VisitOr:

Madame New Orleans, will you tell me
why you are not like other cities? Why
are YOU so different?
The Washington times., 1936-12-17
Madame NeW Orleans:

Bien, mon ami, as I've said, I try not to
boast >. not even when you tempt me
so strongly.
The Washington times., 1936-12-17

But, for my friends, and for those who
want to understand, | sometimes try to
analyze myself. And I'll do it for you.
We are a port and our waterfront has
for centuries attracted the ships and car
goes, the merchants and the seafaring men
of all nations. They have added deeply to
the color of New Orleans life and their
contribution has not abated today.
We are one of the few publicly owned
ports of the world . . and in its operation
we have not sought to extract profit from
those who use it. That has given us a
great advantage in the building of COM
merce and industry.
We stand at the conflux of all the tribu-
tary waters of the vast Mississippi Valley
system and every Tom Sawyer born on or
near any of the streams that flow into the
Mississippi has dreamed of the day when
he would let that water carry him down
to the sea at New Orleans. And these
boys of 81 States have come with Mark
Twain to New Orleans to add another
rich touch of color to life here g. and the
products of their factories and the raw
materials for their factories have helped
to build the business of our port.

DOROTHY DIX:

T like to live in New Orleans because of the inter-
ng cities in the world and unique the United States Because
history lies in its old buildings and lures you down the
streets of the Veux Carre Because is leavned with the Latin
blood that gives imagination and puts laughter its lips and
that keeps from being hard place where slave
make money!

Visitor:

My dear Madame, you are absolutely
right. l am telling you that you are
charming. am telling you that in your
Old Quarter, in your remarkable eating
places, in the sylvan loveliness of your
boulevards and parks, in the modern
beauty of your Canal street, in the gen.
uine warmth of the greeting you have
given us you display qualities that are
beyond our comprehension.
Here you are Old World in your cul-
ture, Modern America in the present-day
expression of that refinement; part of
America, in step with the commercial and
industrial progress of America, actually
leading America in the achievement of
recovery, and yet you have not lost your
art of pause, the art and grace and rare
beauty expressed in your Mardi Gras.
Here you are -. your port teeming with
loaded ships, barges, trucks and trains,
busy all day :. and yet after dark the
gayest and liveliest of American cities.
Frankly, dear Madame, your visitors are
puzzled. Won't you tell us how it comes
about E. how it is possible for you to be
so many different cities at the same time
and for you to play so we'll each role?

Madame NeW Orleans:

Let me in ending tell you, My Visitor,
that am convinced that because in New
Orleans we love life and spend it carefully
for the full enjoyment of every minute,
instead of us losing this rare quality which
you so admire, we are going to be the means
of imparting that quality in increasing
degree to the rest of America.
I want you to look with DR.. John Erskine
upon New Orleans as a possible birthplace,
or nurturing place for a new culture
that is distinctively American . . retain
ing the values of the old and adding all
the new values that have been lifting our
nation to higher plane of living.

people not to feel that we are superior

that we are different. So perhaps it is
better that you should answer your own
question.

preston with our united forces and
we have conquered.
Is it, then, any wonder that we have risen
with you in the American spirit of achieve
ment, while at the same time those of you
who have come from other States to live
in New Orleans and in Louisiana have
absorbed the warmth of our culture and
the color of our tradition? 1t is natural
relationship that must endure.
I must finish, lest keep you too long. I

Health Department Has
Suggestions To Avoid
Getting Typhoid Fever

The Montgomery County Health
Department, through DIR. V. L. Eli
colt, health officer, has issued the
following statement of precautions
against contracting typhoid fever:
The occurrence of typhoid always
means that someone has been care
less; usually, but not necessarily, the
patient himself.
In Montgomery County a steady
improvement in sanitary conditions is
causing a drop in our typhoid rate.
Only three cases have been reported
in the county, another was probably
infected outside and the third was
a county case. 1t lead to the dis
covery of a carrier. This small
number of cases in the first six
months of the year represents good
start, but what will happen from
now on depends largely on the care
which people take during the vacation
period. It is carelessness in select
ing drinking water and food that is
most apt TO lead to typhoid. Many
a case comes from drinking from a
spring or stream which though clear
and cold may be heavily infected
with typhoid germs. It win be q
long time before sanitation in the
rural areas is good enough to make
our streams and springs safe from
contamination. In the meantime we
must play safe and drink no water
which is exposed to surface drain
age. If it is necessary to drink
water of unknown safety, boil it
beforehand.
