AN INVESTMENT IN HEALTH Moore county has joined in the nation-wide campaign to eradicate syphilis. There are now three public clinics in the j county for the detection and | treatment of this disease: one | in Pinehurst, one in Southern; Pines, and the third in the office i of the County Health Officer | in Carthage. The Pinehurst din- j ic is operated by Dr. R. B.. Owens and financed by a volun- j teer group in that community. i The clinic in Southern Pines is! operated by the County Health Officer, Dr. J. Symington, and i his staff and financed by thCj Committee on Negro Welfare, a, ■ local volunteer organization.! The work in Carthage is a part; of the regular office routine ofj the County Health Officer. In addition to local financial sup- ^ Page Biddle of W'arren-1 Mr, and Mrs. Sherman Craven port these clinics are now re- ’ been a guest of her .=;pent last Sunday in Asheboro vis- ceiving some State and federal' Robert N.

Medlin were Statistics are not available^ making rapid strides | called to Zebulon last Friday on ac- at this writing from the Pine hurst and Carthage clinics but it may be presumed that they will show substantially the same picture as those from the Southern Pines clinic w'here it has been found that 30 percent of the persons tested are in fected with syphilis. Duiing the 19 months of its operation the clinic in South ern Pines has provided VVasser- iTiann tests for some 1,500 per sons. Nearly 7,000 free treat ments have been provided. Pa tients at the clinic come not only from Southern Pinos, but al.so from Addior,. Aberdeen, Carthage. ]\Ianly, Niagara, Cam eron and other points in the county. A few even come from points outside this county. By an arrangement with the Pine hurst clinic, which provides only one type o ftreatment, pa tients from that community are received and treated at South ern Pines, An added impetus to an already existing effort to deal with the problem of svphilis, particularly among the negroes, was given by th: enactment in 1937 of a State law. This law requires ihat all persons seuk- ing domestic employment must secure a health certificate show ing freedom from communicable di.seases. No person may ’oe le gally employed as a domestic servant, or in hotels and res taurants, or in dairies without a statement from a reputable physician that he or she is free from syphilis or, if infected, is taking regular treatments. Per sons under regular treatment Locally, the news has been both 'rood and bad during the passt w’eek. The good: Reduction in rates an nounced by the Carolina Power & I Light Company; “Jim" Boyd accepts presidency of Sandhills Steeplechase & Racing Association; Sandhills en joys summer weather. The bad: Corbett Alexander, pop ular horseman, breaks his leg when pony rolls on him; Duke loses to University of Southern California in Rose Bowl. 7-3, in last minute of play. In our mail bag: “Who is Sylvia? What is she?” (See Pilot editorial, signed “H, K. B.’’) Then when you find what’s in side here— Remember that bills come the first of the year. The small girl and Sylvia Will tell you what to do, And I hope a lot of others will dig down tool The “bill” inside was a five-spot. The letter was postmarked “Pine- burst.” Sylvia will have ag much joy out of disposing of her five as many would the same five with rows of trailing ciphers. Garrison Explains Effect of the Tobacco Defeat on 1939 Program “Since the Tobacco Control pro gram did not go over, a good many people are beginning to ask w'hat the program for 1939 will be,” says County Agent B, H, Garrison, Jr. “The Cotton progiam carried all right so there will be a limit on the amount of cotton which anyone can • market and avoid the tax. There' will be no control on tobacco and no sales cards will be issued next fall on the tobacco sales. Payments will be made on the cotton and to bacco to those who stay within the allotments set up for the farm. These will come under the Soil Conserva-; tion program just as they did in 1937 when we had no control on cotton and tobacco. The same soil building practices will be in effect for 1939, Seeding of lespedeza, ter racing work, thinning of timber, turning under or leaving peas on the land or turning rye green will all count again toward earning pay ments for practices. Those who have no cotton or tobacco allotments may still earn some payment by carrying out the above named soil building practices. This is of course in cases where the farTn has been signed up and soil conserving and depleting bases set up for the place. “Some time after the first of the year w’e shall begin to sign up any (additional farms toy whicb bases will have to be set up. Also to making changes where the owner ship of the place has been chaiigd. W'here a division in the property has occurred we should b6 notified about this unless the farm will still be operated on the same basis as before, “Payments under the Soil Conser vation program were easily earned and hope that as many as possibly can stay within the cotton and to bacco allotments will earn some pay ment this year. General bases were set up for all farms also. These bases cover all crops other than cotton and tobacco and the soil building crops. The penalty for over planting the general is not exces sive but takes that much out of the payment for the farm. It has been a practice in the county, and a good one, for a long time to plant com and peas in alternate rows. This makes the corn acreage count up too fast now, so we are advising that the corn be planted in regular width rows and peas sow'n at laying by time. This will still count all com and half credit for the peas, A few changes like this do not change the program for the farm a great deal and gives a great many people a chance to comply who possibly would not do so otherwise,” death of Dr. Medlin’s father . Mrs. S. E. Sloan had as her guests during the holidays Mrs. Scott Bark ley, Mrs. W'alter Atwell, Misi? Louis Barkley and Howard Russell of Statesville, Mrs. A. B. Ho.skins of Asheville and Lex Barkley of Mar ion. J. Walter Lambeth of Thomasville, former Congressman from the Eighth Dirtrict, spent last Wednesd.'iy in town, calling on friends. Miss Katharine Caviness of Lake- view visited her cousin, Miss Louise Caviness over the past week-end. Mrs. Thomas B. Wilder and Miss Mary Page spent last Tuesday in Greensboro, Misses Margar-et McLeod, Ruth Lawhon and Katie Lee Shear were shopping visitors in Raleigh last 5;atuiday, Mrs. Maud Wilkins ha.s rctui'ned from a visit with friends and rela tives in Richmond and PetersDui'g, Va, Mrs'.

A good start has been made in the county; but a great deal yet remains to be done before anything like an adequate plan IS in force. The minimum re quired for successful treatment of the disease is 50 to 75 w’eekly treatments. That means that even if every infected person in the county were under regular treatment it would be a year and a half before the disease was stamped out. Actually, how ever, the process must be a very much longer one than that, covering many years. Only as a community becomes deeply and widely concerned about the problem and makes careful, long-time plans can any success- “Best Poems of 1938,’’ just pub lished in England by Jonathan Cape, contains only a few' by Americans. But of the few', two are by Sandhills writers, one by Donald Parson of Pinehurst, author of “Glass Flowers,” published in 1937 and which ran into several editions; the other by Struth- ers Burt of Southern Pines, whose new book, “Powder River,” is now enjoying a splendid sale. The Bur't poem was titled, “Bloody Men.” As Mr. Par.ion’s sor.net, selected for publication, was not one of those appearing in his “Glass Flowers” we ire printing it herewith.

A successful plan w’ould re- luire unremitting effort, care ful education, the interest and '•ooperation of every per.son, anri considerable money. But all these would prove to be well ^pent, for there is no better in vestment than in the health of he community.
