BOARD OF HEALTH
Urges That Cities and Counties
In North Carolina Ban v
Carnivals , ,
. ! (By Max Abernethy)
RALEIGH, May 29. The state
board of health is making an effort
to ring the death knell of carnivals
and ether tented shows of this na
ture in North Carolina. To this end
Dr. Knowlton, of the bureau of ve
nereal diseases, is sending" out a cir
cular letter to the boards of health
and city and county authorities of i
every city and county in tho state ad
vising that they have the right under i
the law to prevent such attractions
as carnivals irom snowing in a
county. : -
Communities Take Step
The letter calls attention to the i
fact that Durham, Raleigh and some
of the other communities of the state
have already taken this step and that
the authority under which the ordin
ances were passed by. these cities is
equally applicable to every county In
the state. If the county commission
ers? or the town authorities of any
community do not want to exclude
these traveling attractions, the au
thority to do so is vested in the board
of health, vwhiph may, prevent the
shows from exhibiting . under ' the
health regulations." v V
, Durham county, health authorities
recently passed ari ordinance against
stich'tittraetiona becausaofHie fear,
that it, would "help, spread influenza
anVl .other ; communicable diseases;
While the ;law was passed as an in
fluenza, measure, it has been con
tinued on the statute books, and the
state board of health endorses mak
ing it a part of the' permanent laws
of the county In which that particular
board of health has jurisdiction:
That the carnivals can do a commu
nity Mttle good, and are the poten
tial agencies for a good deal of dan
ger both in. the moral influence they
bring with them and in the spread of
communicable diseases, is the opin
ion of the state board of health. The
board "would hot regulate the morals
of the people of North Carolina, but
they do believe it is a serious mistake
to allow the health of the community
to be put in jeopardy by these trav
eling attractions. ,
- Fighting, Disease in State
The bureau of veneral diseases is
approaching .... the proposition - purely
from the standpoint of that disease
which ft "is fighting in the 'state. It
has abundant evidence on record in
Raleigh, that the spread of veneral
diseases is partially the result of the
visits of these tented attractions to
cities; especially that class of shows
which remain in one locality from
one to two weeks, or more. It is
pointing out this danger to the local
boards of health and suggesting the
remedy, which in this case Is the re
moval of the source of the trouble.
