Intensive Health Work Soon
to be Started in Natchi-
tOcheS Parish

Reports from the State Board OF
Health indicate that the intensive
health work for which our Police Jury
recently voted unanimously to make al,
appropriation to cover one half of its
cost. will be. inaugurated about June
the first, provided physician meeting
the requirements of the State Board Of
Health and the International Health
Board of the Rockefeller Foundation
can be selected by that time. DR.. P.
W. Covington, who is organizing the
work, is soon to visit several states to
interview applicants with the view of
securing the most qualified physician
available to direct the work.
1t will probably be recalled that a
few weeks ago the State Board of
Health in cooperation with the Inter.
national Health Board of the Rookie
Teller Foundation offered to give S., 100
to three parishes in this state.
provided the Police Juries of the par
lshes selected made like appropria-
ton, with the understanding that the
SIC, 900 thus provided in each of the
three parishes would be used in EN-.
ploying a staff of sanitarians, consist
ing OF physician, public health
nurse, sanitary inspector, a clerical
assistant and some carpenters who will
devote their entire time to carving
out definite routine of work to de-
crease the parish death rate from pre-
'entable diseases. The object of the /
work is to demonstrate to the state as
whole, the value of Full Time Model
,Srlsh Health Departments. The two
'tner parishes selected are De Soto
md beauaegard. The sanitary inspec.
or, carpenters and probably the 1ady |
IericaI assistant will be EMPLOYED II

The National Guard.

A movement is on foot for the
local organization of a National
Guard Company, which is the right
step in the right direction. one that
is being taken in practically every
State in the Union, since the regu-
lar army has been reduced.
There have always been adyan-
tages to be gained by having To-
cal military organization and these
advantages have multiplied many
times since the before the. world
wartime and Natchitoches always
quick and ready to grasp every op
portunity that is for the public
good, cannot afford to let this one
60 by, and must get busy at once
as after June Both, the regulations
and conditions will be materially
changed, and organization will not
be as easy a matter as it is at pres
cnt.
The government will furnish the
equipment, armory, trained or
ganizer and pay every man accord
ing to rank for every drill and be-
sides the physical benefits to be de-
rived, the discipline and social ben
ehts, it is Ease of being prepared
for any emergency that may arise.
While there is little likelihood of
there ever being another war. let
alone during this generation. still
in time of peace, preparedness is a
great thing.
The National Guard movement
has the endorsement of our local
authorities and prominent people
and besides ex- servlcemen, all boys
who have attained the age limit,
should clamor for the privilege of
joining.

Senator Joseph E. Ransdell, of
this senatorial district believes in
active citizenship of women. In q
magazine article of recent date

= AT THE ELKO TOMORROW

4 Ethel Clayton, charming. Para
mount star, lovely heroine OF numer-
GUS film stories, never appeared to
better advantage in any photoplay
than in her latest vehicle, "The Price
of Possession" which appears at the
Elko theater tomorrow and Saturday.
This is picture of unusual merit and
dts thrilling story, massive settings
and flawless continuity, make it one
Of the outstanding successes Of the
Clayton screen repertoire. .->a
The scenes of the picture are laid
in Australia and England. The var
iety is refreshing and as the action
of the story never lags, interest is
kept on the qui yive from start to
finish. The scene in which Miss Clay
ton makes daredevil dive from the
window of a manor into the sea and
her rescue by the hero, is highly
effective form the standpoint Of
screen drama. The support is excep-
tionally good, the word OF Rockclife
Fellowes, the leading man, being
quite adequate. The direction by
Hugh Ford and the continuity by Eve
Unsell were of a high order and
merit. 49, .4s b. OH. 4, Ia
