Guarding Against PestD
 (Andalusia Star)

In every community 1t Is highly important that persistent cam paigns in behalf of public health be kept up during tho summer. Not . day should be permitted to pass without some effort being made to combat the things that cause and spread disease. Food should be carefully protected from flies. for 1t is through flies that food Is made unsafe. The filth ono fly can bring into . home may make an entire family sick. Kill the fly as soon as 1t appears.

Tribute to Tuscaloosa HnnfSVtl1o Tin, aeN

Tuscaloosa's normal vote Is much more than thousand. The people seemed to be so sanguine of success for the bond issue that they scarcely troubled to come out and vote for 1t. In all probability they knew about the strength that would be mustered against 1t. That there exists only a dozen and . half backward eiti- zens out of a population of ap- proximately 15.000 is a remarks able tribute to the sound patriotism and judgment of that city. A community that can meet its du- ties to the present generation of school children in that fine fash lon can be trusted to 20 very far.

Learning the Lesson (Selma Times-Journall


 The negroes who went North expecting to see their children at school among the whites are des- tined to find such privileges pro- gressively denied, until school conditions there will be adjusted on the same basis of segregation as obtain in the South. In fact, all of the adjustments of the rela- tions of the races in the South, assuring complete but friendly separation and differentiation, will in time become the established order of the North. and wherever these natural and inexorable lines of demarcation are infringed upon. trouble. swift and sure. is bound to follow. The North Is learnig the lesson and is adjusting its household to meet the new situA- tton.

 To the Editor of The Age-Herald: n awarding the contract for the auditorium to a competing firm Tor several thousand dollars more than our bid. the city commission CTS have done an unjustifiable, unethical thing which would have tendency to work us a grave harrN did not our achievements as col. actors, young as we are accused of being. show for itself in durable brick and stone. We have executed with entire sat;s- faction to architects and owners much larger contracts than the one now in question, and proof was not wanting to show that we could have handled this audito- rum proposition with gratifying ability and dispatch. We would be quite within our rights if we took legal issue with the commits sloners in awarding this contract over our low bid, but since it is given to capable men we have de- clded to waive our rights in the matter and not delay, by even a days contention, the building of an auditorium which has been we'll nigh despaired of by a long -suf- fering public. We feel that both professional pride and our pecu- niary interest should be subordi- mated to the general welfare of the community in which we live. We are, therefore, unwilling to nave an unseemly controversy over public building which has already been the occasion of too much painful agitation and cha grin. not to say scandal.
