Abstract

April 7, 1956 has been designated World Health Day by the World Health Organization—WHO. Of particular interest to entomologists is the theme for the day, Destroy Disease-Carrying Insects. April 7 marks the 8th anniversary of the ratification of the Constitution of WHO with 85 nations around the world now belonging to this organization. WHO is one of the largest specialized agencies of the United Nations. The theme noted above focuses attention of WHO's goal of world wide eradication of malaria and on the relentless war against all insect-borne diseases. Most of the entomologists concerned in the task to Destroy Disease-Carrying Insects are members of this Society and we salute their progress. For additional information write the Office of Public Information, Pan American Sanitary Bureau, Regional Office of WHO, Washington, D. C.
