It is most necessary that it be instituted as early as possible in order for the counties in the proposed district to receive the maximum benefit through - funds from the United States Public Health Service and the Tennessee Valley Authority. It is of the utmost importance that this health district be established at this particular time because of the creation of the national park and the thousands of tourists which will frequent this region and spend thousands of dollars in the coun ties. These people demand public health protection, and if the sever al counties are to be benefited, they must adequately safeguard not only the health of their citizens, but also that of their visitors. The Tennessee Valley Authority is anxious to have public health service established in all areas in which thev have enterprises, and with the development of adequate health service, we nrwht rightfully assume that other industries, either by the Tennessee Valley Authority, or outside interests, may be established. The North Carolina State Board of Health respectfully requests the appropriating body in Macon coun ty to take immediate action on this proposal and set up sufficient funds to insure this service, beginning as of July 1, 1935; it being under stood that it will be necessary to continue this appropriation from year to year over the five-year neriod. Since the North Carolina State Board of Health can in no way guarantee funds from the United States Public Health Service or the Tennessee Valley Authority for the entire five-year period, it is under stood that if these agencies have PUBLIC SCHOOL FACULTYNAMED (Continued From Page One) Miss Maybur Henson.
