JUNTY TO IEALTH 1 UNIT 7 Jl Time Health Service to Be Put Into Action in ' " Short Time. l"n)S APPROPRIATED ' i ' Jnty to Furnish $4,420 and balance of Sum Comes from State, Government ' and Donations. :. 4 As soon as funds are made avail able, Douglas county Is to Inaugurate a complete and full time health unit under the Rockefeller foundation plan. Thta health unit consists of a physi cian, and two health nurses, and a enographer or clerk, who will devote tie full time to the work of protec r the public health of the comniuni .W'hile this service does away with i -jtounty physician, it puts in the of one medical officer, who is Kt to call, a complete unit, work at all times, and under the drrec i and control of the county court i In cooperation with the state s rd of health. Ibis unit Is made possible through the Rockefeller foundation, a fund aside for the purpose of providing suitable ' organizations to safeguard and nrotect the health of the public. To provide funds for this work the j county appropriates me sum or 14,420. The yearly budget for the unit la $10,000 and the balance of this fund Is made up from the state board of health, the Rockefeller Foundation and the IT. S. department of labor. The detailed work of the health unit is given In the following outline .and plan of cooperative work, as present ed In the health bulletin submitted to the county by the state board of health. The Oregon state board of health is willing to enter into a cooperative program with Douglas county for the purpose of establishing a county health department to demonstrate to the pooplo of the county the advan tages of and tho necessity of such an organization for the protection of the public health. The following units of work shall constitute the foundation upon which all the activities of the department shall be based: 1. Unit of quarantine and epidemi ology. 2. Unit of health education. 3. Unit of sanitation. 4. Tuberculosis unit. 5. Infant hygiene unit. 6. Unit of physical inspection of school children. 7. Dispensary unit 1. Unit of guarantlne and epidemi ology: The work of this unit .shall be conducted in accordance with the laws of the elate and the rules and regulations of the state board of health, which laws and regulations are to be regarded as the minimum requirements. The health officer shall Conduct such other epidemicio-logical work as his time will permit, that may be of value in protecting the public health. IL Unit of public health education: The object of this unit is to properly Inform the peonle of the county upon matter relating to the public health. In the conduction of this unit free use should be made of the county press for the publication of suitable articles. Personal and circular let ters and personal visits uud confer ences, together with the dtiirlbution of pamphlets, folders, bulletins, and posters should be freely indulged in. Exhibits at county and community fairs will bo helpful. The most effoctive means of edu cating the people is by the use of lec tures Illustrated with lantern elides. These lectures should be carefully prepared and should bo given by tho health officer at every school district hi the county. The accomplishments of the de partment, ;nt the end Vf any ' given period, will be commensurate with tho amount and effectiveness of tho educational propaganda tho depart ment has or has not conducted. It is Important therefore that this unit of work be vigorously pursued at all times. ... , . III. Unit of sanitation: Sanitation means the establishment of conditions favorable to health. ' This unit of work, however, should be specifically Interpieted to mean the following: 1. A survey of the homes In the county, to determine the following: (a) Presence of latrine, (b) Type of iRtrine. (c) Location of latrine and relation to water supply, (d) Type of wnter supply, (e) Drainage. 2. A definite attempt to have reme died any conditions fould that are po tential dangers to the health of the individuals occupying the premises. 3. The Inspection of all public places to see that latrines and water supplies are in such conditions as not to be a source of danger to those who frequent the place, or to those in the adjacent community. 4. The Inspection of all dairies in the county to see that the milk is pro duced under sanitary conditions and comes from a herd free from tuber culosis. 6. Tho prompt attention to all com: plaints relative to Insanitary condi tions. 6. Tho abatement of insanitary nuisances. In teaching sanitation we, are simply teaching cleanliness and it la well lo keep In mind that there are two kinds of cleanliness; physical or esthetic, and biological cleanliness. The difference between the two may be illustrated by a comparison between the dangers from accumula ted refuse on the school grounds and the use of a common drinking cup at. the school. If we remove the accumu lated rubbish what have we accom plished towards the prevention of di sease? Again, an etanus spore on the shining blade of the surgeon's knife makes that instrument filthy, where as many such spores upon the breast of a chick may be harmless when in jected. , IV. Tuberculosis unit: In the con duction of this unit the following outline should be followed: 1 V. vW 7T1T 'IH J.TTIIll 111' TTTTTITTTnT' J1H U!l Hit UK I. 1( nil tttt i: n nit mi, m STk M'XT - - ' jNew 4 For the Year 1924 We Are Showing All the New Styles in Men's and Women's FOOTWEAR High-grade shoes for men, women and children.

Before a dispensary Is held, It should be thoroughly advertised at least one week In advance. The state agrees to furnish such vaccines as may bo needed at special ly quoted prices. Method of procedure: In the execu tion of the above outlined units of work, it Is believed that the best re sults will be obtained by pursuing a modified, intensive method. Of the seven units of work all re late to public health hazards that are constantly present, and will require attention at all times. Still It Is pos sible and desirable to intensify the work of each unit in rotation and at the same time not neglect the other units.

Put on a special publicity cam paign and concentrate the efforts of the department on this particular unit at this particular time, and at the same time carry on in a less Intensive j manner the other units of work. In I the fall, Intensify the tuberculosis! unit and conduct In a less Intenslvo I way the other units, and so on through the entire program. To In sure the maximum results each unit of work should be carefully cnnslder , ed and planned before It Is under I taken, ,'f possible, a definite order of procedure should be established ! that the work of the different units will merge one Into the other and the work of the different units will not' overlap or be duplicated.
