POET AND PEASANT “I notice that someone has been at work on the road in front of the I Lnion depot,” said the Peasant. "Yes,” replied the foet, ‘‘but they J certainly haven't done much good. A , few loads of dirt have been put out fhcre and last Tuesday a drag was drawn across it.” “I understand that Chief of Police Brown was rather peeved at what you had to say last week in reference to the road,” said the Peasant. “There seemed to be a misunder- j standing,” said the Poet. “I gathered J my information from what I thought J an authentic source, but I later learn ed that instead of promising to keep up the road, Chief Brown merely ask ed permission to place cinders on top of the dirt in order to keep it from being brought over on the street. It is hard for the man in charge of the highway to bring his drag across the railroad and turn around, I think that is the reason it is allowed to get in such a bad condition. The only remedy, and the thing to do to this piece of road is to pave it or place tar and gravel on it. Of course it is rather a short piece but experienced road men could fix it in a very short time/* FIRE CONTROL WORK STARTS HERE _JULY 1 Execution of agreement between commissioners of Warren and Wash ington counties and the Department of Conservation and Development for the beginning of forest fire control work on July 1 will bring the total of North Carolina counties voluntarily undertaking such a program to 44, it was learned here today front State Forester J.

Alexander county which was work ing under a short-term agreement with the department in the control of fire is reported to have renewed the work for the next year, and Jackson County has also renewed its agree ment for the next fiscal year. Caldwell and Hoke counties will make larger appropriations available for an in creased scope of the work.

OPENS DISEASE WAR BY FREE VACCINATIONS Free vaccinations against typhoid fever, diphtheria and smallpox will be given every Friday afternoon after July 5 by Dr. Claudius McGowan, it was learned here yesterday. Dr. McGowan will cooperate with State authorities in an effort to de crease the number of cases in the State among these special diseases dur ing this summer and fall. These dis eases are prevalent nearly every year. Now is the time to secure this maxi mum protection, according to health officials. The old idea which never did gain credence among reputable health of ficers, that summer is not a good season to be vaccinated against small pox, has been forgotten. Any day in the year is a good time to be vaccinat ed, they aver. Only two classes of peo ple who should not be vaccinated are dead people and those who have ex perienced a recent successful vaccina tion. Citizens in Washington county are uiged by county health officials to co operate with Dr. McGowan in his cam paign against these diseases by bring ing their children to him or carrying them to their family physician and hav? ii.g them protected against these dis eases.
