At the District Health Planning
Meeting held in Kalispell at the
MayfloWer Cafe on Wednesday,

represented The following people

ot this meeting was to explain to
the people how better health facili-

ilsning a public health department.
which is supported by tax funds as
much as 25ce Federal aid can also
be received It was recommended
that a Public Health Department
be set up in each district where
there are $4,000 to $4,000 people.
The cost would be prohibitive for
smaller areas. Thus it would be
possible for Lincoln, Flathead, and
Lake counties to form a district for
establishing full-time Public
Health Department This depart
ment would be supervised by a
doctor who would spend all of his
time on public health He would
not be allowed to carry on a private
practice. Also on the staff there
would be a sanitation engineer who
would take care of waste and sew
age problems in the district
Throughout the district there would
be registered nurses on the basis of
one nurse to approximately 5000
of the population.
The purpose of this Public
Health Department is to keep well
people in continuous state of good
health and prevent outbreaks of
certain diseases from reaching cpl
demic stages. The cost of this SER
vice would be 81 to $3.50 per capita
for the district.

The sudden displacement of the
older group of cinema wonder
workers by no means signifies their
eclipse. Ford, Capra, Wyler and
Leo McCarey still represent the in
dustry's sturdiest claim to enduring
distinction. And, while they have
not been making the best films
lately-even in the opinion of the
Directors Guild-they have not been
more than a step behind the new
men.
AS a matter of fact, the competi-
ton which suddenly has sprung up
for their old -eminence is one of
the finest things that has happened
to the movies in several seasons.
1t still is an inescapable truism
that the first assurance of good
screen play is a good director. The
cinema still is directors medium.
