Contributing Editor That Justice May Ever Have A Champion; That Evil Shall Not Flourish Unchallenged. Entered at the Postoffice at Warren ton, North Carolina, under Act f Congress of 1878. And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come alter me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.? Mark , To improve the golden moment of opportunity, and catch the good that is within our reach, is the great art of life.? Samuel Johnson. We welcome the addition of a new member to our family journal?Howard Fedd Jones III, 9 3-4 pound son born to Mr. and Mrs Bignall Jones on Monday morning. Brother Bignall, as you know,] was a former editor of this newspaper and still renders us valuable service in the capacity of a columnist and linotype operator when not con-| fined to his grist mill. LABOR HAS A RESPONSIBILITY The necessity for making organized labor equally re-' sponsible with organized capital, when the issue is joined between them, becomes more -py-rim flflV tf> HflV RS appax ciiv xi vm VCL?vT w """^i labor disturbances accompanied by violence continue. It is a situation which comes perilously close to mob rule, when groups who purport to speak for labor demand that every possible legal restraint be placed upon employers, but that no legal authority be exerted against the employees, however lawless their acts may be. Liberty for the individual or for groups has never meant any such one-sided arrangement as that. It is a longestablished and well-understood principle that the freedom of the individual is limited by his respect for the rights of others, and that every citizen is responsible for the consequences of his^ own acts. The same rule surely applies to groups or organizations. It is difficulty to undei*stand the objections voiced by labor leaders to the proposal that their organizations be incorporated, should submit their financial records to official public inspection, and should maintain a reserve which would make them financially as well as morally responsible for breach of contract or lawless destruction of property. Their reluctance to accept such a program gives inenvitable rise to the suspicion that their real motives are not what they publicly profess to be. WARREN'S HEALTH PICTURE NOT PRETTY In another column of this newspaper is printed an article from the State Board of Health depicting the benefits which come from a county health department, accompa nied by a map which shows the counties which are and which are not receiving the advantages which this service offers. Warren county, which is without this service, is conspicuous in its location among a group of counties which realize the importance of improving the health of those who live within their borders Warrenton. North Car ~ and have provided county health departments to improve sanitary conditions, aid 1 at child birth, vaccinate against diseases and render many other services for the good of the public. Warren's position forms a sad picture. Diseases are as prevalent here as elsewhere in the state, our mortality rate among infants and expectant mothers is high, deformities are often apparent on our streets, and yet, Warren, which in the past furnished leaders in the halls of history and on the fields of battle, which today prides itself on its financial standing, which boasts of old families and an enlightened citizenship, rerpains lethargic when it comes to spending $3,000 for this service. Aside from the humanitarian element, to our way of thinking a health department would be the wisest investment from the standpoint of saving money that this county could make?a saving of lives, a saving in school expenses, a saving in our jail and court costs. It is the sick as a rule who commit crimes, become county charges, and retard progress. If the thoughts of a mother writhing in pain because she is unable to pay for medical attention, a child going through life deformed because of improper attention at time of birth, or a friend or an acquaintance suffering from some disease which may have been prevented, tails to move this county to take advantage of the services which a health department renders, then the knowledge that the past legislature passed a law requiring all domestic servants to be examined and present a health certificate showing that they are free of contagious diseases should cause all those who have | cooks and nurses to demand ii health department in the name of economy. The majority of the taxpayers of this county employ a servant, either as a cook or a nurse. The law says they must be examined. As the servants are usually without sufficient funds to pay for this examination, it will mean in most cases that the employer will have to foot the bill. To pay for this service individually it would probably cost at least a dollar or two. To have it done through a county health department would hardly cost each taxpayer more than a penny or so which, of course, would be taken care of in the tax levy. | A health department for I Warren county has been advocated by the Lions Club of Littleton, the Lions Club of Warrenton, and the State Health Department which pays a part of the expense. We trust that the commis ! sioners will allow for this j service when they make up their budget. j ^H'MAN WITH A \ i BURNING AMBITION^/ ~Jj DON'T NEED T' <j?| WORRY BEING /Z __ >Un* THJ MAP SHOWING DISTRIBU HEALTH DEPART JULY 1,193 District Health Df S3 County Health Dei O City Health Depar CD No Organized Heal Full Time Hea Availal Dr. Carl V.

