Dr. David E. Ford of New Bern, N. C., recently resigned his position as health officer of Craven county, N. C., and has entered into private practice in the city. Dr. George N. Cooper, chairman of the State Board of Health for North Carolina, made the following comment on the work of Dr. Ford during his term as health officer for the county:
"I believe the state of North Carolinashould know of the work of Dr. Ford inCraven county during the past eight years.At the time Dr. Ford became health officervery few of the school children were protected against contagious diseases, such assmallpox and diphtheria. There was noinspection of food or food handlers and notuberculosis test for cows, and most homeshad very crude sanitation. The first thingthat Dr. Ford undertook was an antimalaria campaign. As a result the deathrate dropped from 55 to 12 for the last sixyears and for the first time in the historyof Craven county, in 1930 there were nodeaths from malaria. Both the state andcounty regret the resignation of Dr. Fordand compliment him very highly on thework he has carried out in the state."

During the month of May, Gene Sewall and Ned Robinson with a group of friends went on their annual fishing trip, this year to Moosehead Lake, and spent several very pleasant days fishing. On one or two days they hired an Indian guide whose home is in Old Town, Me., and who knew Hamilton and Nelson, classmates who still reside in Old Town. The Indian guide spoke very highly of them. The Secretary is now writing a letter to both of them, and hopes to have fuller news at a later date.
