of the public. Scarcity of labor is

He was followed by City Health

the hope that when the campaign
has ended the city will boast
high state of cleanliness and sani-
tation.

Clean-Up Campaign Is
Making Good Progress
City Officials Declare
The clean-up campaign inaug-
urated last week has made con-
siderable progress, and vacant lots
and alleys are being cleared of
weeds and rubbish. As a result
of grass fires caused by over-
enthusiasm of some residents, the
Volunteer Fire Department has
been rather busy, but no appre-
ciable damage has resulted to
property within the city.limits.
City officials express their ap-
preciation for the cooperation that
is being shown by citizens in mak-
ing the city ssa nitary as well as
more pleasing in appearance.
There is considerably more to be
done along the lines suggested in
the recent proclamation of Mayor
Erwin, and by doing so pVomptly,
may be the means of preventing
any serious outbreak of infectious
maladies.
.f N. Taylor, of the Sanitary
Engineering Division of the State
Health Department, arrived Fri-
day in response to a call from
Mayor Erwin, to help in the cam-
paign. He is assisting in organiz-
ing and, making effective the
cleanup and health improvement
campaign now in progress.
One of his first utterances upon
ai rival was to issue the follow-
ing statement for publication:
‘The State Department of
Health comments the city of
Teague for having instituted a
city-wide clean-up week and with
your city officials urges all citi-
zens to cooperate to the fullest
extent in this program. The suc-
cess of such a program will de-
pend upon each individual house-
holder inspecting and correcting
all insanitary conditions existing
cn his property. This local health
program is being carried out for
the purpose of preventing the
spread of poliomyelitis, typhus,
dysentery, malaria, and dengue.
Rats and flies ate two of the
principal transmitters of disease.
"Probably no other animal in
the world lives with less justifi-
cation than the rat. It has been
estimated that a single rat in a
year’s time will eat and destroy
$20.00 worth of food and property.
In addition, the rat and his para-
sites transmit Bubonic Plague,
typhus fever, rat bite fever, in-
fectious jaundice, trichinosis, and
food infections. Evidence has
been accumulating from laboratory
experiments that the rat may have
a part in the transmission of an-
other dread disease—infantile
paralysis.
“In regard to infantile paraly-
sis, Dr. Geo, W. Cox, State Health
Officer, has made the following
statement: ‘until recently it was
general!^ believed that infantile
paralysis was transmitted by
means of discharge from the res-
piratory tract. It ja now believed
that it is primarily another of the
several gastrointestinal infections.
Therefore control measures must
emphasize clean-up campaigns
and improvements in sanitation.’
"Rats, mice, and flies are good
travelers and a health hazard In
one section of the town may af-
fect the well-being of persons in
another section. Each household-
should give consideration to
following items:
"1. Proper disposal of human
waste. Sewer connection is safest
Toilet bowls should be kept clean
and free from fouling. Privy
vaults should be tight, and the

scrupulously clean and at a reas-
onable distance from the house.
“4. Control of rats and mice.
Keep food away from rats. Place
baited traps in rat run-ways.
Close up all rat openings. Sup-
port a community-wide rat pois-
oning campaign.
"6. Protection of water supplies.
If a private water supply is used,
see that the casing and or curb-
ing is tight and that the well or
cistern has a tight cover. If the
quality is questinable, have a
sample submitted to your city
health officer for 'analysis.
“6. Control of mosquito breed-
ing. Examine premises closely
for standing ystcr. Destroy all
mosquito breeding places.”

The Teague Jewely Company
last week celebrated the ex-
clusion of its twentieth year of
service to Teague patrons, having
come .here in AugusV. 1928.
The store is operated by Mr.
and Mrs. Wallace M. Coats gnd
Jno. F. Wallace, who happened ,to
be now ill in an Austin hospital.
Mr. and Mrs. Coats came here
ter their marriage and entered
business here with Mr. Wallace,
who is an uncle of Mr. Coats.
Throughout the years the com-
pany has served the B.-R. I. Rail-
road as watch inspectors efficient-
ly and the community and adjacent
territory well and favorably with
jewelry, silverware, and a general
line of other commodities akin to
the line, with the addition of ra-
dios and radio repairing.

