Page Eight THE PILOT, a Paper With Character, Aberdeen, NorthJgirolinB Friday, July 24, 1931 Infant Death Rate Shows Big Decrease Deaths of Children Under Year Old More than Hundred Less Than in May 1930 Graystone Inn At Roaring Gap As,several times noted in this pub lication during the last two years, at tention has been called to the high in fant moratlity in North Carolina. The month of May this year is most en couraging. In May of this year there were 445 deaths of infants under one year of age reported to the Bureau of Vital Statistics. For the same month last year there was a total of 592 deaths so recorded. Naturally the figures for this year are provisional, and there will probably be some addi tions running the total a little higher. At the same time, it will be noted that the reduction is a material one. For the month of May this year there were 54 deaths recorded under the heading of “maternal mortality.” Last year 61 similar deaths were recorded f(5r the same period. There is no way to determine the cause for the decrease this year. Weather conditions may have had something to do with it, as May 1930 was a very hot month and May of this year was an exceptionally cool month. The effect of the more fav orable weather this year was to cause a delay in the advent of the house fly season and to insure a safer milk supply. In any event, it is to be hoped that infant and maternal mortality in North Carolina in 1931 may reach the lowest level in the history of vital statictics reporting. It cannot do this, however, unless every agency, public and private, throughout the state makes a concerted effort to protect the babies from untimely deaths. Diphtheria is one of the man causes of infant mo^tjality and from six months to six years of age is the most fatal time in a child’s life from this disease, but all children can be saved from • diphtheria by timely preventa tive vaccination. “We are glad to see so many in fants ,as well as adults, turning out to the clinics for vaccination against diphtheria and typhoid. In addition to the clinics before mentioned, clinics are now being held at Mt. Holly School, Reeves Chapel, Glendon School, and the last addition is at Seawell’s Filling Station on No. 75 Highway commencing at 3:45 P. M. next Monday, July 20,” says Dr. J. Symington, public health officer. NEEDHAM’S GROVE Miss Flora Hussey visited Miss An nie Williams Saturday night.
