' "North Carolina, long the Southern

promptly its wisely planned program |
for good health,"
j Although the organization is. in j
! its infancy, already the names of
more than 1500 representative North
Carolina citizens, coming from var
ious groups, were signed to a charter
which was unanimously adopted by
the new Association. The signers >
included three former Governors, O,!
Max Gardner, Clyde Hoey and J.|
Melville Hroughton; the Chairmen of]
the two major political parties in j
this state, William 15. Umstead of]

j Lincolntbn; half a dozen presidents
of the State Medical Society, and
many other representative citizens.
Citing the inadequacy of the]
i State's health program at present,
the Association’s charter pointed out
that:
"In the number of hospital beds]
per thousand population, 41 of the I
4S States in the Union now rank j
ahead of North Carolina. 1
"Hi . the number of physicians per
thousand population, 44 of the 48
states rank ahead of North Carolina.
"In the, death-rate of infants, 38,
