Radio is to have a car. A sort of
Judge Lands with time signals.
And maybe cash prizes.
Broadcasters, advertisers and in
dustry have formed joint commit
tee to eliminate radio evils. 1t has
been decided to name a head man
to clean things up His first test will
be to prove he can start functioning
without a commercial.
''Radio today is far from per-
feet" syas one committeeman.
This is the understatement of the
generation.
Any and every industry has some
faults. But radio is the only one that
has subsidized and glamorized them.
The things that annoyed the public
in 1925 are still annoying it, but over
more networks and with more cash
prizes between exasperating mo-
mentS.
1t seems to have been the idea of
the sponsor and the advertising
agent that commercial isn't ade-
quate unless it makes the ultimate
consumer writhe.
Study the commercial of 1925 and
of 1947, and you will come to the
conclusion that it has merely grown
longer. And, worst of all, developed
particularly annoying technique
through which the fellow spouting
the commercial leaps into the act
before the entertainer has fully
finished.
The radio man crashes in to
praise washing powder so swiftly
he telescopes the news broadcaster.
The soloist doesn't finish her final
note before the guy with the tooth
paste spiel whams in from a rum
ming start.
How about some listeners on that
board, including some top showmen,
couple of family people and the
guy who just split his radio into
pieces with a Ratchet?

Community Health At Stake

in the storage of garbage by ho~useholders.
Metal garbage cans, with tight cover should
be used, as other and inadequate types be-
come breeding places for flies and rats, one
a known carrier of polio and other diseases,
and the other a spreader of typhus fever-in-
fected fleas.
We also believe that the city should move
at once to secure adequate chlorination of the
city's water supply as q measure of health
protection. We note that the Board of
Health's report states that no meteorological
analysis of the water supply has been made
since May 18th.
Such a check is a function of the County
Health Department and, particularly in
view of the lack of ch~lorination, should be
made at frequent intervals as the Board of
Health report points out.
All of the above conditions have a direct
bearing on the health and welfare of the
citizens of the county. Purchase of the
necessary equipment for the installation of
a continuous fill disposal system is expensive,
and probably beyond the Nty's finances. We
believe that the city should receive county
aid in this up to at least the purchase of the
necessary equipment, with the city bearing
the expense of maintenance At least some
move should be made without further loss
of time to effectively protect the health of
the citizens.

Impetigo Needs
Attention BY
Good Physician

Impetigo is a catching disease
of the outermost layer of the
skin. Little scab-covered sores
or blisters appear, from which
seeps a thick, sticky, yellow or
brown fluid. Scratching to relieve
the itch causes sufficient injury
to produce the minute bleeding
that results in the diseoloration
Of the seab. The scabs pile up
on one another as the secretion
dries and is plastered on the sore
and the surrounding skin.
Children frequently have impe-
tigo. Since the disease is spread
not only by direct contact with
infected spots but by articles han
died by the infected person,
schoolbooks, pencils, pens, play
things, towels and such things
should not be shared or used by
others. Door handles or articles
that must be used by other men,

Everyone these days seems
to be gone, going, or to have
just returned from a vacation.
We fall in the last bracket
and are now beginning that
week of rest during which you
attempt to recover from the
vacation you have just had.
The weather was hot when
we left, torrid while we were
gone, and second only to the
fire and birthstone are at this
writing. We sit here between
two fans which languidly stir
the hot air and wish we were
in an air conditioned drug
store, atop the north pole, or
most anyplace where it is
cooler.
Standing neck-deep in a shady
creek somewhere might do it,
or sailing in the gulf, or per-
haps sitting under a big UNI
brella on the beach.
We suffer in hot weather and
are not of the school that pre-
fers hot weather in the winter
and cold weather as they swell
ter in the summer heat. We
have no difficulty donning
enough clothes to be warm in
the winter time, in this eli
mate, but we can not be cool
on the streets in the summer
and remain decently clad.

