HEALTH NOTES
AUSTIN.—Declaring that ma-
laria bids fair to be one of the
country's major health problems
under war conditions. Dr. G?o. W.
Cox, State Health Officer, has Is-
sued an urgent request for nil Tex-
ans to cooperate in the destruction
of possible mosquito breeding
places.
"It is inevitable that malaria will
continue to come into this* country
with the return of our veterans
from tropical countries,” Dr. Cox
said. "Since malaria i* spread from
lersen to person by the Anopholes
noseuito, it is a matter of grave
mportnnce that these mosquitoes be
exterminated. The quickest way to
do that is to provide them no place
to breed and multiply.
Dr. Cox pointed out that while
.the State Health Department is
‘‘carrying on an extensive malaria
^control program which is designed
to fill in or drain swamps, ponds,
and ditches, nevertheless every citi-
acn i? responsible for seeing that
hia own premises are free ffom
stae»ant water.
"Every bottle, can, or other rub-
bish which mny be a possible Wa-
Wt container in every backyard
should be either destroyed or bur-
ied.” Dr. Cox said. "Otherwise,
spring rains will fill them up, and
the deBdly Anopholes mosquito will Aubin will be hostess for the
find an excellent breeding ground." ~ i8r mpet'nK °f the Garden

War Department. Similar to the
Service Flag showing the number
of former employees in the armed
forces, the Employment Flag
designates the number of returned

But what about there gardens
for the summer? Well, you still
have lovely things to pick?
How about the gay and varied
Petunias, clambering and trailing
over the ground. It is too late to
plant the seed, but transplant small
plants. They are in shades of every
color, both single and double. The
large white ones are glorious and
cool in the summer gardens and are
pretty in the moonlight. Marigolds
will stay wth you ever so long, in
all shades of canary yellow through
deepest golden orange.
The Verbena will give you abso-
lute joy and satisfaction. Plant seed
or cutrings, they will grow unless
planted in shade or dampness. An-
other good favorite is the snap-
dragons. which grows freely from
seed. There are hundreds of fine
Zinnias, from the tiny ones to the
large curled and crested blossoms i
rivaling the cactus flowering Dnh-
lia. The more you cut your Zinnias
the more they bloom. They grow in
almost any soil, though they do best
in a loose, semi-rich soil with a
nice warm sun to draw them out.
If they suffer attacks of mildew,
dust with sulphur. Don’t deprive
your summer garden of beautiful
Zinnias.
The Portulaca with their bright
dainty tissue paper flowers spread
rapidly and form a warm carpet of
color in the barest and most diffi-
cult places.
Phlox will last ever so long. The
Perennial Phlox is very desirable,
though the germination is slow,
they live practically forever. They
grow 2 or 3 feet high and blossoms
are in all pretty shades.
FIRST PRESBYTERIAr/ CHURCH
Norton/AH.-it Third V
Rev. Robt. Mi McGehee.p. D. Pastor
Muy 0-13 has beep designated bj
our Church as "Christian Kmily
Week" and will be observed by
many of the Protestnn* •h
in the United States as “National
Family Week in the Church.” What
could be better for us ut this time
than to give thought and expression
to strengthening the spiritual foun-
dations of family living?
Certainly one way of doing this
is by attending church services as
families. The worship there will be
planned with this in view. Special
prayer will be offered for the ab-
sent members of our families. Sun-
day morning the pastor will preach
on “Worship in the Home” and Sun-
day evening on "Pure Gold.”
Also in celebration of this week
there will be Wednesday evening
at 7:30 a covered dish supper at
the Annex at which we hope every
family of our Church will be pres-
ent. After supper there will be a
brief devotional service and then a
period of fellowship and fun.
At the Mexican Mission begin-
ning Sunday the 0th a series of
meetings will be held with the Rev.
Mr. Gutiarus of Matamoros, Mexico,
assisting the pastor, Rev. F. P.
Rugerio, who will be down for the
week from Bay City.
The Deacons will have their regu-
lar monthly meeting Sunday after-
noon at 2:30.
The Fellowship and Seniors will
meet Sunday evening at 0:30 and
the Pioneers at 7:00. The Juniors
will meet Monday at 4:00 P. M.
Circles 1 and 2 of the Auxiliary
wili meet Thursday, May 10, at
3:00 P. M. with Mrs. A. J. McFar
land and Mrs. Duncan Ruthven, re-
spectively. The Business Women
have postponed their meeting until
May 17. It will be with Mrs. W. C.
Gray.

lay plans for our Vacation Bible
School. I partially announced last
Sunday that the School would be-
gin on the Uth of June but it seems
that it might begin on the 4th in-
stead. We arc planning for a great
crowd of youngsters during those
two weeks. We are wondering how
we can get the ones in the Federal
Housing Center in to our Church
every day. That needs to be solved
some way.
Last Sunday we observed Inter-
mediate Day in our Church and
several of that group had a part
in the morning service. Everyone
enjoyed their, program for they did
well. This Sunday is Young People’s
Day, but so many of that age have
gone. Most of you boys in the Ser-
vice would come in that category.
So I guess we will almost have to
wait a few months to have that
Special Day.
Well, I must bring this note to a
close. Let me remind you that Sun-
day Week, May 13th is Mother’s
Day. Better start planning for that
day now. Bye now. Preacher.
Before the problems ahead for the
Church and the world, we bow in
humility.
OUR PRAYER: God. make the
doers of this Church we have rais-
ed to Thee, wide enough to receive
all who need human love and fel-
lowship and a Father’s care; and
narrow enough to shut out all envy,
pride and hate. Make its’ threshold
rugged and strong enough to turn
back the tempter’s power. God,
make the door of this House the
gateway to Thy Eternal Kingdom.
