NOW THE Til T0 BEGII1
FIGHT ON MOSQUITOES;
"With the advent of August the
malarial-bearing mosquito be
comes more active than ever. All
that section of North Carolina
from Rowan County to the sea is
more or less menaced by this easi
est of preventable diseases. The
degree of danger dependsjBntirely
upon the intelligence andvigilancQ
of the individual communities in
their efforts at prevention.
Xow that the heavy summer
rains are probably for the most
part over, the hot days and nights
of the next two months mean that
anopheles mosquitoes will breed
by the billion.
The State Board of Health sug
gests that the people in every vil
lage, community and small town
(and city where there is no live
health department), take a day off
and see that every ditch, filled-up
branch or other place where a mos
quito delights to live, is thorough
ly drained and all the grass and
vegetation cleaned off. If this
simple procedure, coupled with
the daily small dose of quinine in
infected localities, were begun
now and repeated a few tiraesun-

of dollars could be saved ariii much
suffering could be easily prevented,

The afternoon session Mr. W.
D. Merritt appeared before the
commissioners with a letter fiom
a Mr. Holloway of Rtowan county;
applying for the position of Stan
dard weight keeper for the county.
It was decided by the commission
ers it was unnecessary to create
such an office in this county.
Mr. T. D. McLean, District
Demonstration Agent who has
charge of twenty-six counties of
Demonstration work irnel tiding this
county, addressed the commission
ers for about twenty minutes in
the interest of continuing Farm
Demonstration work in this coun
ty. Mr. McLean '& talk clearly
showed the value of Demonstra
tion work and how much it would
mean for Person county. There
were several talks- made before the
commissioners on this subject, and
after hearing all sides of the ques
tion, the commissioners adjourned
to another room and held a private
consultation with Mr. McLean. In
a few minutes the board returned
to the Clerk's nice and announced
that they had decided to make an
appropriation of $50 par month
for Farm Demonstration, which
is $10 a month more than the last
appropriation. As to the Demon
strator it is 'generally understood
that a suitable man, A. & M. Col
lege graduate probably, will be
sent here later in the fall.
There were sevien " applicants for
Road Supervisor and . after due
consideration being gi ven all, Mr.
Jl M . Pass was appointed by the
board at the same salary of $75
uef month. f " "
There were also' a number of
candidates for County Home Sup
erintendent; the number beinghve.
Mr; H. A: Gentry was re-elected
ffitr the coming year at the salary -of
$25 per month. , ' V
