SUNDAY, MAY 8, |S
 SET ASIDE AS DAY.
 TO HONOR MOTHERS

Sunday, May 8, was designated Mothers day In a proclamation is sued by Gov. Thomas E. Campbell officials and people of the state in general to give expression to their love and reverence for the mothers Of Arizona.
 lows:
 Mothers Day
 A frequent recurrence to funda- mental principles, as has been set forth in the constitution of the state of Arizona Is essential to the security of individual rights and the perpe- tuity of free government. It is, also, most desirable in order that there may be preserved and clarified that true perception of values which. amid the many distractions of modern life, often tends to become dimmed or to disappear from our view.
 It is most appropriate. therefore, that public recognition be given to the great debt of gratitude owing to the mothers of America That such a debt exists and that 1t can never be repaid are automatic truths, ad-
 
 given expression. Even casual re- flection convinces us of the fact that what our mothers have given to us, and to America, in devotion. in low ing self sacrifice. in unselfish service can never be measured, much less re- paid.
 As a public acknowledgment therefore. of the fact that there is owing to motherhood a measure of loyalty. devotion and honor which can never be paid. as an outward and visible symbol of all that our mothers have so freely given us, and as a token of our renewed resolve to strive to measure up to their ideals of us unattainable as those ideals may be it is meet and fitting that expression be given this great obligation through the celebration of Mothers day. observance of which has become a beautiful and nation wide custom
 Now therefore, I, Thomas F. Camp bell governor of Arizona, do. by vir- tue of the authority vested in me by house concurrent resolution No. 8 adopted by the Fifth state legislature hereby designate Sunday, May s, as Mothers day. and call upon all state officials to display the flag on al state and school buildings. and the people Of the state of Arizona to dis play the flag at their homes. lodges churches and places of business. and at other suitable places, as public expression of love and reverence foi the mothers of our beloved state. and other women serving it. and as an in- spiration for better homes and closer ties between the home and the com monwealth. It is further requested as is the annual custom, that the services in the various churches oi the state, on this particular day, b. appropriate to the celebration oi Mothers day"

URGES FULL T|ME"
 CHIEF FUR STATES
 HEALTH DEPARTMENT

Recommendation of a full-time head for the state department of health is the outstanding feature of the report submitted to Governor Thomas E. Campbell by pr. R. c. Williams, assistant surgeon of the United States public health service.
 Dr. Williams has been in the state for four months making a study of public health activities and existing sanitary laws. His report contains suggestions for certain changes and consultations which he believes would work for the conservation of health of the citizens of Arizona
 His work completed. Dr. Williams is now awaiting orders from the gov ernment. En route for his new sta ton he will stop at Washington for promotion to grade of past assistant surgeon. which corresponds to the rank of captain. The cost to the gov ernment of his few months stay here represents $500. The report which was submitted to the governor also was transmitted to Hugh s. Cum ming, surgeon general of the public health service.
 The ultimate test of the work of the health department is the death rate,' said Dr. Williams yesterday The number of deaths in Arizona in lJzO was 0,oZOs -scSo ol Oo.J1 Der cent of these being from preventable diseases"
 He declared that he did not con- slider any one thing responsible but that the health of a state was of suf ficient importance to demand the undivided attention of the head of the department
 Arizona spends more than $20,000 year on its state health department and yet the policy is to delegate the work to subordinates. As a business proposition it would appear that a man should be on the job all the time. The fact that a man Is a physician does not necessarily meal that he Is trained in public health administration. The head of any public health department should be especially trained in sanitary science and public health administration and should give all his time to the work. Any business firm or corporation that transacts $20 900 worth of business a year would certainly have a full time well trained executive at its head.
 Dr. Williams said that one child in every six born in Arizona dies before reaching the age of one year. Among the preventable diseases that gave Arizona such a high death rate last year he mentioned. typhoid, diphtheria, scarlet fever. measles, influenza.
 In acknowledging receipt of the re- port submitted by Dr. Williams. Gov ernor Campbell in expressing his ap- preciative thanks said in part:
 At this time I wish to state that I owe a debt of gratitude to the | U S. public health service, not only for its fine cooperation in assisting

CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF

Large Number of Represen- tative Citizens Named To
 Investigate Plans For Beautifying of Phoenix
