PAGE SIX THE CUNTON CHRONICLE, CUNTON, S. C. THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1924 ' : • i : KEEPING WELL; [ PAINTING FOR HEALTH p*. nuBPmon k. omum ■Mtwr of “MKAI>TH” COLLEGE ADDS NEW COURSES jpAINT lg a life-saver. * Not the kind that goes on the Clare, bat the kind that goes on the pall. At first thought there would seem •e be no connection between paint and health, yet recent Investigations have dhown that fresh paint Is a valuable antiseptic. Mr. Henry A. Gardner of the Insti tute of Industrial Research at Wash ington painted a wall surface and then qprayed It with a liquid culture of disease germs. A similar wall space, anpalnted, was also sprayed with the eame germ culture. On the unpainted area an abundant growth of disease ferms developed, while on the freshly painted area the germs died. The explanation Is simple. An un- palnted, rough wall Is porous and moisture Is absorbed by the wall and retained for a long period. Most dls- •ase germs can only grow on moist substances. If the wall U painted, the pores are filled up with paint and a rough, absorptive, damp surface Is changed into a smooth, non-absorptive, dry surface. , A painted wall can be easily'cleaned, while an unpainted wall cannot b$ washed successfully. This scientific demonstration has been borne out by practical experience. In the early days of our knowledge of disease germs, fumigation was gen- •rally used. If It didn't do anything else. It at least made a bad smell, very much like ti e Incense nj»d~Atrong odors that primitive man list'd.to scare away disease. Rut the New York health de partment Is now using paint rather Chan fumigation for sterilising rooms which patients with contagious dis- wases have occupied. In a maternity hospital in St Louis there were over a hundred cases of puerperal fever with a high death rate. ■Doctor Starkloff, the health commis sioner, ordered the hospital cleaned and the entire place repainted, includ ing the floors, ceilings and Inside walls. After the painting puerperal fever almost entirely disappeared In that Institution. This sounds reasonable when we consider that paints arc made up of srhlte lead, turpentine and other anti- septic substances. Spring Is s good time for cleaning. A. fresh coat of paint In a house or hospital makes It not only better-look* la*. but a clean and healthful place In which to live. Paint not only preserves a structure end Improves its appearance, but U •Iso Increases Its bealthfulness. Good health Is largely a matter it «tfUed common senee. St we live In clean surroundings, oar bodies clean and strong and dean air, clean food and dean r, we will be In Hide danger from Departments to Include Public Speak ing, Physical Education and Theory of Music. Announcement has been made that college credits will be given during the coming session at the Presbyter ian College of South Carolina for three comparatively new fields of study. * Credits will be given by the college authorities in the department of pub lic speaking and debating, which will be under the direction of Prof. Henry Lilly; in the department of physical education, which is receiving the full time of Coach Walter A. Johnson and his assistant, Lonnie S. McMillian, and John Townsend, who directed the college glee club, will offer a course in the theory of music. These three departments will be emphasized during the coming ses sion and will, it is believed, fill a popular need. Mr. Townsend in ad dition to directing the glee club, will offer a course in the theory of musid, which is expected to prove popular. The need of public speakers and more particularly of persons being able to speakjn public when occasion demands is apparent to Almost every^ one. The institution of this depart ment is expected to fill a need long felt by many students, but also to prove popular. , The importance of physical educa tion has been emphasized from time to time, many of the larger corpora tions of the nation employing only men who have received education of this sort to direct their more impor tant undertakings. With a splendid new gymnasium to be completed in time for the activities to be held there and with two full-time instructors in charge, Dr. D. M. Douglas, president of the institution, believes that the local institution will be as well equip ped in this department as any other college in the country. Much atten tion to the department of physical education has been given here in the past, but regular college credits will be given during the coming session to students doing this work. The Presbyterian College also has a reserve officers training corps and students have opportunity to spend six weeks during the summer at a training camp.

Jones, director of finance of the Democratic j national committee, from his head- j quarters in the Belmont hotel today announced the appointment of Wil-' { Ham E. Gonzales of Columbia, S. C., director of finance for the state of South Carolina. Mr. Gonzales, as director of finance for the national Democratic commit tee for the state of South Carolina, will organize for the collection of funds to defray the expenses of the Democratic committee in the coming election. “The chances for success at the November election,” said Mr. Jones, 1 “are as good as we could want them; as we see it success depends entirely upon the ability of the campaign com- 1 mittee to get the cause of Democracy well before the voters of the coun try. That great work can be accom plished if Democrats now come to our support with the ‘sinews of war.’ “The Democratic party has the greatest opportunity and responsibil ity that has confronted it in genera tions. The situation is comparable only to that in 1912 when Woodrow Wilson was so fortunately placed in charge of the destiny of our coun- -try- “In John W. Davis, we have a lead er of sagacity, courage, breadth of thought and understanding -seldom combined in one individual. The only xeal sane progressive thought and leadership in the United States is presented to the voters of this coun try in the person of John W. Davis.” York and 'Chester counties yere well represented. Richard Fewell, of Rock Hill, re tired president, presided at the ban quet. After the eats talks were made by Dr. W. R.
