QUARANTINE

DR.. B. w. Page, county health Of
ficer, says that the child that had
had infantile paralysis and was TAX
en- by it's mother to the office of a
physician a week ago today, mention
of which was made in Thursdays
Robesonian, had passed the stage
when the disease could be communi-
Gated to any one.
In regard to measles, DR.. Page says
that the only quarantine it is possible
to enforce with satisfactory results
against this disease is keeping chill
dren who have not had measles away
from school when there is a case Of
the disease in the family from which
the child comes. He says this is I'M
derstood in all schools of the county.
He has explained before all the
schools in the county that the disease
is contagious four or five days be-
fore it is possible to say that per-
son has measles, and for that reason
it is not possible to prevent an out
break of the disease. A child may
give the disease to a room-full Of
children before it is known that the
child has it.
An epidemic of measles has spread
all over the State. 1t is not confin-
ed to Robson. Checking it's spread
rests largely with the people. Co.
operation is necessary. Parents should
see to it whenever a case Of measles
develops in their home that all 9TH
er children in the home are stopped
from going to school or mingling
with other people until the danger
of communicating the disease is over
The health department is doing all ii
can to prevent the spread of the dis
ease, but it is impossible to prevent
the spread of disease that is com
municated before any one knows 6
person has it.

A bill has been introduced in the
House of the Legislature to prohibit
in North Carolina along public high
ways the use of cross-arm signs that
initiate the signs used by railroads
to warn the public of railroad cross
ings. It, should by all means be pass
ed. Signs of that kind have come
into wide use lately and it has come
to pass that the traveller along a
highway must make close inspection
when he sees one of these familiar
cross-arm signs to ascertain if it is
an advertisement or if it really is a
warning of danger at a railroad cross
ing. Nothing can be said in justifica-
ton of the use of such signs to ad-
vertise goods. They have been made
familiar as a sign of danger, ano
if used for other purposes they will
lose their force as danger signs

DO YOU WANT 1T CHANGED?

Mr.. T. A. McNeill, Jr., chairman
of the Robson county Democratic ex-
ecutive committee, in a communica-
tion published elsewhere in this is
sue points out some suggestions that
have been made the county's Senator
and Representatives in regard to
changing the bond issue bill they have
put through. Citizens of the coun-
ty, who favor. the changes Mr.. Nc
NELL outlines should write at once
to Senator Cough or to either of their
Representatives, Messrs. ]. S. Oliver
and G. B. Sellers, urging that the
changes be made. 1t seems that it
Is not yet too late to make these
changes, but if they are made it
must be done quickly, for the Leg
islature will adjourn in two weeks.
1t seems to The Robesonian that the
changes purposedinMr. McNeill's article
would strengthen chances of the bonds
being voted, and it sees no objection
to making these changes. The mair
thing is to get the law in such shape
as to remove as many objections al
possible. The Robesonian believes tina
the law that has been passed is al
excellent one but if by making tn
proposed changes the bond issu
