excellent beginning for the campaign
by which it iB hoped that
about $5,000 will be raised for
furtherance of the "m 1 1 k-forhealth"
program in Greensboro.
In recent years North Carolina
has made as much progress
as any state in developing public
health facilities devoted to
the general good. No longer is
it necessary for a child to suffer
from diphtheria, smallpox, or typhoid
fever if reasonable precautions
are taken by parents thru'
health departments.
However, if children receive
sufficient milk it must be pu'o

maintained in many cities and,
admittedly, they have been the
means of protecting thousands

meant better health for children
who cannot provide for themselves.
