Pneumonia Gets
State Attention
This Week Being Observed
Over North Carolina To
War Against Scourge Of
Pneumonia
By HUBERT B. HAYWOOD, M.
D? (Chairman of the North Carolina
Commission on Pneumonia
Control and Member of the State
Board of Health.)
The North Carolina State Board
of Health, with the aid of the
State Medical Society and the
medical school and faculty of
Duke University, has set up a
commission for pneumonia control
and study in this State.
Through the courtesy of the
Duke University Medical School
and the cooperation of Dr. Wilburt
Davidson, its dean, and Dr.
Frederic M. Hanes, professor of
medicine, a laboratory course of
instruction in pneumonia typing
and other scientific procedure concerned
with the treatment of
pneumonia is offered free of charge
10 technicians of the State and
the doctors, during the week of
lanuary 24-29.
On January 28, a symposium
and clinic on pneumonia will be
offered the physicians of North
Carolina and adjacent territory,
'or which the following schedule
las been worked out:
A Consideration of the Pathological
Aspects of Lobar Pneumonia?Dr.
Wiley D. Forbus.
The Pathogenesis and Pathological
Anatomy of Secondary
Pneumonia?Dr. Douglas H. Sprint.
Bacteriology and Laboratory
Diagnosis of Pneumonia?Dr.
David T. Smith.
Pneumonia in Adults?Dr. Fre'
i - ir tt
aerie ai. nanes.
Pneumonia in Infants and Childhood?Dr.
Angus McBryde.
Empyema and Surgical Complications
of Pneumonia?Dr.
Deryle Hart.
X-Ray Diagnosis of Pneumonia
and Empyema?Dr. Robert J.
Reeves.
It is thus planned by the North
Carolina Pneumonia Commission,
by laboratory procedure, lectures,
demonstrations and motion picture
films, to train technicians who
will be available in every section
of North Carolina for the typing
of pneumococcus and for familiarizing
the physicians with the
efficacy of serum treatment in
the proper types of pneumonia
cases.
It is believed that an increased
demand for serum, which it' is
hoped will be available in every
part of the State, will eventually
cause a marked reduction in its
price. North Carolina has its proportionate
share of pneuhionia
deaths, and ye believe our' mortality
rate can be reduced.
The North Carolina Commission
on Pneumonia Control is composed
of the following: Dr. Hubert
B. Haywood, of Raleigh, member
of the State Board of Health;
Chairman: Dr. Douglas Craig, of
Winston-Salem, member of the
State Board of Health; Dr. Carl
V. Reynolds, of Raleigh, Secretary
of the State Board of fjealth
and State Health Officer; Dr. W.
T. Rainey, of Fayetteville, member
of the State Board of Health;

"Yes", said the girl. "What

The young man looked awkward.
"Why?er?I'm not sure," he
said, "but I take a six and seveneights

A WPA worker complained to
his boss man that he had been

furnished no tools.
"You should worry," answered
the boss, "as long as you don't
have any tools you don't have to
do any work and you're getting
pay for nothing."

Ash Man Uncovers
An Unusual Object
While preparing ground for a
tobacco bed, H. D. Jenrett, of
Ash route 1, uncovered an unusual
object in the woods near
his home last week.
The object was some kind of
hard mineral and the exterior
contained the impression of a
newspaper which was published
about 75 years ago, according to
dates found in the impression.
The unusual object has created
quite a bit of interest in Mr.
Jer.rett's section.

A recent study of pneumonia
shows an average of 96,500 deaths
a year. This represents an annual
rate of 77 per 100,000 population
and places pneumonia fifth as a
cause of death. If it should be
combined with influenza, the average
annual death rate would be
100, this placing this group close
to cancer and near the second
place. At least 85 per cent, or
500,000 of the pneumonia cases
estimated as occurring each year
are caused by pneumococci. There
are thirty-two recognized types
of pneumococcus which are identified
by the swelling reaction
of their capsules, when mixed with
the specific rabbit serum of their
type.
TvDes 1. 2. 3. 5. 7,, and 8 are
the most common types and probably
account for about seventy
per cent of the cases and eightyfive
per cent of the deaths that
are due to pneumococoi. Antipneumococcie
-serums have been
developed for- pneumonia due to
type# 1, 2, 5, 7, and 8 pneumoofieci.

