KENT COUNTY WINS HEALTH
AWARD

The United States Chamber of
Commerce has just released the in
formation that Kent county has won
first place in the Eastern Division of
the 1894 Rural Health Conservation
Contest conducted by the American
Public Health Association and the
United States Public Health Service.
The contest in which the recent
award is given is countrywide in
which full time county health units
compete regardless of size. The
country as a whole is divided into
six divisions and Kent County COM
petes with other health departments
in what is known as the Eastern di-
vision including the states of Ken
lucky, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia, North Carolina, Ten
nessee, and the District Of Columbia.
Counties having full time health
units can compile where there is a
Chamber of Commerce affiliated with
the National Chamber of Commerce.
The purpose of this contest is to
stimulate more and continued inter-
est in Public Health work, to eliimi-
nate premature deaths and the re-
duction of economic losses due to I'M
necessary illness. It seeks to accom-
plish this purpose by enlisting the
active interests of business men in
Public Health and by encouraging
more unified and coordinated pro-
gram on the part of various groups
and organizations interested or en-
gagged in the promotion of the pub
lies health. Each participating
rural health unit is visited by an ex-
pert on public health matters who re-
views the work carefully.
The award does not necessarily
mean that the county receiving same
is the healthiest county but does in
dictate an efficient type of health
work being carried on in the COM
munity
The award for the Health Conser-
walton Contest was made at The An
nual Meeting of the United States
Chamber of Commerce in Washing
ton, D. c., Monday, April 10th when
a bronze plaque was presented to the
Health Committee of the Kent Coun-
ty Chamber of Commerce of whom
DR.. R. G. Beachley, County Health
Officer, is the chairman. The pre-
senta.ion of the award was made by
DR.. Hugh S. Cummings, Surgeon
General of the United States.

frames by the F. and NJ nine.
