The above figures are for R. E. Black Gets 30-Day Reprieve Wilkes county and were given out today by R. L. Wooten, di rector of the re-employment of fice for five counties. The num ber of applicants on the active list for the other tour counties In this district have decreased accordingly. Seasonal occupation in farm ing and placements on PWA pro jects can be attributed as the principal reasons for the de crease in the number of employ ment applications and much can be attributed to the general up ward trend of business activity and expansion. Mr. Wooten states that many have been placed in private in dustry and further efforts are being made to absorb the re mainder. Of the total of 467 ap plicants 72 are veterans of the World War. In his files Mr. cording report in the of fice of the county health officer. Dr. A. J. Eller. Fifty-nine of the suspects j were classed as negative, four probable, and 18 doubtful. Eigh ty-five of the 102 were whites and 17 colored. The clinic was conducted by Dr. H. F. Easom, specialist from the state sanltorlum. In addition to the diagnosis as to whether or not the cases were positive or negative the clinician recommended treatment of var ious kinds to the positive and probable cases. Four were advis ed to take sanltorlum treatment, 23 X-Ray and further examina tion, 13 to keep temperature rec ord and have sputum examined, 1 to take home treatment, four to have tonsils removed and 20 referred to family physician lor special treatment. In addition to the 102 who were examined tuberculin tests were given to 90 persons who bad been in constant contact with the disease.
