Christmas Is Spent
Quietly Here
Woodsboro, Texas.—The two
Christmas holidays in Woodsboro
(Sunday and Monday, December
25 and 26), were spent quietly, as
far as the press could learn. There
were no serious automobile acci-
dents reported, nor any other type
of accident1 that is usually preva-
lent at this season of the year.
The fire _ department also was at
rest, with no calls being sent in
to spoil their holiday festivities.
Many citizens took advantage of
the two-day rest and visited with
relatives and friends out of town.
All business establishments were
closed, with the exception of a
few cafes, service stations and the
drug stores.

Your Health
Austin, Texas.—“Guard against
syphilis” is the slogan of national
social hygiene day, to be observed
throughout Texas on February 1.
The day will be marked by meet-
ings to highlight campaigns
against syphilis and will focus the
attention of the public on vital
steps in the conquest of syphilis,
according to Dr. George W. Cox,
state health officer.
Evidence of interest in the forth-
coming event, the third annual ob-
servance in the current attack on
syphilis, point to a larger demon-
stration than those of previous
years, Dr. Cox said.
Increased activity and interest
on the part of official and volun-
tary health and welfare organiza-
tions, civic groups, service clubs,
women’s organizations, churches
and schools is expected.
Defining the objectives of the
1939 attack in terms of the slogan,
these points were said to underly
present national, state-wilde and
community planning in social hy-
giene:
Guard against syphilis by tell-
ing the American people about this
dangerous disease—How it can be
prevented and cured.
Guard against syphilis in youth,
the age of greatest incidence, by
strengthening the efforts of church,
home and school to provide better
facilities for sex education, char-
acter development and preparation
for marriage, and by correcting
community conditions which may
threaten the health and) welfare
of young people.
Guard against syphilis in mar-
riage and childhood by encourag-
ing good laws—and their observ-
aice—requiring examinations for
all those about to marry and for
all expectant mothers.
Guard against syphilis by at-
tacking quackery, an arch-accom-
plice of disease.

Future of Farms in
Hands of 4-H Clubs
After watching more than 1,300
farm boys and girls march reso-
lutely through the eight days of
the 4-H Club national congress in
Chicago recently, winning blue
ribbons right and left, observers
are more confident about the fu-
ture of American agriculture. They
are banking heavily on the million
or so youngsters in the 4-H or-
ganizations to solve problems of
the farm.
While raising pigs and baby
beef, breeding pens of lambs, and
improving farm furniture, the 4-H
Club members, especially those in
the older age range, are tackling
larger agricultural problems. They
are considering questions of financ-
ing farm lands, of making farm
inventories, problems of trade
agreements and their effects on
farm prices, and other economic
and sociological phases of agri-
culture.
