Not "Model" Count..
DR.. Whitfield today said that Forrest
county is not ''model" county, so far

But" he explained, 1--WE believe
Fthat it is further advanced along this
line than any other county in the
South, and probably in the entire
county. There is ctill much to be
done in Forrest. but the inhabitants
of the rural communities, we believe
soon will catch the spirit of the thing
will understand what we are trying
| to do to safeguard their health, thcii
happiness and their homes-and they
then will voluntarily cooperate with
us in every possible way. Many homes
in the county are not yet screened
But with the return of better times
we believe that this home improve
