MONDAY AFTERNOON. NOVEMBER 9, 1925 A GROWING MENACE CAMPERS The nomadic race that we Hem to be developing is fraught with consid erable danger to the stay-at-homes and also to those camp followers who come along after a carrier of disease. Thousands of people are constantly an the go; many of them carry a camp outfit and camp where night over takes them. Every one of them Is potentially dangerous. They hava no sanitary arrangements at a vast ma jority of the camps; they generally seek a camp site with running water if possible. Streams and wells are liable to beoome polluted from the surface drainage. Especially is there danger from all diseases that come from human fecal matter. Food left scattered causes flies, and these sack ing their natural element for laying their eggs get contaminations ants bring them into our homes. We need some kind of legislative measures to control this menace to our health. If all of our itinerants would observe the law given by Moses all would be well, but the sanitary laws as well as the moral code are set at naught by many. We believe that our Highway De partment should se aside a sufficient sum for the examining of camp sites and mark officailly all places that would meet the approval of the State Board of Health. The regular road men employed by the Highway De partment could be appointed as Sani tary Inspectors and given the neces sary power to condemn any camp that did not come up to the specifications that wouiti be promulgated by the State Board of Health. The State Board of Health should pass the nec essary rules and regulations to pro tect the citizens of Georgia and also our itinerant visitors. We think that this should be done immediately. As a protection to our passing guests we should have sufficient and conven ient water supplies along our import ant highways, examined by the State Board of Health and prominent signs placed, certifying the water as being good or bad. In making this suggestion, we do so realizing that our State Board of Health has no funds for this purpose but, as stated above, we believe that this, too, could and should be borne by the tax imposed on the sale of gas. We respectfully suggest that the Highway Department and State Board of Health get together on a program and that no time be lost. We would also like to urge upon our State Board of Health the necessity of promulgat ing rule.? for the conducting of mu nicipal and for hire camps in Georgia. PREVENT PNEUMONIA The pneumonia season is here. Soon some of your loved ones or acquaint ances will be suddenly stricken and in a few days will be tenderly laid away for their last time. We should do all that we can against pneumonia. It is a communicable disease; it is "caught” by direct contact; that is. from the secretions of one who has the disease. There are many "carri ers,” people who carry the germ of pneumonia all the time, but who do not themselves have the disease. How ever they "give” it to others. Sneezing, coughing, loud talking close contact, using glasses dippers and other vessels, forks, knives, .towels, etc., that have been used by one who has the dis ease or a carrier will communicate the disease to the well. In seasons when pneumonia is prevalent it be hooves every one to take care of him self. Keep the system at par or above; do nothing that will lower the power of resistance, and especially should we take care of ourselves when we have a "bad cold.” In fact, all diseases of the respiratory tract come in the same category ts pneumonia Insofar as the method of spread is concerned. PHYSICIANS SHOULD LEAD L PROTECT THE INNOCENT. r' Every time the Legislature meets, someone introduces a bill about mar riage. It is a subject that needs se rious thought and mature considera tion. All whp know anything about the results of the marriage of those mentally diseased say that they should not be permitted to marry. Family histories prove that many criminals are descended from criminals. We also have those marrying who are infected with venereal disease. This is a great crime against our daughters, and not alone these dis eases. but others, sucb as the tuber cular. We have given serious considera tion to this problem, and have come to the conclusion that our physicians should take the lead in the matter. At the next meeting of our State Med- | leal Association, they should appoint a committee to draft a bill that all 1 of the physicians can get behind, en dorse and push. If they think neces sary, let them draft on their commit tee some of our best lawyers and min isters. Every one who has the inter est of his State at heart wants the necessary safeguards thrown around this sacred institution. We hope that the president of the State Medical As sociation will advocate this tn his an nual address, and that the General As sembly at its next session will give us a statute or this subject that will be of service tc the State and to future generations.
