Dr Charles L Wilbar, Jr, 61, who served as president of the Board of Health from 1943 to 1953, died Wednesday in Washington, DC of a heart attack. He was born in Philadelphia, Pa.
Dr Wilbar, who lived in Morgantown, W Va, left Hawaii in 1953 to become deputy secretary of health in Pennsylvania.
He came to the Islands early in the 1930's for post-graduate work at Queen's Medical Center. He had graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1928 and received his medical decree there in 1932.
Beginning a long career in public health service, Dr Wilbar in 1936 became director of the Ewa Health project. In 1939 he became chief of the Bureau of Maternal and Child Health of the Hawaii Dept of Health.
During his years in Hawaii he was also a lecturer in the School of Public Health Nursing at the University.
Dr Wilbar served as secretary of health of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from 1957 to 1967 when he was appointed West Virginia director of the Regional Medical Program for heart, cancer, stroke and related diseases. He held this position at the time of his death.
In 1951, while he was in Hawaii, Dr Wilbar was one of two observers for the United States at the first meeting of the Western Pacific Region of the World Health Orgaization in Manila, the Philippines.
When he left public health service in Hawaii in 1953 he urged the Territory to greatly increase its programs in chronic disease prevention, dental health and nutrition.
In 1960 when he was visiting the Islands, he attacked the State's stand against fluoridation saying that Pennsylvania had about 50 percent off its water supply flouridated.
He said it was hard to understand Hawaii's stand against flouridation. Dr Wilbar had urged flouridation during his public health service here.
Dr Wilbar is survived by his widow, the former Mildred Irene Robinson; two daughters, Mrs David A Johnson Jr, of Hummelstown, Pa and Mrs Dan R Hayes of Santa Monica, Calif; three grandchildren, David,, Wann and Jennifer Hayes.
Funeral arrangements are pending in West Virgina.
