This means that 34 59 per cent oi the county's live births last year occurred without benefit of hospital facilities for mother r.nd child. The records further show that i ii 43 counties of the state las'. y*.:u* a majority of the live births occurred outside a hospital In the state a. a whole the percentage born outside a hj p 1 was 35 17.

I ' on county i;!yde .a 1947 t le majority of iive b..ihs u.u not even have the attendance of a 1 li> - -ian. and in a >iore of other re unties the proportion of births without such attendance was be >? v en one third to nearly one half. A physician was in attendance at 100 of the Cherokee births, but 155 had only the attention of a midwife. In the same year the county had a total <>f 18 infant (i<-aths and two m. ial deaths. Of the infant deaths. 12 occurred in a hospital and outside a hospital or in circumstances un known A physician was in at tendance at 14 of tin- deaths and the remaining four had no atten tion of a physician or occurred in . 'reumstances unknown. The two maternil deaths took place in a hospital \s another aspect of the Chero kee county health picture, records show that, the counts budget for public health service for the fiscal i ' ear 1947-48 totaled $14,772 or 785 per capita. Of this total, local t?urce> contributed $7 '527 or 405 per capita: the state contributed $3,215 or .171 per capita: and $3. 930 or .209 per capita came from the federal Government Of the fH> counties which spent money for public health service. Cherokee count \ ranked 45th in ? >tal tier capita, expenditures. Another indication of Chero "Heads Up! Don't He Struck Down!" "Heads Up! Don't be Struck Do* n'" This injunction by the North Carolina Department of Motor Ve hicles highlights its November traf- ? fic safety program aimed at driv ing home the importance of 1 pedestrian rafcty. Pointing out that everyone is a pedestrian at some time or another. L C. Ilosscr. Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, urged people not to walk themselves to death. "One third of all victims of fatal traffic accidents in 1947 were pedestrians'" he said "National Safety Council figures tell us there were 10.300 pedestrians killed and 22 000 injured last year." Commissioner Rosser added that out of 83S traffic victims in North Carolina last year. 227 were pedes trian:'.. "This is an especially dangerous time of the year for pedestrians, because winter months mean few- j cr hours of daylight And almost j olf of all pedestrian deaths occur between 6:00 p. m and midnight." I Rosser strongly urged everybody to foliow these rules when walk ing: 1 Oljpy tralfic signals and signs 2 Cro>- streets only at intersec tions and stay within the cross walk. 3 Look carefully and all ways before stepping into the street or highway and keep alert all the v ay across. 4. Be extra careful where there arc parked cars or other obstacles I .> obscure your view or the view of drivers. 5. Don't leave the curb until you have plenty of time to get all the way across the street before ap proaching traffic can reach you. Kee's health rating can be found in the fact that from 1940 to January 1, 1945. the county had a total draft rejection rate of 41.35 per cent according to the Institute for Research in Social Science of the state university. Among the counties Cherokee ranked 30th in per cent of total rejections. In percentage of white rejections the i runty ranked 58th. with a rate of I 41.02 per cent. Where there were l'cwcr than 100 Negro men examin ed. no Negro draft rejection rate I was computed. Cherokee was one ef 14 counties in this category. 'oyce Stiles Visits Farm Boyce Stiles of Murphy recently visited the Purina Research Farm at Gray Summit, Mo . where he '.iw many practical operations to increase the nation's supply of meat, milk and e^gs. Stiles says it is possible for most faimers to step up their produc- ' tion of these vital and protective ; foods so essential to the country's ! welfare simply by following more efficient management and feeding practices. With feeding profits on ' livestock and poultry operations at | an all-time high level, such pro- ? jects as year round raising and j marketing of turkeys and a hog farrowing program under which sows produce an average of 18 pigs yearly on a two-litter-a-year pro pram. attract nation-wide interest ! On this 738-acre Farm in the foothills of the Ozark s, Stiles saw dairy heifers raised on dry feed ready for breeding at 12 to 15 s months lie saw grade Holsteins v hich for 20 years have increased their milk production at an average rate of 285 lbs. per cow per year, which is 17 times as fast as the normal rate of 16 lbs per cow per vca:. For more than 20 years, practi cal research on this Farm has de veloped programs on breeding. | feeding, sanitation and manage ment which have steadily increase the production at meat milk arKj e*gs and at the feme time buted in a substantial way to farmer's income.
