at a meeting held at the Health
Department office yesterday after

present, and each representative
heartily endorsed the movement.

outline the program to their re
spective @rganizations at the
earliest meeting, and Dr. W, TV,
Brown said it was absolutely nec
essary that the moral support of
these clubs be received to create
public. sentiment in favor of this
program.
Dr. Brown, city and county
health commissioner; R. J. Bos
ton, division engineer of the state
department of health; E. C. Set
tle, district engineer of the state
health department, and Dr. Guy
G. Lunsford, supervisor of county
health units, explained the move
to improve health conditions in
the city.
Dr. Brown said the 'move, if
carried ' out, would make sanita
tion in the city more thorough
and complete. He said where
sewerage was available, it must be
ocnnected, but where it was not,
it was necessary to erect sanitary
toilets.
Unsanitary units are breeding
places for diseases such as typhoid
fever and hook-worm, it was
pointed out. Although unavailable
sewerage is more frequent in color
ed residential sections, there are
numerous homes occupied by
white people where sewerage lines
do not extend.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — (# — Loocking
at the planes soaring over Aug

watching perhaps the world's
youngest flier in action. |
So gracefully and with auch!
skill does little Billy Lee handle
lhls ghip that it is hard to dis
[tinguish hiz pioting from that of
the more experienced aviators,
Billy has had more than 16
hours flying time asince he first
soloed at Savannah, Ga., Novem
ber 17, 1935. On that flight he
circled the field twice for 10 min
utes and made two perfect landings,
while a erowd of speciatorg look

at ttg‘t time. %is the son of Mr,
and Mrs. J. Bothwell Lee of Aug
usta, and he was _uinght to fly by
|iis father and Billy Craig, pilot
and instructor at the Augusta air
port. >
“The boy became unusually in
terested in aviation about two years
ago,” Craig says. - “Mr, Lee and
other fliers beganr taking Billy on
many cross-country trips. Soon‘
they let him handle the controls,
and he caught on go quickly that
the pilots started giving the youn
gater regular lessons.”
Craig, who has taught and seen
many students take their first
plane off the ground, declared
Billy’s solo flight was the best he
| had ever witnessed. He said Billy
could have made a solo a long time
ago, but they wanted to make sure
he could handle a ship before let
ting him go up alone.
Craig believes Billy holds the
title once held by another north
east Georgia boy-~Ben T, Epps, ir.,
of Athens. ¥Epps, son of Georgia's
pioneer aviator and now a Univer
sity of Georgia =ztudent, became the
world's younhgest flfer by soloing