1t is on days like this that
our thoughts return to Maui,
one of the Hawaiian Islands
where we spent some time dur
ing the war. Most of the tales
of Pacific Paradises" are pipe
dreams conceived in the minds
of a Hollywood screen writer
who has never been west of
Pershing Square.
That is particularly true of
Oahu Island, where Honolulu
and Pearl Harbor are located
and where hula skirted maid
ems r found only in the bur
lesque show and the sound of
stunning Hawaiian guitars
energies only from the juke
boxes.
But unpublished Maui. is a
jewel, third largest of the Ha-
waiian chain and lying ninety
miles north of Oahu. It's year

crisp, cool mornings, warm
middays, chilly nights when a

A report made by the State Health De
partment this week that the garbage col
lection and disposal system in Pascagoula
is "insanitary and unsatisfactory" brings
once more to light a situation that this
newspaper has pointed out for several years.
Both the disposal system and the collec-
ton system are a menace to the health of
the city's people.
We have pointed this out, both editorially
and pictorially, many times. Approximately
two years ago the county agreed verbally to
purchase a drag line or a bulldozer from
Army surplus material, where county and
municipal governments receive whacking
discounts, and the city was to operate it
in the installation of a continuous fill gar
bage disposal system. This method, which
has proved its effectiveness in hundreds of
Army camps and communities throughout
the country, would be the most effective and
economical answer to the problem. A trench
Is dug, filled with garbage, another trench
is dug and dirt from the excavation used to
fill over the trash in the first trench.
Under this method, the city would cease
to have huge piles of rotting garbage stack
ed virtually on its back door steps as a breed
ing place for disease carrying flies and rats.
If an ordinance does not already exist, one
should be passed prohibiting the use of open
pasteboard and other insanitary containers

We spent several months on
Maui at one time or another
during the wal and found it
even in those unhappy days the
most beautiful spot we had ever
seen. Emerald green with lof-
ty peaks, a blue lake here and
there, and bright flowers the
year round-it was Hollywood's
brightest technicolor in real
life.
We could imagine just how
peaceful it had been before the
influx of service men during
the war and the pineapple and
cane fields dotted with tenn
porary installations.
The capital and largest city
on the island is Weiluku, a quiet
and beautiful little city about
the size of Moss Point with one
hotel and the usual stores and
business houses of a city of
its size anywhere.
Most of the islands inhabi-
tants are of Oriental origin
Filipinos, japanese and Chi
nese-With just a sprinkling
of the native Hawaiians and
a handful of Americans and
Europeans who are known as
'haoles' meaning literally
white men" in the Hawaiian
tongue.
We thought, too, of the civili-
cation that had existed before
the coming of the haoles who
had in turn imported the ORR
entails as laborers on the cane
and pineapple plantations.
Life was a continuous vaca-
ton for the Hawaiians in those
days. They lived on the coast
section of the islands only,
fished for sport and food, swan
in the surf, and were a peace
loving and happy people. No
wonder they were no match for
the invaders who came as
friends and introduced them to
the delights of moonshine
whiskey, poker games, and So
cial diseases!
The inlands that were once
considered worthless by the ma
tives are now priceless for the
cane grows twenty feet high on
the rich slopes and the value of
the sugar produced runs into
the millions of dollars annual
ly..
But the beauty and wonder

we will take a real vacation to
that beautiful spot.

Older people, however. NAV
have impetigo. In their case
some serious underling disease
such as diabetes or chronic neph-
ritis may be present. The earlier
these are recognized the better
the chances to control them.
Longlasting impetigo may cause
more than skin damage by sensi-
tizing the patient to staphyloeoe-
CT and streptoeicci, ever-present
germs. Thorough search for some
existing chronic disease is inn
perative in older persons suffer-
ing with impetigo.
If you suspect that you or any
member of your family may have
impetigo. do not depend on mex
pert advice. The quickest and
safest cure calls for professional
care as needed by the individual
case.
