Kellogg Aid
For Health
Reviewed
Foundation Sets Fort h
rs Experiences
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

I AM in receipt of a we'll
Il printed volume which gives
the experience of the w. X.
Kellogg Health Foundation.
This foundation operates in
Michigan and was especially de-
signed to improve community
health.
1t is probably the most extern
sive social experiment in health
planning ever made.
1t began i'm one county in
Michigan and the entire county
was organized for the purpose
of improving the general health.
Before embarking on this
crusade the board of trustees of
the foundation decided that they
would use its resources mainly
in the application of knowledge
rather than in research or relief.
DESEARCH is of unquestioned
~ value but support was al
ready available for many worth
while projects.
Relief is necessary but has
come 10 be an accepted RESPONSE
bility of the government.
The important thing 10 do. In
their Judgment, was to find ways
and means TO help the average
citizen apply the knowledge that
had already been won for him.
This was a big undertaking:
all Of the resources in the way
OF hospitals, schools, churches
and homes of the county had to
be utilized; all sorts of social
service workers. including school
teachers. priests, and parents,
had to be educated and espe-
cially educated TO find out what
the needs OF the community
were.
1t would hardly be possible to
mention the individual activities
of the foundation in establishing
their work.
or course, most OF the work
was concentrated on the health
Of the children.
This began with rural ma
ternity care and included the
nutrition OF children which
meant that all the farmers and
food handlers in the community
had TO be convinced that they
should cooperate in order to
provide good. clean food.
T1NIVERS SAL protection
~ against infectious diseases
was established which meant an
intensive program Of education.
"Of course Johnny will be
lmmunized against diphtheria on
his o months birthday" said
casually by health workers over
and over again through the
radio, the printing press and
private talks was found to be
worth more than any amount OF
education.
The wonder Of the thing TO
me is that so many prejudices
were overcome.
This includes prejudices held
by the medical profession and
nurses as well as by parents and
teachers.
still get letters from stupid
people with stories about SOL
diers who fall down after they
have taken immunizations in the
army.
None OF the immunization
tests taken in the army can
possibly be harmful but the fools
still think they are.
But it is surprising how well
the program has worked; so well
in fact that a few years ago this
community in Michigan agreed
10 pay a voluntary tax to con-
tinue the work.
II involves a great deal Of
trouble but the experience APP
parently proves that no trouble
Is too much TO attain good
health.

ANNUAL MEET
OF PRESS GROUP
Del-Mar-Va Press Association
Discuss Problems of Weekly
Papers; Change Rate
OFFSET WAR LOSSES

Capt. Nathaniel F. Silsbee, of the
Army Air Corps reviewed the de-
velopment of the American air
forces Saturday at the joint annual
meetings of the Del-Mar-Va and
Maryland Press Associations. Cap
tain Silsbee, who is chief of the
research section, public relations
branch, was the principal speaker
at the luncheon meeting. Gov.Wal-
ter w. Bacon welcomed the associa-
ton members, and William E. Skel-
Ilenger, president of City Council
extended greetings for Mayor AL
bert w. James. Other speakers
were Leo M. Moore, of Havre de
Grace, and Samuel E. Shanahan, of
Eaton, Md, who was POSTMASTER.
Problems Discussed
The business sessions were devot-
ed to elections and to a discussion
of the wars effect on newspaper
publishing particularly of week.
lies. Among the subjects consider
ed were the loss of advertising rev.
enue, problems of circulation, and
the handling of public information
released through federal, state, and
municipal authorities. A proposal
to ask that publication of federal
and state releases be paid for by
the federal and state agencies at
space rates of papers on Eastern
Shore was made by Leon A.Andrus
of Queen Anne Record Observer,
Centreville.
New Subscription Rates
Proposals to increase the annual
subscription rate of weekly news
papers were studied as a means of
supplying revenue which has been
lost since large manufacturing
companies, formerly national adj
vertisers in weekly papers, have in
many cases discontinued weekly
newspaper advertising altogether.
1t was suggested that an average
of 80 cents a year be the increase
in subscription rate to offset losses
during the war. Theodore Town
send II of Milford was elected pres
ident of the Del-Mar-Va Associa-
tion to succeed c. L. Vincent of
Snow Hill. Other officers of the
Del-Mar-Va organization elected
were: Vice-president, Wallace White

SMYRNA AND VICINITY

The Victory Book Campaign is

quota is far from fulfilled. The
state has been allotted 10000 books
as its share, and surely Smyrna
can contribute its share of this
quota. Many people have quanti-
ties of books that will probably
never be used aagin, and, if turned
over to this campaign, would do a
world of good to our armed forces.
The book receptacle is still in Jones
Drug Store and if anyone desires to
contribute and has no transporta-
tion available, phone call (5851)
will bring a prompt response. This
campaign calls for no contribution
of funds, but simply of material
that has given its quota of good to
the owner, and would give its
worth to others.
