THURSDAY, JUNE 25,
TIME TO START
SWATTING FLIES
DOCTORS SAY
The killing o a housefly today
may prevent the death of a baby
from tvnnoid this summer.
The time to swat the fly Is now
when It is breeding its millions.
The way to eliminate the fly is to
destroy the infested places where
It breeds. In the words of Walt
Mason:
"The early fly's the one to swat,
It comes before the weather'sewt.
It sits around and cleans it Ugi
And lays almost a million egss,
And every egg will hatch a fly
To drive us crazy by and by."
Oregon's campaign against flies
and the elimination or the polluted
sources of water supply are hailed
by the headquarters o tne poik-Vamhill-Marion
Medical society
and the Marion-Poik-Vamtiill Dent
al society as the two big agencies
which have reduced the typhoid rate
in OrcRon to one of the lowest in
the nation.
"The fly breeds in the garbage
can and lives in filth and then
people still wonder why it is that
the common housefly has become
such a menace to health of the
babies of the nation," declares the
medical society's warning. "The
fly plays around where the typhoid
and other disease germs anouna.
On its feet and legs it carries the
disease and filth which brings dis
ease and suffering to mankind and
Its children. -
"Scientists have calculated that
the progeny of a single pair of flies,
during the active season, is about
195,312,000.000.001). wow just sup
pose that some dutiful citizen want
erf to better the health of his com
munity by swatting the fly. If he
had an indestructible swatter and
an untiring arm and killed an av
erage of one fly every ten seconds
for 24 hours a day, he would have
amounted for only 8,640 files. In
just 0,193,303 years he would have
finished off the last of the progeny.
Of course, many other ' progenies
would have lived and died before
that. If he had prevented that pair
of flies from breeding he would have
saved himself a lot of work and
would have led a more useful life.
"Now is the time to rid the home
imri surroundings of flies and filth.
Sunshine and health will take the
place."

