I A healthy body is the greatest | lie in y of tuberculosis, he said, re ferring to proper food, one of which is milk. However, he said, he ex pected there are more, and maybe | twice as many automobiles in Chowan County than there are dairy cows. In closing he said education and oopcration must go hand in hand in eradicating the scourge of tubercu losis. | Six counties were represented at I he meeting, including several promi ! ent in the fight against the dteease.
