10 The Health Bulletin February, 1959 joys of this avocation that she might better advance the cause of public health. "WHEN PEOPLE SAY 'NO' TO HEALTH SERVICES" "When People Say 'No' to Health Services" is the title of a signed editorial by Dr. Herman E. Hilleboe, Commissioner of Health, New York State Health Department, in their Health News. From this editorial it would seem that the State of New York is offering its citizens more health services than are being used. The citizens of North Carolina are demanding more health services than appropriating bodies have provided. However, in both states we have our common problems. The following quotation is just as true in North Carolina as it is in New York. "There was a time when much of public health work required only the passive support of citizens and civic leaders. That was an age when environmental sanitation improvements could bring automatic benefits to everyone in a community. Not so today. The advent of chronic, degenerative diseases as major health concerns has ushered in an era that requires more than ever before the personal and active cooperation of many persons." Another paragraph should be of interest to our readers: "One polio immunization appeal aims a special reminder at persons 20 to 40 years of age by ending with the thought: 'Protect the whole family.' There is an honest and compelling inference in this reminder. It tells mothers and fathers that the well-being of their children will be in jeopardy if even one parent is stricken with paralytic polio and cannot discharge parental responsibilities." TWO FELLOWSHIPS OFFERED IN AUDIOLOGY AND SPEECH Opening of competition March 6 for two fellowships in audiology and speech at Northwestern University is announced by the American Hearing Society, its member agency, the St. Paul Hearing Society, and the university. Winners of the awards, known as the Reine Humbird Myers Fellowships, will receive $3,000 a year for two years while participating in a graduate program in preparation for work in local hearing societies. The fellowships were established in 1957 through a bequest from the Myers Foundation of St. Paul, Minnesota. Further information and applications may be obtained from Crayton Walker, executive director, American Hearing Society, 919 18th St., N. W., Washington 6, D. C. Closing date for returning completed applications to Mr. Walker is April 6. FALL PREVENTION RULES LISTED FOR AGED Falling is one of the commonest but most unnecessary hazards faced by older persons. Hundreds of thousands of old persons are injured every year from falls, and more persons die after 65 from falls and their complications than from auto accident injuries, according to an article in Today's Health, published by the American Medical Association. The article listed some of the major causes of falls and the ways in which they can be prevented. One of the major factors in falls is that as persons age their balance-recovery machinery fails. If a person starts to "teeter," certain muscles in his body instantly go into action to keep him on his feet. But in the older years, these muscles get lazy and don't < function as rapidly. Some of the most common causes of falls and their preventions are: —Stairways. When an older person goes up or down stairs, he should not take one step with each foot, but should put both feet on a step before proceeding to the next one. —Insufficient light. Older persons don't see as well as they once did. Stairways especially should be lighted. A night light in the bathroom is , recommended. In addition, a person should keep a flashlight by his bed to use if he gets up in the night.
