MORRIS DISCUSSES STATE LAWS FROM HEALTH STANDPOINT Attorney General is Speaker at Morning Session of Con- ference Here ‘The tendency of the last few years in legislation has been toward over- regulation, resulting in an unfavor- able reaction toward regulatory laws, Attorney General James Morris told the eighth annual conference of the North Dakota Health Officers’ associ- ation here Wednesday forenoon. His address opened the second day's meeting of the group which will con- clude its session late Wednesday. Dr. H. H. Pfister, Wahpeton, discussed the care of deciduous and permanent teeth in relation to health. A sym- posium on control of communicable diseases, including poliomyelitis, meas- Jes and veneral diseases, occupied the health officers most of the morning. Reports of committees and election of officers were scheduled on Wed- nesday afternoon’s program. “Many times,” Morris said, “the en- forcement of police powers by the state stirs up resentment among the persons regulated. The tendency of the last few years in legislation has been toward over-regulation. The re- sult has been that a reaction has set in wherein the public is getting out of sympathy with the enforcement of rules and regulations interfering with their personal affairs. In North Dakota we are licensing and regulat- ing our citizens to the extent that jus- tifies such a reaction.” Boards Have Powers Discussing pubiic health laws, Mor- ris explained that boards of health have been granted power to adopt Tules and regulations. “Under the laws of this state,” he said, “these regulations must be rea- sonably adapted to carry out the pur- pose or object of the specific laws to which they refer. A board of health can not by rule or regulation chang? the law nor broaden the law to cover any subject which does not come within the scope of the law itself. It is impossible to draw laws pertaining to public health that are so complete in themselves that they cover every- thing. While the general rule is that @ law should be complete, still there fare many matters relating to methods or details which may be covered by rules and regulations. “The legislature does not have pow- er to delegate law-making authority to any board or commission and an attempt upon the part of the legisla- ture to confer upon boards of health powcr to make regulations broader in scope than legislative enactment would be contrary to the constitution as an unlawful delegation of legisla- tive authority. Therefore, rules and regulations cannot be broader in scope than the law itself and may only relate to methods and details in- volved in enforcing this spccific attitude on the part of health officials tion is made.” Few to Supreme Court Only four or five cases involving the authority of health officials have reached the state supreme court, Mor- ris said. With two exceptions, he addcd, these cases shed little light on the authority of board of health as it exists under present laws. “The successful administration of the health laws,” the attorney gen- eral continued, “depends much more upon the attitude of the health of- ficials than upon the attitude of the courts. Health officials have direct contact with the public and insofar as the administration of health laws is based upon a fair and reasonable ttitude on the prt of health officials they will be successful. “If the public believes that these laws and the regulations of the boards of health throughout the state are fair and reasonable and have the best interests of the public generally, they will receive public support. If they are being enforced merely because they are the law and regulations, and with disregard to public interest and convenience, their enforcement will, of course, be met with subborn and at least partially justified resistance.” Youths Confess to Robberies in City Activities of a ring of youthful rob- bers were uncovered Wednesday when six Bismarck boys were arraigned in justice court on charges of larceny. Joseph Fritz and Joseph and An- ton Unzer were bound over to district court and three boys under 16 years of age were bound over to juvenile court. All six admitted participating in a series of robberies in recent weeks. Chief of Police C. J. Martineson said that the group had been respon- sible for the theft of merchandise from Winston Newell, Nash Finch, Dakota Hide and Fur company, and Northern Hide and Fur company as well as the theft of gasoline from two {illing stations. Entrance into the wholesale houses was made by breaking windows, Mar- tineson said. “It was not until the boys had con- fessed to breaking into the Nash Finch and Winston Newell companies, that the management of either con- cern learned of the robberies,” Mar- tineson said. Judge Grimson Has Sailed for America Stockholm, Sweden, April 27.—(?)— Judge Gudmunder Grimson, of Rug- by, N. D., who has been negotiating with authorities here and in Iceland in connection with establishment of a transatlantic air mail service, left for home Wednesday saying that he was satisfied with the results he had attained. The Danish government, he said, had given him permission to continue experimental flights for two years, at the end of which time it will give fav- orable consideration to granting the proposed line a concession. It is estimated that there are 20,000 radio receiving sets in Portugal al- though there are no broadcasting sta- tions in that country. Reduced prices on Ladies’ Fur Trimmed Coats at “The enor Shop”.

HEALTH PROGRAM | INSTATE'S DROUGHT AREA COST $36,875 Project is Described in Sym- posium Before N. D. Health Officers Maintenance of the public health in 12 drought-stricken counties in north- eastern North Dakota during the win- ter cost $36,875, Dr. Maysil M. Wil- Nlams, Bismarck, estimated before the conference of the North Dakota Health Officers’ association here Tuesday afternoon. Dr. Williams was one of four speak- ers giving a symposrum on_ health projects in drought areas. The other three were Miss Mary A. Johnson, R. N., Bismarck, “Nursing Administra- tion”; Dr. 8, J. Hillis, Berthold, “Med- ical Field Service”; and Miss Mabel A. Taylor, R. N., Washburn, “Nursing Field Service”. Dr. L. N. Serhus, Mi- not, led a discussion in connection with the symposium. Dr. Williams estimated the pudget as follows: Expenditures ‘Three medical health officers. .$8,100 12 public health nurses.. 18,909 Postage and supplies.... «» 1,500 Supervisory nurse and expenses 2,475 Biologies . 5,000 Sanitary engineer . rere reer «$36,875 Source of Funds i ++. $ 3,830 Public Health Service... 25,000 Counties State U. 8. ‘Total Twelve cou the project. They were Williams, Burke, Divide and Mountrail in the first district; Renville, Rolette, Mc- Henry and Pierce, second district: and McKenzie, Dunn, McLean and Morton, third district. ‘The personnel included one medical health officer for each district and one public health nurse for each county. One public health nurse su- pervised nursing activities. All of the field activities were under the super- yision of the director of the divisior: of child hygiene. Supplying of biolo- gies and maintenance of equipment was under the direction of the bureau of communicable diseases, which also devoted considerable time as consult- ant in epidemiology and immunol- ogy. The state sanitary engineer de- voted a third of his time to sanita- tion problems. Assisted Local Units This set-up, the symposium brought out, did not replace but merely assist- ed local health units in the propect. Genera! supervision was under the di- rection of the state health depart~] ment. Local units had to approve the projects before work was begun. _ The major points in the project in- cluded prevention of communicable |diseases, immunizations, sanitation, maternal, infant, pre-school, and school hygiene, nutrition, and general public health education, individually and in groups. The project was begun last Oct. 1. Doctors were chosen in the stricken district and as many North Dakota nurses as available were employed. It was necessary to secure some out-of- state nurses and the Minnesota health department lent a supervisor.

N the Rockies,” said Owen Lodge of Butte, “the differ- ence between a car and a mountain goat is that you don’t have to lu- bricate the goat.” . Mr. Lodge is a dental technician who in two years has driven a 1930 Chevrolet over 32,201 miles of canyon roads and high passes. Out here you can’t afford to experiment with engine oil,” he said as he took a steep grade to demonstrate the performance of his engine. “When Paul Bunyan was designing the Rockies he must have figured on shaking automo- biles to pieces as soon as possible. “So as soon as I got this car I filled it up with Iso-Vis and I’ve been using Iso-Vis ever since. “Driving other cars and using whatever oil was handy I had all the usual troubles of mountain driving.
