Harriet Henderson, of Pennington;
Mrs. Florence Waugh Danforth, OF
Skowhegan; Mrs. Theresa Anderson
of Bangor and Mrs. G. E. Stackpole
of Dover-FoXcroft.
The eleven suggestions and recon-
mendations are as follows:

clubs already have such committees
which are and have been active for
many years in local and statewide
hath activities.

gram each year by each Federated
club. The committee points out that
material for such meetings may be
obtained through the Maine State
Department of Health or from the

the coming federation year of some
specific local health activity such as
a better baby conference, a pre-
school clinic, a health survey, etc.

give both its moral support and its
active interest to the splendid pro-
gram of constructive and practical
health work as carried on by the
Maine Public Health Association.
recommendation that all local
clubs lend active cooperation to the
county and local public health nur-
SeS.

ly consider a club membership in the

trict and local health officers.
Attention is called to the frequent
need for corrective measures-dental,

tv and local clinics" and the suggeS-
ton is made that the local clubs be-
come interested in providing neces-
airy treatment for cases unable to
provide such necessary 49, -ment or
corrective MEASURES for themselves.
The clubs are thanked for their
active participation in the annual
sale of Health Christmas Seals and

public spirited service given by
Maine club women.
