PLANS UNITY

PUBLIC HEALTH
DIR. A. A. Whittemore Work
ing Out Plans For Function
ing of New State Depart.

One of the first efforts of the new
state health department created by
the last legislature will be made to
unity health work throughout the
state, DR.. A. A. Whittemore, state
health officer said today. Because of
the limited appropriation for the de-
partments an effort will be made to
do but few things, but to do them
thoroughly and effectively, DR.. Whit
temore said.
Plans are going forward to the
unification of health board meth DDS
in the counties and cities Of the state.
Each county has been working on its
own plan. and many different meth
DDS of action and reports are used,
DR.. Whittemore said. Uniform reports
will be sought throughout the state.
North Dakota also will seek to get
in the United States Registration
Area, a governmental department
which complies statistics Of births,
death, disease and gathers similar in
formation. North Dakota has not been
admitted in the past because Of lack
Of provision in the state law for OBJ.
tanning accurate and complete re-
ports.
A convention Of Ill county and
city health officers will be called
sometime this fall, under present
plans, uniform methods for use
throughout the state worked out.
The state department. also will CO.
operate financially with counties and
cities in the matter Of public health
work. DR.. Whittemore was in Min
neatolis last week to meet DR.. John
a. Farrell, head Of the Internati onal
Health Board, supported BY the Roc
kefellsr foundation. This board and
the federal government advance sums
to match various kinds OF hsalth
work. For example, DR.. Whittemofe
said, every county that makes
budget Of, 1900 for an .all-time health
department. can get $1,000 more from
the government T foundation. with
which II could employ an experienced
health officer at .$3. 900 year, =
