For several years, the United States
public health service has been making
demonstrations of whole-time health Of

work has been done entirely in the
south and west. Nothing of the kind
has previously been attempted in New
England or, in fact, any of the north

The usual requirement for service
of this kind is that the county or dis
triet raise money to at least duplicate
the amount furnished by the federal
government. This is usually simple
matter in the south where the county
