BE IT FESOLVED that the Association of Union Boards of Health urge the Pro-

vincial Govornment to reclassify the position of psychologist in the Civil Service

in British Columbia,

The Associated Boards of Health of British Columbia represents all the

-Boards of Health in the Province and is composed of a group of men and women

vitally interested in the progress of public health. They feel that the present

shortage of trained workers in the abovo two categories is a great detriment and

hope that one or other of the Universities rray be able, in due course, to

establish training courses inthose spocialties.

These resolutions are also being brought to tho attention of the
