Tho conditions relative to malaria at Conway were carcfully investigated by Mr. E. L. Filby, State Sanitary Engineer, and a full report has been made by him and his associate, Capt. L. M. Fisher. t From a letter dated August 12th : from the Engineer's office addi\ s ed to the Secretary of the Chomber we learn that it is extremely problematical that mosquito production can be prventrd here owing to ih: swamps along the river which arc. usually flooded during the month.; from May to October. The latter shows, however, that we are not limit.-d t> the prevc.nfi\>n of mosquito production in controlling malaria. ThP methods suggest ed to be instituted against Malaria in Conway are briefly outlined as follows: 1. Educational me.thods. 2. SCreehinjjk n'f all bsd rooms in the town. f 8. Inducing people to sleep under mosquito bars (bed nets.) *?. v^<* iti 1111 muni|uibvun in uturooms if they enter in spite of screening precautions. 5. Examination by micnvscopist of blood of population for presence of malaria parasites. ( (5. Systematic ti'eatment of positive cases with quinine supplic.1 without cost for a period sufficiently long to effect positive cure. 7. Small amount of drainage work to destroy breeding1 placeclose to the town. To accomplish this there should be provided a full time health officer, a miscroscopist for about two months during the. summer and a citizcns committee whose functions shouM bo to coope.rate with the health officer. A competent health officer could probably be obtained for $2400.00 a year. The expense of screening, quinine administration, etc., would Srobably cost $3,000.00 or more, rainage work would probably cost not less than $2500.00. Oiling about $500.00. In addition to this there would probably be some minor expenses. It is believed that a microscopist could be obtained without cost to the town and supervision of the work if it is decided to undertake f.uch work at Conway, will probably be supplied by the U. S. Public Health Service. While Conway is not so fortunately situated from the standpoint of malaria control as some towns in the portion of the state* where malaria is a serious factor, nevertheless a very great deal of good can be accomplished if a program is adopted somewhat along the* lines Indicated in this report, and the money so spent would undoubtedly bivng high returns. :f the town authorites will obligate themselves to moke available about six thousand dollars off the fir.-t y<nr, or as much thereof a* may be required, and engage to maintain the work in the future., the matter of obtaining additional funds to supplement this amount "v'll bp taken ur> with the proper authorities. It appears probable that a certain number of towns will be selected this year in which to do malaria control work under a cooperative program between the State Hoard of Health, the Internationa! Health Board, tW IJnitg.d St"to^ Public Health SqyyicQ, arid th^ Town Authorities. Several to'svn* have already made ppnlicatioft fbv the benefit of i^Vis cooperative'rir-' ranjrenunt. Ti,': rV"\v:)y desires td profit i*\* this scheme, and to undertake' t'-r vx-ovk along the lines out* iin'-?t i'.h"ve. we will be fflad to hear furt'-cr from you. .

IS WIDE AWAKE j Looking After the I\leed3 of To':acco Interests This Season I ADD TIONAL CARS ARE SECURED BY EFFORTS I ? Additional Storage Rooms i i Were- Supplied at Their Request ? There was an article in this paper recently, regarding the crowd el condition of tobacco warehouses at Con-' way, and stressing the need of i prize houses and additional room of! some kind, in which to handle Che crop. Some portions of the article may have given the impression that The Chamber of Commerce had failed to do very much in relieving the condftions which prevailed last year, j The Herald has seen a large batch i of correspondence and copies of j telegrams anl letters, -which prove, i I beyond any doubt, that tho Conway j Chamber of Commerce, by means of its prompt handling* of this proposition, procured cars to be sent to Conway in August, and which took care of what otherwise would have been a serious condition for farmers, j This correspondence shows that the efforts of the Chamber had effect and that additional cars were I s .nt here as a result of their ef-1 forts. It is also beyond doubt, that The j Chamber of Commerce succeeded in securing: much additional floor space for the use. of tobacco buyers ii! the county, and shipping of the to-1 bacco purchased. As a result of | their efforts, the company was part- ! | i%> \/i ^aiu/iU\i in tii^ UTr^niiuu^ "i tir , spring to build a costly prize house;; i but in the end this could nof b;> | j done, owing to the lack trr materials, i shortage of labor, and the ' evident1 I impossibility rf completing the build ing in time to do any good. Then | the "Chamber turned its e^fo:ts to | securing buildings already up. The j old warehouse of Mr. Thompson i has been usc,d* the old garage build-j ing of Conway Motor Company was j offered, and we suppose used, while , Mr. G. B. Jonkins offered floor ! space for the same purpose. | The Herald wishes to sav, that; ! this paper is sure that The Chamber] of Commerce is thoroughly on the> job; and that thov have not only d^ne all that could be done this -eas^n. but will continue thoir ef# ; ) <5 SEPTEMBEE2^"l 930. mm, *i -31SI, ti E .1 CLERK WVES j OK COURT SHERI ff - ?
