SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1943 The Good That Can Be Done Citizens who are at times resentful of the interferences of governmental agencies, must at other times be pleased that such a gencies, the Person Health Department, for example, do function. Case in point is the reported malaria epidemic at Chub Lake, which at the request of the ’erson Health Department is to be the object of special study by specialists from the State Depart ment. It is to be hoped that the State Depart ment’s investigation will disclose methods whereby the cause of malarial conditions will be removed. Removal of the cause pro bably stagnant water and carelessness on the part of some of the inhabitants of the Lake region, must come first, with the cure of those who are now victims as second problem. Local physicans are quoted as saying that malaria at Chub Lake is nothing new, that there has always been a high pecent age of cases in the region, but it is pei’haps a good thing that the State Department in vestigation may wake the people up to the fact that malaria is as preventable and in excusable as typhoid fever or smallpox. Malaria is not necessarily a fatal disease, but it does much to drag down and break physical stamina. We commend the Person Health Depart ment for its immediate recognition of the fact that malaria at Chub Lake must be e radicated. The epidemic condition is now for the most part confined to the Chub Lake area,Tbut unless it is checked at the source there is every possibility that the disease will spread. The Anopheles is not particu lar: all it wants for a breeding place and home is a spot of stagnant water. An un punctured tin can is a mosquito palace and we have no doubt that many such are avail able in Roxboro and in Person County. The Type Os World Johnny Will Come Home To Having previously and in the same place made a plea of our own for a proper under standing of the mental attitude likely to be found in Person and Roxboro young men who someday will be coming home from the world’s battles, we were immensely pleased with words on the same subject voiced at Thursday’s Rotary meeting by a guest speaker, the Rev. A1 Martin, Jr., who is known here as a student of theology and philosophy, but now stands revealed as a man versed in such kindred subjects as soci ology and economics. •Martin strongly intimated that respon sibility for world order and for postwar ad justment all up and down the line lies as much with small and individual communit ies such as Roxboro and Person County as it does with state and national governments and the leaders thereof. And that is another way of saying that what we do here forms a part of a pattern, a pattern ultimately reflected in such larger and seemingly re mote gatherings as Peace Conferences. Right, too, was Martin’s injection of the degree of personal responsibility falling up on Roxboro and Person County business and civic leaders in seeing that our young men and women will be able to find here jobs commensurate with their war-devel oped abilities. It is not enough that return ing heroes and fighters be praised for past accomplishments: they must be made to feel that they are to have a place in the re making of the world that they are now fighting to preserve. The military job happens at this moment to-be uppermost in the minds of all citizens, but while the fighting goes on in Italy and in the South Seas it is not too soon to be gin planning for and working toward the inevitable new world that is destined to ap pear. It is this new world, as well as the loy alities of the old, that spurs our fighters forward. Getting Started On The Right Foot Scheduled to appear on Tuesday at first meeting of Roxboro Central Grammar School Parent-Teacher association is Farris Humphries, Person World War 11 veteran of Pearl Harbor fame. Speaker Friday night at a similar gathering at Bushy Fork was Charles Spencer of Raleigh, a State De partment of Education official who is a be liever in physical fitness and playground rec reational programs. Held last week was yet another school program, likewise the first of the season, at Helena, where the social aspect was emphasized. So much, by the way of a resume of meet ings held, is typical of other Parent-Teach er meetings that have been or will be held in an inauguration of the new school sea son, but what impresses us now is the fact that the Associations seem to be getting off to a good start. It is a new and refresh ing that Humphries is to be at Central School, where he will be able to impress up on parents and teachers his really vivid re collections of the Pearl Harbor episode, and it is not less refreshing to think that Spen cer, with his zeal for a sound mind in a sound body, has left Bushy Fork citizens with a new realization of the importance of the relationship between physical and mental well-being. Encouraging, too, is the proposal of the Bushy Fork Association that the better part of its Association budget for the year will be devoted to building up the book collection of the school library. More in the to-be-ex pected line was the social emphasis of the Helena gathering, but that emphasis also has its place, particularly, if many of the teachers and officials are new. As one whose business it is to report as much as possible concerning various school gatherings, we are now somewhat hopeful that P. T. A. meetings of the future will be producers of benefits for the schools con cerned rather than formulators of narrow minded loyalties. It is right that each As sociation should be proud of the school it represents, but if the work which represents that pride is good enough there will be no need for pumped-up publicity, a form of self-seeking and vanity that decieves no body, least of all the readers of a household journal. And while we are about the business of P. T. A., we might issue the reminder that parents are fathers as well as mothers and that the male influence, with no discredit to those of the opposite sex, is now, in this day, more needed than ever in school af fairs. 1 ■ ] WITH OTHER EDITORS • ] The Law Restated News And Observer 1 Congress is properly jealous- of its con- ] stitutional rights and prerogatives. It is res- j entful when the judicary or executive branch undertake to usurp its functions. By the same token it ought not to invade the constitutional rights of either other equal branch of government. That is what those Congressmen did who voted to kick Lovett, Dodd, and Watson out of office because it had been alleged at one time that they be longed to some organizations that would undermine the sort of government we have in the United States. As soon as Congress assembled the Presi dent notified them that these men would not be discharged from their positions because the Act of Congress was “unconstitutional.” Without the knowledge of the President, I on the day before a Federal judge had held that not“ unless the danger to the govern- 1 ment is real, impending and imminent” is there authority to abridge the constitution al rights of a citizen. This is the latest re statement of a sound principle of law. There was no pretense that either of these gentlemen had any “real, impending and im-_ minent” purpose to overthrow the -govern ment or to change its organization. It was well known that they were working in gov ernment positions—and doing good jobs— and every personal interest would cause them to wish to keep their jobs in the gov ernment. If they ever entertained the vag aries attributed to them, there was no proof in court of it such as is required before any American can be declared guilty and pun ished. PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO.
