RESULTS SURVEY IN SCHOOLS FOR T. B. ANNOUNCED 44 Children Found Diseased, And 24 Suspected The Halifax County Health De partment has completed the tu berculin testing and X-ray follow up of school children in the coun ty, Dr. Robert F. Young, county health officer, announced today. The service was begun in Janu ary of this year with an educa tional program which was carried out in schools, by P.T.A. organiza tions, through the press and over the radio. Sound pictures were used, talks were made, and teach ers and school authorities were pledged to cooperate in making the program a success. Skin testing was done by Dr. Peck of the State Tuberculosis Sanatorium, who was assisted by a nurse from the county health de partment and with clerical assist ance by volunteer workers from the Junior Women’s Club. Sixty-three schools were visited and 6,486 children were tested. 1, 258-children in smaller schools were tested by Dr. Walter Hughes who was working in Halifax County at that time,, and its examinations made a total of 7,744 children test ed. Around 800 of the total showed positive reactions, and practically all of the children who reacted positively had X-ray pictures made. The X-rays were made at the Roa noke Rapids Hospital for the fee of $1 which was paid by parents, PTA, or other organizations. All pictures were sent to the State Sanatorium for expert read ing and recommendations, and the following report shows the outcome or me survey: Primary tuberculosis: white chil dren, 21; Negro children, 23; total, 44. Suspicious of primary and rein fection tuberculosis: white children, 13; Negro children, 11; total 24. Sanatorium treatment advised: Negro children 4. Negative for tuberculosis: white children, 311; Negro children, 380; total, 691. Dr. Young stated that finding these cases early enough to save lives and to prevent the spread of tuberculosis is indeed worth the time and effort involved, and the cases have been followed up by the county nurses to assist in getting recommendations carried out. “Tuberculosis is one of our ever present enemies”, Dr. Young said. “Every citizen should avail himself of the opportunity of having an annual check up by his physician or attend the X-ray clinics which are held every six months by the County Health Department.” :: IDeldon 'WIT1 * Mrs. Joe Ethridge and daughter of Florence, S.
