of each precinct are board of directors
for County Health Association.
These helpers are government ap-
pointed and paid to come to this
ri'-i
s
county, one of five, in the drouth area
of the past year to assist in organ-
izing and maintaining health clubs, in
view of the fact that in other locali-
ties and other times disease and dis-
tress have followed extreme drouth
areas and acting upon the "ounce or
preventative" measure they are ask-
ing the cooperation of every man,
woman and child to carry out tin-
work that is outlined for themselves
and us. This service will not cost via
a penny extra and it will be far bet-
ter to co-operate by way of sanitary
measures, health examination arid
vaccination where necessary, rather
than have to call on them with added
expense and suffering after some
malady has a good firm grip on us or
some of our loved ones or neighbor;.

The Lions Club is the only organi-
zation among the men of our town
that has withstood the drouth and
business depression. We commend
them for their steadfastness of pur-
pose and the ability to hold on and do
things. It may not be generally
known, but t.he few projects thai
have been put over in our town ant
county have been sponsored in the
main by the Lions Club. Many more
have been suggested and discussed
that will doubtless bear fruit later.
