Show Health Campaign Planned for "Year -i The message of good health is to be carried to the people of Utah during dur-ing the year 1924 by the Utah Public Health Association in such a manner as to leave its impress in every home. Armed with moving pictures, colored lantern slides, charts, posters, exhibits, exhib-its, and kinds of health literature, James H. Wallis and M. S. Parker, of the above organization will leave Salt Lake City the coming week for Sanpete County, where this statewide state-wide educational campaign will be opened. Every place in the state, where the films or slides can be shown, will be visited and lectures given. Among the moving pictures will be the following: "The Fly as a Disease Carrier;" "The Tournament of Youth," featuring the Modern Health Crusade; "The Value of Sound Teeth;" "Working for Dear Life," a story of the average man who scoffs at the idea of periodical health examinations; exam-inations; "The Reward of Courage," illustrating the danger of delay in the matter of cancer; "Out of the Shadow," dealing wtih tuberculosis and sanatorium treatment. Over three hundred slides, dealing with all phases of health, contagion and disease control will be carried with the films, and will be shown where it is found to be inconvenient to use the moving pictures. When a county is visited it is the intention to organize a health exhibit in a prominent store window at the county seat, while the tour of the county is being made. Here will be shown the Attract-O-Scope, a new machine recently purchased by the Utah Public Health Association, which will give an automatic illustrated illus-trated lecture on "Overhauling the Human Machine." It is the intention to visit, as far as possible, all cases of tuberculosis before leaving a county, for the purpose pur-pose of making social histories of each case found. For this purpose the physicians will be visited, and their co-operation solicited. The information in-formation , thus secured will be used by the committee appointed to take the necessary steps at the next session ses-sion of the Legislature to secure a state tuberculosis sanatorium. This campaign for a higher standard stan-dard of health among the people of Utah and all other activities of the Utah Public Health Association has been made possible entirely by the sale of Christmas Seals. In view of the very intensive educational program pro-gram to be carried out by the association asso-ciation this present year, the citizens citi-zens of the state will have no occa- sion to regret any purchase they made of those little philanthropic health messengers during the holiday season. The Christmas seal has a I very important and humanitarian ! mission and will no doubt have the increasing interest of the people as time goes on. It inspires and carries over a message of good cheer and good health and holds aloof the banner ban-ner of the double-barred cross, the world-wide emblem of the fight against tuberculosis. . , |
