HOLD MEETING
FRIDAY NIGHT
Over Fifty Meet To Celebrate
The Eightieth Anniversary
Of Gen. Pershing's Birth

Over fifty Legionnaires gathered
at the State Armory, Pocomoke City,
Friday night, and observed the eight
ieth birthday of Gen. John J. Pershing,
COMMUNICATIVE Chief of the American
EXpeditionary Forces during the
World War. Levin Mock Davis, of
Accomac, prominent attorney and out
standing Legionnaire, spoke to an in
terested audience on the achievements
of this great General of the Armies.
L. Griffin Callahan, who served as
Post Commander in the early days
of the Legion, and again elected to
serve for the 1940-41 term, presided.
In Legion circles it is believed that
Worcester Post SO will go places the
current term. With Commander Call
ahan directing the affairs, there is
every reason to believe the member
ship will be large, and those serving
on the committees: Americanism
Child Welfare, Membership and Re-
Mobilization, can be depended on to
do their jobs well.

to replace the present facilities in
many cases.
Health Education, particularly in
the schools, and the development of
a more adequate school health pro-
gram was also stressed. Professor
Hiscock stated that the employment
of a we'll trained Health Education
Supervisor would go long way to-
ward meeting this problem.
Other items singled out for COM
ment included the need for closer
supervision of eating establishments
and more adequate school lighting.
Professor Hiscock addressed about
one hundred citizens of the County
who were guests of the Snow Hill
PIT. A. Visitors included DR.. Ny
ron Wegman of the State Department
of Health, DR.. Louis Welty, Health
Officer of Talbot County, and DR.
Paul Cohen, Superintendent of the
Pine Bluff tuberculosis Sanatorium.
The Public Health Survey was made
in June at the invitation of the County
Commissioners, the County Health
Department, and the State Health De-
partment. Monday and Tuesday was
spent by the Survey Staff in CONSUL
tations with the County Commission
ers and the Mayors and City Councils
of all the incorporated towns.
DIR. w. r. Willard, County Health
Officer, described the report and var
ious conferences as being very val
liable in planning ahead for the Pub

Present Plans Against Disease
Is Excellent, But Lacks Nurs-
ing To Be Effective
DIR. WILLARD CLAIMS
REPORT AS VERY HELPFUL

DIR. Ira V. Hiscock, Professor OF
Public Health at Yale University, and
his associate, Mr.. M. Allen Pond, made
their report on the Public Health
Program in Worcester County before
a large meeting in the Snow Hill
High School Tuesday evening, Sep
TENDER 18th.
The following recommendations
were made:
1. That early provision for the en-
ployment of a we'll trained and ex-
perienced supervisor of Public Health
Nursing be made.
2. That special effort be directed to
the reduction of excessive sickness
and death from tuberculosis and ty-
phoid fever, as we'll as from diarrhea
and other conditions related to high
infant mortality.
8. That the program of sanitation
and food control be gradually streng-
thened and include the stimulation of
the use of pasteurized milk.
4. That the school authorities and
County Health Department secure a
we'll trained supervisor in Health Ed
ucation.
5. That the County assume an in
creasing share of the financial re-
sponsibility for the Public Health
Program in the County.
6. That as early as possible more
adequate housing facilities for the
Health Department be provided, in
GLIDING the establishment of central
headquarters on a rent-free basis by
the County in Snow Hill.
The present program against tu-
berculosis, venereal diseases and in
FAINT mortality was considered by Pro
fessor Hiscock to be excellent, but
suffered from lack of nursing per-
sonnet to do complete job. 1t was
shown, for example, that the infant
mortality among babies visited by
the nurses was only one-half as high
as among babies not visited. 1t was
pointed out that the County nursing
staff was only one-half as large as
it should be to meet the County prob
lens.
Professor Hiscock pointed out that
in Ocean City, where the experience
with typhoid fever and dysentery has
been most favorable, practically 1907
of the milk is pasteurized, and al
most 1000 of the town is connected
to public water SUPPLIES and sewerage
Tt was recommended that all othel
towns should place more emphasis oil
securing pasteurized milk, water ant
sewerage connections. The rural area!
need sanitary privies and safe water

stunts in the realm of clowndom.
