THE U. S. MAY RECOGNIZE
RUSSIA AS FARLEY RESULT

The American Government, in its
future course toward Russia, will be
guided largely by the efforts of Euro
pean Governments at Genoa to bring
about a new situation as regards
Soviet rule. And if the Genoa con-
ference effects a basis satisfactory
to the United States for recognition
of the Russia as a defacto Govern
ment, there is evidence that this Gov
ernment may follow the lead of the
foreign powers. At the present mo-
ment' it is said on highest authority
the American attitude on the question
Of recognizing the Soviet Government
is evactly where it was when Hughes
wrote his letter some months ago set
ting forth the conditions upon which
the United States might act.

! MUCH INTEREST
IN HEALTH WEEK
County Health Officer Writes Tell.
ing OF Plans For Public Cam
paign April 1929.

(By DR.. D. Armstrong. County
Health Officer).
The week beginning April 23, and
ending April 20, has been designated
by the Oklahoma Public Health AS
sociation as public health week. dur
ing which time the citizens are asked
to cooperate in the promotion of
health and the prevention of disease.
as County Health Officer of Bry-
an County, urge upon the citizens
Of the various towns, and communi-
ties Of the county to formulate some
plan or organization which will best
promote the public health interest of
their respective communities.
The work should begin with a
meeting called for the expressed pur-
pose Of formulating an effective Or
ganization to carry out the plans
suggested by the Oklahoma Public
Health Association.
The Mayor, or in rural district, any
public spirited citizen is the logical
one to call such meetings, and at
these meetings an effort should be
made to secure the active support of
such bodies as the Churches of the
community, the schools, the Rotary
and Lions Club. parent-teachers, and
ministerial associations, and all other
civic organizations.
Sunday, April 90, has been desig-
mated as the day for health promo
tion, and the prevention of diseases.
Disease prevention talks should be
given before Sunday School audien-
ces, church congregations, and the
ministers are urged to give an ac-
tive health sermon at the regular
service on this day. While Sunday
School workers and all other reli-
gious workers should devote a part
Of their Sundays service to the all
important subject of health, as no
greater religious work can be rem
dered than to support measures that
make for individual health, and a
clean community.
Monday, April "a, has been set
apart as community clean up day, and
every citizen is urged to thoroughly
clean their home by burning all
trash and rubbish, and by the free use
of soap and water. The whole house
should be open to fresh air and sun
shine, all trash, rubbish and garbage
from the house and yard should be
removed to the alley on street for the
garbage removal wagons, or burned.
Many localities have greatly increas-
ed public interest in clean up days
by arranging for a common bonfire
for all the community trash, and it
might be that such bonfire in Du-
rant would be destructive to many
a disease germ.
Tuesday, April %, the work out
lined is practically continuation of
the previous day. Be careful Of fires
burn trash only in metal recepticales,
or places designated for that pur-
pose. Farmers should burn all old
straw stacks, as straw piles harbor
rats, and are breeding places for
flies, one of the greatest germ car
riers the medical science has to COM
bat.
Wednesday, April &c, has been de-
signated as the day for fly, insect
and rat determination. This day
should be used in destroying all fly

The heavy rain of last week did
considerable damage to roads and

paper that the Secretary of State
has the idea that people who drive
horses should obey the law regarding
lights as well as those who drive
autos. This may be a kindness to
the very ones called to account, as
it would take pretty stiff fine to
be as serious as a bad accident.

share of the new federal aid appro-
priation by Congress for the fiscal

The last appropriation was signed by
President Harding on June 10 and
calls for S50,000000 for the fsca
year of 1923. For the fiscal year of
1924, the appropriation will be $685.

w Oscar Kemp of Bellows Falls,
for Al years an employee of the old
u. S. Canada and American Express
companies has during the past week
been retired on life pension. His
service was largely in the local
office as clerk and agent of the COM
pany, but for number of years he
acted as express messenger between
Burlington and Boston. His father
before him was many years employ
ed by the company.
G L Gregoire and company of
Barre were the lowest bidders on the
Orange Heights highway project
when bids were opened June 9th at
the state engineers office. Their bid
was $102,069.15, which was over $10;-
600 below the next highest bid. The
project is Ell miles of gravel road,
and includes considerable amount of
grading. When the job is completed
the maximum grade on the project
will be eight per cent.
The tire ruse on the part of the
hold-up men is reported to have been
worked on a travelling man about
five miles from st. Johnsbury on the
road to Danville recently. The travel
ing man saw the new tire in the
road, stopped and went to pick up
the tire, thinking in the meantime
that he might be stepping into
trap but resolved to go ahead mas
much as he had stopped. AS he
stopped over to pick up the tire, a
revolver was thrust against his ribs
and he was ordered to hold up his
hands, which he did. Then two other
men went through his pockets. The
thugs secured S62 and quantity of
cigarets. After thinking it over, the
thugs returned one cigaret and one
dollar, the later to buy gasolene with.
Investigators who have been spend
ing some time studying into condi-
tions where the Ranger bridge be-
tween Woodsville, NJ H. and Wells
River was washed out at one end
early in the spring by high water
after repeated borings, have an
nounced that, although there was a
boulder under each pier of the bridge, |
still bed rock was some % feet below
the pier nearest New Hampshire and |
from 10 to 16 feet below the other.
To build piers so far into the water
would necessitate large cofferdams
and the removal of many tons of |
sand and other material which is ex-
pensive to handle, and the engineers
have recommended the erection of a
one span structure and are making an
estimate of the cost. 1t will be i'm
possible to erect a new bridge before
next summer, as the steel work would
have to be made and the erection
would take several months after the
material was all at hand.