from serum administered
are, therefore; more successful if
given at the. time of: the earliest
recognition of symptoms.
In a series of one thousand
cases at a metropolitan hospital,
of serum and non-serum treated
cases, these results were striking?
Serum death rate Non-serum rate
Type 1, 15,7 per cent 32.7 per cent
Type 2, 33 per cent 46.3 per cent
TyPe 5, 9.6 per cent 28.3 per cent
Type 7, 6.1 per cent 22 per cent
Type 8, 7J5 per cent 18.6 per cent
Recent developments in laboratory
procedure have changed the
technique of typing the pneumococcus
from a- complicated process
to one which can be accomplished
in half an hour's time,
with simple apparatus. As a consequence,
the use of serum in
the treatment of pneumonia has
increased in great strides, and
many lives which otherwise would
have been^ lost have been saved.
Many progressive States have
set up whole time pneumonia
commissions, with typing stations
and serum distribution centers.
Massachusetts has pioneered in
this work, with New York & clos?
second.
The North Carolina State Board
of Health and the medical profession
of the State have a vital
interest in pneumonia control and
the reduction of its death rate;
and plan to keep step with the
other progressive States in the
Union in the- fight on this disease,
which has been designated, "The
Great Captain of the Annies of
Death". - . ?

5QUTHPORT. N. C.
Wilmington's Postmaster
Is Native Of Southport
(Continued from page 1)
not have to guess now, but don't
cheat, if you don't know yet,
wait a while before you peep.
My subject is not a Wilmingtonian
by birth although he is
one of its leading citizens now.
He became acclimated in 1894 at
quite an early age and since then
has never thought of changing
his residence to any other city.
Wilmington to him is the nearest
thing to Heaven obtainable.
While still of tender years he
started an apprenticeship in the ni
Atlantic Coast Line shops, learn- to
ing the pipe fitting and plumbing
trade, afterwards organizing 1*
and managing the company which m
bore his name for years.
Although he was struggling to ?a
hold his own in the midst of 1
keen competition at the start of
his career, he nevertheless found ^
time to devote time to things
he loves most in life?singing and w
public service. He was one of
the original members of the old j ^
Boy's Brigade and has done much fo
to keep the old spirit aflame. He cg
also found time to serve as a
member of the board of county .
commissioners for 11 years from
1920 to 1931 and only resigned ?
then to accept a term in the
North Carolina legislature.
Needless to say in both positions
he covered himself with bj
glory and represented his county fe
with a fearless, aggressive vita- "c
llty that has not been excelled
before or since. He played no bl
favorites and was usually to be 14
found on the side which his con- P1
science dictated was right.
He is an ardent church mem- *'

uci attu v/uit ukiq ?
a choir with the best of them.
His leadership of the "Rat Poi- 03
son" quartet has made that or- * ''
ganization almost nationally fam- ?3
ous. co
He served with distinction dur- 01
ing the World war and was a m
second lieutenant. 15th Machine of
Gun battalion when mustered out th
of service. He is to be found in the 08
forefront at all patriotic celebra- th
tions and is always called upon m
to serve on the committee of ar- w
rangements for such affairs. in
On January 31, 1934, he was
appointed postmaster of the city A
of Wilmington, a position he has
since held with dignity to the
government and with credit to fr
himself. He is a leading mem- cc
ber of the Young Democrats th
club and is a loyal Roosevelt te
supporter. ea
So, to a mechanic, a business w
man, a lawmaker, soldier, a musician,
an official, a self-made
man, and at all time a gentle- w
man, I greet this week Postmas- n?
ter Wilbur R. Dosher. This
wreath of blood red poppies, with hs
the government seal emblazoned fr
thereon, will best fit his persona- tt
lity for he is equally .ndispen- ai
sible to both government and w
people alike in a good time or w
bad.
