uijr in favor of a whole time health officer forJHalifax County. The Society intends to petition the proper authorities on the first Monday in May for the appointment of a man fully quali fied for the position. His duties would be to make periodic exam inations of the children in the public schools, to have entire supervision of the sanitary and disease prevention work in the county. The Halifax County docters want a health officer who will give his whole time to health work pure and simple and they believe the salary paid to such a man would be one of the best investments the county could possibly make. Counties all over the State who have tried the whole time health officer plan have been immediate ly converted to enthusiastic endorsement of the idea. The Halifax County Medical Society is to be commended by the people at large for the support which they haue pledged to the movement to secure a Health Cfticer for the county. Cockroaches Carry Disease Filth and Cockroaches are an unmitigated household pest, as all good house wives will agree. Ihey are alio j dangerous as carriers of disease. They will feed on almost any dead animal matter, food-stufi's, iand cereal products of every kind. It is also asserted that ) they will eat their own cast-off skins and effects cases and that they attack and eat other species of roiches. They also eat on !znaw woolens ar.d leaii.er andi trequently do much damage to j book bindings. They are ea-1 pecially fond of the paste or siz ing in cloth bound books. I But the damage by roaches is by no means confined to the amount of foods they comsume, but is found in the fact that they pollute and render nauseous and dangerous every kind of human food, everything with which hey come in contact. Wherever roaches run in large numbers, they create a fetid, sickening odor which clings persistently 'to pantry and kitchen shelves and furnishings and which can only be removed by a thorough cleasing with soap and boiling water. This odor comes partly .from the excrement, but chiefly as due to a dark colored Sexuded from the mouth of insect, with which it stains its runway?. It comes also from certain glands which secrete an lily liquid, which possesses a ery charactistic and disagreable bdor. As a thoroughly effective and simple means of ridding one's demises of roaches, the United UtatpR Denartment of Agriculture (ecommends fumigating with lydrocyanic-acid ga3. This gas, wwever, is extremely dangerous t.to human beings, but with pro fper precautions may be used I with safety. Pyrethrum powder . n i .i - i no' rany ueu is anoiuvr rtuicu f suggested by this department, but it is not given as an alto- $ nether perfect remedy. Mrs. J. A. BUckman Mrs. J. A. Blackman died very suddenly Tuesday morning about 8 o'clock. She was in apparent ly good health and at the time of her death was attending to her household duties. Subscription, Tow Atfacks Fly Problem The town of North Wilkesboro has set apart this week and next, March G to 18. to clean up and exterminate the house-fly-to kill him before he gets here. Mr. H. W. Horton, manager of North Wilkesboro's Anti-Fly Camuaiem believes that nrenared- ness against the flv's arrival in i the spring is the best way to keep him away in the summer. He says; "One fly destroyed now is better than a thousand killed in June or July," and it's . V : : on this principle .vir. iiorwn proposes to work his campaign and rid his town of flies both now and this summer. That not a single fly may escape Mr. Horton will distribute over the town 500 fly swatters with the request that every fly that has survived the winter be swat - ted this week, and to the person t who presents the first pint dead house flies, he will At i,o in gold. To the next f ve pre senting a pint of dead tlies. h will give $1 each. Mr. Spainhour the Mayor offers $5 in gold to the pt . ion getting together the largest pile of rub bish, filth, tin cans and trash, and $1 each for the next five piles.
