Dr. Merkel Discusses County Health Funds Dr. A. Erin Merkel, county health officer, stated Friday that health department funds are not adequate to meet county health problems. He spoke during a public meeting sponsored by the county health department. Dr. Merkel said the budget Is $88,144 for the present year or about $1.35 per capita. Of this, he said, the county levies $52,477. or $.80 per capita. The rest of the money Is from state reimbursement, he said. Funds meet the barest needs, Dr. Merkel said. In 1937, he ex plained, the APHA recommend ed an expenditure of $2 per capita as a minimum. At that time, Merkel added, the county was spending $1 per capita. He said with $2 per capita budget a good job could be done.

Around Hollywood ' J 'a' irilHMiriMfflh-triis By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood U.R) One of the most famous voices In the movies has come out of retirement to join, television and he's no longer just a voice behind the scenes. Hardly a movie fan old er than 25 doesn't remem ber John Nes bitt's famous Aline Mosbr short subjects, "The Passing Parade," that al ways brought applause between the newsreel and the main fea ture.. I Now viewers can see what the voice looks like on CBS-TV's "xelephone Time" on Sunday evenings. Nesbitt is back with his same true feature stories from history, and this time he shows up on camera to introduce each tale. Viewers will notice that his appearance matches his voice an elegant, professor-type man with wavy, graying hair and res onant vocal chords. Movie Stories Used "We're using some of our movie stories on television, but most of the TV tales are new," aid Nesbitt. "We are hitting for quality. If a story is long hair, I popularize it. If it has emotional appeal, I do it in a restrained, adult manner." His plans for the TV show in clude such historical dramas as the story of Laura Bridgeman, the first deaf-mute to take her place in society. He also plans to show what actually happened to Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning after they were mar ried. They worked as their own press agents and planted copy on themselves at the newspapers. Some weeks he plans to use his movie technique of narrating the entire show, with the. story told in pantomime. Success Attained Early Nesbitt is one show business success who can't complain about the struggles of the trade. At an early age he was a hit on the radio and casually sauntered into an MGM contract. "I had the world's lovliest con tract," he said. "I worked four months each year at MGM, doing eight pictures a year for 10 years. They spoiled me rotten." Nesbitt made so much money he didn't need any more, so he retired six years ago to a ranch near Monterey, Calif., to "raise cattle and children." Recently he decided to bring what he calls ' his "dramatic journalism" to tel- j evision. ! Incidentally, he got those mag-1 nificent tones from shouting ' when he was a boy. "My father was deaf In one ear," he said. "If I didn't speak clearly and use good enunciation he would shout, 'What are you mumbling about, son'."
