! of prevention v-a'rth a pound of euro, in no
; field is norc applicable than in-personal
■and public health.- Of‘late years,preven
tion, rather than cure, in medicine, has
'.boon stressed. Sinco the suing in this
; direction, more'agencies-ha vo become in
'terdstod in health—not only in*individ
ual, but also, community health.
In Palncr, interest in the health and'-wol

not confined to any one agency.
The following .all v:orh together:
I. The School
Health Education is part of the curric
ulum from the first grade up. Hygiene

program; physical examinations are con

II. Physician
The ohysician is a vital part of any
community health program. Palmer is
fortunate to have two qualified doctors
who are interested in the community’s
problems.
III. Hospital
Palmer citizens are more conscious of
the necessity for a hospital since the
recent fire. They now know what it
means to bo without one. It is of
course a definite asset for a community
this size to maintain its own hospital.
