Another resolution memoralizinp
the general assembly to enact a safe
and workable plan for the construc

legislation and other matters is un
desirable and unwise at this time."

latter resolution was adopted after
considerable discussion and after all

Plans For Health Work.
Dr. L. At--Riser/ director of county
health work in South Carolina, has
been busily engaged since the ad
journment of the legislature in mak
ing efforts to secure outside assist
ance in carrying on his work.. Dr.
Riser had planned to carry on the
work in seven counties but. w-hen the
general assembly failed to make suffi
cient appropriation to do this, Dr.
Riser interested .himself in outside
sources, being reluctant to relinquish
his seven county plan.
Dr. Riser said that arrangements
had been perfected by which the work
will be carried out in seven counties
as planned originally." The counties,
with the physician who will be in
charge of the work are as follows:
Lexington, Dr. B. E. Kneece; Calhoun,
Dr. T. H. Phillips; Orangeburg. Dr. R
S. Bailey; Darlingto- Dr. C. ,H. Ve.r
ner; Lee, Dr. C. C. Craft; Sumter, Dr,
D. T. Rankin; Marion, physician not
yet announced. • ■
It is hoped by the director that per
manent health organizations support
ed by the county, will be perfected in
each county. At the preser.t time, the
State is giving assistance to the coun
ties in the work, hut when the coun
ties come to fully appreciate the value
of the work, they will probably he
willing to bear the expense them
selves and to keep' the work going
without State assistance.
