Health Officer Points
To Disease Status Here
Q
Numerous Cases of Measles and Some of Other Conta
gions, but Drl Mitchell Says Closing of Schools Will
Not Control Them Satisfactorily
Widespread prevalence of measles
in the city and county was reported
toda\ by Dr. Z. P. Mitchell, health
officer for Henderson and Vance
county, in a general survey of the
contagious disease situation in the
community. He also listed a number
of other diseases, none of which, how
ever. was so rampant as measles.
During the week ending last Sat
urday a total of 68 cases so' measles
were reported to the healtn depart
ment. it was stated. Forty-six of these
were white and 22 colored people. In
addition* nine cases of chlckenpo*
were reported, two of scarlet fever
and one of diphtheria.
During November a total of 161
cases of measles were reported to
the health office, together with seven
of scarlet fever, four of chicken pox.
four of whooping cough and one of
German measles.
Dr. Mitchell, in Ills statement, dis
i cour*Led th.. alarm that has appeared
j in some localities over the situation,
and also paid the closing of .schools ;
would not materially lesson the spread
or aid in the control of the con
tagions. He also urged the continued
“splendid cooperation" of the parents
•n keeping down the contagions and
said that only in that way could it
bo done.
His statement with respect to the
contagious disease situation in the
community follows:
“The last day or two has brought
quite, a number of inquiries from in
terested parents concerning the ad
visability of closing some of the low
er grades in school for the purpose
of keeping down the spread of these* *
diseases. With this idea in mind, a I
study of attendance records out at.
West End school this morning, where I
it is generally assumed more of these j
diseases arc prevalent than anywhere j
else, disclosed the fact that only three ;
children in that school are out on ac- j
count of measles; two due to scarlet j

fever and nine due to chickenpox.
The majority of tho.se out with chick
enpox will be back in school in tne
next day or so. it was further dis
closed that several children were ap
parently kept at home as a
precaution against their contracting
these diseases.
“in summarizing the situation, I
would say if closing a school or part
of a school offered any advantage in
keeping down the spread of these dis
eases, Iwo ul d say it would be the
proport step to take, but common
knowledge, based on observation of
such things, warrants th«, declaration
that these diseases, measles especially
are never controlled that way. That
is due to the very obvious fact that
these same children will not remain
at home in their own back yards, but
will go hither and yon, in the crowd
ed stores, picture shows, etc. As a
matter of fact, the only justification
for closing a school due to a measles
epidemic is when the attendance ?s
so poor that it is not fair to the ma
jority of children to continue school.
As to scarlet fever, we are simply
having the usual number of season
al cases and they arem ild.
“Strictly speaking, chickenpox is
not quaran tin able, though children
with it are not permitted to go to
school. The disease as a rule is very
mild and the patient is soon well and
all right. However, none of these, dis
eases is to be treated lightly, for
severe complications may result.
“The health officer urges the con
tinued splendid cooperation of the
parents. It is only through the help
of the people, as a whole can we
make any headway toward keeping
down the spread of contagious dis
eases. Knowing htat these diseases
aicty-e valent in our community, par
enfeTshould observe closely their chil
dren for evidences of illness, and
thereby endeavor to not send chil
dren to school sick. Measles always
begins as a cold, while scarlet fever
is characterized by a sore throat and
fever before the eruption appears.”

CATHOLICS RENEW
PLEDGEON MOVIES
Father Carroll Leads Fight
For Cleaner Cinema
Offerings
The congregation of St. Paul’s
Catholic church here was asked by
the pastor, Father Carroll, last Sun
day to renew their pledge as mem
bers of the Legion of Decency, form
ed one year ago to combat “salacious
moving ictures.”
After discussing the campaign. Fa
ther Carroll asked his congregation
to stand and again repeat the words
of the pledge, as follows: “In the
name of the Father, of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost, amen. I condemn
indecent and immoral motion pic
tures, and those which glorify crime
or criminals. I promise to do all I
can to strengthen public opinion a
gairst the production of indecent and
immoral films and to unite with all
who protest against them. I acknow
ledge my obligation to form a right
conscience about pictures that are
dangerous to my moral life. As a mem
her of the Legion of Decency, I pledge
myself to remain away from them. I
promise, further, to stay away alto
get hex from places of amusement
which show them as a matter of po
licy.”
Father Carroll mentioned several
Catholic weekly publications which
carry lists of pictures produced in
which pictures are classified as Class
A, approved: Class B, neither ap
proved nor forbidden, but for adults
only; Class C. immoral and unfit for
publication. These are published by
the Chicago Council of Decency.
Father Carroll said that “at the re
cent meeting of the hierarchy of the
United States the bishops were of
one mind that the efforts of the mil
lions of Catholics in the United States
to purify the cinema should be con
tinued and that the gains made a
gainst salacious moving pictures
should be consolidated. The success
of the drive is unquestioned and mil
lions of non-Catholics have rallied to
the stand of the church. Yet there is
a very real danger that certain pro
ducing companies wiil again pour
forth their degrading pictures if the
Legion of Decency should appear to
be losing its vigor and watchfulness.”
