Public Health Notes
DIR. Hardie B. Hays in Amory

| Dr. nardIe Is. Rays IN AmOry
One among the best things Amory
has had this term was lecture a given
by DR.. Hardie B Hays on Social
Disease. DR.. Hays is now Director
of Bureau Venereal Diseases of our
state, and is touring the entire state
with a fully equipped car with
lectural slides on social diseases.
Every town in the state can not
have the opportunity of having
these lectures. Amory got them
through their wide awake Parent
Teachers Association. From OBJ
serving the things done for the
school children, l am inclined to
believe Amory has the most pro-
gressive Parent Teachers Associa-
citation In the state
Mr.. Hays gave his lectures so
forcefully and so interestingly, [
dare say the mothers, fathers, boys
and girls of Amory are thinking
more deeply today than they ever
thought before. We think nothing
can be done, or let nature take its
course, and many other excuses
when our thoughts are on the sur
face. but shake your brain up 81 wee
bit and you see the impossible.
Germany thought it impossible to
pay the great debt, but when ruin
stared her in the face. she readily
saw the impossible. The most i'm
pressive point DIR. Hays gave was
that you shall know the truth and
the truth shall you free. Let me
add: If you are freed by the truth.
you are free indeed"
Amory has a population of 900
people. DR.. Hays had the pleasure
of talking to nice crowd the three
lectures, but just think how many
more could have heard him and
what a treat they missed. Will all
| who heard him start the ball roll
ing? How shall we begin? Where
does everything start? Or where
should everything start? In the
home. Should it stay in the home?
Build fence around your home
and you will kill it. Let your light
so shine that others seeking your
good works may light their candle
Will you help light the whole world
| with the truth?
