Despite remarkable advances In public health programs during the past 25 years, the United States sustains a tremendous annual an-nual loss from sickness and premature pre-mature death, said Miss Jean-ette Jean-ette Rosenstock, who with Mrs. Carol Ralle discussed "The Taxpayer's Tax-payer's Stake in Public Health" before Provo Rotarians. 1 "This involve a direct cost of more than two billion dollars each year for medical services and occasions oc-casions besides a loss of two per cent in useful industrial or commercial productivity. Would you believe it," Miss Rosenstock .-said, "if I told you that the common com-mon cold cost our nation $10.-000,000 $10.-000,000 each year? -Yet it lias been demonstrated that public health is a purchasable commodity com-modity and that expenditures for carefully planned health programs pro-grams executed by trained workers wor-kers yield large dividends. . . Preventable Deaths ; . Miss Rosenstock declared the country's death rate is padded with many preventable deaths, and "to let such deaths pass un-prevented un-prevented is, from the humane standpoint, a disquieting" thought; from the standpoint of social economics it is, at the least, a matter or inexcusably bad management man-agement of our affairs. "Clearly all the means at our command should be brought to bear in the endeavor to bring the longevity of our population r.carer to the possible upper limit." Public health work is the organized mechanism to v achieve the resLred result. Miss Ro senstock said." ' '. -' " " .

Miss Rosenstock , discuss e d health nursing, and outlined the benefits derived by the people from this activity. Mrs. Ralle discussed the public health program from many angles, particularly stressing the program as applied to Provo. She noted that a good public health proexam would cost from $2 to 52.50 per capita, but that Provo city spends but 27 cents per capita. u She discussed in detail monev spent here in various other city departments, noting that $1-33 was spent per capita for police protection.Jl.S2. for recreation, etc. "We feel this monev wa all wisely spent, but are these other departments more valuable than health to our community?" Health Small Share Mrs. Raile noted that in lorn practicaly 53 per cent of Utah's tax receipts went to eduratmn with less than five per cent for public health service. During 1938 me provo city school district spent $1337.48 for health, or eight and one-third cents per capita (29 cents per child). This included in-cluded a physician's salary, nurses' salaries and transportation transporta-tion and first aid materials. . "If we combine the public health expenditures of Provo city and the school district it would be leas than 35 cents per capita." The speaker pointed out, however, how-ever, that Provo receives outside out-side public health assistance also, including its -portion from the federal government and state. With all the various resources combined, it is estimated Provo Pro-vo spends" 75 cents per capita for its health program, or about 6ne-thircf. 6ne-thircf. of what the city needs to conduct an efficient program. Need Local Funds "I want to bring to mind the need of more local funds that we may have more assistance to help lower the maternal and infant death rate, to furnish assistance for the school children, to avoid the cost of retentions,, and to prevent the children of Provo from being susceptible to those diseases for which we do have definite preventative measures." - Both Miss Rosenstock and Mrs Raile are public health nurses.

Speaker William B. Bankhead, said the house was considering the bill under "a very, very liberal rule."

He objected when two members sought speaking time in advance of the neutrality debate. Sabath said he felt "what ever I or anyone else might say won't change a single vote" and he would confine hi remarks to an explanation of the rule. When he boan reading a letter let-ter from William Allen White, Kansas editor and head of a committee com-mittee supporting the administration administra-tion bill cries of "vote, vote" went up from the Republican side. "The adoption of this rule," said Rep. Frank O. Horton, R., Wyo:, "means but one thing. We are going to be asked to put our rubber rub-ber stamp on a city-slicker-drawn piece of legislation that's meant to deceive and mislead us." Rep. Martin J. Kennedy, D., N.

In ten years til e Plant will earn a net profit of 58(M,000 if it has 100 of the electrical load of the city. If the Municipal Plant has 100 of the load of Provo it will be able to re-finance its revenue bonds at much lower interest rates. Thus the total savings effected by the people of Provo if they vote against the Power Trust franchise will amount to well over $800,-;000. $800,-;000. Other) economies resulting from exclusive service by the Municipal Munici-pal Plant should bring the savings in a ten-year period to well over a million dollars. y s v That is what Provo will do if she gives the Power Trust a ten- gear franchise. The Utah Power & Light Company wants your Municipal Plant to fail.
