Speaker for the banquet was Miss Dorothy Huskey, health educator with the Jackson Coun ty Public Health department. Miss Huskey stressed that to solve health problems on a county-wide basis, people of the county must often be educated to new social concepts that merely giving them information on these problems is not enough. Studies show that the economic status of an individual control how early and often he will visit his doctor, and added that improved public health will im prove the economic and educa tional status of a community. Listing some of this county's health problems, Miss Huskey said that sewage disposal in some districts is a health hazard, that the death rate from cancer and tumor could probably be lowered, that 9 out of 15 tuber culosis cases discovered recent ly were in late stages, and that medical care for older people is said to be insufficient. Miss Huskey elaborated on methods being used to change health concepts, and said that group teaching brings better re sults than an approach to in dividuals.
