"SANITATION APPROVED^' A NEW SIGN ALONG THE HIGHWAYS TO INSURE HEALTH PROTECTION WATCH FOR IT By H. E. Miller, Chief Engineer North Carolina State Board of Health A general public exasperation has been expressed in speech and in print on the subject of the desecration of the landscape by unsightly billboards and signs along the highways. North Carolina's budding consciousness of "things beautiful," that has been so tenderly fostered and nourished by the patrons of art, has been enraged and well nigh blighted by the growing spectacle. Reprehensible as this tendency may be, in it's most ghastly aspect, it cannot compare as a spectre of hide-ousness with the dragon that rears himself in the path of the thousands of our citizens diligently burning gas at five cents per. to help the highway commission build more good roads. This new dragon was conceived when the first service station operator brought in a bucket of water from his polluted open dug well in the days of clincher tires when "cranky tin lizzies" were cranked, to entice the perspiring motorist to stop for a drink of water and incidently a few gallons of gasoline. The slimy pup (if baby dragons be called pups) liked the prospects, and so when it dawned on a neighboring service station operator that comfort station facilities might attract more customers, the dragon winked his eye in fond anticipation. True enough, the comfort station toilets soon became foul, illkept, and a model in the abuse of sanitation. Our dragon winked his other eye and reflected "life here surely looks promising." Now that the ribbons of concrete have rapidly penetrated the "lost provinces," climbed the mountains and straddled the swamps, there have blossomed out countless service stations seeking by every possible device to attract the passing traveler. Many of these stations are a credit to themselves and the community, but sad to relate, among the attractions offered by many are drinking water from hundreds of open wells teeming with germs of disease.