County Tourist Camps
Greet Travellers With
Modern, Clean Cabins
There is one summer crop in Oregon that manages to get
along fairly well without any special cultivation, but with
interest and special attention is promising to work into a
flourishing all- year source or in-
come that means a financial boost
to Marion county. The crop is
transient, unstable, and yet even,
chambers of commerce .point to it
with pride. It comes in automobiles,
stages, trains and even airplanes,
and is a phase of Americana known
as tourists.
Aside from the police department
that always has a reception com
mittee on hand to welcome the flat
car tourist, the Marion county
health department Is the civic or
ganization that takes the major
brunt of caring for the tourist, and
the fact that the crop flourishes in
healthy fashion can be laid to the
county health department's Interest
in the tourists' comfort and well
being. Not only does the county sanitary
officer, H. C. Sinks, working out
from the health department, make
it his business that the highways
are kept clean to delight the eye
and safe-guard the health of both
the traveler and the community,
that water and food at roadside
stations are safe to drink and eat,
that roadside accomodations are
kept in sanitary condition, but he
keeps a careful eye on the more
than 50 tourist camps in Marion
county. In other words, he is the
county's "contact man" with the
tourist crop, and his job Is to see
that tourists are attracted to Mar
ion county in a way that they de
sire to come again and to tell oth
ers of their pleasurable impressions
and experiences here.
One can find all types of tourist
camps in Marlon county, or at
least, they could, but under the
constant supervision of Mr. Sinks
there is Just one kind of tourist
camp that Is slowly forgtng to the
front the rtght kind. Camps that
were built several years ago are re
ceivlni constant encouragement,
and where need is shown, a good
deaf of artful directing. In making
a modern, sanitary surrounding to
greet the tired tourist with enjoy
able prospects of a comfortable
nieht's sleep.
Probably the most modern tourist
camp in Marion county is situatea
right on Salem's very doorstep, a
$30,000 Investment that Is being in
creased at the present time, and
vet promises to turn in a profitable
income to its owner. Before its
proprietor laid even a stick of lum
ber he consulted with the county
health department concerning the
sanitary requirements laid down by
law for the tourist camps.
A minimum requirement of so
much light space, so much air
space, sleeping and cooking com
partments separate, sanitary toilet
accommodations, a covered fly-tight
garbage can and screens, is de
manded by law In each modern
tourist cabin; and these laws were
not only strictly adhered to in the
new modern camp recently built on
Salem's doorstep, but even Im
proved upon. Colorful linoleums,
paint in a resttiu and pleasing col-
combination, accommodations
that are duplicated generally only
In the most modern of private
homes, have been used lavishly to
make a tourist camp that Is re
ceiving much free good-will adver
tising from the tourist trade.
Prominently and proudly dis
played is a sign that states: "This
camp was inspected on June 11, and
found to have a safewater supply,
sanitary toilets, sanitary garbage
disposal, and it otherwise meets the
rules and regulations of the Ore
gon state board of health applying
to the general sanitation of such
camps. Marlon County Health De
partment." A tremendous contrast to the
cheerful, strictly modern camp
that extended its own invitation
through the very excellence of ac
commodations offered was a camp
In the northern part of the coun
ty Just closed by Mr. Sinks. The
reporter was invited to go along
and see.
The camp had been of first class
quality two years ago. But poor
management and lack of ambition
had allowed the top of the fine
well to be torn off until it was a
menace to children and animals
and placarded with an "unsafe,
contaminated water sign by tne
state board of health; flush toilets
QUIET OF RANCH
operated by an electric pump two
years ago In such state that new
ones were sadly needed; parti
tions had not been erected in the
one medium-sized room that
served as both sleeping and eating
quarters; the entire camp had a
disheveled, woe-begone, down-at-the
heels atmosphere that repelled
and discouraged even the poorest of
tourists.
"Condemnation Is our last resort,"
said Mr. Sinks from his mouthful
of tacks as he posted the sign, 'No
Tourist Camping Permitted. By
Order, State Board of Health."
These people Just didn't try to
manage this camp. The proprietor
has slipped out to California. But
when this camp is put in decent
shape again, we will be only too
happy to take these signs off and
give it all the cooperation possi
ble. "There's a lot of betwlxt-be-
tween camps in Marion county, but
they are all sitting up and taking
notice of the proper way to do
things. The health department only
emphasises the necessity of sani
tary surroundings, safe water sup
ply and sewage disposal systems.
But the individual owners are tak
ing a genuine pride and interest in
making their camps attractive and
restful. We don't rush 'em to get
improvements, but let them take
their own time as long as they con
tinue to show interest. And I'll say
this for the tourist-camp propriet
ors, they are all A-l in cooperat
ing." Mr. Sinks is genuinely enthusias
tic about Marion county and its
delightful kladeoscopic scenery.
"Just about every kind of scenery a
person can wish for," the county
sanitary officer enthused, "and
with the right kind of encourage
ment, these tourists are going to
bear the glad tidings of Marion
county to a wide section of these
United States."
To Illustrate his point about "ev
ery kind of scenery", but mainly to
check up on the camps at the state
and private owned parks at Sil
ver creek falls, the sanitary offi
cer took the reporter from Wood
burn to Mt. Angel, SUverton, and
over the Silver Creek highway. The
personal contact touch which Mr.
Sinks gives his work was exempli
fied when he stopped his car to
talk to a farmer in the SUverton
Hills district about prospects for a
new schoolhousc in that district.
For Mr. Sinks has everything else
In the county, besides tourist camps,
in his sanitary check-up, and not
the least of his work is devoted to
school buildings.
Nearlng Silver Creek falls, the
sanitary officer spied a camp lo
cated by the rushing creek. His lit
tle green car stopped with a squeal
ing of brakes. "Gosh, I'm sorry to
do that." Mr. Sinks said ruefully.
"Got their tent all set up and nice
ly located, everything ship-shape
for the drizzly weather; but they
are right beside a stream that Is
used for dimklng water, and that
Just isn't done to this day and
age." The sanitary officer dragged
himself out of the car, strolled
over, and talked amicably with the
occupants of the tent, stroking the
big police dog as he did so. "Well,
they were nice folk", he said as he
climbed back into the ear, headed
for Sliver Creek falls. "They said It
wouldn't take 'em long to pack up
and go over to the regular camp
grounds: and they're the kind of
people I won't have to chase back
and check up on.
"Trouble? Not very often. Some
times I know I'm considered an
awful butthuky and nosey, but it's
a Job that has to be done, and
most people are willing to cooper
ate when they once understand.
Every now and then I have to get
a little bit bothersome, but it all
works out In the long end. There
was one old lady who had a shop on
the highway, selling sandwiches
and things like that, and I had to
keep after her until she put In
sanitary washroom and toilet. It
cost her fifty dollars and she Just
hated the sight of me. But the last
time I saw her sho confessed to me
she sort of thought the new Im
provements might be helping her
trade.

WATER SYSTEM
AT CRATER LAKE
READY AUG. 20
Crater Lake A new water sys
tem, under construction for the rim
area of the Crater Lake national
park. Is expected to be ready for
operation by August 20. furnishing
a larger quantity of water with in
creased pressure.
Steel pipe will replace wooden pipe
that has been in use for some time,
bringing water from a spring be
tween Government camp and the
park lodge and will in operation
when the lodge opens the latter part
of this month.
The water from this spring will
continue to be pumped into five
wooden tanks on a small hill in the
camp ground area, until the com
pletion of a 200,000 gallon reinforced
concrete tank.
A spring is being tapped on the
slopes of Garfield peak and will flow
by gravity through steel pipes to the
same tank, excavation for which has
been begun 135 feet above the lodge.
Together with the force of the pump
at the lower spring, and the high
location of the concrete tank, water
pressure at the rim Is expected to
average in the neighborhood of 275
pounds.

bedding right beside the biggest
pile of fresh manure you ever saw.
and their table parked beside a

parents had come in the day before,
practically destitute, only too anx
