An addition- el five thousand dollars is wanted j for "other health work among ne groes by meanS of trained workers j who educate their race in prevent ing the spread of communicable diseases by lectures and demon strations in churches and schools, and in homes ,by personal aid. The program as outlined by the State association calls for clinic f physician and consultant expert " in tuberculosis; a post-graduate course in tuberculosis nursing to graduate nurses; public health nursing for negroes; a publicity director to tell the people how tu berculosis is caused, how prevent ed and how cured. Salaries of clerks and stenographers are in cluded in the budget prepared by the association. It is the purpose of the asso ciation to establish the Modern Health Crusade in the, North Caro lina schools and $2,500 is wanted ,for this work.

Last year 52,000 school children enrolled as members of fe cru- sade for whites and 12,700 irt the colored. The susceptibility of the child, it k pointed out,, is caused by lowered resistance as the result of malnutrition, insufficient rest, . insanitary conditions, lack of prop ter medical attention or failure to . secure sufficient exercise in the open air.

The early spring fishery for cod off the South coast and. the seal fishery off the East coast were failures. The main cod fishery around the coast of the island and Labrador resulted in an estimated catch of 1,300,000 quintals (of 112 lbs.3. as aginst 1,700,000 for last year. The price dropped from $12 to $10 a quintal for Newfoundland fish amTtthe largest public utility concerns from $10 to $8 for .Labrador cod. in the country, plans to establish The decline in prices of cod oil. lob sters, salmon and other subsidiary products has been so great that the fisherman .will not receive more than half the amount which they obtained last year.
