SANITARIAN SEEKS
COOPERATION FOR !
CLEAN SWIMMING !
The Sylva Municipal Swim
ming Pool is now undergoing re
pair am* being put into first class
shape prior to its opening, sched
uled for Saturday, May 31. Oper
ators, Jimmy Keener and Hal Wil-^
son are busy cleaning up, painting
and scrubbing. The City authori
ties have engaged a plumber to
open drains, repair pumps and re
store the chlorinator to proper
working order. A test kit is being
purchased that will enable the
operators to keep a constant check
on the disinfectant content of the
swimming water. The authorities
are making sincere efforts to do
their part in operating a safe and
sanitary pool for the community.
An educational program -is being
introduced to the boys and girls
by the Health Department, through
various junior organizations in an
attempt to teach the children to
appreciate the privilege of being
able to use a supervised pool.
Mimeographed copies of "Personal
Regulations," as recommended by
the United States Joint Committee
are being distributed to the Boy
Scouts, Royal Ambassadors, Camp
Fire girls and similar organiza
tions. Leaders and Supervisors of
such groups can do much to pro
mote an appreciation for sanita
tion with the individual and there
by gain the desired cooperation in
making our city pool a safe and
clean place in which to swim.
A copy of the regulations are
printed here. Parents of all chil
dren who use the pool can aid by
talking these regulations over with
their children.
Personal Regulations
1. All persons using a swimming
pool must be required to take a
cleansing shower bath in the nude,
using warm water and soap, and
thoroughly rinsing off all soap suds,
before entering the pool room or
enclosure. A bath after donning a
bathing suit should not be permit
ted.
2. A bather leaving the pool or
enclosure for any reason should
take a foot bath before returning.
A bather leaving pool to use toilet
should be required to take a sec
ond cleansing bath before return
ing.
3. All bathers should be in
structed to use the toilet and par
ticularly to empty the bladder be
fore taking cleansing bath and en
tering the pool. .
4. Any person having any skin
disease, sore or inflamed eyes, cold,
communicable disease must be ex
nasal or ear discharges, or any
eluded from a public swifnming
pool. * \
5. Persons having any consid
erable area of exposed sub-epider
mal tissue, open blisters, cuts, etc.,
should be warned that these are
likely to become infected and ad
vised not to use the pool.
6. Spitting, spouting of water,
blowing the nose, etc., in the pool
should be strictly prohibited. Both
ers should be instructed that the
scum gutter is provided for expec
toration.
J7. All bathers should be in
structed that blowing the nose to s
remove water is likely to force in
fectious matter into the sinus and '
inner ear cavities and possibly |
cause serious consequences.
8. Divers should be advised to
wear rubber caps over the ears or
to plug the ears with greased cot
ton to prevent infection of the ear
drum and passages by water forced
in by concussion.
9. No boisterous or rough play,
except supervised water sports
should be permitted in the pool, on
the runways, diving boards, floats,
platforms, or in dressing rooms,
shower rooms, etc.
10. Suitable placards embodying
the above personal regulations and
instructions and those relating to
suits and towels should be con
spiciously posted in the pool room
or enclosure and in the dressing
rooms and offices at all swimming
pools. At a number of boys' club
pools the boys are required to
memorize tlge rules for safety and
sanitation as a prerequisite to use
of the pool.

Flour and feed bags have long j
been used by thrifty rural house- '
wives for making house dresses,
aprons, and children's clothes, bed
spreads, draperies, luncheon cloths
and towels. The first stej1 in using !
one of these bags is to remove the J
black printed letters that labeled
it, and textile specialists of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture list
the following directions:
- 1. Srub bags with hot water and
laundry soap. This often removes
nearly all the ink. The rest usual
ly disappears if bags are boiled in
soapy water for half an hour and
rinsed. A chlorine bleach may be
used to take out the last traces of
black.
2. Wet a bar of laundry soap and
rub on the dry bag until it is en
tirely covered with a thick layer
of soap. Roll up the bag and let it
stand several hours. Then wash
and boil if necessary.
3. Soak the bag in kerosene
overnight. Then wash ? first in
lukewarm water, then in soapy
water?and rinse thoroughly.
4. Cover the black print with
lard or soft petroleum jelly, rub
bing the grease into the fabric
thoroughly. Leave overnight to
loosen the black, then wash in
cently reported by plant scientists
5. Boil bags in water with sodi
um hydrosulphite or other dye re
movers, which may be purchased at
drug stores. Follow directions given
on the package. Rinse well.
A generous serving of fresh
strawberries will, on the average,
supply the recommended daily
quota of Vitamin C, a study re
