Every freeholder can do much to make his or ber premises mors attractive, and, without waiting upon committees, let's get busy, as in dividuals, and proceed to do so. THE EVER CHANGING FRONT IN BATTLE AGAINST DISEASE It is a fact that many of toe dis eases which presented serious prob lems to the physicians of a few score years ago, or even twenty-five years ago, are today no longer important. On the other hand, other diseases were' unknown or certainly unnamed and unrecognized even twenty-five years ago in cms state at least, are today looming op as important prob lems. If for no other reason, the fore going is sufficient to require of every health officer or health employee, state or local, experience, tacnichal training and efficiency as the prime requirement for employment. To men tion only two diseases at present that may hold serious menace to this state and which were not problems 26 years ago, we may cite tularemia and un it is true that undulant fever has been known as Malta or Mediterran ean fever for a long time, but for many years it was regarded largely aa a disease of the tropical countries, and not one about which people in the temperate zones or northern latitudes should bother about. Today this dis ease is regarded by many thinking physicians about over the world aa a disease that may become as important aa typhoid a generation ago. Lb some respects the disease is worse than typhoid, in that it is so debilitating. The cfaronieity of the attacks, lasting - frequently as long as fiyj or six years, with intermissions, of course, puts in the class with some types of malaria. It is debilitating, painful and even if the patient lives through it and en tirely recovers, the loss in health and strength as well as the economic loss is of great importance. It is not known at present whether the pas teurisation of milk prevents the dis ease. It is thought that it does, but it is by no means agreed upon by people who are in the best position to know. It is not even known def initely in just how many ways the disease may be transmitted to hu mans. The general opinion is that it eomee from milk which is from in fested cows, mr from po?k in' which the hogs were infected. There may be other ways. The disease was regarded as a disease of goats, and aa being transmitted through goafs milk when it was first discovered. It is none too soon-for the health officers at this state to begin informing the' people so that they may be thinking in terms of jn'fwntiny the disease. In the case of tularaemia, or rabbit disease, it was unknown in humans in this country until 1919, when it was iarmgafsert by doctors in the U. & pJJf* health service and had isolated the organism which causes this dis ease as early as 1911, bat no recog nised cases were transmitted to ku pSmns in this amntry until 1919. There were only fifteen caacs reported opto 1944. The New York City health bulletin, however, is authority for the lrtfcfc MfioU (OB On Thursday evening, February fO, b at eight o'clock, Mr. Stallings, well- n known violinist of Wilson, assisted by ti Elbert Holmes, our. ?wn "Caruso,'' and e the Farmyille Choral Club, will give if a concert under the auspices of the h ; Farmville Woman's dub.

The health officers of several coun ties in which whole-time health de partments are active, headed the or ganization work and examined large numbers of school children through the auspices of the parcnt-teacher as sociation. This work waa notably in Wake County and a number of other counties. - , The nurses from the bureau of ma ternity and infancy of the state board of health brought abcmt the examin ation of more than seven thousand children in the clinics which they con ducted on a county-wide scale. The director of that bureau reported last year that more than sixty per cent of the defects discovered in the pre school clinics had been corrected be fore time for the children to enter school in the fall. It is hoped that the clinics as con 1 ? J 1 i. -1 ?Ml 1?

It is easily possible to have these efforts made in every one of the hundred counties in North Car olina in order to give every child be tween five and six years who may have been suffering from any serious physical handicap an opportunity to have such a handicap removed before the opening of schools thisofall. For the information of any parent teacher association or others interest ed agency, we take pleasure in an nouncing that all available assistance possible will be furnished again by the State Board of Health.
