The Health Bulletin March, 1959 spected properly; to be assured that your child will not likely contract polio or some other communicable disease because immunization and other control measures were adequate; to avoid the necessity of a painful series of antirabic treatments because the biting dog was properly vaccinated against rabies and the stray dog eliminated by the dog warden; to be assured that your family physician has available adequate State Laboratory diagnostic service for cancer and the newly discovered virus diseases; to know that the occupational hazards (perhaps in your job) in use of new and complex chemicals in industries are being constantly studied, evaluated and eliminated where possible; to know that facilities are available in the community to find the tuberculosis cases early; to have the advantages of an extended dental health program in the schools; to provide for nutritionally better diets in our schools and institutions; to prevent accidental poisoning, drowning or burning (possibly your child); to have at your finger tips accurately recorded vital public health statistical data needed so often in our modern living. How much are these things, represented in the request of $256,889, worth to you as a citizen of North Carolina? We are sure you will agree that no price tag can be placed on human health, but vigorous activity and serv-ive in all of the fields of public health previously mentioned can be available to you for an increase of approximately six cents per person per year. In a 1957 survey of forty-eight states by the United States Public Health Service, thirty-nine made greater percentage increase in appropriations for public health between 1950 and 1957 than North Carolina, which had 25.6%. South Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and Mississippi ranged between 39.9% and 174.9. In 1958 a similar survey showed per capita State appropriations for public health of: Georgia $1.73, Florida $1.49, Virginia $1.27, Kentucky $0.98, Tennessee $0.89, South Carolina $0.85, Mississippi $0.81, and North Carolina $0.70. North Carolina's greatest resource is the health of her people. The health program for the State is at a crucial stage in shifting emphasis from control of communicable disease to control of degenerative chronic diseases, accidental injuries and mental-emotional disorders. Shall the State go backwards in its provision for preventive health services or shall we move forward with a dynamic, vitalized health program keeping pace with other progressive programs of the State and the tradition for sound health work developed in the past? We are making this appeal to the people of North Carolina because we believe that they not only desire better public health services but are also willing to pay for progress on all constructive fronts. Notes and Comment1 MISS MAE REYNOLDS On November 15, 1958, Miss Mae Reynolds retired. She went to South Georgia for a well earned rest and has just recently returned to Raleigh. She has so many friends throughout the State who would wish to write her or call upon her that we have deliberately delayed any statement in The Bulletin concerning her retirement. Miss Reynolds' present address is 114 South Person Street, Raleigh, North Carolina. For more than 41 years Miss Reynolds was a faithful and loyal member of the staff of the State Board of Health. It was her duty to handle 1 the money which has been entrusted to the North Carolina State Board of Health; to see that it was properly allocated and expended economically.
