The incidence of TB in Cho wan County is high, with an average of 43 per cent per 100,000 population as compared with the state average of 24.8 per cent. There was 6ne death in 1963 from the disease in the county and 12 were patients in North C&ittlina tuberculosis hos pitals. S 6 far this year eight cases have been diagnosed as TB. Prior to the gift of the X-ray machine, which is also maintain ed by the association, persons needing X-rays had to go to the Hertford Health Department or the Chowan Hospital, Where it was not always convenient to handle the additional out patient X-rays. Since the machine; has been installed there has been an av erage of 20 persons a week hav ing chest films made. X-rays are taken each Monday 'from 9 ! A.
