Keepin Healthy by Mary Richards The Illinois Department of Public Health has a motto you may find hard to believe..."Something we do affects you." In the hustle and bustle of every day living, chances are you are not aware of the many services provided by the state health department which have an effect on your life. Like what? Well, just as a starter, if you drink milk, eat in a restaurant, swim in a public pool, send your children to summer camp, have your teeth x-rayed, buy toys, drink from a public water supply, need immunizations for your children, have a premature baby...if you are seriously injured, if you have to be hospitalized, if you need a copy of a birth or death cer tificate, or just want some information about a particular public health problem...the Illinois Department of Public Health affects you. And these are just some of the ways the department touches your life. There are also services for those who have certain special health problems...renal disease, hemophilia, nutritional deficiencies, venereal disease, tuberculosis, to name a few. Altogether, IDPH (as it is called in bureaucratic jargon) has more than 100 programs serving the public health needs of Illinois' eleven million people. Take, as an example, the milk you drink. Fifty years ago THE FISH "Friends In Service Here" You may already know about Fish from your newspaper or other sources.

This includes you - if you would like to join Fish . . .you will never be asked to obligate yourself or listen to any lecture. There is no charge for any service Fish provides. If we can help you, it will be our privilege. When you call the fish number, a twenty-four hour answering service will answer and put you in touch with a member of Fish. We are ready to give you any of the following services, but the first five items can be provided only on an emergency basis: Babysitting, Tran sportation, Housework for the Sick, Providing a Meal, Food, Companionship for the elderly or shut-in, calling and listening, Referral, Reading to the Blind. More FISH are needed . . can you help? Most Fish services require no special talent or money, just an honest interest in serving one's fellow man. We need volunteers, including both men and women, teen-agers and also older groups. Some people work as teams, especially husbands and wives and neighbors; others provide specialized services such a legal or medical aid, cooking, babysitting, etc. v At present we are en deavoring to establish a "Telephone-Line" - a service for calling the elderly at certain times, to visit, listen, to let them know someone really cares. Maybe you, too, are temporarily confined to home or bed, and would enjoy such company. Captains will also be needed to set up and follow through on this service. We would be happy to have you join us in this endeavor.

Back then, most of the milk you drank came directly from the cow to the table, so to speak. While ad mittedly, it was usually nice and fresh, it was also an ex cellent carrier of disease, and outbreaks of milk-borne diseases we're fairly common. But, today, it's different. When was the last time you worried about the milk you drink being cbntaminated with some disease. . For more than forty years now, IDPH has been worrying about milk-borne diseases, so that you won't have to. They inspect and control the quality of your milk every step of the way from the time it leaves the cow until it reaches your home. Dairy herds, dairy farms, vehicles used to transport the milk, processing plants, even the dairy counters in the supermarkets...all are in spected regularly by IDPH to assure you that the milk you buy is safe and pure. This inspection and control also applies to other dairy products, such as cheese, ice cream or any food made from milk. • » Incidentally, if by chance you do purchase a carton of milk that seems spoiled or "bad" in some way, you may, in addition to returning it to the store, contact the state health department. They will then send a milk inspector to the store to check on the remaining supply. If they find any "bad" milk in the store, it will be removed from the shelves. As one of the milk inspectors said, "Milk is nature's most perfect food, and we help keep it that way." This is just one of the ways IDPH affects you...and they thought you'd like to know. If you want more information about their milk control program, write to Harold McAvoy, chief of the Division of Milk Control, Illinois Depart ment of Public Health, 535 West Jefferson street, Springfield, 111., 62761.
