PAGE TFN OR. WOODS ADDED 10 HEALTH STAFF; LOAD IS AT PEAK Dr. Harvey A. Woods, Ashland phy sician, to now serving as county dep uty health officer with a nominal aalary, and Dr. Harold B. Olllla la continuing under temporary appoint ment as assistant to Dr. A. N. John aon. county health officer. Dr. Olllla la assisting In the med ical and surgical treatment of the county's Indigent realdenta during 'ho period when the health department la most severely taxed. Dr. Johnson explained. The maximum number of cases la Invariably recorded during December. January and February, he stated. Dr. Woods, on the other hand, Is devoting hi time solely to public health work which. Dr. Johnson pointed out, is concerned only with preventive medicine. He Is serving Ashland and the Immediate vicinity leaving Dr. Johnson free to take care of the rest of the county, it having been found practically Impossible for one health officer to meet tne re' nuirementa of the entire county, It was explained. When the notional social security legislation becomes effective and funds are made available, it la plan ned to employ a sanitary Inspector In order to bring the health depart ment ataff up to the minimum stand ard recommended by publlo health authorities, Dr. Johnson aald. adding that a aanltary Inspector Is greatly needod here. When compared with other depart ments, the county health department la operating on an exceedingly email budget. Dr. Johnson emphasized, pointing out that the allotment for public health work amount roughly to only 2 cents per capita. "Modern scientific work haa placed In our hands the tool for the con trol of communicable diseases and has blazed tho tralla that will lead to the discovery of the causes and ways and meona to control the re maining ones." Dr. Johnson said. "We do not lack the knowledge of ways to reduce the Infant and ma ternal mortality. Even heart disease, cancer and nephritis are yielding some of their secrets. "But In spite of the progress that has been made, a large percentage cf our people remain without the essen tial public health aervlcea. Undoubt edly Inadequate appropriations and the lack of public health education are the primary causes for this sad commentary on our social Judgment. "Public health haa become a spe cialized field and requires a high de gree of technical knowledge and skill. But due to the lack of proper ap propriations many men with excellent qualifications go Into other fields that yield compensation in proportion wj their skill. "In Jackson oounty. as elsewhere, the public health expendlturea are ridiculously low as compared with the , other public services. "Public health Is concerned primar ily with prevention and only Inci dentally with diagnosis and treat ment. There haa been a trend, how ever, to Include medical relief as a responsibility of the health depart ment. While close cooperation be tween health activities and charity la essential,' nevertheless the two functions are separate and distinct and tt behooves the health depart ment to preserve this free from pub llo confusion."

Immigration haa declined to one of the lowest levels In history, and agi tation Is arising In favor of reopening Canada's doors to British and other immigrants. In the six months of the past fiscal year, only 6.570 immigrants entered the country. This was 12 percent less than in the corresponding period last year, Of the total, 1.373 were British; 3,049 came from the United States. 342 from northern Europe and 1,810 from other countries. In recent years, largely because of unemployment, Immigration from all parts of the world has been discour aged by the government. Even immigration wnicn was De signed for the agricultural areas was not promoted because of representa tions that the farm problem In many parts of the country was serious and that It would be aggravated by any Influx of immigrants. Associations which were formed to stimulate Brit ish migration, while not Impeded, got little assistance. Organized labor In sisted upon the ban being strictly applied. Many Influential Interests argue that the problems of Canada, espe cially those of taxation, are too heavy to bo borne by 10.000.000 people and that the only way to lighten the bur den Is to open the doors to more pro ducers and consumers. The represen tations went unheeded white the con servative government ot R. B. Ben nett was In office. It Is understood that the new lib eral government under Prime Minis ter Mackenzie King may adopt a dif ferent view. The question Is likely to be Introduced at the forthcoming In-ter-provlnclal conference since the cooperation of the various provinces would bo necessary In the event of any large movement of Immigrants Into Canada. DESPITE VETO IS HAlSOfTS CLAIM (Continued From Page One.) President Roosevelt passed questions on his bonus views. Harrison said he did not know whether the bill for the full 1045 value of the bonus certificates In blocks of $50 bonds cashable next June or to be held as investments for nine years, would be signed by tne president. "The president has made no state ment to anyone on it," he added. The Mlsslsslpplan told Senator Has tings (R., Del.) there was a "great difference between tne pending bill and the Patman Inflation measure ve toed by the president last session." He told how he and Senator Rob Inson, the Democratic leader, and others had "tramped to the White House and senators' offices" In an ef fort to reach a final agrement to dis pose of the bonus matter for good. Means Million More Senator Couzens (R., Mich.), who voted against the bill In committee. asked what "additional gratuity" would be given the veterans by pay ing them full 1045 value now. Frank T. Hlnes, veterans' administrator, had agreed with Couzens In committee that the bill would pay the veterans $1,000,000,000 more than under ex isting law. Harrison did not reply, but several senators tried to answer for him, without replying directly. "If w centered into contract with the veterans which they agnvj upon themselves, then I see no reason for changing that contract," Couzens said, referring to the law passed In 1024 giving the veterans 2-year cer tificates. Administration leaders in the chamber were pressing for passage before the week-end adjournment. contending that the giant Issue agi tated for 16 years should be dis posed of quickly. showed a' decline, 'while fruit nd corn yields Increased, and small grains in some Instances produced yields In excess of any ever recorded in the district.

LISTED BY BENET; NEW HAVEN, Conn. (UP) Pros pective authors should not under estimate the difficulty of a writing career, cautions Stephen St. Vincent Benet, outstanding American poet and author of "John Brown's Body." ' "Although writing is really a dif ficult process, most people think they are potential novelists," the author aald. "There are many who believe in the Inspirational or untaught song bird theory about authors. Accord ing to this, an author is a kind of wire: and If you run enough elec tricity Into him he'll turn on a light. The reaction of an author to a situ ation is like that of a slot machine. Actually, Inspiration Is the. molten metal of literature, but unless there Is a mold for the metal In the writ er's mind, It Is splashed about and wasted." Benet, who was chairman of the Tale Literary magazine when a Yale undergraduate, said the greatest ne cessity for a writer Is const saut cu riosity concerning the personality ot everyone with whom he comes la contact. But he also must have time to find out in what fields he can write to best effect. He recalled, that when Sinclair Lewis was at Yale, be was writing about knights and troubadours. "An author Is fortunate to realize $700 a year from his writings," Benet asserted. "On the other sand, one successful book might make as much, as $70,000." National socialism haa spread, among Germans living abroad, with. 500 different party groups In many lands having been organized. Here's what making gallons taught me!
