J IK NATIONAL MAOAHNBS j Atlanta* Ga., October l?-"Not Magic ? -Just Mind and Muscle" is! the title ot' an advertisement of the Southern Railway System, appearing in the October issues of a number of leading magazines with nation-wide circulation. This is the first of a se ries of advertisements to be run by the Southern for the purpose of tell ing the story of "the South 's wonder ful progress and present day oppor tunities to people living outside the South. r , <? These advertisements will appear in -publications having a combined Simulation of more than 9,000,060 in cluding Saturday Evening Post, Lit erary Digest, Forbes Magazine, Re view of Reviews, World's Work, Harper's, -Golden Book, Scribners, Atlantic Monthly, Rational Geogra phic, American Magazine, Nation's Business. ';i \ ** The text of the first advertisement reads as follows: "The Sou ih? the nation 's Winter playground ? is setting n,ew high | marks in the story of American achievement. For, notable as are the South 's friendly climate and genial hospitality, it is on her farms and in her workshops of industry that these marks are being made. "In the last twenty five years the value of things made in the South has increased fivefold; and the value of tilings grown fourfold. "Such "growth and progress sug ests the magic wand, but it is the magic of mind and muscle ? of hard work intelligently applied. The people of the South are making good use of the rich- and varied resources that nature has bestowed upon them. % ' ' But the industrial and agricultur al progress of the South is still in the first act. The years of greatest < opportunity and achievement lie ahead.'.' In eaeh advertisement it is stated |< that the Development Scivica <jf the 1 Southern. Railway System will be glad j 1 to aid in securing industrial, farm or home sitej in the South for thoso I * desiring them. A BOOST OUR APPLES t! Henderson ville News. Henderson county, even all West- 1 crn Carolina, should initiate and ob- ' serve "apple week." We observe ev ery oth?r kind of a day or week thai; the propagandists can hatch out hut thus far wo haven 't developed any propaganda to take care of the mil lion or more bushels of apples in Western Carolina, where they grow as fine as nail be produced anywhere. Henderson, county alone has an ap ple crop eonesrvatively estimated ut one hundred and fifty thousand bush- ' j els.. The fruit growers are not in ai( position to economically take care of'< the unusually large crop. Production has outgrown the marketing end. Co- \ operation has been shown it^ econo mical production but this is only a circumstance to what will eventually be required in storing an,d marketing. The fruit growing possibilities of Western Carolina have only been dreamed* about. The product is famed" far and wide for color, flavor, size and general character. Production is en the increase and quality is im-j proved yearly. During the past year about forty five thousand trees were, sprayed by Henderson county or-j ohardists. Western North Carolina should eat' more of this king of fruits. The ap ple possesses a food content that should ,;five it a more prominent plac-i in the dietary of the average family. The apple needs its propagandists and with the view to stimulating more general use of the apple The News has arranged to run a series of prac tical cooking recipes that should prove helpful in converting some of our abundant fruit crop into palatable and wholesome foods. ONE COMPLETE VACCINATION FOR DIPHTHERIA ENOUGH / There has been, brought to my at tention the considerable scare in cer tain parts of the county concerning reported Diphtheria., As health Offi cer of Jackson county I am taking advantage of this scare to tell you where your children stand in the fight for eradicaiton of diphtheria. If your child was vaccinated in the campaign against Diphtheria four" (4) years ago it is practically safe for life and I woilTd not advise re- vacci nation, of every child for Diphtheria. I am quoting below statement from the North Carolina State Board of Health's Magazine which is en-( tirely dedicated to the eradication of. Diphtheria in the October 1926 edi tione page nine is as follows: --"When the Toxin Antitoxin isjn jected underneath the skin it causes nature' to immediately begin produe- j ijig in the system a natural anti-toxin. This natural antitoxin is produced very 'slowly and one injection is gel ?? ? " . 1 1 ? , ? v dom sufficient to cause nature to pro duce enough Antitoaa^o protect the child. It usually takes three of these injections which are given at intervals of onfe week. After ; this nature continues making in the system this antitoxin for at least six months. That is, it takes six months, after- vaccination for the full effect of the vaccination to be produced. "Experience has proven that three injections are sufficient to fully pro-i teet 85 percent of those vaccinated.! "Hence after 6 months the ' ehild should have the Schick test. If it is one of the 85 percent which is fully ptotected then that ehild is safe the rost of its life. If it happens to bo one of the few where three injec tions were not enough then that child should have three more injections to complete the immunization. ' ' "Diphtheria ean be prevented by vaccination and the only reason chil dren die of Diphtheria is because parents fail to take this simple and sensible precaution. " , "Most of deaths from this disease occur in children un^Jer 10 yrs. of ag\ In fact most of the deaths are in children under 6 years of age ? and death In children over 10 is very rare." I urge every parent in this county to write the North Carolina State Board of Health for this free literature on all contagious diseases and maternity eare. It comes every month and a postal will. bring it. It is like "Uncle Sam's" Big Gun. Ali they want is your address. GROVER WILKES, M. D., Health Officer Jackson Co. -o- ?

CATHEY, 10-20- 2t. - c,erit BLAST AWAY FOG \TO HELP AIRMEN The nroblem of providing safe land ing -conditions for airplanes during foggy weather promises to be solved by a new application of electricity de vised by United States Government engineers, says the North and South Carolina Public Utility Information Bureau. A path 1,000 feet high and 2,000 feet wide has been cleared and kept clear of fog by the new system, ac cording to reports. The method consists of a blast, of air, drawn by an airplane propeller through a series of corona screens and then discharged against the fog. The air, electrically charged by its passage through the screens, causes the fog to be precipitated. As long as the device is in operation on the flying field, drifting fog will disap pear as soon as it enters the radius of the electrical draft. , A large truck, upon which are mounted the propeller, a dynamo, transformers and screens, can be moved about and placed, to eombat the fog most effectively. ? - ? o B.
