ment of I^iboi reported today.
Labor Commissioner Frank

below the June level totaling
767.300 in July, were down 1,600
from June but up 19.100 over
July. 1963.
Principal reasons for the July
job drop from June levels were
vacation shutdowns in many tex
tile mills and in one large electri
cal machinery firm. Crane said.
Textile mill employment dropped
1.200 below June and electrical
machinery firms showed a de
crease of 900. Other decreases in
cluded 1.200 public school main
tenance and custodial workers. 1.

ral agricultural stahili/ation pro
grams, 500 in transportation, 200
in machinery, and 100 each in
chemicals and ordnance and tran
sportation equipment.
Crane said tnese decreases were
counterbalanced by employment
gains in 11 other employment
groujis. Constrution firms, still
going strong with summer build
ing projects, added 1.400 employ
ees.
Retail trade was up 700, whole
sale trade 300. State and local
government agencies added 900
employees. Jobs were up 400 in
communications and public utili
ties. 300 in service industries, and

to an overage of 40.7 hours. Aver
age hourly earnings of $1-7.3
showed no change from June.
Weekly earnings dropped 87 cents
to a July average of $71.23 due to
the slightly shorter workweek.
Among men aged 45 64. the
death rate from strokes declined
by 22 per cent between 1950 and
1960. according to the North Ca
rolina Heart Association.

Sanitation: Way To Survive.
And Thrive Say Specialists
By JAMES B. SPEARS. R. S.
Sanitarian Specialist
Cleveland County
Health Department
If control of the environment
Is fundamental to man's health
and happiness, as indeed it is,
what controls are basic and
why ? Those necessary to attain
a high level of sanitation in the
food we eat. the water we diink.
the dwellings in which we re
side. and the air we breathe are
basic because they tire the fac
tors that provide the essentials
of life.
Traditionally, the control of
the sanitary aspect of these es
sentials of life has emphasized
survival *»f the fittest, notably
through the isolation of the un
healthy victims of epidemic di
seases. who died from the ma
ladies produced by pathogenic
organisms. But. today, sanitary
control of man' environment is
more than a means to survive—
it is a means to thrive. It is more
titan the control of the disease
producing organism itself — it
is the control of the environment
to the extent that disease pro
ducing organisms have a mini
mum opportunity to survive bo
cause they have been denied
their essentials of life through a
clean environment. They have
also been denied vehicles by
which to spread disease germs
to their most favorable plaee of
abode — the human body.
DISEASE CARRIERS
How are disease pr«»ducing or
ganisms carried from an un
healthy person? The air is one
means of spreading eommunica
ble diseases, but only on a limit
ed basis, and principally through
carriers, or by personal contact
of the healthy individual with
the unhealthy persons, and then
only when indifferent attitudes
and practices jv-rsist as to sani
tation and (HTsonal hygiene.
These are limited means of com
municable disease dissemination
in our society.
By far. the most common, the
most numerous, the most filthy,
the most obnoxious and the most
dangerous to health arc flies. It
has been proved that they trans
mit dysentery-, enteritis, typhoid
fever, tuberculosis, anthrax, cho
lera and smallpox. They are sus
pected as being instrumental in
spreading poliomyelitis, skin in
fections and diseases of the
eyes. They are no .-••specters of
persons and are found where the
environment is favorable to their
habitats.
The fly is very filthy in its
habits. They an* often found
resting on human foees, sputum.j
manure, garbage, decaying ani
mal flesh, and other forms of
filth, t'pon leaving these places
4th ARTICLE
IN A SERIES
they visit the kitchen where
i they walk on your biscuits and
pics, contaminate your milk and
other foodstuffs, and gather
around the lips. eyes, and nurs
ing bottles of babies. Flies’
bodies are so constructed that
filth readily clings to their hairy
bodies and sticky feet and drops
off when the fly lights. Filth is
also distributed through their in
testinal tracts — creating the fly
spei-s often seen on walls, ceil
ing and other places. These
specks are made by either vomit
or feces Would you think of put
ting filth and manure on your
dinner table? B> allowing flies
in your home, you are permitting
this to be done.
DEVELOPMENT
The development of a fly takes
from six to 20 days. First, a fly
lays eggs in groups of from 100
to 150 in decaying matter, usual-;
ly hatching within eight to 20
hours into small, whitish mag
gots. The maggots grow and aft
er five to 14 days change into
pttpae — seed like in appearance
and having brownish shells.
Within the shell the maggot
changes and finally emerges as
an adult fly. Maggots will de
velop in any moist, warm, de
caying organic matter regard
less of how filthy it is. Privies,
horse stables, chicken yards,
cow sheds, decaying fruit and
vegetables, compost piles, ma
nure and garbage are the most
common places of breeding.
However, in many city surveys,
flies have been found breeding
in garbage cans more than any
other places.
For the most part, flies remain
near the breeding place, but
large numbers migrate for great
distances, sometimes ten to 12
miles. Tests run by the U. S.
Public Health Service show that
the places they visit are not gov
erned by random dis|>ersal but
are determined by the presence
of attractants. such as d<*caying
! fruits, garbage, dog kennels.
chicken coops or manure. For
this reason large numbers of
flies may frequent a neighbor
hood, which has no suitable
breeding pla<-es, if attraetants
are present.
FLY CONTROL
Satisfactory fly control can be
accomplished by cleanliness. In
order to obtain satisfactory fly
control, these three important
things should be done:
1. Destroy breeding places and
attraetants by cleaning up all
filth. Use proper type garbage
containers.
2. Screen all homes, cafes,
abattoirs, meat markets, and
other food-handling places.
3. Use insecticides only after
breeding places and attraetants
are eliminated.
As has already been said,
cleanliness is essential in obtain
ing satisfactory fly control. No
accumulations of decaying or
ganic matter should be main
tained at a location accessible to
these insects. It is preferrable
that all animals be excluded
from the area. If this cannot be
done, the manure should be dis
posed of daily by hauling it off.
spreading it out thinly on the
ground where it can dry or stor
ing it in fly-proof containers. All
human body waste should be
disposed of in such a manner
that flies have no oppnrtunity
to come in I’ontaet with it.
Garbage should be stored in
fly-proof garbage cans approved
by the local health department.
Clean garbage cans weekly, and
keep them on a platform or slab
made of concrete or other im
pervious material. Vehicles haul
ing garbage should be covered
and cleaned thoroughly, and
treated with insecticides at dose
of days work. Garbage should
never be dumped nor left to de
cay at 'ome out-of-the-way place
near your home or that of a
neighbor, but should be buried
in a sanitary landfill. All privies
should he constructed and main
tained in accordance with the
specifications of the North Caro
lina State Board of Health
Ask your local health depart
ment for detailed instructions re
garding the selection and use of
insecticides in your area, and for
advice regarding other phases of
fly control. Your health depart
ment has an adequate supply of
Malathion available to give any
one who would come by and
pick it up. It is effective for fly
control.
