Clubs With Lists of Certi-
fled Camps.

For several months the State Board
of Health has been reminding city
and town officials of their responsible
ity in the sanitary upkeep of auto

ing of the State Board of Health is
now preparing for publication through
out the country and state, for the guild
ance of campers, a list of certified or
approved camps. This list is in de-
mand by various travel agencies and

win appear on this approved list I'M
less their camps are operated in a
strictly sanitary manner in accordance
with the State Board of Health regu-
lations. Tourists win be advised by
the State Board of Health to stay only
at certified camps in order to mini
mize the health menace.
