Barents Lax In Having
Children Vaccinated,
Says Health Office
The Health Department has anlounced
tfTat for the quarter just
nded only ten infants under one
'ear of age were vaccinated against
liphtheria; while in the one to
ive year group there have been
14; and five years or over, 133.
This indicates, according to the
department, that there is a gen- .
iral lack of cooperation with the
jtate Law, which requires that
liphtheria vaccinations be given
>efore a child is one year of age.
t also indicates a failure on the
>art of parents, in a large number
cases, to realize and assume
heir responsibility to their infant
ons and daughters to protect them
tgainst preventable disease while
hey are mo6t dangerously susceptible
and when their reaction to
mmunizing procedures is least

NEWS REEL SHOWS
GRIMSHAW POSTMASTER
ON SCREEN
The postmaster of the smallesl
postoffice in the world has seer
her first moving picture, as of last
Friday evening.
The postmaster of the smallesl
postoffice in the world had never
seen a movie, not until last Friday
night.
Mrs. Dewey Passmore, postmaster
of the Grimshaw Postoffice attended
the Sylva Drive-in theater
that evening as special guest ol
Mr. Elmer Neil, owner of the
theatre. The main cause for her
seeing her first movie, was the
fact that Southland News Service
had recently filmed Mrs. Passmore
and her tiny postoffice. Fridaj
night, the film was shown at the
Drive-in, and so Mrs. Passmore
was there to witness it.
The unique little postoffice
which measures only four and onehalf
feet by five feet is constructof
logs and boards. Operating the
year around, it offers full facilitiej
to about ten families in Grimshaw

Explore Possibilities For
T.B. Detection Clinic and
Equipment For This Area
At a meeting of the T. B. Seal
Sales Committee at Jarrett Springs
Hotel on Monday night, it was decided
to form a county-wide committee
to handle the fight against
Tuberculosis, immediately following
the Seals drive, with representatives
from the different townships
throughout the county represented.
With Mrs. Dan K. Moore presiding,
the committee heard C. S
Venable, District representative
for the Red Cross discuss the problems
and possibilities of a countywide
drive against the disease. It
was pointed out that, with the diflerent
townships working together
in common cause, the County funds
could be concentrated wherever
most needed.
Dr. Mary Michael told the group
that tiie present system of detecting
T.B. is far lrom adequate, since
its coverage is not complete enough.
She pointed out that there
was a need in Jackson County for
X-Raying large numbers of persons
on small X-Ray film, then
retaking the X-Ray on larger film
in the case of suspicious signs. At
the present time there are no such
facilities in Jackson County.
A suggestion was offered that
t horn u7mc a r?r???i hi 1 i t v that farnli ?
ties could be set up at the Community
Hospital which could serve
the entire County. Another suggestion
was presented whereby
several counties in this area might
combine funds to purchase a T.B.
X-Ray Mobile Truck which could
divide its time among the participating
counties, and under the dij
rection of qualified technicians, do
' a complete job of T.B. detection in
I the area. The Committee plans
'to oak h*Cu both possibilities.
Present at the meeting were: Mrs.
Dan K. Moore, presiding; Mrs.
Ralph Smith, Chairman of the T.B.
Seal Sales drive; Mrs. Ruth Smith
of the Welfare Department, Dr.
Mary Michael, Miss Violet Mann,
Mrs. David Hall, Jr., Rev. W. Q.
