Abstract
SOME of you will remember the old-style paper-back books we we used to buy at the corner candy store when we were children. Those paperbacks always had double titles such as "From Rags to Riches — or the Rise of Abner Abernathy." This lecture, too, although it is on research and the community functions of a health department, might also be entitled "The Health Department as a Catalyst."The theme I wish to advance is that the modern health department has a major responsibility for exercising leadership in marshaling the total community resources for the attack on today's health problems. . . .
