Announcd Jointly by Dr. Cart V.

and district health authorities, coun
ty medical society officers, school
superintendents, city and county wel
fare personnel, health educators,
women's club leaders and officers of
National Foundation county chap
ters.
"We dont want another Hickory,"
Reynolds and Randolph said. "In that
epidemic, everything had to be done
from scratch, fliere eras no ad
vance organization and the com
munity was totally unprepared to
treat patients on a mass scale end
to combat the outbreak."
First of its kind in the history of
the state, the conference will be di
vided into two parts: (1) a general
discussion in the morning devoted
principally to community problems
in epidemic areas and (2) panels in
the afternoon devoted to specific
problems of National Foundation
chapters, of physicians and related
professional personnel and of health
educators in the schools.
Representing National Foundation
headquarters will be Dr. Kenneth
Landauer, assistant medical director,
who will discuss the Foundation's
program, "Epidemic Emergency and
Year 'Round Medical Care," and Dr.
West J. Altenburg, director of chap
ters, who will discuss the work of
county chapters in epidemics.
Among the other speakers will be:
Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, state health
officer; Dr. G. M. Cooper, director,
State Crippled Children's Service;
Col. Charles W. Warren, director,
State Department of Vocational Re
habilitation, ^afcd Dr. Clyde A. Er
win. state superintendent of public
instruction.
Epidemic preparedness, Mr. Ran
dolph pointed out, is the "joint re
sponsibility of state and county
health departments, the National
Foundation and its county chapters.
County chapters, with local health
authorities, organize the communi
ty for emergency action. The Na
tional Foundation recruits profes
sional personnel?physicians, nurses
and physical therapists?and sends
in iron lungs, "hot pack" machines
and other equipment.
