Parrott, M.D Vol. 50 JANUARY, 1935 No. 1 OUR NEW STATE HEALTH OFFICER By The Editor DOCTOR CARL VERNON REYNOLDS of Asheville on Novem- ber 10 took the oath of office and immediately assumed his duties as Acting State Health Officer, succeeding Dr. James M. Parrott, who died November 7. Doctor Reynolds was unani- mously elected to the position by his fellow members on the Board. Doctor Reynolds is a native of Asheville. His father was a suc- cessful Asheville physician who died when Doctor Reynolds was only three years old. Doctor Reynolds obtained his literary educa- tion in the private schools of Asheville and Wofford College, Spar- tanburg, South Carolina. He received his medical education at the College of the City of New York, graduating in medicine there in 1895. After his graduation he took a postgraduate course in Lon- don, England. Doctor Reynolds located in Asheville for the practice of medicine, specializing in pulmonary tuberculosis. His skill in combating that disease has been widely recognized by the medical profession. An example of their confidence was his election as presi- dent of the North Carolina Medical Society, in which place he served with distinction in 1920. On beginning practice he at once became interested in health work. His first connection was with the city health department in 189 6. Following that period, for more than twenty years he served as city health officer of Asheville. in which capacity he rendered his city and the whole State important and permanent service. Some of his contributions to public health may be cited, as follows: He organized the first crusade against the common house-fly ever undertaken anywhere. He assisted in drafting the first milk ordinance for Asheville. He secured progressive sanitary laws. He put through the compulsory vaccination law requisite to school attendance. He secured the adoption of a bread-wrapping ordinance and one requiring the tuberculin testing of cows. He saw typhoid fever drop from an average of two hundred and seventy cases a year in the city of Asheville to about five while he was city health officer, and saw smallpox practically eliminated. We enumerate these things so that the people of the State may know they have a well-trained health officer at the head of the State Health Department—one fully worthy of confidence and support.

  • A Christmas Memory
    Imagine a morning in late November. A coming of winter morning more than twenty years ago. Consider the kitchen of a spreading old house in a country town. A great black stove is its main feature; but there is also a big round table and a fireplace with two rocking chairs placed in front of it. Just today the fireplace commenced its seasonal roar. A woman with shorn white hair is standing at the kitchen window. She is wearing tennis shoes and a shapeless gray sweater over a summery calico dress. She is small and sprightly, like a bantam hen; but, due to a long youthful illness, her shoulders are pitifully hunched. Her face is remarkable—not unlike Lincoln's, craggy like that, and tinted by sun and wind; but it is delicate too, finely boned, and her eyes are sherry-colored and timid. "Oh my," she exclaims, her breath smoking the windowpane, "it's fruitcake weather!" The person to whom she is speaking is myself. I am seven; she is sixty-something, We are cousins, very distant ones, and we have lived together—well, as long as I can remember. Other people inhabit the house, relatives; and though they have power over us, and frequently make us cry, we are not, on the whole, too much aware of them. We are each other's best friend. She calls me Buddy, in memory of a boy who was formerly her best friend. The other Buddy died in the 1880's, when she was still a child. She is still a child.
