| New Health Agency Set-Up
Now Working In Kentucky
Louisville and Jefferson county.
Ky., have completed nine months’ j
operation of a consolidated city
county health agency which, by re
ducing or reallocating professional
workers, unifying bookkeeping and
making other administrative adjust
ments, has greatly improved health
and hospital facilities of the com
munity.
As an additional result of the con
solidation, according to the Inter
national City Managers’ association,
a modern health center is under
construction with assistance of the
Federal Works agency to house the
preventive and venereal disease
clinics, laboratories, and other of
fices of the integrated health serv- |
ices.
The new city-county health agen
cy consists of a board of five citi
zens appointed jointly by the coun
ty judge and the mayor, who are
ex officio members. The board, serv
ing four-year staggered terms, ap
points a director of health, who is
the chief administrative officer. The
unit is financed jointly by the city
and county, under a law enacted by
the Kentucky legislature early this
year.
Besides placing all positions re
quiring special skill and training un
der the merit system, the consoli
dation has resulted in improved use
of personnel, the association said.
There is one superintendent for the '
general and tuberculosis hospitals, !
and if a particular practice proves
successful in one hospital it is put i
into effect in the other. One phar
macist and one dentist now handle
work for the two hospitals; two
pharmacists and two dentists were
employed under the old setup. One
buyer purchases for the entire
health and hospital system instead
of the three separate buyers em
ployed previously.
Italy’s Savona Assets
Above Industrial Normal
Wartime factories of Savona, It
aly, produce steel rails, electric lo
comotives and other railway sup
plies; ships, sulphur, and tinplate.
There are bottle factories, potteries,
brick yards and tanneries. Savona’s
majolica ware was noted for cen
turies.
Imported are the coal, iron, and
petroleum for the Vado refinery. Sa
vona’s industrial assets are a good
harbor, normally handling over a
million tons a year; cheap electric
power from Alpine streams to the
north; an abundant supply of skilled
labor; and a railway north through
the coastal range to Turin, in addi
tion to the coast line.
The Roman settlement was an
ciently known as Save, destroyed
and rebuilt. The crooked, old, con
gested town hugs the harbor, sur
rounded by a spacious crescent of
modern buildings, straight streets
and avenues.
The city has marked a house in
which, it is asserted, Columbus was
born. So have other communities
about (jenoa, where the discoverer
spent his boyhood.
By-Pass U-Boat Menace
Waging economic warfare with a
railway bridge is something new in
international strategy. A new span
across the Suchiate river linking
Mexico and Guatemala is expected
to quicken the movement of materi
als needed for the war effort, save
up to 2,500 miles in water hauls
from Central and South American
ports, and by-pass the U-boat men
ace. As shortages of essential ma
terials from South and Central
America developed and sea losses
climbed, need for a safe passage by
land became so acute that the bridge
was rushed to completion ahead of
schedule. When the bridge was
opened, 300,000 bags of coffee were
piled on the Guatemalan side await
ing shipment to the United States.
Makeshift in its present construc
tion, the bridge is a half mile long.
Without improvement, however, it
might last for 15 years.
Reason for Sfax’s Importance
The chief reason for Sfax’s impor
tance to Europe is its extensive ex
ports of phospiiates for fertilizer, in
normal times reaching France, It
aly, and England. Since 1899 the
phosphates have been brought to the
port by rail from the neighborhood
of Gafsa, almost on the opposite
side of the country. The port is on
the railroad that follows Tunisia’s
coast from Tunis south to Gabes. It
has an airfield and a seaplane ba
sin. The European section of Sfax
spreads along the waterfront in neat I
checkerboard squares on land re
claimed from the sea. On a hill be
hind it the ancient native city is i
still enclosed in its medieval wall, i
Besides shipping and fishing, Sfax’s
chief industries are pressing olive
oil and making soap.
