A Better Way Than Passing Health
Laws
Boston Hcrald)

(Boston Hcrald)
There are many interesting things
about the campaign to make Maine
the healthiest state in tho Union" to
which we referred a few days ago
but perhaps the most significant of
them is that the movement, in origin
and operation, is popular and not a
matter of legislation. That is. it is
not matter of more laws or of now
state departments, but something
that q voluntary association, public
spirited citizens and representatives
of large groups, is attending to
through processes of education, CO.
operation, enforcement of existing
laws and extension of work now car
ried on in limited way.
The Maine Public Health Assoca-
ton came into existence two years
ago and is maintained by the 500
local oranges, the $50 labor unions.
the 200 women's clubs, the $50 posts
of the American Legion and the AS
ISOLATED Industries, representing ESQ
manufacturers, all acting through
their state organizations. For ex-
ample, the oranges all over the state
are holding box suppers this month
to raise their share of the funds to
carry on the work. There are sus-
tanning memberships through which
individuals contribute to it. The
newspapers join in spreading health
propaganda. The work of the as
ISOLATION is carried on' under eight
divisions-tubcrculo extension of
district NURSING work, mental n.y.
gionc, etc.
The state board of health and the
local boards fit into the scheme. but

stamp on if. Tho whole project is
popular, both in its financial support
and in the associations and commit
tees. state and local. that engineer 1t.
An executive secretary. Walter D.
Thurbef, is the handspring of much
that is accomplished. Maine is the
first state to SGT in motion n state

thing works out. II is nothing new
