AMENDMENT ASKED ON SANITARY LAW
Recommendation to Gen. eral Assembly to Be Made By Public Health Council

The Public Health Council of the State Department of Health is rec ommending to the 1941 General As sembly that the Sanitary District Law enabling groups of towns to form health districts be amended according to Franklin M. Foote, M. D. in an article published in the monthly bulletin of the State De- partment of Health. The proposed amendments would provide perma- nent state aid to such towns for 50 per cent of their health budget, the amount of such aid in any one dis trict not to exceed $10OO0. Alloca- ton of the remainder of the cost to each town would be based on average annual tax receipts. Repres- entation on the district board of health would be governed partially by the relative size of each towl. $ population.
 The present law calls for each town, city or borough participating in this cooperative health board plan to be representated by two peo- pie appointed by the board of sel- ectmen, city council or board of burgesses. The distribution of cost is proportional to the grand list.
 Although public health and civic leaders are convinced that this is a practical metho of obtaining full time health protection, points out Doctor Foote there have been ob- Jections to allocating the cost &C., cording to the grand list because Of the variable relationship between the assessed valuation and the true value of property in different towns even in the same area. During the past four years the State Depart ment of Health has offered to assist towns, cities and boroughs through the use of United States Public Health Service funds to secure full time health service. The amount Of aid from this source is limited, however, in that it is subject to a ten per cent reduction each suc- ceeding year. Exception also has been taken to the provision in the current law for equal representation on the district board of health re- gardlesS of the population of the towns, cities and boroughs con- cerned.
 It is clear, Doctor Foote states, that those who realize the value of effective health protection must take aggressive action and assume leadership in making the formation of a cooperative health board pos- Sible in sections of the state where this need exists in order that mod ern methods in the prevention of disease and promotion of health may be furnished the smaller com munities. At the same time, it is important to amend the enabling act in order to allow all of the state to receive the benefit of pres ent day public health.
 The possible increased cost of such district organization to some towns would be more than offset by greater increase in health service, Doctor Foote explains. Oth- CT towns would actually save money and receive more complete health protection under full-time health officer. Liberal financial participa- ton by the state, however, has been found essential in some states in New England in bringing towns to- gether on district plan and in stabilizing the health program of those areas.

Defense Loans As In 1917-18 Treasury Plans Appeal For
BY WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Staff Correspondent

almost 23,OO000O peop:e subscribed a stupendous total of nearly seven billions
 The war over, a final Victory Drive" brought out almost 12 mil- lion subscribers for another four and a half billion.
 More than 35,000,000 other A1neri- cans also lend the government more than billion dollars additional by buying Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps and Treasury certificates. This plan was similar to the Savings Bond plan now in opera tion, but in much smaller units, such that it took whole sheet of stamps to make a $5 or $10 certificate.
 This popular response to the gov- ernment's need for cash has never been equaled in any country or time. It was stimulated by public meet ings, advertising, speeches, and every known means of publicity.
 Interest rates ranged from 3 1-3 to 3-4 per cent, tax-free except Tor estate and inheritance taxes. The '2onds fell in value after the war to the lower sos, but by the time
 1ey were refunded, between 1883 sld 1885, all had gone back to the par 100 or above.
 The forthcoming treasury drive to raise cash will probably proceed along similar lines except that it is proposed not to include tax exemp- ton. Interest rates, because the go- ing money rates are far lower to- day, will probably also be lower. But the World War lessons of how to realize the widest possible popu- lar base for loans will be applied once again.
