PROGRESS IN MAGA-
ZINE ARTICLE

The South is Americas great
new industrial frontier! This is
the message of the leading article
in the latest issue of The Adver-
tiser'', national magazine of the
advertising business, and the
statement comes from an authori-
tative source. The author is AL
Ian T. Preyer, executive vice
president of the Wick Chemical
Company, former chairman of
the board of the Association of
National Advertisers, and a bust
nessman of national prominence.
The South has advanced in
dustrially while other sections of
the nation have stood still or de-
clined", declares Mr.. Preyer.
Government statistics on manu-
facturers, from 1900 to 1887, re-
veal a steady and sustained prog
ress for the South. The impetus
of this progress, backed by new
and increasing industrial oppor-
tunitieS, was sufficient to carry
the region. through the recent de-
p4eSsion to 1897, with a loss of
only three percent in the value
of its. products from 1929. The
loss by the rest of the nation, on
the other hand, amounted to IA
percent.
Why Southern business wea-
thered the depression better than
the nation as whole, Mr. Preyer
can state from experience His
own firm, the Wick Chemical
Company of Greensboro, N. c.,
chose the hard economic times of
1891 to bring out two entirely
new products. Vicks Valrtol-nol
for nose and throat and Vicks
Medicated Cough Drops, supple
menting the well-known Vicks
VapoRub. With Vicks as with
many another aggressive South
ern business, sales and payrolls
rose steadily throughout the de-
preston.
The ten-year period just clos
ed 1880 1940) has represented a
decade of progress for the South,
for it has brought numerous
beneficial readjustments", says
Mr. Preyer. Especially import
ant is the widespread diversified
ton of industry. which has prov
ed a Stabilizing influence. Among
the industries that have brought
diversitication and expansion in
the South are kraft pulp and pa
per. rayon, petroleum refining.
other heavy industries and tex
! tiles.

ANNOUNCE DEATH
OF CRITTENTON
WAS OLDEST SON OF FOR
MER PASTOR OF ST. PAUL'S
CHURCH HERE

Key West Episcopal church
leaders here were saddened yes
terday by news of the death De-
cember 5th of Father Lawrence
A. Crittenton at Canon City, Colo
The minister was the oldest son of

we'll known to number of church
members here.
He died suddenly of pneumonia
four days before he was to have
/ left Canon City for Long Island
City. n. Y, where he had been
called by All Saints Episcopal
church. He had been rector of the

Dixie-bound, Mr.. Preyer points
out that survey conducted dur
ing 1886 and 1887 showed that
more than $186,000,000 was spent
in process industries for new
plants and modernization in the
South-a sum which was $780,
100000 greater than that spent in
all the rest of the country COM
bined.
THE industrial strides made
by the South have been reflected
in the. whole economic life of the
region, says the writer. THE ag-
gregate resources of Southern
banks in 1888, for example, in
creased by more than six hun
dred million dollars over 1881.
The total Federal internal rev.
enue payments increased from
$3.50, 166, 900 in 1881 to $l,357, 516,-
442 in 1898. Life insurance in
force rose during this period by
nearly four hundred million dol
lars, and total wages paid innin-
dustry increased by some one
half billion dollars.
What lies ahead for the South?
There are definite signs that ever,
now point the way to new and
expanding fields of development
Again it appears that pulp manu-
facture-newsprint from South
ern pine, and sulphate pulp for
the regions $500, 100000 rayon
industry-will be the explosive
spark to set off the new adj
vance.
Development of these new
fields is good rot only for the
South, but for the economic life
of the whole nation. In fact. as
serts Mr.. Preyer. ''the picture oil
the South today is a welcome re-
assurance that opportunity is still
very much alive in this country
Of ours.

SOCIAL HYGIENE
DAY FEBRUARY 5
DR.. PARRAMoRE URGES CO.
OPERATION OF ALL IN IT'S
OBSERVANCE

DR.. j. B. Parramore, head of the
Monroe County Health Unit,
calls attention to National Social
Hygiene Day, which will be OBJ
served throughout the country on
February 5th.
Dr. Parramore states that great
er efforts than ever are now being
put forward in the interest of the
campaign to combat and deal with
the ravageS of venereal diseases
which have proved to be so pre-
valent in the past, and urges all to
cooperate in the movement, which
is taking on new life in all parts
of the nation.
DR.. Walter Clarke, executive di
rector, the American Social Hy-
giene Association, announces that
Social Hygiene Day will be the
spearhead of a concerted drive to
safeguard men in military and
naval training camps and in es-
sential industries from the raw
ages of venereal disease. The eff
fort this year is aimed at reducing
commercialized prostitution to a
minimum and keeping syphilis
and gonorrhea infection rates as
low as possible in army, navy and
defense industrial personnel.
Plans for the annual event in
clude more than 5000 community
meetings in all parts of the coun-
try and four regional conferences
to be held in Philadelphia. St.
Louis, New Orleans and Los An
geles.
Speaking at a recent meeting of
social hygiene executives and
medical officers in Washington.
DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur. president,
American Social Hygiene Associa-
ton and former Secretary of the
Interior, called upon the public
and civilian officials to cooperate
in making their communities safe
from infection.
1.-THE fundamental issue in this
social and medical question" DR..
Wilbur said, els what support will
the public itself and the civilian
officials give in cleaning up condi-
tons near camps and keeping
them clean. The Army and Navy
want their men healthy rand
sound, and will do what they can
to keep thc,,9 so. We know enough
now to control these diseases, but
do we have the applied common
sense to do so? II will mean to
fight greed and entrenched poll
teal forces. With the experience
of the World War we ought to
give the world an example of APP
piled preventive medicine in stop
ping the spread of the venereal
diseases.
