WHITE BLACKBIRD IS
REPORTED ON SHORE

A "white blackbird," a most I'M
usual oddity in the bird line, has
been reported seen at Rising Sun,
Md, during the past several days.
Residents who have spied the bird
perched in trees on Cherry Hill St.,
say that it is all white, with the ex-
ception of a small brown marking.
1t is one of a flock of blackbirds,
which has been congregating on that
street.

Farm Tenants
Have Yet Time
To Buy Farms

There is still time for farm tenants
and laborers to apply to purchase
farms in Worcester County under the
Farm Security Administration ten
ant purchase program, it was ex-
planned here today by Marion L.
Wheatley, the Farm Security Admins
tration supervisor in Salisbury.
Tenant Purchase Loans are made for
40 years at three per cent interest.
Any farm tenant or farm laborer is
eligible to apply. Loans will be ap-
proved, to the extent of available funds
to applicants who have the character,
ability and experience deemed nee
essary for successful farm ownership.
Selection is made by the County Ten
ant Committee, composed of three pub
lic-spirited farmers who know farm
people and farm land.
Members of this Committee are
Letcher L. Colona, of Pocomoke,
Chairman; R. Newell Stage, Jr., and
Albert w. Dickerson, both of Snow
Hill.
Mr.. Wheatley stated that loans
would be made only for the purchase
of family-type farms, which the Coun-
ty Committee approves as economically
sound units, and productive enough,
when properly operated, to provide
living for the applicant and his fam
lily.
"Under the Tenant Purchase Pro-
gram, the farm has dual job, Mr..
Wheatley stated. cit must produce
a living for the family, and enable
them to repay the loan. Consequently,
the family is called upon more than
ever, to follow sound, efficient prac-
tees.
"To help meet this need, we assist
each borrower to lay out sound man.
agement plans. Of particular import
ance are the keeping of accurate ac-
counts, and the raising of as much as
possible of the family's food and feed
for the livestock, on the farm"
1t was pointed out by the Supervisor
that the borrower does not have to
take full 40 years for repayment. He
may pay off his loan in full any time
after the first five years.
"The 40-year clause serves mainly
to keep annual installments down to
low figure" he explained. "Thus,
the borrower is protected from too
great a burden during the first few
years before he has had time to ac-
cumulate reserves"
To be considered for loans under
this years program, interested farm
ers should file their applications i'm
mediately. Applications should be adj
dressed to Mr.. Marion L. Wheatley,
Supervisor, Farm Security Admins
tration, Post Office Box 373, Sails
bury, Maryland.

State Dep't's
$ Explanation AS
To Your Health

Because it answers the question so
often asked by youngsters-and others
not so young what is Public Health?
the following memorandum is brought
to their attention by DR.. r. FL. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health. It was written a number of
years ago by one of the pioneer lead
ers in public health in this country,
DR.. John S. Fulton, the first full-time
Director of the Maryland State De-
partment of Health who was appoint
ed to that office in 1896. He retired
because of failing health in 1928 but
continued as Director Emeritus until
his death in 1881.
Health" DR.. Fulton wrote, "has a
personal meaning for everybody, but
the full meaning of the word is only
realized when something as we say
'endangers' the health, and then, very
often, when it is too late.
Public health though closely relat-

nifty much to most people. What is
public health? 1t is the sum of the
health conditions of a country or COM
munity and is most conspiciously eX-
pressed by the extent to which sick
ness prevails and death occurs.
GAS matter of fact, public health
is a very complex resultant of all the
factors in the life of a community
because all have some bearing on the
health of the individual. The very
houses in which we live, the offices,
shops or factories in which we work;
the sort of work we do; the purity or
lack of purity of the food we eat, the
air we breathe, and the water we
drink; our customs; our amusements;
our recreations; our habits, all have
something to do with our general
health.
"On that account, it is practically
impossible to think of the health of
the community without associating it
in some way with the health of the
individual. You or I may follow all
/ the laws of health so far as we know
them, but unless we are adequately
safeguartled by community measures,
our health defenses are exceedingly
weak.
"Since the dawn of time, people and
governments have given some thought
to health, both of the individual and
of the community. The old Greeks
paid homage to Esculapius the god of
medicine and side by side with his
temple was frequently found that died.
icated to his daughter, Hygeia, the
goddess of health.
Modern scientific discoveries and
especially those relating to the causes
of disease, have put means in the
hands of the people of today that the
ancients never dreamed of. These dis
coveries are the foundation of public
health as it is put into practice today.
Progress in public health means pro-

Ten Thousand Dollars A Day

FIGURES compiled by the motor vehicle division of
the Arizona highway department reveal that over
thousand foreign automobiles enter Arizona every
day Using the very conservative estimate Of $40 spent
In the state by the occunants Of each this tourist
trade amounts to $4,000 every day in the week
to Arizona business interests.
In the month of April, 194O the number of tourist
cars passed the 1000 per day average. The itenzed
report at the checking stations on the borders for
April showed total of 3O883 foreign automobiles en-
tering Arizona This compared to total of 25074 for
eign entering the state during the corresponding
month of 1889 It an increase of 5000 cars or lit
tie more than 20 per cent.
Among the foreign license plates on cars entering
Arizona in April were noted those from such far
away points Alaska, Hawaii, Canal Zone, BAHIA
mas, Guam, Philippine Islands, Puerto Rico and San
Salvador
Lupton on highway 66 reported the largest number
Of foreign during the month with total Of 7849
This station was closely followed by Ehrenberg on
u S. 60. which reported 7176 foreign automobiles
terng the state through that port of entry Next in
order came Topock, Alp; Duncan, 4,O68 and Yuma
1896
Ordinarily, figures dull reading but when they
represent such a profitable business as the tourist
traffic, they assume very material interest to Ari
