HELP TO RID COUNTY
OF THIS BAD RECORD
DR.. Olin West Tells Of Bad Advertise
ment That Comes From B.ount
From Preventab'e Diseases

made possible by the cooperation of
the county court, which body made an
initial appropriation of 5000 for help
ing to pay the cost of operations,
The work, under the immediate direc-
ton of DR.. K. A. Bryant, Field
Director Of the Bureau of Rural Sani-
tation, was begun some seven weeks
since and, in spite of unfavorable and
unusual weather conditions, has pro-
gressed fairly well.
In the first seven weeks 227 rural
homes were surveyed; schools have
had medical inspection of the child
rem; lao persons have received ty-
phoid vaccinations; 81 sanitary
closets have been built for as many
rural homes; number of public
health lectures have been delivered;
number of microscopic examina-
tions for the diagnosis of hookworm
have been made; and other activities
of a public health nature have been
conducted The people generally in
the communities covered by these
operations have shown an interest
that is encouraging and it is believed
that a sentiment for better health
through disease prevention has been
created which will grow and continue
to grow.
The State Board of Health is exe
tremely anxious to continue the work
it has begun in Blount county, for
The same reasons that led the Board
70 inaugurate the present campaign.
Especially is it desired to carry on
this work through the Spring and
Summer of 1920, in which seasons
conditions are far more favorable to
more widespread end more compre-
hensive operations. To this end tins
County Court will be asked to give
further cooperation and to appreciate
the sum of $2400 for nine months
additional work. This amount is a
comparatively small part of the total
cost of the work to be done. The
value of the vaccination which will be
done for the prevention of typhoid
fever will alone exceed the amount
the Court is asked to contribute to
the work.
The attitude of the medical pro-
fession of the county with respect to
this health campaign is worthy of
comment. These physicians have
given evidence of their adherence to
the highest ideals of their profession
by endorsing and actively cooperat-
ing in the work conducted by the
State Board of Health for the pre-
vention of disease, and thus have
shown the spirit of the true physician
who always seeks to serve the best
interest of humanity.
The people of Blount county are
deserving of all that will help them to
live lives of fullest usefulness. The
county has a wonderful future if its
native resources are properly develop
ed. In no way can its people be
helped to usefulness, nor the county
be made to yield more to the COM
merce and to the prosperity of our
State, than through the proper safe
guarding of the public health.

Maryville and Alcoa are to have a
real live, peppery boosting organiza-
tion known as the Kiwanis club, and
the name chosen by the twenty-five
charter member signers Monday
night is the Maryville-Alcoa Kiwanis
club. The creed of this organization
as outlined by the Birmingham club,
one of the first of the 200 clubs
formed, is published on this page.
Monday night twenty-one members
of the Knoxville Kiwanis club, head
ed by George Selig, came to Mary
vile, and with twenty-five Maryville
and Alcoa men, had dinner at the
Mary Blount cafe, when temporary
organization was effected. The re-
quirement is that there shall be fifty
charter members. The twenty-five
who signed Monday night, each pledg-
ed to bring one or more to the meet
ing Thursday night at 8 o'clock at
the Mary Blount, when it is hoped
that the full number for organization
will be there. Every one Of the
Maryville and Alcoa men present
Monday night, signed for member
ship.
According to the plan of organiza-
ton, each separate line of business or
industry is allowed two representa-
tives. Thus two men will be taken
in representing the hardware bus1-
ness, two physicians, etc. 1t was
stated that Maryville and Alcoa have
125 business classifcations, thus al
lowing the local club membership
of ESQ, but club of 100 or 125 will
be one of the strongest in the state,
and it is hoped this number will join.
The Kiwanis club will do much 70
centralize the business and profess
sional interests of the town, and it is
believed that through its work great
results will accrue to Maryville, Alcoa
and Blount county.
The Kiwanis club is not to take
the place Of commercial organiza-
tion, which it is hoped to form here,
but it will be one of the best guaran-
tors of successful business organiza-
tion.

KILLS PLAYMATE:
YOUTHFUL TRAGEDY

Cecil Bonner a lad of about 18
years old, shot Albert Waldroop, a
younger boy, last Friday, which re-
suited in the death of the latter. The
boys seem to have been playing, and
in some fun or scuff1e the shooting
occurred. At the hearing Bonner
was certified to the circuit court
where his case will be disposed of.
1t seems that the Waldroop boy threw
tobacco in the Bonner boys face,
precipitating the shooting.

FORMER ATTACKED LATTER
WITH KNUCKS, WHEN LATTER
FIRED

Levi Patty was killed at the home
of his brother-in- n-law, Giles Hannah,
near Townsend by Hannah Sunday
morning. 1t seems, according to the
story, that Patty had threatened
Hannah accusing him of having
stolen his still. He went to Hannah's s
home, had one hand tied in red
bandanna handkerchief under which
was brass knuck. He attacked
Hannah, and Hannah's brother start
ed to run. Patty then jumped at the
brother, and Giles Hannah emptied a
shot gun into his back as he tried to
jump out of window to escape the
Hannahs. He had $977 in his pock-
cts, besides notes.

Average intelligence.

There have been a number of re-
ports about the results OF the psy-
chologic tests In the army which are
not particularly encouraging. or
curse II Is all very well TO find that
more than half of those taken In the
draft were Of IN average or Of a
higher intelligence and that four ont
OF every 100 were of a "very superior
intelligence and eight to ten out of
every 100 of superior intelligence.
This VIII probably average up higher
than what would be secured IN any
European country, but the fly in the
ointment Is the high relative percent
age of those who are "below average
intelligence, or of an inferior intelli-
gence or are "very inferior" with
several grades and degrees even below
the 'veryjnferior."

Nelson's yietery Cups.

Recognition of the English silent
navy which did so much 10 win the
wal has come in the presentation Of
two communion cups to the Royal Ma
val Barracks church Of Portsmouth,
England. These cups were used on
Nelson's flagship Victory In the battle
of Trafalgar, Thus the glory that Was
Engiand's in the earlier days joins
hands with the glory OF the present,
and the spirit of Nelson Is linked with
the spirits of the brave men who stood
by In all the long months of the North
sea vigil. Nine years ago these cups
were given to a church In Glasgow.
The widow Of the rector of this par
ish now gives them to the navy as the
most fitting holder of the goblets,
which were made about 1900.
