person to contract contagious
disease in one country, board an
airplane and arrive in another
country long before the incubation
period for the disease has expired.
Diseases can spread from place to
place around the globe faster than
they used to travel from state to
state. Recognition of this hazard
was shown on July % of this year
when representatives of 81 nations
signed the constitution of the
World Health Organization, the
first fully empowered information
al agency in public health. This
beginning of teamwork between
countries was also recognition of
the fact that good health of all
peoples is fundamental to lasting
peace and security"
"We in Mississippi can make our
contribution to better health as in
dividuals and as communities, !"
Miss Smith added. I'VE must know
how disease is spread and how the
spread can be controlled, what we
can do in our own homes and how
we can lend our personal interest
and aid to Community improve
ment. We should know what health
services are available through the
local health departments, and use
those services. BY information and
more widespread health education
we should learn how to be on
guard against the diseases that con-
stantly make war on our well-be-
ing. BY pulling together, using
wisely the facilities and agencies
already established, we can i'm
prove not only our physical health

Landlords Curb
Lease Renewals
For Apartments
Some Anticipating
Early End of D. c.
Rent Control

Anticipating an early end of rent
control, an increasing number Of
apartment house owners here are re-
fusing to renew leases and placing
tenants on month-to-month basis.
1t was learned today.
Washington's Rent Control Act.
which has no connection with the
control OF rents under OPA, expires
December 81, 1s47.
Despite this fact, landlords are
taking no chances of finding them
selves bound to long-term contracts
In the event the new Congress leg
islates local rent control out Of
existence.
Repeal Doubted.
One rental authority, however,
pointed out with many members of
Congress in the tenant class while
staying in Washington, he doubted
the local act would be repealed.
The practice of avoiding renewal
OF leases became more general when
the present act for Washington was
pending and there was some doubt
Of its final disposition, this authority
said.
Rufus s. Lusk, secretary of the
Washington Building Owners and
Managers Association, confirmed the
practice Of landlords and comment
ed: II don't see why any landlord
would renew lease now"
He stressed that renting on q
short-term basis has been a long
standing practice of some operators
even before there was any rent
control.
Home Leases Differ. 4
Another authority pointed out that
this is not the practice in renting of
private homes, as owners usually are
anxious to take a long-term lease.
The District Rent Control ONCE
reminded that a tenant cannot be
evicted, in any event, unless he is
creating nuisance, attempts to sub
let without prior agreement with the
landlord, or the owner desires the
apartment for his own use, or plans
to sell 1t or is making major altera-
tionS.
