Avoidance of Sickness Accident Among Industrial
 Workers, Aim of New Health Program in State

grouops of small plants. which. for economic reasons, cannot individu- ally maintain a complete health program. Collectively the small in- dustries could support medical service equally as efficient as that now in operation in many of the large plants.
 This lecture is not intended to argue the still controversial sub ject of full-time versus part-time industria! medical practice. But here I should like to express my opinion that 1t is the responsibility of the medical profession to clarify the whole question and to set forth for both industrial physicians and management the advantages of one plan over the other"
 Dr. Landry also pointed out the industrial physician can do much in the field of preventive medicine out side the factory itself. Indeed" he said, the industrial physician is already looked upon in some quar- ters as public health physician uncovering the social and environ mental conditions outside the plant which may injure the health of the worker.
 Contributing Factors
 Factors which influence health, such as worry, emotional difficulties, lack of home and personal hygiene, and poor diet may be disclosed when slump in production or lack of interest in his job brings the em- ploye befort the plant physician. The underlying trouble would other wise go undiscovered and uncor- rected. Most likely, under the cir cumstances, this employe would not of his own accord consult his fam fly physician but referred by the plant physician. he will receive timely and proper preventive treat ment.
 "The fine relationships which must prevail successfully to carry out this phase of industrial prac- tice depend upon complete under. standing not only among individuals but also among groups concerned. Labor, management. the profession. health. and social agencies are all interested. To cement these into harmonious whole is the responsi- hility of the industrial physician. This can be done through confer ence and consultation,
 Industrial medicine. and above all preventive medicine, is as much a creation of the industrial revolu- ton as are factories and machines of which 1t Is partly the result. But its inspiration is owed to the long ministry of our profession to mans health and well being. It sets forth before our graduates of medical schools many new opportunities and responsibilities. It challenges and calls for the best in the profession" 1"
