told of the year she spent in Scot

Praising the Rotary program for
exchange students, Miss , Smith
said this program is working won

ships among students and adults
the world over, giving individuals
the opportunity to learn, first
hand, about neighbors from across
the seas.
In opening her talk Miss Smith
gave a brief description of Aber
deen, Scotland, pointing out it was
the third largest city in the coun
try. It is an industrial city with
fishing and granite minirig being
among the chief industries. Aber
deen has many facilities for recre
ation and the Scots,:; Miss Smith
said, enjoy sports of all types. In
connection with sports the speakei
pointed out the Scotsman apparent
ly participates, either as a player
or fan, for the sport itself. It is
evident, Miss Smith said, the Scots.
man is not as competitive in sports
as an American.
Chief agriculture crops grown in
Scotland are grain and turnips
however. Miss Smith said only
about one-fifth of the land is till
able. Livestock production is also
a major program in and near Aber
deen.
Despite tales to the contrary, ac
cording to Miss Smith, the Scots
man has a joyful living. His
standard of living is not as high,as
in America.and his diet lacks fresh
fruits and vegetables but every
body apparently thrives on .their
six meals each day.
f Educational facilities Scot

excellent and the student receives

who show the aptitude for further

Issues Warning
Due to the extreme high water
accompanying Hurricanes Connie

weeks, Dr. B. B. McGuire, District
Health Officed, has issued the fol
lowing warning concerning family
water supply:
Due to the likelihood that a
number of wells in the District
Health Department have been sur
rounded by water from the rivers
and larger streams, all water from
these wells should be boiled for
some time before used for drinking '
purposes due to the possibility of
typhoid and other diseases being I
carried along side the pipe to the!
bottom of the well from contamin
ated water.
"While we have no known ty
phoid carriers on our records," says
Dr. B. B. McGuire, "it is still pos
sible that water go thoroughly con
taminated could carry such germs, j
"If 'your well has been surround
ed by water from such streams and
you are behind with your typhoid
vaccinations, it is advisable for you
to take typhoid vaccine. It can be
given by your private physician or
at the various health offices In this
health district"
