WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVER
Asks Solons To Aid
Public Health Work '
I
PYom his office in Raleigh. Dr.
Carl V. Reynolds, slate health officer.
has issued the following appeal
to the people of North Carolina soliciting
their support for the legislative
appropriation for public health
work in this state:
"It is admitted. and without fear
of contradiction, that the prevention
of disease and the preservation of
health has been, and is now, inadequately
distributed. Local communities
cannot deal with this mass problem.
unassisted. The state of North
Carolina should assume its relative
responsibility to insure its citizens the
protection and security that can be
had in no other way.
Through taxation, and in substantial
amounts and on a permanent
basis, is the only sound, economic
and profitable foundation upon which
we can establish a comprehensive
health program to meet the needs of
our citizens.
"In retrospection, it does not take
a patriarch the age of Methuselah to
l-ecall when there were thousands of
cases of smallpox where there are I
none today.
* On the basis of the state's population
in 1914 2,359,000?there were
S39 deaths from typhoid fever, as
against 47 in 1938. In 1914. there
were 2.938 deaths from pulmonary
tuberculosis, when we had only 1,149
in 1938. From diphtheria, there were
371 deaths iri 1914, as against 120 in
1P3S. And I should like to call attention
to the fact that these were
inexcusable. In deaths attributed to
malaria^ there were 253 in 1914 and
52 in 1938. Diarrhea and enteritis
among children under two was the
cause of 1900 deaths in 1914, reduced
to 6S7 in 1938.
The $499,857,930 war department
appropriation bill, providing fir3t
funds to tool industry for the new
air defense program, Friday received
the speediest house approval on record
for military appropriations.
