Der. executive secretary of the Maine
Public Health Association, said last
evening in addressing the members OF
the Augusta Rotary Club at their reg

These three organizations are the

work.
Mr. Thurber said in part:
Public health work is divided into
three rather distinct groupings--each
with it's own special field of endeavor
We. each closely allied with the others.
First there is the scientific or med
icaI group-represented in Naine by
the Maine Medical Association. All
successful public health work, either
volunteer or governmental, is based on
the findings of scientific medicine. For
example, the entire campaign on tu-
berculosis is based on the discovery
of the tuberculosis bacillus and the
tried and proven methods of combating
the disease as established by the medl-
cal profession. Another example lis
the national campaign against cancer
which is based on the established fact
that the early discovery of cancert
symptoms is the best known method to
date for the saving of lives threatened
by this disease.
Then there is the governmental
health agency such as the Maine State
Department of Health, and local
boards of health. These agencies are
charged by statute with such duties as
the protection of our water supply, the
