Typhoid an Index of
Community Intelligence
(Oregon State Board of (health)
How would you measure th« intelli
gence of the community in which you
live? Would your measuring stick be
the number of schools, or the number
of churches, or the miles of paved
streets found within its boundary? Or
would it be the degree of practical ap
plication of the laws of sanitary sci
ence? The sanitarian’s yardstick is
the number of cases of preventable
communicable diseases which exist in
the community. Cleanliness is next
to godliness; they are one an J insep
arable. Freedom from infection and
from pestilence gives rise to a healthy,
vigorous community, which ia further
reflected in. an increased number of
schools, churches and other civic pro
jects.
Typhoid fever ia a filth borne dis
ease. It is commonly spread by the
contamination of food, particularly
milk;»and by contamination of water.
It may also be fly borne, or transmit
ted through soiled linen* or direct
contact. Where the community in
telligence level is low, the typhoid fe
ver rate is high. The state of Oregon
* a whole ha* shown a marked de-
■rease in the number of cases and
deaths from this disease in the past
five years. Thia is evidenced by the
following table:

Typhoid fever ia a preventable dis-
ease, and a* euch the 134 caaes and 16
ieaths in the past year are a severe
indictment upon the intelligence of the
oeople of Oreg >n. We know that milk
and water are the common vehicles
for typhoid infection. What have we
dine, what has your community done
to make both of these necessities of
life pure, and free from disease
germs? What has your community
done in the protection of its food sup
What is
ply from the filth of flies?
the sanitary intelligence of your com
munity? The answer is in the num
ber of cases and deaths of typhoid
found among your citizens.
#
Let us apply our knowledge of san-
tation and rid Oregon of typhoid fe-
’•r. Let us begin our long delayed
projects of sewage disposal.
Our
ivers, our lakes and our well« have
lecome grossly polluted because we
have allowed filth to enter them. It
ia not too late to reclaim them and to
retqrn t*lem to a cleanliness which
existed before your community was
fettled. Low cost of materials, an
'abundant and eager supply of labor,
and availability of financial help are
aH conspiring to make properly con
structed sewage disposal plants with-
n the readh of every community. Rid
your community of typhoid fever.
Protect your milk supplies. Insist
upon cleanliness not only of the bam,
the milk house, or of the milk plant,
out also a scrupulous cleanliness of
-he person of all those who engage in
the production and distribution of the
milk. Remember that properly pas
teurized milk is the only safeguard
.gainst milk borne typhoid.
Community intelligence is but the
sum total of individual intelligence.
By your own observance of the laws
of sanitation you can materially aid
in further decreasing the typhoid fe
ver rate in your community and in
this state.

Elmer Wilson Protests
Elmer Wilson, of Brewster valley,
wa* in the Sentinel office Tuesday
morning, and said he was the driver
of the milk truck referred to in last
Friday’s issue of the Sentinel. He
objected to the expression “hogging
the road” which wa* used. We did
not say he wa« a “road hog," which
implies that a driver is using more
than his half of the road. But what
we did object wa* a driver's attitude
that everyone must get out of a
truck’* way. When this writer’s car
met Mr. Wilson'« truck a couple of
week* agi at a narrow bridge where
two cars could not possibly pass, it
was to us a case of stop or be hit—
and we stopped. The truck did not
slow up at all. Mr.Wilson says he
would have gone off the bridge if
necessary to avoid hitting us, but, of
course, we did not know that. Further
he say« his brakes had been working
perfectly before and also later, but
they did not work when he tried them
at the narrow bridge.
A due regard for the rights ol
others is all anyone can expect from
the drivers of cars he meets, and we
do not yet feel that Mr. Wilson gave
this proper consideration when he
drove at the speed he did, and could
not stop.
No matter if he is careful to give
half the road, as he claims he alway«
does, it does not alter the feeling ex
