Invitation Issued to
Purents and Students
By Dr.. o'reory

With Georgetown and Dumbarton
Colleges each offering q four-year
scholarship to the high school boy
and girl competing successfully in
a health essay contest, the Very Rev.
Arthur. A. OLeary, s. j., Georgetown
president, yesterday extended pub
lie invitation to parents and stu
dents to attend the university's
weekly Public Health Forum which
opens Thursday evening.
Off1cials of the university were en-
couraged by the number Of inquiries
being made about the essays and
expressed the belief the contest
would serve to promote a great deal
of local interest In general health
precautions.
There are many diseases which
are preventable and many which
may be cured in the early stages" I"
DR.. OLeary said. Unfortunately
knowledge of preventive measures is
a subject with which the public Is
inadequately acquainted. The essay
contest, we feel, will contribute to
CllC oAooCAAAA1ldGAOIl VI Al1O1 u1dtlOlA
touching on communicable diseases
and matters of general health. BY
means of the radio and the lecture
platform, the university hopes to
convey a better understanding Of
these problems in thousands Of
homes"
Broadcasts on Health.
Seniors and Juniors eligible for the
contest were reminded that the
Forum Committee of which DR.. John
R. Cavanagh is chairman, will dis
cuss health problems in radio
broadcasts on Wednesdays at 10 p m.
Station VOL and the Mutual net
work will carry the programs. Stu
dents will find these programs help
full in preparing material for their
essays.
DR.. Ella Oppenheimer of the Dis
trict Health Department will be the
first Forum speaker Thursday at $50
pm. in CASTOR Hall. She will dis
