The films were sent to the State Sanatorium for interpretation and due to the large number of films going there from all over the state the sanatorium was late in making its report on Carteret county work, explained Dr. N. T. Ennett, health officer. A total of 120 X-rays were made in Carteret county. Only one active case was found and this pa tient is now on the waiting list of the sanatorium, the health officer reported. However, six cases were consider ed likely to have tuberculosis. Oth er interpretations follow: inactive TB, 19; lung scar, 20; negative for TB but other disease present, 5; negative films, 69; blurred film, 1. The suspicious cases must be fol lowed up with other X-rays, though it appears that there is no tuber culosis money in the treasury of the Carteret County TB Association for this follow up work, said Dr. Ennett.

County Schools Adopt Group \ Insurance Plan For $1 Per Year Each Pupil Will Be Insured Against Accidents A group accident insurance plan under which every enrolled child in the Carteret county school sys tem may be covered with accident insurance, will go into effect at the beginning of the school year. II. L. Joslyn, superintendent of Carteret county schools, reported the action today. Mr. Joslyn said that while the board of education and the schools themselves have no legal liability in case of acci dent or injuries to the children in the performance of their normal duties, it has always been a mat ter of serious concern to school of ficials when children were injured and had to be taken to the hospital. Often they know the parents were unable to pay the bills. Mr. Joslyn said that this volun tary type of plan will relieve that kind of situation greatly and will assure every child who participates in the plan adequate medical at tent ion in case any accident occurs to him in connection with any of his school life. It has been the de- 1 sire for many years ainonu both teachers and parents, according to . Mr. Joslyn. that some plan of co\ erage might be found which would j provide financial assistance in pay ment of medical or hospital ex pense that might come as a result of sue h injuries. Since the cost of accident insur ance is higher than th?* average family feels that it can afford, very few children have the benefit' of such coverage, he said. Cost* SI Per Year However,
