HEALTH
BOARD OFFICIALS
RESIGN POSTS
CONTINUED from FIRST Pags)

] fContfnued from farst FhkeJ
the division of maternal and child
health recently and of that of Mrs.
Trent the board members decided to
take no action for three months. and
as one member said Wednesday night
"even then the matter might have
been adjusted without any resigna-
tion."
DIR. Ellegood said Wednesday night
that his resignation, presented June
29, two days after the meeting, had
no connection with the resignation Of
DR.. Jost
I've served on the board for %
years and I've been thinking of re-
signing for some time" he said. His
term would not have expired until
July /, 1912.
Asked if he knew of any dissatis-
faction with Dr. JOst's work express
ed at the last meeting. DIR. EllegOod
said that he did and that he felt sure
DR.. Jost had resigned because he
had heard of this dissatisfaction.
"He was a sensitive gentleman and
very efficient one" DR.. EllegOod
continued. II don't think he cared
to serve on any board that was not
unanimously satisfied with his
work"
Basis OF Dissatisfaction
Disregard of suggestions and or
ders given by the board, the hand
ling of the child welfare and mater
nal division since the resignation of
DR.. Morris and other minor matters
are said to have formed the principal
basis for the dissatisfaction of the
board.
Transfer of Mrs. Trent's assistant
and failure to replace the assistant
is said to have led to her resignation.
DIR. Stanley WOrden. president of
the board, declined to discuss the
matter other than to confirm the
designations.
Meeting On Friday Planned
DIR Jost's resignation will be dis
cussed at a special meeting of the
board which will be held in Dover
tomorrow friday if a quorum can
be obtained he said
Mrs. Ethel b. Warner declared that
DR.. JOst was efficient, effective, and
always a gentleman. She said that
he had been broad in his interests in
Tic MOIh VI tic utpdl tlllcills Uul Sdiu
that the child welfare and maternal
division was probably the least at
tractive to him."
Meanwhile, pending action of the
board. there is no indication who
DR.. Jost's successor will be, if the
resignation is accepted. but it was
indicated that if he does leave,
younger man, perhaps from Della
ware, will be appointed.
Native OF Canada
DR.. Jost, a native of Canada, was
appointed executive secretary of the
State Board in December 1928, sue
ceeding Dr. Arthur T. Davis. He
took over the office January l, 1929.
He came to Delaware with more than
20 years experience along public
health lines. He is a graduate in
arts from Acadia Unisrsity and in
medicine from McGill University at
Montreal.
For a number of years he was
county health officer in the prov
ince of Nova Scotia. and for ten
years was in the Provincial Health
Department of the Province of Nova
Scotia.
During the World War DR.. Jost
served three years with the Cana
dian forces in medical administra-
tive work, being discharged with the
rank of lieutenant colonel in the
