pe/tiay rep,

The most cherished, the most valued, the most long rangedly im-
portant about these people is their health. The ten people of TI®
DOUGLAS COUNTY HEALTH UNIT are paid small salaries and charged with the
promotion, preservation, and proper use of such health. This means an
average $25,000,000.00 respectfully for each of us".

.5. fhe whole Unit went to Parsons to help the Unit there start off
with their new building. We each learned something there and saw much
to instruct and to encourage us. Some of us have gone several times
to Topeka to programs of graduate instruction in the sort of work we
are trying to do here. We hope to go for a day soon, to attend an
institute covering several matters that are on the border between public
health and social welfare. As you know, economic welfare, social |
welfare, and public health, are only separate pockets in the same
garment and no is independent of the other two.

6. For more than two years we have been pushing for better laws on the
dog situation. It recently came through, partly, I believe, because

of the stimulus Miss Sheila Wilder, student councilman, acting for
Councilman Ralph Pine, gave the idea. I suggest that we send her a
congratulatory letter signed by our president and our secretary.

7. Arrangements have been made for a three and a half day chest X-Ray
clinic to be held at the Community Building, beginning at 1:00 P.M,

on May 23rd and contitmg into Saturday Nay 26. Please give it all
the publicity and support you can.

Respectfully submitted

H. L. Chambers, M.D.
