The Work of the Health Committee of the Lebanese Women's Union

The Health Committee of the Union is still pursuing its work with zeal and activity toward improving the state of health and of general cleanliness in the town. It has made many efforts, which have achieved the results sought for the comfort of the inhabitants — there is no room to enumerate them now.

The Union, and the Health Committee in particular, offer to the Honorable Governor of the distinguished city of Beirut, Nicolas Bey Rizkallah, their abundant thanks and gratitude for the kindness and graciousness he has shown in assisting the Committee. They likewise thank Sheikh Fouad Abdel Malek and Dr. Mohammad Ghandour for supporting it in everything asked of them, and for their promise to investigate all complaints submitted to them and to strive to act upon them.

It is truly a cause for satisfaction to see, on the part of the authorities, this genuine concern for the public interest, and, on the part of the inhabitants, this compliance with the authorities' orders out of willingness and consent. This shows us clearly that culture and refinement have begun to yield their results in the character of the community and in its understanding of the meaning of progress and advancement.
