With funds made available by the
International Health Commission, the
State Board of Health is anxious to
locate that Virginia community which
is willing to invest about $3.50 in
sanitary campaign, on condition that
approximately 81 900 be spent through
the board in Graduating hookworm
disease and f1y-borne typhoid, and in
general sanitary betterment.
This, in substance, is the somewhat
unusual proposal made in the weekly
bulletin of the State Board of Health,
given to the press today. Back of 1t
is an interesting chapter in the SAM
tary history of the state.
When the Rockefeller Sanitary
Commission concluded its five years OF
work in the South last winter, the In
ternational Health Commission was
organized to carry on sanitary fnvesti-
CATION in America and abroad. After
careful study of conditions, the COM
mission decided to begin intensive
campaigns in various States the OBJ
iect of which should be to illustrate
by the eradication of certain COM
municable diseases, the economic i'm
portance OF public health work.
Starts Campaign In Virginia
At the invitation of the State Board
of Health. the International Commits
sion agreed to start such campaign
in Virginia. under the direction OF the
board. and to supply the greater part
of the funds necessary. Work was &C
cordingly begun in district of South
ampton County. where a trained
health officer and two assistants have
been engaged in a canvass of the
community. farm by farm. in order TO
encourage the installation of sanitary
devices and to rid II of filth borne dis
eases.
This work has succeeded so
well that the commission has now
agreed to organize another "unit'
I'm a selected Virginia community.
The salary and expenses OF the
health officer In charge and the
salaries of necessary assistants
are paid with funds from the
commission, the incidental ex-
penses are borne by the State,
the community IL only asked to
pay the travelling expenses and
board of the assistants--a total
of about $3.50 for complete
campaign.
To Select Community.
The problem now before the board
is to select that progressive Virginia
community which Is most anxious Tor
a general campaign of sanitary I'M
provement and will make its ccntri-
button to that end. In return the
board can practically give assurance
that with public cooperation, hook
worm disease can be made To dis
appear. ffy-borne typhoid can be eradf-
Gated, infants complaints can be de-
creased and the general health of the
community can be greatly improved.
In order to play no favorites, the
board has asked the press of the State
to present its offer to the boards OF
supervisors, with the understanding
that the community which shows the
greatest interest in the PROPOSAL ana
is most willing to cooperate Will De
given the new unit Work will De
undertaken in the selected community
by June Is. and will continue Tor ut
least three months.
