My Wheat Plan

Is going to get US anywhere, a
discussion is worth while.
Let us confine ourselves to
wheat and wheat growers. That
cooperative farming on a large
scale will be the final solution, and
the best of all, of that there is no
doubt In my mind. But that idea
IS yet little too far advanced
Farmers want to be independent "
want to have the right to work 18
hours a day and all day Sunday
II they feel like doing so; want
to be able to tell his neighbor TO
stay on his own side of the fence
To cooperate with him is out of
the question, because he is law
and would want to be boss while
we would have to do all the work
in spite of the fact that we know
a lot more than he does. Wishing
to be independent" is as far as
we have gotten, and we must work
accordingly to get the support.
The present wheat allotmen
might be little better than wha
we had before but is not salts
factory and not what is wanted a
all. Telling us where and how t,
seed and all the other humbug tina
goes with it takes all the "inde
pendent" joy out of farming. Blu
there is no use kicking withou
having something better to put
its place. Let US open up the dis
cussion and all take part. Hel
is my plan. Tell me what iswron

BRITAIN ACTS

LONDON.-Sir John Simon and Capt.
Eden went to Berlin March "a for q con-
ference with Hitler. France and Italy both
sent hsarp notes of protest against Ger

mands of arms equality with the other ma

ever, and as the Soviet press correctly said,
the British action only allows Hitler more

our utmost consideration. That is
why all health authorities devote
so much attention to health edu-
cation.
Statistics on file in my depart
ment could be used to advantage
In pointing out the remarkable
part modern sanitary devices have
played in preventing tho spread
of disease. Records show that
contagious disease cases were
found mostly in districts devoid of
sewers, city dispensed water, or
sanitary plumbing equipment.
The mortality rate for various
contagious diseases, such as scar
let fever, typhoid fever, diphtheria,
and so forth, has been almost at
the zero point in Waterbury in the
last 20 years, due, unquestionably,
to modern sanitary methods of
disease prevention.
I can mention hardly ony aspect
of successful health administrator
which does not lead eventually to
the ideals of this society. Your
contribution to the health of
America has been notable. In
closing. wish to state again, that
the American Society of Sanitary
Engineering holds a foremost po-
sition in the great army of disease
fighters and safeguarders of
health. You assure us real wealth
by making real health possible,
through your scientific methods
and scientific creations.

Pure Water supply, Effective Sewage System Here
Praised 49, Contribute to City's Health VIZ Newspa-
pers, Radio Share in Praise-Tribute to Walker

Health officer DR.. e. j. Godfrey
and City Engineer Robert A. Cairns
were the two principal speakers
this afternoon at the Hotel Penn
sylvania in New York at the an
ntial meeting of the American So
ciety Of Sanitary Engineers. City
Plumbing Inspector James r. Wal
ker was also present al. the session.
He Is secretary of the national or
ganization. DR.. Godfrey and City
Engineer Cairns were invited to
speak due to the fact that the
American Society Of Sanitary En-
gineers has found Waterbury to
be one OF the outstanding COM
rnunities in the United States in the
matter Of health work.
Both DIR. Godfrey and City En-
gineer Cairns pointed out the work
done in their respective depart
ments to maintain a pure water
supply and an effective sewage sys-
tenn. They paid tribute to Plumb
ing Inspector Walker for his con-
scientious work in enforcing the
local sanitary code, considered one
Of the best in the country.
Newspapermen Praised.
Dr. Godfrey declared that the re-
sponsibility Of the health officer is
one of education and paid tribute to
the enlightened newspapermen and
the civicly inclined radio stations
of Waterbury, pointing out that
both the press and radio are do
ing much to aid in teaching the
public how to preserve health. He
informed his listeners that the wa
ter works of Waterbury have a
5000, 100000 gallon capacity and
that the water is pumped through
zoo miles OF water main. Further
more, he pointed out that the wa
ter sheds are inspected daily and
that samples of the city water are
analysed weekly with the result
that pollution is virtually impos-
sible. The drinking water tests
made weekly show a consistent
purity, he stated.
Waterbury uses 10000 gallons Of
milk and 100 gallons Of cream
daily, DR.. Godfrey said, all but
per cent Of which Is tuberculin
tested. Seventy per cent of the
milk used here daily is. pasteurized.
City Engineer Cairns followed
with lengthy discussion of the local
water works and sewage disposal
system. DR.. Godfrey's address was

marks would reach you on the
third day of a New York conven-
ton in the middle of August, and
It seemed to me seIf-evident that
the ordinary humane considera-
tons called for brevity. So without
sacrificing any essential material, I
think 1t is fair to say that I have
resisted the natural tendency to be
too expansive.
In view Of the very evident
partnership which has long existed
between your society and the forces
which seek to protect the public
health, deem 1t privilege to be
invited as one Of your guests at
this important gathering to make
my humble contribution to your
deliberations.
Prevention of Disease
That such a partnership as have
mentioned does exist Is probably
best illustrated in the motto Of your
society, Prevention Rather Than
Cure" While 1t is undoubtedly a
practical fact that the medical pro-
fession Is concerned principally
with cure Of ailments already de-
veloped, 1t Is the responsibility of
the health officer to prevent the
development of disease.
Although the scope Of my re-
marks seems limited by the title
Health Control in Manufacture
ing City," the fundamental prob
lens Of the health officer must be
the same everywhere. He must
answer to his own conscience for
the attitude of the people for
whom he feels responsible. 1t Is his
task as a public official to carry
into the office he holds all the
traditions which have distinguish
ed the medical profession as one
with a single eve to happier flu
ture and a finer race.
Education Necessary
The responsibility Of the health
officer, as I see 1t, and as every
other health officer Of my ac-
quaintance views It, is principally
one of education. Health measures,
as they affect the individual. come
under the head of self-preservation
SO that the enforcement of pro-
hibitive ordinances is less impor-
tant than the process which makes
the individual realize that sanitary
conditions will pay him dividends.
Our task Is one of persuasive
ness and diplomacy. We must de-
pend in great measure on the pub
lie press, and for that reason
