Dr. Chambliss Says Residents
Now Failing to Evidence Co-
Operative Spirit
Dr. J. Wade Chambliss today called
attention to an apparent lessening of
co-opefation among residents in cer
tain sections of Americus regarding
the mosquito elimination campaign.
This attitude, Dr. Chambliss savs, is
regretted by the health authorities,
who may be compelled to adopt harsh
measures unless there comes an early
reversal and more strict compliance
with recommendations of the sani
tary inspector who is now on his sec.
ond round.
“Here is exactly how we stand,”
Dr. Chambliss said today, “For sani
tary conditions with no mosquito
breeding places and thorough screen
ing; against insanitary conditions
with mosquitoes and unprotected by
screens.”
Students attending Furlow Gram
mar School this week continued their
fight against the mosquito and elim

Mrs. Alonzo Richardson (Chairman)
Atlanta Better Films Committee, says:
I consider “Some Wild Oats ’ one of the most valuable
lessons to the young people I have ever seen. I do not
feel that the picture will do for indiscriminate showing,
but to selected audiences I think it will prove invaluable. <
The picture has a mission, and rightly used will do a great
deal of good.
J- W. Pattillo (Chairman)
City Censor Board, says:
We, the Censor Board of the' City of Atlanta, do most
hearily commend the film, “Some Wild Oats,” to all peo
ple from the ages of 16 years and up, tot both Male and
Female, so long as it is shown to sexes separately. From
a Hy» ie ic, Educational and Moral standpoint it should
DO great GOOD.
Dr. J. P. Kennedy, Health Officer,

From am educational standpoint, the picture is good.
