MOVEMENT FOR EXTRA
SESSION
Eastern Shore Commissioners
Urge Need For Cut In
State Expenses

Commissioners of the nine Eastern
Shore counties on Monday took steps
looking to the calling of special
session of the General Assembly to
enact legislation to afford relief for
economic distress.
The commissioners, in their annual
meeting at Centerville, adopted a
resolution setting forth the emergen-
cy needs for a reduction in State
appropriations and consequent re-
duction in taxes, and embodying
suggestion for special session to
enact such cuts.
The resolution suggested that the
session be called to start May 20.
Copies of the resolution will be
sent to the commissioners of all
counties on the western side of the
Chesapeake Bay, seeking their
cooperation in the move. The Sec
rotary of the Eastern Shore organ
iZation was instructed to carry on
the preliminary work.
AS soon as enough replies have
been received a meeting of commits
sioners of all the States twenty-three
and counties will be called at Annap-
oils and Governor Richie will be
asked to meet with them.
The resolution was sponsored by
V. Calvin Trice, Dorchester county,
and was adopted unanimously with
little discussion.
It was pointed out by Queen
Anne's county officials, however,
that salaries and the tax rates of
most of the counties and many of the
municipalities are set by law, and
can be changed only by act of the
Legislature. 1t was declared, how
ever, that the retrenchment should
be call down the line," including
State officers and appropriations, as
well as those of the counties.

Many Deaths Due to
Preventable Causes

OF 5000 deaths occurring in North
Dakota each year, 1000 of them are
due to preventable causes, said Dr. A.
A. Whittemore. state health officer.
discussing methods and functions of
the state Department Of Health in an
effort to enlist the fullest coopera-
ton of the people it serves.
DR.. Whittem0re asserted that the
function of Public Health is the pre-
vention of disease resulting In prema-
ture death and physical or mental
handicaps. The treatment or cure Of
disease does not enter into our plan,
he added.
"Of the 5000 deaths occurring in
North Dakota each year, he said,
1000 Of them are due to preventable
causes. It is no exaggeration to state
that at least 20 per cent Of these
could be prevented by properly sup
ported and well organized health de-
partment. Many thousands Of physi-
cal or mental handicaps could be and
are prevented"
The public health laws Of the state
are fairly good. said DR.. Whittemore,
but he termed them often inadequate
confusing and contradictory, making
their Interpretation difficult or uncer-
tain. They are administered by state
county, city and township health de-
partments all under the advisory and
supervisory control of the state de-
partment in many or all of their
functions.

Aged EmmOns County
Man Getting Better

Linton, N D.. March 22.-(P)-
States Attorney Charles Coventry said
Mondan that improvement has been
shown in the condition Of George c..
Corbin. 80, who has been in critical
condition at his home in Livonia
more than q month as the result Of
q severe injury to his head.
Corbin was found in the basement
Of his home suffering from injuries
to the back of his head and authori-
ties feared that the wounds may have
been inflicted by an attacker, al
though there was possibility he fell
down the basement stairs and injured
himself accidentally.
Emmons county officials have been
unable to obtain a clear account Of
what occurred and are hopeful that
Corbin soon will recover sufficiently
to recall what happened.
