County Health Unit Monticello Library Progresses With New Agent Announces Explained to Systems, New Books, Help of Students Schools to Aid In Weed Control Monticello Group Public health needs were outlined Wednesday night in a meeting held in the Monticello high school. The program featuring Willard West, public relations man for the State Board of Health and Robert Burgener, sanitarian from Price, was under the direction of the Blanding health council with Mrs. Chan Moulton presiding. Public Health nurse Rhea Viges and PTA president and County Marion Hazelton Commissioner also took part in the discussion of organization of a county health unit. The meeting was sponsored by the Monticello PTA. As recommended by the State Board of Health, the county health unit will consist of a board of health, five in number, appointed by the county commission, to establish policy and work closely with a doctor or medical officer. Included in the unit are the services of two nurses, full or part-tim- e sanitarian and a full time secretary to handle all clerical work. Through the close cooperation of professional and lay members the health unit would operate to hand'e health problems on a local basis, enforcing laws and regulations as well as conducting clinics, and health education programs and making recommendations for bettering the health of the county as a whole. The existing set-uproven inextra hours adequate despite many by our nurse Rhea Viges, will be discontinued on July 1. It is expected that the county unit will take over at this time. A special fund has been provided by the state of Utah to help in the formation and operation of county health units, provided the meets the requireorganization ments of the State Board of Health. For each person in the county, the state will provide $.50. Census figures used will be and include estimated growth of the area.
