Mental Institution Improvement
By Frances Lide

The Surgeon General cited the
aid extended by the Public Health
Service to Panama following an
outbreak of yellow fever in Janu-
ary. Within "a hours of the
alarm, $4,000 doses of yellow fever
vaccine were flown to Panama
and another 175,000 doses fol-
lowed" he said.
Officers of the service helped
get the outbreak under control.
Prompt action at the scene pre-
vented the spread of yellow fever
to the United States and its pos
sessions and to other vulnerable
areas in Latin America"
DR.. Scheele also pointed out
that this country has economic
and military reasons for an inter-
est in international health.
BY continuing Public Health
Mission to Liberia which was
established during the war, the
United States is protecting its in
terests in Liberia both for her
rubber products and as a base
for our airplanes. he said.
AS for the economic side Of the
picture, he declared: You can't
move many automobiles into the
heart of Africa If half of the
people there have tuberculosis"
The improvement of interna-
ticnal health eventually can mean
better chance for world peace.
DR.. Scheele concluded. Healthy
bodies mean healthy minds. And
through healthy minds we may
someday be able to achieve the
peace that we SEEK" he explained.
