The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1916-02-27

ing Sunday all the churches voiced
new prophecy. Greensville showed
out its chest, and looked at the rest
of the world with feeling bordering
on pity. Greensville County had
right to do 1t, too. The revival was
held In the auditorium of the Emporia
High School. A more fitting place
could not have been found. Mothers
attended the revival, fathers occupied
front seats, and even the children
-asped the meaning of what was
going on in Greensville County. 1t in
stituted new era. Greensville knows
1t, and instead of merely standing
around applauding the citizens want
more of It. Anothern three months Ia
necessary, they think. to have the
thing started right. After that Green's
Vile County proposes to keep the
county sanitary and healthy. SO that
1t will be spring, summer fall and
winter resort for any one and every
one desiring to do the resort act. and
will doubtless have the full-time
health officer of its own.
It's Good Advertising.
Good advertising! 1t goes without
saying that GTeensville Is pulling OF
the best advertising stunt in the his
tory OF a Virginia county. Who does
not appreciate the thought OF clean
community? Greensville offers the
world health II stands ready to
smash the inquisitive snoLt, or nose,
or whatever apparatus nature has
given to any kind Of germ that hap
pens to come into Its borders. An
army of men and women and children
will swat the germ" from now on.
Swatting the germ cannot be done as
with a fly swatter. 1t must be done
by continuously standing sentinel
duty. NeiEhbors in Greensville are
said to invite criticism. If a germ gets
over the fence and Is caught the guilty
neighbor-that is, the one on whose
Iroperty that germ was oorn-must
stand the disgrace. 1t was his germ
and belonged in his germ graveyard.
But seriously speaking, the state
Board of Health Is highly pleased with
what GreensvilIe has done. The
board of health is anxious that other
counties do the same thing. Health
Reveals meet with the approval or
DR.. Ennion G. williams, Commissioner
of Health. and of every member OF
his staff. The State Board OF Health
only regrets that 1t has not the power
TO vote gold medal to the Rev r. L.
Staples. OF Emporia. for his idea. with
the hope that It might inspire min
listers in every county pulpit to follow
his example.
