that he will seek an impartial opin-
ION OF his administration of the
consolidated Board of Health.
IN letter to the State Board of
Health, DR.. Elliot has requested
that an official of the United States
Public Health Service be sent here
Tor survey to evaluate the work
and conduct of the local depart
ment.
Or. Elliot said the request to the
Federal agency, through the State
Board of health, is in line with the
suggestion presented at a meeting
OF the local board Thursday after
noon by Mayor Bruce B. Cameron.
IT the public health authority,
after a thorough investigation of
tne local set-up, its needs and pos
slDllltles, is of the opinion, and
this opinion is shared by mem
Ders of the Board of Heath that
my administration should be dis
continued, I will gladly submit my
resignation immediately Elliot
said.
Il am willing to leave to the

affairs is jeopardizing public
health in Wilmington and New
Hanover county," he continued.
I'm the event the Washington
official and the Board of Health
see fit for me to continue in Of
flee, I will be glad to accept all
suggestions from the United States
Public Health Service and do nv
best to see that they are put into
operation" he concluded.
Mayor Cameron told the Board
of Health at its Thursday meeting
that the administration of the or
ganization is weak and in a rut. :"
He attacked what he explained
was general lethargy, and ex-
planned that IF an immediate eff
fort is not made towards efficien-
cy in the inspection of such places
as Goldstein's alley it will be nee
essary to change the personnel
of the Board of Health"
The mayor emphasized that his
attack was not personal, but made
in the interest of countrywide
health conditions.
The mayor reported that the city
is contributing $57,177.44, of the
total sum contributed annually by
both city and county to the Board

after he had recovered a little from
the excitement.
THE general asked me how l
liked the army and how long
I'd been stationed in northern Ire
land. He noticed I wasn't wearing
any stripes and asked how many
months I'd been in the army. !
told him two years and explained
l had missed out on a technician's
rating back in. the States. u.
1--WE talked quite bit about
Kansas wheat and farm folks we
knew back in Abilene. Twenty
minutes later I figured I'd taken
up about enough of his time, so l
got up and got ready to leave.
Then I thought about those guys
in my hut and asked the general
whether he'd write me out some
thing to prove l actually had seen
the Supreme Commander OF the
Allied Forces.
HE actually wrote me a note
and told me, I'm glad you came
to see me and if you're here again
drop in. You're always welcome.
Then he shook my hand"
Armed with memorandum ON
stationery of "the commanding
general, European theater OF oper,

base. 49, -s: .+-
The note read: ~
Dear Thorpe:
'I'm delighted that, as a fellow

called at my. office to see me to-
day.

of Health, and that he wanted to
see more results for this financial
outlay.
The attack against the Board Of
Health's alleged non-aggressive
policy was prompted by the rave:
lation by city officials that evil
dence of inadequate sanitary in
spections have been found through
out Wilmington. The matter OF
sanitary inspections was discussed,
in positive terms, at the Wednes-
day morning meeting of the City
council, at which time Mayor
Cameron served notice that he in
tended to protest the inefficiency.
Mayor Cameron, with other Of
ficials, has been on two recent
tours of districts cluttered with
inferior houses, and where he said
in some instances waste and wa
ter and sewage were being emp
tied into back yards.
The Board of Health employs a
staff of five inspectors.
Comprising the Board of Health
are Addison Hewlett, ST., chair
man and ex-officio member, May
or Bruce B. Cameron, DR.. W.
