Show HEALTH EXHIBIT AT STATE FAIR CREATES MUCH INTEREST "A Trip to Healthland" is one of the main features of the exhibit of the Utah Public Health Association at the State Fair. It is electrically controlled, and with the aid of colored color-ed globes, makes a most attractive display. Another drawing feature is the colored illustrated lectures shown by means of. the "Attract-o-scope." One of these lectures is entitled "Mother Nature, M. D.," and is devoted de-voted to nutrition; the other stresses are the value of annual health examinations. ex-aminations. Then there is the "Roto-sign" which automatically flashes out a "good health" message of forty words in a very emphatic manner. Toilet soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, tooth-brushes, and other essential health .fids were distributed to the school children on school day. This is becoming be-coming quite an annual event with the Utah Public Health Association. A set of paneled .. water-colored charts, on easels, showing the causes of tuberculosis, its symptoms and treatment, graphically tell the visitor visit-or how this dread disease spreads. Considerable space is given to the work of the Modern Health Crusade, which is taught in the public schools. Pennants, banners, uniforms and insigna of knighthood are shown, also the national trophies won this year. Mrs. Ruth Ward Mumford, Miss Florence. Gilmore and Miss Lydia Alder, public health nurses in the employ of the Utah Public Health Association are in daily attendance at the exhibit to give information to the public. M. S. Parker, field representative of the association, is in charge of the exhibit. "We feel we have assembled the best exhibit we have had at the state fair during the past five years," said James H. Wallis. executive secretary of the Utah Public Health Association, "and every part of it is devoted to the prevention pre-vention and cure of tuberculosis and to the need of a state sanatorium for those unfortunate people who are afflicted af-flicted with the disease. We anticipate antici-pate a good response from all over the state when the Christmas Seals are placed on sale in December, as these furnish the only funds we receive re-ceive to carry on our work." |
