Freight Rate
Reduction Necessary
Says Senator Harris

Urging a reduction in freight
rates in the southeastern terri
tory, especially in time to assist
in the movement of the crop Of
peaches, watermelons and canta-
loupes in Georgia, U. S. Senator
William J. Harris has conferred
with Commissioner ]. B. East
man, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, it was stated. Mr..
Eastman has been the represen-
tatiye of the Commission holding
hearings in the southeast and he
informed the Georgia Senator
that the entire question was now
under consideration by the Com
mission.
Senator Harris is quoted here
as saying that substantial re-
auctions in freight and passen-
ger rates were necessary to as
sist in the revival of better bust
ness conditions, and that the far
mers and fruit and vegetable
growers needed cheaper freight
rates to put their products on
the markets.
The Georgia Senator brought
to the attention of Commissioner
Eastman the reports of higher
earnings by southeastern rail-
roads as compared with other
sections.

Two Essentials in
"CIean Up" Effort

From some source in the CON-
munity there always is coming
the call for a Clean Up Day"
or a "Clean up Week. J"
, Whoever makes the suggestion
will mean we'll, but he or she
really would help the community
more by starting the slogan:
Don't call it a day nor a
!. week Lets have a. real cam
paign."
A day is merely pathetic, and
a week" is hardly long enough
to make even fair start.
Make it a, campaign! And
KEEP IT UP as long as may be
necessary to do a real job; then
renew it on the same basis,
spring-and fall, to get ready
for the indoor months. -
That's the first essential of any
successful community effort in
such work.
The second essential is to pub
licly commit to the new order OF
things, whatever is cleaned up.
For example, converting the un-
slightly dump into a playground,
or painting the vacant lot with
the green of grass and shcubbery
or a thrift gardsn-but, however
it be done, ''clothe it in the garb
of righteousness, and thereafter
its cleanliness and orderIiness
will be respected by everybody.
Eleven years of experience in
this work and in reading the re.
ports of the thousands of COM
munities that now conduct some
such work, have demonstrated
to the writer both the futility OF
community clean up efforts that
are merely "a lick and a pro-
mise" and the utility and effect
iyeness of the real campaign
we'll planned and properly con-
Quoted.
These facts are generally rea-
lized most of all by those city
official who look after the COM
munity cleanliness and health,
and generally with inadequate
budgets, It is impossible for
them to coordinate their efforts
with those of every householder
within a sixty day period, though
the public cooperation that can
be enlisted in a real campaign is
invaluable to them, and to the
community, in the visible and
lasting results secured and in the
sense of personal responsibility
for continuous care taking in
these matters that is inculcated
by such a campaign.
To Get the habit" is the
thing, and that never can be
done in the annual bath OF a
.e'day" or a week"

National Negro
Health Week

From April /, to April z, has
been designated as National
Negro Health Week. Last year
is the first time Health Week was
ever observed by the negroes of
Lee county, however we are glad
to recall the fact that the work
was a very good success consid-
ering it was so new. We shall
ever he grateful to the good
white folks of this county for
cooperating so heartily with us
in this effort.
Realizing the fact that we are
living as no two races ever dared
to live before in the history OF
civilization, living quiet and
peaceably together in the same
community, in the same towns,
and the same city with the
stronger race assisting the weak
err along lines of intellectual.
financial, physical and moral de-
velopment, it is no wonder that
America is considered the most
humane of all nations now exist
ing.
1t is not possible for two peo-
ple to live in such close proXimi-
ty and the physical condition OF
the one not affect chat of the
other. We are urging the ne
groes to practice more sanitary
habits in order that they will not
he a menance to the community
in which they live.
1t is not uncommon to see
colored laundresses doing their
work in unsanitary homes, and
many times cooks and maids
come out of homes where germs
abound, and even where some
member of the family is sick
with a contagious disease.
Many individuals are germs
carriers yet themselves are i'm
mune and may never develop
the disease that they give out
to others.
We are putting forth strenuous
efforts to correct the conditions,
for they are not abstract theory
but real concrete facts.
The following is the Health
Week program:
Sunday, April 1: Sermon and
lecture day.
Monday, April Z: hygiene udy'
talks by doctors and nurses.
Tuesday, April 3: Swat the fly
djy, destroy breeding places OF
flies and mosquitoes.
Wednesday, April 4: Tubercu"
lois day..
Thursday, April 5: Children's
Health day.
Friday, April 6: Church and
School house sanitation day.
Saturday April7; General clean
up day.
