est In It's
work u being manifested by the
people, 30 much demand is being made
for It's services that II has been found
necessary TO continue the organize
ton In the field for at least a year
and possibly eighteen months. The
exact time which It will put In viii
depend upon how long Il takes to cona-
pists q Thorough survey In every COM
munity Of Utah
n . officially announced By James
II. warns, sxscutivs secretary Of the
Utah Public Health association thek
ne clinic wtn be continued In the
fSeld until Il has Waited and given
frii service in every community.
But, et course, tnis promise 10 pro
dicated upon the confidence Of HE
Wallis and all other officers and Nom
bers Of the health association That the
people OF the state will rally heartily
20 the Christmas seal sale, beginning
on next Thanksgiving day, and buy
seals In a manner that will enablesthe
association to nave ample funds TO
cover the expense Of this continued
work Of the clinic.
When the organization first went
out budget allowance was made by
the executive committee sufficient to
maintain the clinic for six months.
It was expected that the organiza-
ton would be able TO get pretty we'll
over the state In that time. But tho
committee reckoned without knowing
the interest which tho people at large
would take In the clinic work. In al
most every section where 1t has visit
ed, demand for Its services has been
far greater than limited time could
meet Doubling of the time In many
places were necessary and this showed
the progress of the clinic. Now II
has become apparent that It will ro-
qurs at least year and, more likely,
eighteen months, to cover the entire
state In the manner In which the asso-
citation desires to do II, In recognition
Of the loyal support Of the people in
tn Christmas seal sale and In re-
sponse 70 the increasing demand for
services Of the clinic.
The clinic has two great purposes
one to educate the people alens lines
q prsyentiSa Of disease, especially
tuboreulosis, and the other Is to ascor-
tain the amount of tuberculosis In the
state that the Utah Public Health as
ISOLATION may 90 before the legislature
with tncts upon which 10 demand q
state sanatorium In which to care for
INDECENT tuberculous, thus protecting
the rest Of the people from infection
from this source.
The association knows that there
Is tuberculosis in the state that there
are no less than 200 deaths annually
from the disease and that this means
there are 1000 or more active cases IN
the state ut all times But with the
actual figures of the survey 1t will be
In q position 30 60 before the legisla'
ture and make request for funds 10
establish state sanatorlum where the
INDECENT tubercalous may be cared fol
and this source of infection for Others
be eliminated.
The health authorities want to know
what the condition Of health Of this
states children-its citizens Of tonor
row, Is. The child hygiene survey Il
being made for this purpose and witt
view to having a child hygiene bu
reau made a permanent part OF thu
state board of health.
This is an indication of how thu
work of the clinic is being directed
by the people drought the communi
ties where II has been. In some OF thu
places where 1t was impossible, TO
various reasons, to prolong the sta.
of the organization beyond the sche
uled time, It will be necessary to maxi
a return trip at a later date so tina
those who want to get the benlfit
of the clinic will have the opportunity
VISIT EVERY COMMUNITY

sociation announces that the clinic VII
