; mountain near Asheville,
i The total estimated cost
! will be $2,500,000.
If the center is built it
will serve as a nucleus for a
1 medical center for all wes
tern North Carolina and
[ will provide the latest faci
( lities for diagnosis and
. treatment of disease, to be
■ made available to the medi
cal profession as a whole/
District Health Department
(Continued from last week)|
It will be the purpose ofj
our nurses to inspect for|
head lice and itch all school
children in the grades and
in high school, except for,
the first and third grades.!
These, the Health officerj
will catch during the physi
cal examination of* these
children.
We hope to examine all
children for orthopedic de
fects, and for those who
need examination to be sent
to an orthopedic surgeon
.at the clinic.
i •We do not have time to
screen test the vision of all
school children, but we ask
the teachers which children
seem to have visual defici-.
encies, and we then screen
them. Eye clinics held by!
our department in coopera
tion with the Welfare De-|
| partment and the ,State
Commission for the blind!
are held each year, and 1
glasses fitted at very low
cost. These clinics are al
ways held by well trained;
eye specialists. Often these j
doctors are professors in
the medical schools of Wake j
Forest Colley, arid Duke*
University.
We always have a few;
pairs of glasses left for
children whose parents re
fuse to take them or even
let the children wear them,
although we often offer
them free of charge. We
feel that this is a serious
reflection on the judgment
of these parents, and we
hope that they will soon
open their eyes to the fact
that they are forbidding
their children to get an ed
ucation.
We hope during this
school year to tuberculin
test all children in all schools
These tests are most useful
in determining tuberculosis
in children. The positve re
actors we hope to fluoro
scope, and X-ray those
, showng pathology on fluor
oscopic examination. These
' THEkYANCBY RECORD '
| films are all sent to the
westtrn North Carolina
Sanatorium to be studied
by the lung specialist there.
This work is all free except
■ for the cost of the films,
! and if the. TB Seal Sale
| Committees in the three
: counties will turn over the (
seal sale money for the pur
jehast of films, we will do}
them all free. When a child}
is found to be suffering
from active tuberculosis,!
we then send the child to j
. the sanatorium, and exam
ine all members of his fam-
n >- \ . \
We hope to show some
: motion pictures in the scho
i ols which have electricity.
■ These films are on health
subjects. The health officer
quizzes the children on the
lesson taught.
■| Mitchell county came in
to the dental program this!
,year for the first time, and!
'we/CTlLhave a few weeks of!
denial service in all three I
counties. We should feel,
very fortunate indeed toj
have this service for DrJ
.Ernest A. Branch, Directori
lof the Division of Oral
Hygiene has now only three 1
; white dentists whereas be
fore the war he had about
’ 30.
Our annual pre-school
clinics will be held, in the ;
1 spring. We hope that every 1
’ child who is to enter school
in the fall of 1947 as begin
: ners’ will come to these clin
ics. ' ,

' DON’T CUT ALFALFA
TOO LATE IN SEASON
Alfalfa should be allowed
to go into winter quarters
with about six inches of
growth, so as to protect it
against severe winter wea
ther and loss of stand.
It is difficult to give an
exact date as to when the
last cutting should be made,
and every farmer will have
to determine this point for
himself. Agronomists of the
Extension Service at State
College say that under no
condition should the crop
be cut later than th* last
week in September, and un
der some conditions this is
a dangerous procedure.
The alfalfa plants need
to produce relatively .gooc
growth after the last cut
ting and to store up plenty
of food to carry the crop
through the winter months
in good condition, without
the plants being weakened
by the cold. No one can tell
what the rainfall will be
