This remarkable showing is attrib-
uted by representatives of the Maine
Public Health Association in a large
in the event and to the remarkable
cooperation given by the hundreds
of city and town chairmen, members
of the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, local
chambers of commerce and public
spirited citizens generally. Repre-
sentatives of the association also ex-
pressed deep appreciation for the
help given by the newspapers OF the
State. both daily and weekly for their
help in making the organization Of the
Three-Quarter Century Club an event
of national news interest. No other
state ever has attempted in such
graphic way to demonstrate that the
simple principles of right living tend
to bring longer life to the average
individual. The lessons taught by the
Three Quarter Century Club will
have valuable and far reaching eff
feet in the health education of the
present and coming generation.
