THE ROAD PROBLEM

The road problem has been an I'M
solved problem in Robson for all
the years down to this good hour.
If those who oppose the bond issue for
good roads know better way to get
good roads, it seems a pity that they
have remained silent about it until
now, when they seek to find faults
in the bond issue plan. Those who
have studied the road problem all
over the country are pretty we'll
agreed that the way to get good roads
quickly is to issue bonds. Perhaps
the bond issue upon which Robson
county voters will pass in May is
not perfect plan. 1t is easy to
point out defects in church govern
ment, and anything else. The ques-
ton is, not whether the bond issue
plan is perfect, but does it offer re-
lief from bad roads, does it provide
ways and means for spending the
money wisely and honestly, does it
make as sure as it reasonably can
be made sure, that a dollars worth
of good road will be gotten for every
dollar spent? If it does these things
it skills nothing to point out a minor
imperfection here and there. The
Robesonian believes that once the in
telligent people Of Robson read and
understand the act that has been
passed providing for the bond issue
election, bonds will be voted.

GREAT SPREAD OF MEASLES

County Health Officer is Charged
With Making No Effort to Stop
Spread OF Disease and iG Severely
Criticised Therefor
To the Editor Of The Robesonian:
It is the opinion Of many of our
thinking people that the great spread
Of measles, with tits great suffering
and many deaths, could have been
prevented if Robson county had had
an efficient county health officer.
The first case that occurred in our
community was promptly reported by
the school authorities to DR.. Page
county physician. No attempt was
made to control the disease, not even
q single trip to our community was
made in an effort to control or to
c:-c.'.--o the disease. If the coun-
ty health officer had done his duty
by promptly quarantining this first
case, all the suffering caused by
measles would have been avoided
It also would have avoided the great
amount of suffering which follows
measles, such as pneumonia and per-
manent defects of the eyes.
Over sixty cases of measles have
occurred in our community, all but
one of which could have been avoid
ed if DR.. Page had complied with
the law by quarantining the frs
case. Failure to make any attempt
to control contagious disease is Grim
inal negligence and the people shoule
awake to this fact and see that mon
ey spent for health work is spent il
the right way.

don't seem to mind being given the

they refused to pass. They evidently
thought that bill proposed to put
the lid on a bit too tight, and there
ere some warm friends of prohibi-
ton in the Legislature who had nc
time for that bill. So far as The

care how dry bill is passed. Il

would pass bill to make it unlawful

The Robesonian is informed that g

The Robesonian is informed that a
woman took a child with infantile
paralysis to the office of a physician
up town Monday morning. In mention
ing in Thursdays paper that two
colored children had been discovered
with the disease it was stated that
DIR. B. w. Page, county health Of
ficeri had these cases quarantined
and that he apprehended no danger
of the disease spreading. The fact
that a mother was able to carry her
child to the office of a physician
would seem to make necessary more
rigid quarantine. And also it would
seem that the continued spread of
measles, with consequent danger to
life, would in time make the health
department abandon it's policy of
noninterference and enforce quaran-
time against this disease. Far be it
from US to question the wisdom of
the attitude of the department of
health. But all doctors do not agree
that it is best to refrain from tax
ing firm and positive steps to check
a disease like measles. It is certain
that the policy of gentle rebuke and
hypothetical advice does net seem to
stop the spread of the disease.
