COMMITTEES To WORK
WILL. SHAPE PLANS. AND LINE
III CITIZENSHIP IN BEHALF
OF Rig EXPOSITION
THIS YEAR.

The first. forward tangible step to-
ward crystallization of the All-Pan-
handle Fair project into an effective
working organization was taken yes
terday afternoon at a meeting held
in the county court room.
While the attendance was not as
large as might have been expected,
had more favorable weather oondi-
tions prevailed for the past week.
those present entered into the spirit
of the meeting with a determination
which amply made up for lack of
numbers.
ID. c Priddy, as secretary OF the
Chamber of Commerce. and one of
the prime movers In the project, pre-
sided at the meeting. Ii. r. Greer
was made secretary and following or
Tanization, T. f. Turner, Chairman
Priddy and Edward O'Brien and 9TH
ers made short. pithy talks. pointed
with practical suggestion, all urging
immediate action with view of push
ing the Fair project to completion
al the earliest date possible.
After considerable discussion IL
was determined 10 name a committee
of three, composed OF member of
the three commercial organizations
Of the city The Chamber of Com
merce. Real Estate Exchange and the
Young Mems Civic League. ID. ..
priddv. VI. r. Greer and II. II. New

NeWcome to be filled by some other
member OF the Reil Estate Exchange
In the event pressing business pre-
vented his active participation In the
Fair campaign.
Work will be energetioally begun
at once by this committee. with n
view Of getting in touch with the
progressive citizens in furtherance OF
the project. shaping a practical and
direct working plan. settling upon
suitable grounds. procuring estimate
of cost on needed buildings. and lin
ing up the populace to the point Of
lending enthusiastic support.
Attendance OF outside delegates
yesterday was not up to expectations,
but this was deemed attributable sole
ly to the bitter weather which has
prevailed for the past ten days. The
interest which has been voiced In
every section of the Panhandle in the
project assures ihpse who are work
ing most vigorously in its behalf that
the people as n whole are heartily
and strongly in favcr of the proposed
FAIR.
Viewed from every standpoint the
meeting was rOusing success. and
the long forward step taken toward
consummation gives promise Of early
and notable results.

Justice to the 0ystermen.

While it would be dangerous to the
health of the community to allow in
fected oysters to be sold here, and
while the authorities have acted wisely
in condemning unhealthy food. the fact
remains that their duty is not entirely
ended with seizure and conhscation.
If it be true that there is a region of
the river which is subject to pollution,
even though that region be many miles
from Washington, the authorities
should make a careful survey and notify
the oyster dredgers of the extent of the
prescribed territory 1t would seem as
if they could map out this zone and thus
save the oystermen the loss of time m
securing the oysters and their transpor-
tation to Washington, as we'll as the
value of their entire cargoes.
If some action of this kind be- not
taken, oysterInen will be afraid TO bring
their supplies to the city, and not only
will valuable trade be lost, but a
source OF food supply will be taken
away.
The Washington herald., 1912-03-10
Government and the Individual.

BY law recently passed, in Utah il
becomes the duty of physicians and mid
wives to report to the local health au-
thorities every case where a newly
born child suffers from inflammation oi
the eyes Municipal health officers must
see that proper treatment be given.
The object of the legislation is to pre-
vent, as far as possible, the spread OF
blindness, the fact being recognized
that if disease of the eyes can be
treated in its incipiency the loss of sight
may be averted. There are no less than
ten other States where similar reports
are required, while in a large number
of other States, where information
must be given to the authorities, no ac-
ton is taken if there is a physician in
attendance.
Legislation of this character is GER
tainly a long step in the direction of
complete governmental care of the in
dividual, and puts in concrete form the
tendency, strongly observable during
the past decade, toward socialistic con-
troll.