Reynolds, State ' Health Officer. Since January 1, : he said, fourteen counties have been added to the list, giving the , above total on July 1. This means that 78 per cent of the State's pop- , ulation now enjoys the benefits of full-time, organized health service, while 22 per cent, or 701,066 citi- . zens are without its protection. Counties that have taken advan- i itage of full health benefits since i January 1 include: Anson, Burke, Caldwell, Cherokee, Clay, Greene, Transylvania, Hyde, Tyrrell, Wash- ] ington, Johnston, Martin, Chatham : and Stanly. Added to these to , make the group of 65 complete are: Avery, Watauga, Yancey, Beaufort, Bertie, Bladen, Buncombe, Cabarras, Columbus, Craven, Cumberland, Davidson, Duplin, Durham, Edge- , combe, Forsyth, Stokes, Yadkin, , Franklin, Gaston, Graham, GranUriiio niiilfnrrl Halifax.

The full-time county health programs are under the advisory supervision of the Division of County Health Work, State Board of Health, of which Dr.. R. E- Fox is the director, and this Division maintains close contact with local units at all times. Points Out Benefits In making the announcement of these latest figures, Dr. Reynolds, who said that still more counties would be coming in from time to time, points out some of the defi- ; nite benefits that accrue to organised units snmmariziner these as follows: i "The statistical records of births, i deaths and communicable diseases | are collected, tabulated and analyz- < ed. This information is utilized as 'a yardstick in measuring the health and progress of the community- j ' "School health supervision is pro'vided, including the physical exam- ; jination of children for defects. I While an organization is maintained for the detection of physical de'fects, such defects are corrected by I competent physicians of the area enjoying the health service. Local health organizations provide immunization service for the control of smallpox, typhoid fever and diphtheria. j "The health service conducts an organized program to reduce maternal and infant deaths and sets up a tuberculosis and venereal disease program, conducted in cooperation with the local medical profession. In combating these two , diseases, no community can ade- j . quately provide complete service j without following the cases through until they are arrested or cured.

"Public health nurses on the: staffs of the local departments visit the homes of children who are absent from school because of communicable diseases and in whom physical defects may be found, take such steps as may be necessary to prevent the spread of disease and encourage the correction of physical defects. Service to Expectant Mothers ! "Nurses also make visits to the homes of expectant mothers, in prenatal care, encouraging physical ex- : aminations and securing the servi- * ces of regular licensed physicians for the period of confinement"Permeating this whole program," , Dr. Reynolds declared, "is the idea j of public health education, carried , Dn by organized health service, in i the form of both mass and indi- 1 vidual instruction.

How Counties Are Assisted H ? ? J- - I I isuuauuraung wiwi A-M.. AWJUVAIUO, a in presenting the benefits referred to in connection with organized health units, Dr- Fox said: "The State Board of Health has at its disposal funds for helping all C the counties of the State to establ- C; ish full-time local health service, K provided these counties are willing ' to make an adequate appropriation of local funds to match State and 0 Federal funds for carrying on such services. When inquiries in regard a to this matter come to the State a Board of Health, information per- t' taining to how this cooperative undertaking can be established is giv- P en, and when requested by interest- g ed groups or officals, representa- g tives of the State Board of Health f' appear before such bodies for the f; purpose of explaining in detail the ti ways and means of providing health ti service to the citizens of a county, or group of counties, as the case 0 may be. n "In "counties having small popu- c 1 - r! ?

I 'WAY BACK WHEN by Jeanne Bag, il# STAR PITCHER WAS A COTTON PICKER TEROME HERMAN (DIZZY) J DEAN was born in Lucas, Ark., in 1911. Son of a poor cotton pickar, he was forced to quit school when he reached the fourth grade, aecause the family was so poor that the 50 cents a day he could earn in ;he cotton fields was a necessity. Under-nourished, poorly clothed and uneducated, as he was, Dizzy Dean always had confidence in himself. Perhaps that explains why he was able to develop what small advantages circumstances in life allowed him, and develop them to :hampionship quality. Confidence and a strong right arm hardened in nAiinn uv*re Dizzv's COUip mc cirtwu -w merit for facing life. He learned to throw a baseball with amazing speed and controL In 1929, he was signed up by Don Durtiss, scout for the Cardinals' Texas league. The salary was comparatively small, but it looked like a fortune to the former cotton picksr. After training in Houston, he was shipped to St. Joseph, Mo., where his confidence and fast pitching won 17 games. Transferred to Houston, he developed rapidly and soon became star pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. Meantime, his orother Paul, or "DafTy," also won a pitching berth on the Cardinals. Dizzy was always the more spectacular, the higher paid, and the more widely publicized. He has endorsed many advertised products, made a motion picture, appeared in vaudeville, and spoken over the ralio. His recent earnings have been 540,000 or more per year. ??WNU Service.
