Road Management

Where a county builds a good
road and soon lets it become rut,
ty, washed out, or uneven, who
or what is principally to blame?
AS a result Of a study of condi-
tions in a number of counties,
road specialists of the depart
ment are inclined to place the
responsibility upon the following
defects in road management,
some or all of which are found
in all counties where good roads
are not properly repaired and
maintained
|. County boards, although hay-
ing full administrative author
lty, appear not to attach to their
official action in road matters the
Importance or legal effect which
it should have,
2. County boards do not gen
orally have sufficient accounting
control of road funds to know
what is available for any parti-
cular project, where funds have
been or where existing balances
are to be expended.
3. Lack of any systematic
practice in handling road funds
among most counties makes il
very difficult to carry out over
even a single year any persistent
maintenance policy becausefunds
Officially obligated for malhten-
ance purposes are not protected
against sporadic and irregular
drafts for miscellaneous pur-
poses. The greatest likelihood
consequently exists everywhere

REGISTER COOKS AND NURSES
Why Not Register Cooks and Nurses
with Washerwomen7

A number Of cities and towns
in North Carolina have passed
ordinances relative to the reg
istering of washerWomen. The
ordinances, in most cases, demand
that all Washerwomen shall have
certificates of good health and
shall furnish sanitary premises
and paraphernalia for doing
their work.
But this bit of sanitary legis
lation is being protested against
by the housekeepers, not that it
is deficient in itself but that its
scope is too narrow to he effective.
II Infection Is going to be kept
at its source and not allowed to
spread to homes and to other
individuals, which seems to be
the purpose Of the ordinance,
Why not include the registry of
cooks and nurses? They are
quite as, or more, important as
disease spreading factors.
Said one lady, recently, speak
ing on this subject; "Of four
servants | employed consecutive
ly, three had infectious diseases.
Two We're c0nsumptlVes and
another had even worse dis
ease. For quite a while each
kept her SYMPTOMS concealed and,
taking it altogether, my family
was exposed for weeks to these
terrible diseases. F"
There is no doubt but that
nurses, cooks and washerWomen
do directly expose innocent fami
lies to contagious diseases.
There's no greater source OF
dangerous and infectious diseases
than a careless, ignorant cook.
If she has a mind to, she may
pass many infectious germs
across the board to the unsus-
pecting family. We are not
pessimistic enough to believe
that there are many such, but
we know that such has been the
case in a number of instances.
Oftentime5 they themselves are
not aware of their condition. For
instance, Typhoid Mary and Ty-
phoid Anna. Eleven cases of
.ever occurred in the three fami-
lies in which Anna was employ
ed, all within two years, She
herself did not know that she
was a carrier" until she was
suspected and examined Yet
the intimate terms of the cook
and the family are apparent.
A certificate of health for the
cook, nurse or WasherWoman
would not only protect the EN-
ployer's family but it would be a
means of obtaining better health
md higher standard of service
Tor the employed, Furthermore
it would be a means of protection
against untarness, on both sides
