In the fall Of 1920 when the Farmer officials first went into
Office meeting III Attorney VOlums office, the editor OF the
Producers News set out clearly its position the County

It is regretted policy which is the right
adopted that time Much trouble would have been saved
much would have been saved and the taxpayers would
Doctors would not have been rich.
The position of the Producers News the County Nurse
is this:
The Producers News thinks that with the proper

Health Officer policy is as follows:
The County will hire one DOCTOR will be both County
poor doctor and County Health Officer pay salary. This
will be required quit private practice entirely lie Will
examined any corrected; he will attend to
agOus diseases quarantnng and umgatng and the mspec-

The County be allowed assistant
In this way the County will be taken Of by doctor
whose interest will be to keep people well. -, .
This policy will the taxpayers and at the same
time give the public something for the money spent
