An Electric Water Heater gives trouble-free service and lasts for years.

County Population Increase Brings Health Problems Civilian population in Orange County has increased 32 percent in the last four years and with the abnormal increase many new health problems have been acquired, Dr. Edward Lee Russell, county health officer, told members of the Rotary club Monday noon when they met in regular session at the Elk's clubhouse. He disclosed that at the present time the civilian population in the county is more than 172,000 people. He listed some of the reasons for the increase in health problems to housing conditions that exist due to the great shortage of proper facilities. Many houses have been built for only one family but now are housing as high as six families, he said, and house trailers are frequently kept where proper sanitary conditions are impossible. Another reason is that food standards are now harder to maintain than under normal circumstances because of the scarcity of good food. Dr. Russell revealed that many new strains of old diseases are being brought from other parts of the country due to the large migration here for war jobs and that these new strains are much more severe than those formerly found in this area. He told his interested audience that the increased problems of health control are being met by the health department through new methods and controls that have been recently developed. The speaker was introduced by the program chairman Dr. John Truxaw. President George Hedstrom presided and birthday greetings were extended to John Molt and M. A. Gauer.
