Mark had not had too good
night. He had been restless,
feverish, and some of the time
out of his head.
Good Sign
Once In the night Doris had
Weakened. She asked DR.. Leonard
how Marks condition really was.
Hes cranky and irritable" DIR.
Leonard laughed. That's a good
sign. I don't believe we have
very much to worry about"
So then Doris, lulled by great
ease. had gone off to sleep again.
She hadn't heard the doctor as he
moved quietly about the cabin,
working at something with his
hand that seemed to give him con-
siderable concern.
As he sat now DOING in his
chair by the fire, his chair tilted
back and his head against the side
wall, Doris noticed that his left
hand was bandaged. She came
wide awake at the sight.
What in the world Is the mat
ter with your" she asked, getting
out of the bed quickly.
DR.. Leonard awakened instantly,
eased his chair down and stood
yawning. "Nothing's the matter
with me-" he said, paying no at
tention to his bandaged hand.
Good-Natured
Then what have you that
gauze on your hand for?"
Truth OF the matter Is" he ex-
planned, that I cut 1t the other
night. Sheer carelessness. I BAN
daged it to make sure that every
thing would be all right"
You'd better make sure" Doris
said with kind of premonition.

careful of their hands when they

Health Forum Told
Relief Milk Delayed
By Many Problems
Bondy and Goumnitz
Point to Difficulties
In Starting Program

Five-cents-a-quart milk for relief
groups in Washington Is several
weeks at least-and perhaps longer
from realization, it was made clear
last night at meeting of the Dis
trict Health Forum at the George
town Branch Library.
There still remain several prob
lens of distribution to be worked
out, according to DR.. Edwin w. |
Gaumnitz, director of marketing and
marketing agreements of the De-
partment of Agriculture. These
problems, he told representatives of
various citizens and civic associa-
tions and consumers organizations
attending the forum, must be solved
in cooperation with milk producers
and distributors.
AS the matter stands today, DR..
Gaumnitz declared. low-priced milk
has been made legally possible in
the District but no specific pro-
gram has been agreed on by all
the agents or agencies that would
be involved.
Outlets Undecided.
To begin with, he continued, it
has not been determined whether
distribution through special milk
stations would be more feasible than
distribution through regular retail
store outlets. Neither has it been
decided just what groups shall be
eligible for relief milk, DR.. Gaum-
nitz added.
Robert E. Bondy, public welfare
director, pointed out that until these
two questions are answered, the
Board of Public Welfare cannot
proceed with plans for a milk dis
tr1bution setup. He said the board
has estimated that 10 distribution
stations could be operated in WASH
ington for $4,000 year.
But then" Mr.. Bondy explained.
that brings up the problem of
where We shall get the $4,000. The
board has. no contingent fund and
we do not have the authority to
divert money from already made
quate appropriations for other
phases of the relief program. The
money would have to come from
additional appropriations"
Eligibility Figure Undetermined.
Both speakers said that, according
to tentative calculations, about 5000
families in Washington might be
eligible for relief milk, but that this
figure did not include w. p. A. or
"low-income" groups.
They agreed, too, that there has
been considerable public misunder-
standing about the milk marketing
agreement that was placed in effect
here on February l, through the
Department of Agriculture and
executive order of the President.
Many persons, it was stated, believed
enormously that the agreement
provided the machinery for putting
the relief milk plan in operation in
a short time. The agreement, as
DR.. Gaumnitz stresses, merely made
low-cost relief milk legally possible,
II and when a specific program for
providing and distributing the milk
could be arranged.
Planning must proceed slowly, DR..
Gaumnitz said, because there is
little precedent to 60 on and because
the situation in Washington is diff
ferent from that in Boston and Chi
cago-the two cities in which relief
milk has been distributed success
fully on large scale.
The Rev. Harry v. Porter, forum
chairman, presided and explained
that the meeting was one of series
scheduled to help acquaint Wash
lngton civic groups with health and
welfare problems.
