VOLUME FORTY-THREE
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14,1952 NUMBER TWENTY-EIGHT
A proposal that a branch of the
county health department will be
established in Farmville if Town
Commissioners appropriate $1600 an
niudly for the pzojoct ksi bon iuidi
by Dr. Walter Humbert of Greenville,
Pitt’s health officer, who spoke Mon
day night to the local Rotary club.
Fonda from other sources, the
state and Federal treasuries, will sup
plement the local appropriation, thus
making is possible to establish the
health center here.
It is Dr. Humbert** idea that the
monies thus appropriated will be
sufficient to obtain the services of a
full-time public health muse for ibis
community, as well as to secure the
services of a sanitary engineer at
least three days per week. Only ex
pense to the town, other than the
' $1600, will be to provide two or tame
rooms as quarters for the staff num
bers located here.
The work of a public health agency
becomes more effective when the
agency is identified as closely as
possible with the unit of government
with which it works. For that rea
son, it is behoved that staff members
located here would become, in reality,
a part of the community, and would
accomplish more than would be other
wise accomplished by having the staff
members operate under a county unit
with headquarters in Greenville,
