FAILURE TO ISOLATE
YOUNGSTERS DECLARED
CAUSE OF DISEASE WAVE
A principal cause for outbreaks
of communciable diseases, especially
among children, is that in many in
stances children who have early sym
ptoms of diseases such as measles,
whooping cough, searet fever, diph-
Lh eria and other similar diseases, are
not isolated, I)r. Joe* P. Bowdoin,
chief of the division of child hy
giene of the State Department of
Public Health, said.
“Prompt quarantine of cases of
communicable diseases in their early
stages would prevent many out
breaks. 'rom a public health stand
point every child who is ill, even
though he is not sick, should be re
garded ns potentially dangerous to
other children,” Dr. Bowdoin ex
plained^
Inspection* Help
With the advent of school again,
Dr. Bowdoin pointed out the advan
tage of the daily, conscientious in
spection by each school teocher of
her pupils to discover those who ap
pear not well or show any signs of
illness, and seeing that they are
sent home or their condition check
ed for possible serious illness to
which others in the classroom might
be exposed.
Along with the precautions exer
cised by the school teacher, Dt.
Bowffoin said, “a good parent will
wate'h for early symptoms of our
common diseases and keep the child
away from other children, especially
those in their own home, until such
time as the symptoms will have de
veloped sufficiently for a diagnosis
to be made as to what the real dis
ease is.”
YOUR PUBLIC LIBRARY
Andrew Carnegie was once asked
the question, “What i3 the best gift
that can be given to a community?”
He answered that a free library
occupies the first place, provided
the community will accept and main
tain it as a public institution as much
as a part of the city property as its
public schools.”
Later, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
said:
“There is no question in my mind
but that the Public Library is es
sential to the growth ,of the people
in any community. Unless we can
read and find out the answers to the
questions, which come up in every
day life, the opportunity for growth
is necessarily denied. Therefore, I
feel that whenever possible, there
should be a good public library in
every community.”
“It is only by reading the ex
periences of others that the dark
ness of the road is niade light,” was
the sentiment of John Wanamaker.
RAMSPECK HITS BLACK
ATTACK
Congressman Robert Ramspeck of
the fifth congressional district back
from a national speaking tour, Fri
day termed criticism of United
States Supreme Court Justice Hugo
L. Black, “anti-administration poli
tics.”
Mr. Ramspeck said Justice Black
will make a good justice. He point
ed out that even if he were a mem
ber of the Ku Klux Klan, he “has
no obligations which would interfere
with his duties as an impartial jus
tice.” He declared that there is
nothing in the Klan ritual "to which
the American public could object.
The congressman said an extra
session of Congress depends largely
on the reaction to President Roose
velt’s western trip. Though not ex
pecting the President to run for a
third term, Mr. Ramspeck said he
could not be certain because “any
thing may happen in politics.”
U. S. WILL EXPORT WHEAT
For the last three years the Unit
ed States was an importer of wheat
—after some three-quarters of a
century in which it acted as a
granary for half the world. Crop
restriction plans, drouths and other
unusual circumstances had reversed
a tide which had been flowing since
before the Civil War.
Now, however the tide is resuming
its normal course. A bulletin from
the Alexander Hamilton Institute re
ports that this year the United States
will be in a position to export some
200,000,000 bushels of wheat. The
west is producing a bumper crop.
Once again, American wheat will be
flowing across the Atlantic to help
restock the cupboards of Europe.
Perhaps this bewildered and ec
centric world is going to return to
normal after all.
BEAUTY SELECTS WINNER? FOR
CENTENNIAL
Miss Lorraine Mayfield (Miss Atlanta, 1937) helping select winners for
tho outstanding Poultry Show under the direction of Jno. P. Frasch.
This is the outstanding show of
the South. Having been set aside by
breeders of national reputation as
the proving ground of quality.
Arthur O. Schilling, of Rochester,
New York, artist and illustrator, will
Judge poultry. We have an up-to
the inlnuti building, well ventilated
and lighted; premiums the best to
be found. Atlanta merchants and
others have generously donated sil
ver trophies and various other kinds
of merchandise through the Greater
Atlanta Poultry Breeders Associa
tion. We have already received in
quiries from several states for en
try blanks and have sold three times
as many booths for displaying
chicks, feeds, and equipment as we
did last year.
Our bantams and turkeys have
grown in numbers unbelievable.
Classes in Plymouth Rocks, Leg
horns, etc., are unsurpassed. Be
on hand when the judging is fin
ished and see who has the handker
chief passed to them. We are ex
pecting a great show.
The poultry business is one of the
four largest farming industries, and
is in the billion dollar clas3. The
World's Poultry Congress will be
held in the United States in 1939.
The Atlanta Pigeon Club is put
ting on its ninth annual show and
it is recognised a3 one of the best
in the country. Nearly every state
in the Union is represented here.
They will have eight judges. Art

11l this show you will find some
of the finest racing ' birds in the
world. The best of the breeds in
fancy and utility birds.
The Atlanta Rabbit Breeders’ Club
is doing a fine job on the rabbit
show. Premiums have been raised
and they have selected James Blythe,
of Pittsburgh, -Penna., to do the
judging. They always have a good
rabbit show. These most interesting
little animals at one time were
kept for pets only. Today, it is
a big business, as well as a hobby.
There is one rabbit breeding center
in Los Angeles County, California,
where the market handles 50.000
fryers per week, which runs more
than 2,000 tons of rabbit meat per
year. The fur brings hundreds of
thousands of dollars per year. When
you buy your fall hat. ask your
haberdasher what it is made of,
and more than likely, he will tell
you rabbit fur. When made up in
garments, rabbit fur is sold under
many names, such as Arctic Fox,
Baltic Tiger, Squirrellette, Coney.
Lopan, etc.
All in all. we have one of the
greatest shows to be found. Have
visitors from far and near, and all
have a good time.
