THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT V ALLEY, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST, 13, 1925.
GEORGIA NEXT
Editor Leader-Tribune:
Nearly two hundred tourists a day
tell me things about Georgia. They
ought to be passed on.
This information is gleaned from
the vantage point of a filling station
recently erected on my property at
a popular corner in Fort Valley, on
Route 7, the most used route through
Georgia to Florida, over six hundred
cars passing daily.
The unanimous judgment of these
people is that in line of development
and settlement, GEORGIA COMES
NEXT,—provided, and nearly all
mention that proviso — provided
Georgia stops her narrowness, and
gives them the glad hand instead of
the “hands up” call.
A number of hotels in Georgia, so
they report, make higher prices to
tourists than to others—are not one
priced even to tourist*—naming high
prices and then lowering them when
particular objection is made. All this
leaves a bad taste, and doesn't in¬
vite people to Georgiri.
Nothing in the world suits every¬
body. All won’t like Florida. Many
will come back and stop in Georgia,
if conditions are right.
Another complaint is that so many
little towns in Georgia set themselves
up to regulate the universe, and won’t
let tourists got gasoline on Sunday,
or a cigar or a newspaper. Some of
these same towns will themselves
sell water on Sunday to the railways
and will let the big railway com¬
panies keep open on Sunday and sell
tickets, but won’t let the tourists get
gasoline. One is as much a part of
transportation as the other. One is
no more a violation of the Sabbath
than the other. One violates the law
no more than* the other. A town that
punishes tourists and its humble
citizens f or the identical things it
permits big and powerful corpora¬
tions to do with impunity, is not an
inviting place to prospective resi¬
dents Ljttle 'towns ought to reeog
nize that the world moves and little ob
struction will no more stop it
a stone will stop the running of
creek. Progress will flow around
obstruction—that's all.
This is Georgia's opportunity. Will
crawl into our shell and shut out
progress, or will we help make Geor
blossom as the rose? The ans-

HEALTH IS THE GREATEST
AS:ET OF ANY INDIVIDUAL
i
Georgfa Is a big state; she is a
great state; she is a growing state;
she is a state of wonderful possibili
ties and opportunities,
Health Is the greatest asset of an
individual, community, county or
state, Health, coupled with the nat
ural resources of Georgia, opens up a
most Inviting field. To possess health
we must constantly, vigilantly guard
every approach of our unseen ene¬
mies. The unseen and microscopic
germs, bacteria, bacilli are the things
that take us away, that change us
from a producing to a non-producing
community. Malaria, hookworm, tu
berciilosis change and change tiulckly
the balance from the credit to the
debit side of the ledger.
Disease is preventable in a great
measure and controllable in almost
every case. It requires money and
the employment of skilled assistance;
it requires public interest and co op
eration. Georgia has ample law, not
only ample but adequate law The
Ellis law provides a local option sys¬
tem for a full-time health officer.
Thirty-three of our counties have pro¬
vided for this; it is the right thing to
do. Some of our counties have not
taken full advantage, but they should
All counties that have employed the
right type of health officer and who
have been liberal enough to put in
the proper size unit have been well
pleased and have saved many times
the cost. Some counties, owing to
bad financing and bad management of
their affairs, are ho badly in debt that
they cannot in their opinion afford a
health officer, who would, if the mat
ter were brought to their attention,
put on a full-time health officer or a j
full-time public health nurse. This
should and could he. done in every
county. A nurse would pay big divi
dends; she would be worth much to
all types of citizens, but especially to
the poor, who cannot have a special
nurse in their homes. She would be j
of untold worth and assistance to the.
physicians of a county.
If our General Assembly would give 1
us 6 cents or more per capita for next
year and Increase this 1 cent per year j
for seven years the State Board of
Health could subsidize the weaker
counties and give them enough money i
to enable them to put on a nurse at |
least, or possibly a part time health
officer, both or better still, a full-time health j
health officer and complete j
unit.
Would you not be willing to give 121
cents a year to have a nurse in your i
community upon whom you could call,
or a physician who would look after
your children and your home? Any¬
one would; it seems a foolish question
to ask. Then may we ask In all se
riousness why it is not done, why our
county does not have it, why our
school children are not given atten
tion and our homes sanitary Inspec¬
tion? Why are our children not
given free hookworm treatment, ty- \
pliold inoculation and protected from
diphtheria? Why are not the infec¬
tious diseases quarantined and the
spread halted? Why? We ask you
again, WHY?
A common drinking cup is danger¬
ous.
The common towel is a menace to
health.
An open window bedroom helps to
keep one well.
A walk in the open air every day
Is good exercise.
Spitting on floors or sidewalks
spreads disease.
Clean hands before eating or han
dling food Is a protection.
The typhoid season is here. It be
hooves everyone to be careful about i
the drinking water and screen out the ;
flies. It is not too late to take the !
typhoid vaccine^ Get yours today; it
is furnished free by the State Board
of Health to your physician.
; Tuberculosis Is a house disease,
I using the word house to include
our
homes and work places. Bad housing
conditions breed this disease. Out
door workers, who are properly
housed and few rarely hav e consump

natun, l foes.
