Successor to Inherit
Well-Developed
Program
By George Beverage

There are at least two certain
Uies about the appointment of a
successor to District Health Of
ficer George c. Ruhland, who will
retire this month after Is years
service as the driving force behind
Washington's public health pro-
gram.
The first is that the appointee,
whom the Commissioners will Sc
lect from a list of three names
submitted by the city's health and
medical leaders, will face some Of
the same problems which have
plagued DR.. Rutland during his
stormy career.
The second, more hopefully, is
that despite current needs, he will
inherit a well-developed. vastly
improved health program.
Despite the advances, Dr.. Rub
land feels some disappointment
that more progress was not made.
Many of his problems have CEN
tered around money. He believes
one of the greatest needs is COR
rection of the present "unrealistic'
pay scales, if the department is to
attract and hold the caliber of
workers it needs.
1t is likely the $4,000 salary
will be a factor in choice of the
new health officer. just as the sal
ary was an important factor Is
years ago. Assured Of a substan-
tial increase, DR.. Rutland took
the job at a $500 scale. but it
was years before the increase
came to pass.

Here are few essentials, the
health officer said. for the future
health program:

exhibit prizes.
When Miss Pistorio Is not busy
at her job as scientific illustrator
with the Geological Survey. q post
she has held tor many years, or
attending OAR and Dollology
Club meetings. her time is given
to other patriotic and civic or
carnations.
Among the patriotic societies
which carry her name on her
rolls are the National Society of
Magma Carta Danes. Daughters
Of the Barons of Runnymede,
Daughters Of Colonial Wars,
Daughters Of American colonists,
Daughters of Founders and Pa
triots Of America. Daughters Of
1912 and the National Society of
Patriotic Women Of America.
Miss Pistorio's art career has
also encouraged her interest in
historical architecture. She is
an active member Of the Society
for the Preservation of Virginia
Antiquities. the Society for the
Preservation of Maryland An
Equities and the Thornton So
ciety for the preservation of old
houses In Washington.
Civic interests have directed her
into the Political Study Club, the
League Of Republican Women. the
Kalorama Citizens Association.
the Motion Picture Council. and
the Business and Professional
Women's Club.
AS If these were not enough to
exhaust the energies of the aver
age clubwoman, Miss Pistorio has
turned her tireless efforts toward
the writing field and there again
has shown success as an organ
izer. She is now going into her
second year as chairman Of the
District League of American Pen

the time of her appointment num-
bered only six or seven members

It would be hard to conceive of
Miss Pistorio's having any leisure
time with this imposing array Of
clubs and their regular meetings
to attend. but surprisingly enough
she does find some time to call
her own. What does she do with
1t? You guessed it. She takes
8-mm. outdoor pictures and is
now assembling them into a film
for the annual exhibit of the Am

CARNATIONS. So says Miss Irene
Pistorio, prominent Washington
ciubwoman who holds member
ship in no less than % patriotic.
fraternal, literary and hobby
clubs.
In fact, during the coming club
year, Miss Pistorio, who holds
down a daily job as a scientific
illustrator, will have her hands
full with the presidency Of three
clubs.
A cheerful and indefatigable
worker, she will not only head the
Magruder Chapter of the District
Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton as its regent. but will also
hold office as president Of the
Columbian Women Of George
Washington University and the
Dollology Club Of Washington.
The daughter and grand
daughter of two prominent United
States Marine Band musicians
her father. the late John H. Pts
torio, was a boyhood friend Of
John Philip Sousa-Irene Pistorio
early in life elected to pursue a
career in art instead Of music.
She majored in architecture at
George Washington University
and was its first woman graduate
in that field. She still treasures
the Veerhoff gold medal and first
prize for Beaux Arts design which
she was awarded for her scholar
ship.
It was at the university that the
future clubwoman first began her
"extracurricular career" She was
a charter member of Zeta Chap
ter Of Sigma Kappa Sorority,
one Of the three oldest sororities
at the university and is a life
member Of the Engineering So
ciety. Besides the Columbian
Women, she also holds member
ship In the Ladies' Board of the
George Washington University
Hospital and is a life member of
the General Alumni Association.
Perhaps Miss Pistorio is best
known for her extensive collec-
ton Of American Indian dolls
an interest that has grown with
her since childhood. Her first
Indian doll was presented to her
by her grandfather, and now she
has o collection which includes 10
pairs Of dolls from the 81 princi-
pal Indian tribes throughout the
United States.
It was her use Of the dolls in
lectures that led directly to her
successive appointments on the
American Indians committees Of
the District Daughters of the
American Revolution. the Nation
al OAR and the Children Of the
American Revolution. She is
national chairman of Indians for
the CAR and vice chairman for
the National OAR.
Miss Pistorio would like to cor
rect q general impression that her
collection consists only Of Indian
dolls. She Is just as proud of
her other dolls. including many
foreign makes and a group from
the famous collection of the late
Mrs. Frank Brett Moves. Her
collectors interest, which has her
busy this year as the president
Of the Dollology Club. has led to
related hobbies. Her case of
