Exhaustive studies by medical and citizen leaders reveal that North Carolina is near the bottom in almost every standard health measurement. These studies help explain why North Carolina had a higher draft rejection record in World War 11 than any other state m the union . . . why a higher percentage of North Carolina mothers die during childbirth than in 41 other states . . . and why North Carolina has a higher infant mortality rate than 37 other states. Pictured here are the shocking facts. They don't make a pretty picture but they no longer can be ignored. The North Carolina Good Health Association presents the story with confidence that once the people know the facts they will do something about them, just as they did when an awakened state saw the need for better roads and for better schools. 11 1 ' 1 """7 "" .