Fort Lamy Air Rase
A short distance south of African
Lake Chad on the important south
ern feeder river, the Chari (Shari),
is the administrative center of the
colony, Fort Lamy. It is an im
portant air base and hub for cara
van routes and automobile roads.
The war - important, all - weather,
heavy traffic road, linking French
Equatorial Africa with the shipping
center of Khartoum on the Nile,
stems eastward from Fort Lamy. j
This key road, following closely the
route traveled by early caravans,
skirts the desert, passes through
Abeshr, and on through the province
ii of Kordofan. 1
EVERY FAMILY ADVISED TO I
GW SI HIKING TO ESI
Since the turned forces will sit
fit the first table and farmers at
the second, Director Walter S.
E;own of the Georgia Agricultu
ral intension Service said this
week that “it will be wise for
those who have not been grow
ing gardens to do so if they have
the space.”
Declaring that ‘‘Grow some
thing to eat” is a slogan that
should be adopted by every Geor
gia family, Mr. Brown said that
food production will be of pri
j mary irnpoitance in 1943 and
everyone possessing a suitable
place, no matter how small,
, should grow a garden.
The Extension leader’ pointed
out that with the rationing of
canned goods, chiefly vegetables,
! fruits ana meats, it is time for
everyone to recognize the se
riousness of the situation and
commence preparation for a
garden.
Offering advice to town peo
ple planning gardens for the
first time, Mr. Brown said to
keep in mind that garden seeds
and fertilizers are scarce and
jshouldnotbe used where they
I will not produce.
In general, any space not shad
ed or sapped by trees and shrubs,
that contains fairly good soil,
may be turned into a garden.
Places where old garages have
been, or lots filled with clay, are
not suitable for gardens unless
intensive soil preparations are
made. Spots which have been
used for chicken yards or cow
lots will probably be adapted for
growing most vegetables, except
tomatoes.
‘‘Where it is impossible to have
the space plowed, the soil should
be spaded and well pulverized.
It should be mixed with decayed
leaves or other vegetable matter
to provide plant food and make
a porous mixture which will be
easy to cultivate. This prepara
tion should be done at once.”
Choose the vegetables you will
plant in accordance with the
taste of the family and the
growth habits of the plants, Mr.
Brown said. Vegetables suitable
for production in small places are
beets, carrots, lettuce, turnip
greens, mustard, tendergreen,
onions, radishes, spinach, Eng
lish or garden peas, pepper,
squash, tomatoes and okra. If
space will permit, a row or two
of Irish potatoes may give good
returns.
Often where there is room to
grow only a few plants it is best
to buy the plants rather than to
grow them from seeds. Time
saved in this way in getting
them into the ground and getting
a good root system established
before the summer’s hot, dry
weather sets in may mean the
difference in success and failure,
. Plant some quick maturing
greens, such as tendergreen,
mustard, rape and kale, which '
are ready for use in three to six
weeks. Greens of all types
flourish in a soil rich with barn
yard manure. Grow patches of
greens throughout the winter, as
weather will permit, in any spot
especially adapted because of
good soil.
Plant for a rotation of crops—
carrots and lettuce may be fol
lowed by spinach or turnips.
Radishes and onions may be fol
lowed by pepper or eggplant,
squash by late tomatoes, beets by
onions and lettuce.
NOTICE

Legislation granting the incor-
I poration and a charter for gov
; erning the same will be sought,
including a bill to be entitled:
‘‘An Act to create and incor-
I porate a new municipality in
Houston County, to be known as

said municipality, and of its of
ficers: and for other purposes.
This 22 day of January, 1943.
Feeding Goldfish
Feeding goldfish is quite simple.
They will eat everything within rea
son. The dry fish foods sold com
mercially are quite sufficient. They
! appreciate a few garden worms,
however, or a few flies or other in
sects. In very large pools, a #BtifT
mash of oatmeal boiled with shred
ded liver and put into the pool in
I lumps once in a while is sufficient
■ to keep the fish in good shape.
