Going To Buy a Farm?

When the United States entered
the war in 1941 about 100000 of the
nations 100000 Negro farmers were
tenants and sharecroppers. In fact
100000 were share troopers, ac-
cording to census figures. Well,
with farmers getting better prices
for their crops, and with a few of
them going to industrial centers
taking war jobs there is a natural
tendency to fulfill desire of long
standing to own piece of land. In
some areas farmers have taken
their industrial earning and bought
one, two, three, and some times five
acres and paid cash for it. In other
parts they have gone into debt buy
ing a larger acreage.
However the Farm Credit Adj
ministratiOn issues word of eau
ton about buying farm under
war conditions in circular E 20,
about That Farm You'reGoing to
Buy published by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. The cir
cular points out that the test of a
good buy is the size debt the farm
vii carry comfortably, not at pres
ent prices of farm commodities,
but at prices likely to prevail af-
ter the war
Says the circular: 1T would be
different story if you could buy
farm and agree to pay for it with
about eighty 200 pound hogs year.

debt, expecting to pay for their

Rutland Urges Steps
10 Avert Spread Of
Scarlet Fever Here
Health Officer Reports
200 Cases This Month;
Mild Thus Far

Reporting more than 200 cases of
scarlet fever in the District this
month, DR.. George c. Ruhland, Dis
trict health officer, today issued a
call to physicians, parents and school
teachers to cooperate in stopping
the spread Of scarlet fever before 1t
becomes a major outbreak.
The last epidemic Of scarlet
fever In the District occurred in
1885. The disease is now rather
mild,' DR.. Rutland said, adding
that parents might make the mis-
take Of failing to call a physician
and after few days send the child
back to school where he could spread
the disease among others.
He urged parents to be on their
guard and to call a doctor in time
to establish a proper quarantine
warning that failure to diagnose the
case would invariably result in the
spread of the disease. He said the
first symptoms of scarlet fever is
restlessness and fatigue. and that
usually there is a sore throat and
fever, with the skin dry and hot
DR.. Rutland then listed four steps
for parents to take If their children
show symptoms of scarlet fever:
Call the doctor, put the child in a
room by himself and do not allow
others to go near him except those
needed for care; the patient should
have his own dishes and Asilverware,
which must be boiled after use, and
the linen and clothing of the patient
should be sterilized; and the patient
should not get up until the doctor
says he has recovered, because the
heart and kidneys are often affected
by scarlet fever.
Dr. Rutland said that "a study
Of the periodicity Of scarlet fever
by the archaeological service of
the Health Department indicates
that the city is entering a period in
which the recurrence Of scarlet fever
is evident"

WAC Is Substitute

Helen Spencer, for 13 years a teach
er at Paul before. joining the WAC
last March, visited the school Tues
day and talked with Thomas F.
Ferry, school principal. The WAC
corporal thought at first Mr.. Ferry
was joking when he asked her to
step in as substitute for an absent
teacher yesterday. But he took her
up on it when she said she would.
She's lots Of fun" said Gertrude
Donaldson, 13, of 729 Fern place
NV. "She told us all about the
WAC and about her uniform"
sit up straight" Corpl. Spencer
told her music class. The class noted
the military bearing of its WAC
teacher and followed her example
Corpl. Spencer has not lost her
knack with ruler. She showed this
a little later when she tapped sharp
ly on her desk to restore order. But
her instructions are a little diffen-
ent now.
"At ease" she said. What does
that mean in the Army?"
Don't talk" some youngster re-
piled.
Asked what they would like to
sing, the children Immediately sug-
gested the WAC song" That was
not published yet, the corporal told
them. So the class compromised
on THE Army Air Corps"
Corpl. Spencer will report back
to Fort Oglethorpe, Ga, today with
the pleasant memory Of returning
to her former profession for a day.
She enjoys her work of interviewing
and classifying new WAC recruits
and instructing others in personnel
work. But when the war is over
she plans to 60 right back to teach
ing. Meanwhile her one-day art
and music classes at Paul are not
a little proud of their exclusive
standing as students who had a
