Outline Projects, Goals The Newport Rotary club's new president, Moses Howard, with vice-president Darryl Garner and Roy T.

Thirteen cases of tuberculosis^ have been reported in the county thus far this year, according to Dr. Luther Fulcher, county health of ficer. Only one new case was recorded . in the county last year. Dr. Ful cher said the 13 cases have been ; uncovered through routine check- : ing of persons who have been known to have TB and by checking those with whom they have come in contact. Two of the 13 are patients who have had a recurrence of the dis ease. Seven patients have been admitted to the Eastern North Carolina sanatorium, Wilson, dur ing recent weeks. Dr. Fulcher said that he can't explain the upsurge in cases other than its being a normal fluctua tion. Sometimes there will be months with no incidence of TB, then suddenly a number of cases will be uncovered within a short period of time, as now. He said that the health depart ment can do as much x-raying as its budget and funds from the TB association will allow. He added that having a mobile x-ray unit in the county might help, but people are not required to have x-rays at the mobile unit. It's voluntary. The mobile unit is assigned to various parts of the state accord ing to the population. Because there is a small population in this area, it is difficult to get the mo bile unit here, he said. A chest clinic is conducted at the county health department ev ery three months by Dr. H. F. Easom. The clinic is one of the recent additional services offered by the health department. At the chest clinic Monday, July 18, there were 19 persons examined. They were former patients and -contacts of new cases. It was ad vised that one of the patients be ( re-admitted to the sanatorium. Three tuberculosis patients died thus far this year, according to health office records. Death, how ever, cannot be attributed solely to TB, since other factors were in volved, Dr. Fulcher said. ? Agent Trainee Miss Barbara Mitchell, of Ken ! ansville, is working this summer in the office of Mrs. Floy Garner, county home economics agent, as a trainee agent with the North Carolina Extension service. !
