This means the rati ! j for tuberculosis as based on the state ! wide rate as a whole is much lowes for Cherokee county than the state j ' >i North Carolina, the state of North! Carolina showing: a rate of F?0.8 pet i i 00.000 population. This report is indeed encouraging: to the health de' partment but we must bear in mind ] ['hat no perfect statistics could be ar- j | rived at by the examination of so J ! limited u number of the population. ! On the other hand mnnv r.f !ple examined were contacts and had heen previously exposed 10 open cases of tuberculosis. In Clay County 5G people were examined and 3 of that number were found to be positive. These figure? -how a rate of 53 people per 100,000 or .53 cases per 1.000. Of course, the health department wishes it understood that these figures are in no way accurate as only a small proportion of the county's total population was examined. Graham county showed a higher rate, 171 per 100,000 or 1.7 per 1.00C. This, of course, may be due to the fact that Graham County has had n full-time Health Department for a longer time than Cherokee or Clay. I Consequently, a greater number in 1 proportion to population were examined. ^ Active i if IT .
