The proposed resolution is:
Whereas the General Federation

Whereas these Objectionable de-

Concerning Health News

doctor, talking before group of doctors in an
eastern state said they ought to loosen up and
let folks know what is going in their profession
He suggested, for example, that if each newspa-
per had trained physician its staff to pass on
medical pieces before they get into print it would
help a lot
Undoubtedly, if the trained physician Also n
trained newspaper man. Very few activities of life
richer in human interest than the battles of the
doctors with disease; but the usual doctor would
describe them it would take classical dictionary,
an encyclopedia and a course in college to make the
average layman understand.
But is it so certain that trained doctor would be
the best to report results in medical progress
Isn't his professional knowledge liable to be offset
by professional prejudcesf
The best source of simplified information about
real achievements in this field that know is a
properly trained public health officer who has been
seasoned in the right of publicity
The city which has one is to be congratulated.
