Spread Through
Faulty Sewage
Boil Doubtful Water;
Thoroughly Clean Raw
Vegetables; Disinfect
Poliomylitis is spread by a virus in-
fection and is thought to be transmitted
from person to person because of a lack
of sanitary* surroundings, according to
investigators who have' definitely proven
that the virus which causes this disease
is found in sewage. It is believed to be
transmitted in a similar manner to ty-
phoid fever, and all means should be
taken to protect against every possible
mode of infection. These involve a lack
of a sanitary method for disposing of
sewage, lack of a safe water supply,
lack of a safe milk supply, lack of
safe food supply, improperly operated
swimming pools, breeding of flies and
possible contamination by rats.
Where there are faulty septic tanks
and poorly constructed surface toilets.
source of infection is prevalent and
corrections should be made at once.
Sewage that it unprotected from flies
should be disinfected by pouring i
milk of lime solution or any other suit-
able disinfectant over the material to
disiniect it and to keep flies from com-
ing in contact with it. If not certain
what to do; contact the City or County
Health Department.
In case of a doubtful water supply it
is best to boil the water before drink-
ing or before using for domestic pur-
pose'
A scfe milk supply is most impor-
tant. II it is impYsible to obtain pas-
teurized milk, get Grade A raw milk. To
these people who have their own milk
supply heat the milk to the boiling point
before consumption. By doing this, the
virus which causes the infection will be
killed just as it is ir* pasteurized milk.
The food supply should be protected
from contamination by rats and flies.
The handling of food should be accord-
ing to the sanitary rules and regulations
as set up by the health department.
Operators of public eating places and
public drinking places should instruct
their employees ajaout oersonal cleanli-

Truth or Consequences
Says Weekly Editor
1A preacher at the close of one of
L|is sermons said: “Let all who are
playing their debts stand up.” In-
stantly every man, woman and child,
with one exception, rose. The preach-
er seated them and said: “Now every
man not paying his debts stand up.”
The exception noted, a careworn,
hungry-looking individual clothed in
last summer’s suit, slowly assumed a
perpendicular position. “How is it,
my friend,” asked the minister, "that
3rou are the only man not to meet
his obligations?’’ "I run a weekly
newspaper,” he meekly answered,
“ynd the brethren who stood up are
my subscribers and—”
“Let us pray!” exclaimed the minis-
ter.
(Editor’s Note—We do not believe
thk can be said about Carrollton, but
It would help a lot if our subscribers
would look at the date immediately
fallowing their names and if their

For Lone Star Marines
Tough Drilling Is Fun
SAN DIEGO, CALIF., July 30 - A
tough and grizzled drill instructor of
the Marines turned his head, pointed
to a hill and bellowed:
“All light, you boots, just beyond
that hill is a Jap machine gun nest
that’s knocking off your buddies. Go in
there and get it.”
It was just a simulation of battle con-
ditions. but as far as the Texas recruits
were concerned it was the “real thing.”
Over the top they went, and when they
plunged down the other side, where
the enemy theoretically was embanked,
they did so with all the vigor and sta-
mina that six weeks in Recruit Depot
at the Marine Corps base here, could
develop.
All-Texas Squad
The 10 men composing the all-Texas
-quad were typical representatives of
the Lone Star State's contribution of
ts young men to the war effort and to
the Marines. The squad was part of
Recruit Platoon 413.
Nine of the men were 18 years old
and single. They were Privates Mylum
Ache, 1504 East 15th Street, and Wil-
liam Beck, 400 Donley, both Big Spring;
Richard Brawley and Wayne Collier,
both of Holliday; HAROLD MURRAY.
CARROLLTON; James Stanley, Dallas;
James Keoghan, 1034 10th Street, Port
Arthur, Martin Main, Wills Point; and
Fred Kilpatrick, Abilene. The only
married man, Private Benjamin Hobbs.
Jr., 30, was from Longview, where his
wife, Nadine, lives at 212 1-2 East Col-
lege Street.
All were working at the time they
entered the service and nearly every
one was active in sports in high school.
Their business activities ranged from
cigar salesman to truck driver.
Course Near Completion
The 10 men were nearing the com-
pletion of their seven weeks’ recruit
training period and this day was just
another page in the short chapter on
learning how to be a Marine—a chapter
necessarily made short by the impact
of a sudden and threatening war.
San Diego’s coast line where the Ma- j
line recruits train is typical of many
places in the South Pacific and these,
boys really got to “feel” the situations '
faced by the Leathernecks who had pre-
■ ceded them to the Marines’ Pacific out-
posts.
The obstacle course, designed to ac-
quaint the “boots” with various phases
of Marine warfare, provided just one of
the many tests thrown at all Leather-
neck recruits in the seven weeks of
basic training.
From an entrenched position, they
were given their instructions:
"Now, men, here’s the situation. This
obstacle course doesn’t look like any-
thing you’ll run into in any combat
area, but when you go over it you'll be
loosened up and ready to overcome the
many natural and artificial obstacles
which you may run into ‘out there.’
Forget It’s Practice
“Just forget that this is practice and
get in there and dig.”
The first obstacle they encountered
after going “over the top” was a series
of chicken-coop looking runways, and
with rifle held at high port the Texas
Marines were up and down them in no
time at all.
From there on in it was a sequence
of running through boxes set almost
knee-deep in the ground, hauling them-
selves across horizontal ladders, swing-
ing by rope from one ledge to another,
going “up and over” a nine-foot wall,
crawling through tunnels, hoisting them-
selves over horizontal bars set at vary-
ing heights and simulating bayonet
charges against the enemy.
TexanvS Take It
And so in another week they will Jjc
ready to "graduate” from recruit depot
and become f Al fledged Marines, leav-
ing behind them the traditional handle
of “boots.” Some will be scheduled to
go into aviation, some into the Fleet
Marines, others to the various schools,
such as motor transport, parachute,
radio, telephone, clerical, and cooks and
bakers. With more advanced training
in their specialized fields, they will be
ready to meet “all comers"—providing
they’re Japs or Nazis.
Yes, these men from Texas can take it,
even though the endurance-straining
activities of the day had them winded
As they came tlirough the last “ob-
stacle,” one of them gasped:
“Sir, this • is fun, but when do we get
a chance to put all this into action?”
