How Many People Can a Doctor Serve?
How many people can a doctor Serve adequately?
No doubt we could find a wide difference of opinion
on this question.
In Buncombe County there is a doctor to every
679 people while in Gates County one doctor takes
care of the health of 5,300 people, almost eight times
as many as a Buncombe County doctor. There are
10 counties in the States with less than a thousand
people to be served by each doctor.
In Martin County the task of each doctor is to at
tend the welfare of 2.121 people.
Just how many people die in the State each year
for the want t>f medical and surgical attention can not
be estimated Vet it is practically certain that enough
people die each year in the State who might be saved

sioners of Martin County, North

with reasonable treatment to sustain twice as many
doctors as we now have, figuring the estimated value
of the human life.
The death rate from child birth is three times as
high in the counties with only a few doctors as it is
in the counties well supplied. This alone indicates
that the State needs more doctors. Yet only a few
young men are studying medicine, which today has
more to offer than law, engineerings, or teaching. It
may IK- a little too hard a task for the average young
man to undertake.

An Enormous Fire Loss
C -
For the five-year period 1923 to 1927, inclusive,
North Carolina lost the enormous sum of $25,919,893,
an average annual loss of $5,183,978.
We can cut that sum down one-third by using metal
roofing, good safe furnaces and flues; and then we can
cut another third by being careful with matches,
cigarette stumps, electric irons, kindling wood, waste
paper, loose trash, etc. *
The loss of property is not so bad as the loss of a
life almost every day in the year. Sometimes houses
burn down on sleeping people; often children are left
alone afid the house burns down on them; another
cause is the handling of gasoline carelessly, a thing
that requires the greatest care.
As much as we sdyVabout the need of care with
fire, we do not say enough. The schools could well
afford to take.up some time in teaching caution against
careless handling of fire.
A Call We Can Not Afford To Ignore
The Near East Educational Drive seems to be fall
ing flat in Martin County. So far only one school
in the county has made a contribution to the fund.
It was one of the small schools of the county.
It sounds a little strange to hear people say that
we get too big to do little things, though it appears to
l>e true in many instances.
Martin County can not afford not to give some
consideration to the stranger and beggar who stands
at the door and knocks.
If-200 rich people in the county would give $5 each
to the Near East educational fund, it would doubtless
do the world more good than a million spent on
Marines.
