BATHE ON MALARIA WAGES THIS WEEK IN JONES AND LENOIR The battle against malaria carrying mosquitoes is being waged this week in. Jones Coun ty, and one last assault against the enemy will be made in Le noir County on Friday, Dr. R. J. Jones, district health officer for the two counties, has announced. Technicians from* the'* State Board of Health are working in Jones County schools, taking blood tests from children through the sixth grades for. a check on their families. The blood testing in Lenoir County will take place at 3 p. m. Friday in the Moss Hill section at Davis* Mill. Some 100 per sons within a one~mil% radius of the mill will be checked. Two bases of mbtaria -fcavelK ed in the sectfonih t$e P LENOIR-JONES TO GET Good news came to the Le noir-Jones County Health Dis trict this week. In a letter to Dr. R. J..'Jones, health officer for the two counties, Dr. William A. Smith, director of the divis ion of tuberculosis control for the State Board of Health, set March 7,'1950, for the beginning of a mass chest X-ray project for the district. The campaign to detect tu berculosis in its curable, primary stages is expected to include 35, 000 residents of the two coun ties. in the month of the work. A half-dozen mobile X-ray un its are expected to< tour the dis trict in the program similar to that of last April when 1,550 school children in Lenoir Coun ty were’checked. The cost of the work, accord ing to an estimate by Dr. Smith, is expected to be about $3,500, approximately 10 cents per per son, The health check will be ^available, and Urged upon, every citizen pf the two counties over 15-years-of-nge. ; TOUR IN WESTERN END OF STATE IS GREAT STIMULANT County Agent A. V. Thomas says the recent tour made by a bus load of Jones County farm ers to the western part of North Carolina has done more to stim ulate interest in a well-rounded livestock program than anything that has happened in the county since he has lived in it. Practic ally everyone of the farmers who went on the trip is busy getting himself set with a piece of per manent pasture and before the year is over many of those who went and saw will have in creased their livestock produc tion both in cattle and swine, Thomas declares, The tour also created consider able interest in small- dairy herds, Thomas says. A trip over the county last Friday by Dairy Specialist R. R. Rich of the ex tension service has begun laying the groundwork for several small herds, and arrangements are fast being made for a milk route by either a New Beni or a Wilming ton concern.
