| Dorsey Not Against

j Former Mayor Now In Race Again
' Explains Policy On Sanitation
Within City.
* Conditions today are so changed
from those of three or lour years
ago that regulations of that period
are automatically altered to suit
conditions, according to W. N. Dor
sey, a former mayor who is a can
didate in Tuesday’s election.
During Mr. Dorsey's first term in
office he established quite a record
for improving sanitary conditions.
In fact, sanitation was one of his
hobbies. At that time he enforced
the city ordinance which forbade
the keeping of cows and hogs with
in the city limits. In a statement
today, however, he said that condi
tions have so changed that he
would not follow that policy now if
elected. He explained that with the
depression and unemployment situ
ation many families would be un
able to make ends meet unless they
could keep cows, hogs and chickens.
There will be no objection from him
he said, if they are kept in so long
as citizens keeping cows and hogs
keep their premises as sanitary as
possible so that they will not be
termed nuisances by neighbors or
draw the attention U the State
Health Department. In his final
public statement of the last cam
paign week he declared that he
would engage in no last-minute
tnud-slinging with liis opponents
but merely wished to clear up his
views on the sanitation matter as
numerous people, keeping or desir
ing to keep cows and hogs, had
questioned him as to his policy. He
also added that he would not make
a personal canvass of the manu
facturing plants of the city as he
would be unable to meet all employ
es if he did so and did not wish to
show impartiality by meeting some
and not seeing others.

Old Employment Service Method Is
Junked For New By Frances Perkins j
Labor Secretory Tears Up Republi
can-Created Machine In Fav
or Of Another One.
Washington. April 28.—Secretary
Frances Perkins has junked the Re
publican-created federal, employ
ment service in favor of a new ma
chine fashioned after the Wagner
bill which was vetoed in 1931 by
President Hoover
Miss Perkins said in making
known her intention to abolish the
more than 100 employment offices
scattered over the country, except
the veterans and farm labor divi
sions. that the service had “proved
to be too unsatisfactory to warranf
continuance.”
. Two Principles Cited
In outlining the new service the
labor secretary said these two prin
ciples would he toiler cd
• That the dlroe* operation "I
public PoipipvmeD' oitlcf.*- !- bes*
;done by the state and local govern
| ments.
"That the function of the federal
j government is to assist the state
and local governments to develop
and maintain and expand adequate
employment services with high
standards and common procedures
and to weld them together into an
effective nation-wide system.'’
Instead of the present 48 state
' directors, with some 100 direct
! placement offices, Miss Perkins will
have a dollar-a-year director in
each state to coordinate state and
federal activities, and to "clear lab
or among the states and collect re
liable and comparable information
with respect to the demand for and
supply of labor.
Several regional clearing houses
with field supervision are planned
with a national advisory < ounc-t!

Urges Isolation
Of Tuberculosis
Cases In County
\ Dr. Parker And J. D. I.meberger In
Charge Of Health Program. Give
Surprising Farts.
Isolation of active* tuberculosis
cases in the county was urged last
night at the Klwanis club by Dr.
S. P. Parker and J. D. Lincberger
who had charge of a health pro
gram. Startling facts were given as
to the prevalence of tuberculosis
and syphilis, both of which can be
cured or arrested if taken in time.
“In Biblical times, leprosy was
the most dreaded disease. The ‘un
clean’ lepers were isolated or mark
ed with a bell so that the clean peo
ple could avoid them. Yet leprosy
is not as contagious as tuberculosis
and right here in Cleveland county
we have active cases an>*ng chil
dren who sit In a close school room |
with well children, thus exposing!
them to the dreaded disease,” said
Dr. Parker.
Both Mr. Lineberger and Dr. Par
ker suggested that the buildings at
the old convict camp be moved to
the county home and there set up
a clinic for the treatment, of active
tuberculosis cases. They urged that
the active cases be isolated and
that the patients be given a few
weeks care and Instruction as to
how to prevent its spread to others.