the hope that they may witness
many more anniversaries here.

were given to bring out the truths
concerning the kingdom of God,
apd the Pharisees easily perceived
that they were intended especially
for their benefit. *
A kind had extended invitations
to guests to attend this import-
ant event. It was a signal honor
to attend the wedding and be
guests at the banquet which would
follow./ The recipients of the in-
vitation treated *the request with
contempt and made light of it,
and went about their usual voca-
tions, one to his farm, another to
his merchandising. Their actions
were not only impolite to their
sovereign, but insulting to the
highest degree. The feast, how-
ever, was not a failure for want
of guests, messengers were dis-
patched into the highways and
the banquet hall filled.
One embarrassing moment came
when the king entered to greet
his guests. One had neglected to
put on the wedding garment.
These were furnished by the host,
and there could be no excuse for
breaching this well known cus-
tom. He had deliberately failed,
no doubt believing garments
of his own choosing, the
more preferable. The intruder was
cast out. Men cannot choose the
manner of their salvation. Christ
is the only way and men
must accept His plan, and not at-
tempt to substitute any other
plan, the minister stated. Only
one way, the way of thex^ross.
Our duty is to accept th«Kjnvi-
tation which has been made hpi-
versa). It is the purpose of the
gospel to extend this invitation
to every one, and the opportunity
to accept it drill continue until, in
the wisdom of God, the king shall
return again. We too, said Rev.

City Health Officer
Appeals to Citizens
For Cleaner Town
To the Citizens of Teague:
The officials of our little city
are trying to cleanup some object
ionable conditions in Teague for
the benefit of the public.
Should the Mayor or City
Health Officer call upon you to
correct some* irregularity on your
premises, if you will just think tpr
a moment, you Will realise that
it is not for hia indiviaual benefit
that he is making the request that
you correct some hazard
aaginst the public health, but in
the interest of the health of your-
self and your neighbors.
Last week-end we had,with us
A. N. * Taylor from the State
Health Department, inspecting
some conditionirT* * existing in
Teague, and we found quite a
number of menaces to health that
should be eliminated, and they can
be if the people care to try to
safegurad their own health. We
found most of those Upon whom
we called willing to lend their co-
operation in correcting the ha-
zards they are maintaining. But
there were a few who seemed to
think we were meddling in their
pjjvate* affairs.
If those who are responsible for
these conditions should develop a
case of polyomyelitis or typhus
fever in their families, then they
would realize the necessity of im-
proving their sanitary conditions.
There are a number of
sink and bath tub drains em-
tying into the streets and on the
premises that are a nuisance.
These are producing flies and ob-
noxious qdors, and are among the
things that can end roust be cor-
rected. If you are not located
where you can connect with the
sewer, other arangements can be
made to take care of these drains,
usually with very little expense.
Thre are a few hog pens that
do not meet the requirements of
the City Ordinance, which require
that a hog pen contain 1600
square feet for only one hog. We
all know that a hog pen cannot
be kept sanitary, but one six to
twelve feet square with one to
three or four hogs in it cannot be
correrted.
Editorial of the Week
DRAFTING FATHERS .
All married men' with children
have recently been asked to fill in
a Selective Service questionnaire
regarding their family status so
that the Selective Service board
ckn reclassify them. This is be-
ing done to carry out the recent
order for drafting fathers.
Those men who are not in es-
sential Industries and who are un-
der 88 years old will be classifi-
ed as 1-A. But this does not
mean that they will be called im-
mediately. In fact, it has been
specifically ordered that they are
not to be taken until all non-fa-
thers in the state who are eligible
have been called. Furthermore,
no drafting of fathers can begin
prior to October 1.
On the questionnaire are a num-
ber of questions about family in-
come and means of support. This
information is required in order to
aid draft board in deferring those
fathers whose families would suf-
fer undue hardship if their core
tribution to the family income was
cut off.
At present, it seems improbable
that many fathers will be drafted
before the end of 1943. The heads
of the Selective Service system, in
spite of the new ruling to permit
drafting men with., children, are
still determined to postpone this
action as long as possible.
