BE VACCINATED AND
PREVENT SMALLPOX

"prcvent smallpox. be vaccinated" is
the advice given by many OF the Maine
lumber companies to their men.
Placards prepared 10y tho State De-
partment of Health have been very
generally used and have been posted
in conspicuous places in many of the
camps. The active efforts Of the llIm-
Der interests TO prevent q serious
smallpox situation in the camps are
proving Of great value to the State at
large as we'll as to the particular To-
calities concerned. The lumber camp
has often proven good place for the
spread of cOntagion and the general
recognition of the danger on the part
Of the lumber companies is of great
importance. The State Department of
Health hopes TO be in n position later
on to establish u division whose chief
work will be in connection with the
sanitary conditions of the lumber in
dustrN. At the present time reports in
tie Office Of the Department seem to
indicate that the smallpox situation is
well in hand

MUST GIVE MORE
HEED TO HIGHWAYS
Americas Problem of Feeding
the World Begins with the
Road from the Farm

With the State Good Roads Asso-
citation holding its sessions in Pasco
this week for the purpose of consid-
ering the road building program of
the state, the following appeal from
the national highways transport COM
mittee is of particular interest:
The highways transport committee,
Council of National Defense, has put
into operation the machinery of its
organization to the end that the urgent
request of Chairman Edward Hurley
of the U. S. shipping board for as
sistance in the moving over the high
ways of all food supplies designed for
the relief of the stricken peoples of
Europe, be carried out. This task is
one which extends to the personnel of
the highways transport committee
thruout the entire country and also
"a call upon the people of the United
States to give the pressing problems
of peace the same patriotic attention
and assistance furnished so enthusiast
tically by them during the period of
the war.
The meeting of this responsibility
by the highways transport committee
thru its eleven regional chairmen, its
state committees, its district and the
county committees, and community
organizations, means that the best eff
forts of this force, down to the last
man is to be put behind this program.
The cooperation likewise of the general
public will, as suggested, be necessary
to make the work success.
This cooperation all along the line
means that not only must the produc-
ton of food be given the careful and
intelligent attention, but that the
means for moving this food over ou1
highways in every section of the coun.
try in the most efficient manner pos.
sible be intensively stimulated.
Since Chairman Hurley called upor
the highways transport committee tc
render this service, Administrator HI
Hoover has in statements emphasized
the need for prompt action along these
lines.
Chairman Hurley's letter to the
highways transport committee is a:
follows:
"Our merchant marine of today ant
tomorrow viii carry a message o.
