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?

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 tlon; fresh air and sunlight are Its natun, l foes. . 1 I In doing things that are worth I | while, co operation counts for much, i I In fact, it is almost everything. One person alone cannot transform a dirty and unkempt neighborhood into a clean and tidy one. But when the neighbors all pitch in and help, the i 0 ^ 18 eas > r and 80011 completed. Cancer is on the increase, we are told; this, notwithstanding many ad¬ vertised cancer cures. There is no such thing as a cancer cure; the only scientific thing to do for cancer Is to have a competent surgeon remove the i growth. Any lump should receive im mediate attention; delay is death, ! _____ Tuberculosis in children is very common, but is not easily detected; ! the ctl jj dren do no t complain. The glands are quite often the point of i attack. The old term, “scrofula,” is ! j tuberculosis in the majoriy of cases.
