Dr. Sharpe Says Public Health
Work In State On High Plane
RALEIGH, Jan. 9. N|o State
in the Union 'has made a greater
contribution to the advancement
of public health than North
Carolina, Dr. W. K. Sharpe, Jr.,
Director of United States Pub
lic Health Service District No.
2, told (students attending the
State Board of Health’s orienta
tion course for emergency per
sonnel yesterday. “We are trem
endously interested in this pro-!
gram”, he said, “andl we have
pledged Dr. Reynolds our co
operation.” Reference here was!
to the orientation course which,
if it proves satisfactory, will be
recommended to (other State 1
Health Departments as a means
of meeting wartime needs and
recruiting new public health per
sonnel for the post-war period.
Explaining the relation of thei
United States Public Health Ser-i
vice to State health departments, J
Dr. Sharp emphasized that there |
is no attempt made Do exercise ’
any supervision from Washing-1
ton and that the fact that funds'j
are allotted to State and local
departments does not mean that
they -re told what' to do. The!
United States Public Health Ser-j
vice simply seeks to help and in
no case to dictate, he continued.
It -“--‘ss not until 50 years age 1
th? —federal department had
an> power to cooperate with
Slates, he said, and then it was
only in the matter of helping to
control the spread of communi
cable diseases.
It was not until 1935 that the
United States Public Health Ser
vice was in a position to do very
much for the States, the speaker
went on. At first it secured an
appropriation of $8,000,000 for
distribution among them. The
amount was raised to $9,500,000
and later to $11,000,000. How
ever, he told the public health
students, it is for the State heal
th Departments and not the fed
eral agency to say what shall be
done with funds allfotted, distri
bution being based on three
principles: Population, special
health problems and economic
needs. When representatives of
the United States Public Health
Service are assigned to work
with State or local health de
partments they are subject to in
structions from State health of
ficers and must c/cnform to the
procedures in the territory to
which they ae assigned.
Discussing the progress made
by the North Carolina State
Board of Health. Dr. Sharp re
ferred to an interview, in which

I it was pointed out by Dr. Carl
I V. Reynolds, State Health Offic
! er, that the population must be
safeguarded against the spread
of milk-borne diseases during
■ the present emergency. He bold
' of Dr. Reynolds’ pioneer work in
j behalf of safe milk many years
ago when he was health officer
in Asheville.
The one great concern of pub
lic health puist now is the war
1 effort, Dr. Sharp declared, ad
' ding that all other interests have |
been subordinated to this great
' task, which must be given con
-1 stant attention 24 hlours a day, l
seven days a week.
After reviewing the work of
the North Carolina State Board
of Health, the speaker declared
it has made greater progress!
since 1935 than during any pro-,
vious quarter of a century.

j Farmers of North Carolina
j will have until December 31,
j 1943, to complete practices under
j the 1943 AAA program due to
j be a change in the closing date
of the program year, it was an
nounced today by H. A. Patten,
Acting State AAA Executive as
sistant.
The closing dabs' for the 1942
program was November 1, he
said. However, this was extend
ed until November 15 last year
for the purpose of seeding win
ter kgume crops and spreading
soil-building materials, provided
the seed or materials were in
the county by November 1. The|
extension of time was granted
because of unusually heavy rain
fall at the time when these prac
tices normally would have been
carried out'. |
Change in the closing date iofj
the program year was announced
at Washington and is effective in j
North Carolina and other states;
of the AAA’s East Central Divi- j
sion, Patten declared.
‘Extension of the closing date!
to December 31 will serve as a
distinct advantage to many,
farmers, particularly in carrying
out late practies such as seeding
winter legumes and spreading |
lime and phosphate”, he said.j
‘'Many farmers this year will be
delayed considerably in carrying 1
,cut their normal farming opera-!
tions because of a shortage of
labor, and this change will al- j
low them time to complete their,
practices after most crops arej
harvested. At the same time, it]
will bring the closing date a-,
round to the end of the calen-l
dar year.
For the current year, Patten!
said, farmers will have a total 1
period tef fourteen months in j
which to carry out practices for ,
which units may be earned un
der the 1943 AAA program,

When Irene got home from the I

Her private name for it was “My j

Young Lambs
Saving a high percentage of
the new lamb crops and getting
them ready for an early market
is one of the important
jobs of the North Carolina farm
er, according to Dale C. Snod
grass, animal husbandry Exten
sion specialist of N. C. State Col
lege.
By folDcwing a few simple,
well-established practices, the
I sheepmen can be sure of success
with his young animals. Slnod
grass lists some of these practices
as follows:
Have the ewes in a good
strong, thrifty condition before
lambing, and be sure that the
flock is securely separated from
other stlcck, especially hogs.
Do not disturb a ewe at lamb
ing time, unless she needs help,
but be sure to stay on the job.
Carelessness may mean the loss
of a lamb. See that the young
lamb nurses and does not become
chilled. Should the ewe lisown
her lamb try to get her to claim)
it. |
Gradually increase the feed
given to the ewe after the lamb
is atfcut one week old to stimu
late the flow of milk. During
lambing time, the ewe should be
housed at night and during bad
weather.
If a newt born lamb becomes
chilled, take it to a warm rqom
and put it in warm Water up to
its neck. After the young animal j
is warm, take it out of the water!
and dry it thoroughly before!
placing it with the ewe in a:
warm dry place.
Watch young lambs cDusely
during the first ten days for such
common ailments as constipa
tion, diarrhea, and “pinning." For
digestive troubles, give the lamb
one teaspoonful of castor ,-il or
one tablespoonful of milk of
magnesia.
Dock or castrate the lamb
when from one to two weeks
old. The ram lambs can be cjcck-
