WINSTON
NEW
HEALTH OFF
Winston-Salem Journal Writes
Appreciatively of Dr.
Thames
' " The Winston-Salem . Journal of yes-
terday had the following editorial on
that city's new health officer, Dr.
John Thames, of this city, under , the
' heading, "Our New Health Officer:'
"Dr. John Thames should have
smooth sailing in Winston-Salem. The
way has been well paved for him.
-""Most any man who is reasonably
well fitted for the work should find
it easy to follow Dr. Kinyoun. For
Dr. 'Kinyoun has laid the foundation
of an efficient Health Department
.deep and solid in this community.
Winston-Salem will, never be without
a whole-time. Health Officer, and as
the months and years come and go
his work will grow easier. For most
of., us have now learned something of
what it takes to make and maintain
a Health Department worthy of the
name. It has taken Dr. Kinyoun on
ly a few months to teach us that
much.
"We haver learned that adequate
equipment and force are necessary
to enable the Health Officer to ac-,
complish anything worth while. To
some of us the lesson was not . a
pleasant one, but we have learned
it just, the same. Never again in this 1 1
community will . responsible men j
throw up their hands in holy horror jS
when the city authorities talk about
spending a few hundred or a few, 3
thousand dollars more or less on the
DronTotion of the public health. For!
the hard-headed
Winston-Salem
business men of ; EE
have found out that 1 3
the one best investment the city can
make is an investment in the lives
and health of. its people. In other : s
words, most of us have learned that s
J. I, mrJ lu imLuvututo uuuu
jnal returns to keep the city clean
and make and maintain for it a re
putation of being a healthful place to
live in.
"Yes, any man should find it easy
to carry on the work which Dr. Kin
youn must turn over to other han4s
the firstor October. For it is now
assured that he will take up his dut-"
ies with the almost solid co-operation
of the people of Winston-Salem.
We are certain that Dr. Thames will
find his task here a pleasant one. For'
he is in every way well equipped for
the position. He has had many years
experience. r His efforts as Health
Officer in other communities ' have
been crowned with success. This is
especially true of his work in Wil
mington and New Hanover county,
where he is now located.
it would, mqeed, nave been very ;
difficult for Winston-Salem to have
found a man who, in our judgment,
is better fitted than is Dr. Thames;
for the job that awaits him here. He'
will come to this city with no new !
or pet theories of his own, but, likej
Dr. Kinyoun, he will put those theor-j
ies . into effect here which have long
since been approved both by science;
and practical experience in other!
cities."
TWO AUTO ACCIDENTS
Two Machines Were Badly Damaged
Today, But Occupants Unhurt.
The desire to demonstrate how
dexterously he could handle a car
caused Henry Clemmons, colored, to
run into a telephone post at Sixth and
Red Cross streets and do considerable
damage to the car he was driving. The
telephone post that was struck was
torn down'aifiTthe live wires were left
dangling in the street.
The negro works at Fennell's garage.
He" stated that as he intended to turn
into Sixth street from Red Cross that
he noticed a Ford car standing in the
center of the street and to protect the
occupants of . the smaller machine he
ra.n into the pole. The negro was driv
ing an Overland car. He was taken
into custody by the police and was
charged with exceeding the speed limit
as a number of the onlookers stated
that he was' going fully 40 miles an
hour.
Just preceeding this accident a Prin
cess street car ran into the automobile
of-Mr. B. R, Felton when he endeav
ored to cross Princess street at Sixth.
No damage was done to either Mr.
Felton or to the other passengers in
the car, but the automobile was badly
tern up. It was stated that the Prin
cess street car was in charge of an . in
experienced motorman.
