•
The Community Sanitation Pro
gram recently started in Umatilla
and Morrow counties is now well or
ganized and under way, and many
farmers, grangers and rural school
districts are taking advantage of
this splendid opportunity to secure
a flyproof, odorless and sanitary
toilet at very low cost.
The project is sponsored by the
state department of health and the
U. S. public health service in con
junction with PWA. Earl Nutter,
who is directing the work in this
district was in town Tuesday, lining
up the program and work will be
started here as soon as plans are
complete and work is finished else
where.
To get a sanitary toilet, a farmer
need only pay for the material at a
cost of between $18 and *20. PWA
will provide the labor and will with
one day’s notice bring the building
to the farm and erect it. All of the
buildings are erected ahead ot time
and are moved intact to their rest
ing places.
• Such a project is a safeguard
against typhoid fever, as it has been
proved conclusively in the states
where it is now operating.
Those who wish this service may
apply to Earl A. Nutter, PWA office.
District No. 1, Pendleton. Informa
tion may also be obtained at any
lumber yard in either Umatilla or
Morrow counties, or from the coun
ty agent, county doctor, county
school superintendent, the county
borne demonstration agent, county
nurse or county judge.
An order has been placed for auch
construction on the Columbia school
