April 7 Deemed
World Health
Day Under U.N.
April 7 is celebrated around
the world as the birthday of the
World Health Organization
(WHO), for it was on April 7.
1948, that the required number
of nations ratified the Constitu
tion of the WHO. Today 85 na
tions are members of the WHO,
one of the largest specialized
Agencies of the United Nations,
dedicated to work for the “at
taniment by all peoples of the
highest possible level of health.”
Nations agree that health, one
of the fundamental rights of
every human being, means “a
state of complete physical, men
tal, and social well-being, not
merely the absence of disease or
infirmity ”

Review Achievements
World Health Day affords an
opportunity for nations and com
munities to review achievements
against illness; to rededicate
themselves to the cause of im
proving health of all people
everywhere; to arouse participa
tion of individuals, communities
and organizations in the work
of preventing illness in all peo
ple everywhere
This year attention is focused
on the need to “Destroy Disease-
Carrying Insects” so that mala
ria, yellow fever, t typhoid fever,
plague, typhus and other serious
illnesses which may be carried
by insects may never again be
come major health problems in
the United States.
The following capsules of in
formation apply to the U- S. A.
I—Organizations giving sup
port and cooperation to the in
sect pest-control program in
clude: U. S. Department of Agri
culture, Public Health Service,
State Colleges and Universities
and their Experiment and Ex
the bull show. At the halter is Ira Sauder.
This bull was a joint entry of Falklands
Farm, Schellsburg, Pa., and White Oaks
Farm, Clearfield, Pa. Other bulls in line
are those of Bushy Park Farms, BBF Paw
nee Kendale, and GV Hollo Domino, en
tered by Goodeview Farms. (Lancaster

tension Services, State and Local
Health Departments, insecticide
and equipment manufacturers
and pest-control operators.
2—lnsect enemies cost the U.
S- A. an estimated $4 billion a
year: They damage agriculture
crops, both food and fiber.
They invade homes to spoil
food and destroy clothing
They carry disease to farm
animals
They despoil forests and out
door recreation areas.
3—lnsects are an important
factor in the transmission of ill
ness in mankind.
Mosquitoes transmit malaria
and yellow fever.
Flies transmit dysentery, diar
rhea, and typhoid.
Fleas transmit plague-
Lice transmit typhus.
Ticks transmit Rocky Moun=
tain spotted fever and other
rickettsial diseases.
All can be controlled with to
day’s armament of insecticides
and the use of other control
measures.
4 “Public Health Insects”
are insects of public health im
portance and include those
which are potential disease vec
tors such as the transmitters of
malaria and typhoid and those
which are important because of
their effect on the comfort, phy
sical efficiency and well-being of
people Such insects, or tKeir
relatives, include: mosquitoes,
flies, cockroaches, fleas, lice,
ticks and mites.
5 Yellow fever in the U. S.
A- has been eradicated. Malaria
in the U S. A ds no longer a
problem In 1955, only 7 cases
of malaria were confirmed as
originating in this country. Sev
eral thousand cases were
brought into the U. S. A. during
recent years by servicemen re
turning from overseas malarious
areas. As long as malaria exists
as a major health problem any
where in the world there is the
possibility it can become a
threat to the health of the peo
ple in the U S. A.
6—Disasters such as floods:
storms, and .earthquakes may
provide conditions in which mos
quitoes and other insects thrive
and breed Under such circum
stances special measures must
be taken to prevent outbreaks of
insect-transmitted disease which
may reach epidemic proportions.
7—Since- 1942 an estimated ~
five million lives have been sav
ed, 100 million illnesses prevent
ed by the use of DDT in the con
trol of disease-carrying pests as
mosquitoes, lice, flies and fleas.
B—Americans used more than
Va billion pounds of insecticides
in 1955
9 Some 270 million people in
the Americas, in Europe, and in
Asia are being protected from
malaria Over 300 million still
need protection.
10— Public understanding and
cooperation are essential for
success in the struggle to de
stroy disease-carrying insects.
Every person can help in the
campaign against insect-borne
diseases.
