ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURG, OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 21. 1947! FIVE X-Ray Surveys in T-B Campaign to Resume in March The 1947 X-ray surveys in Ore gon, outside of Portland, will be gin early in March, according to the Douglas County Health Asso ciation office. Financed through the purchase of Christmas seals, the miniature X-rays taken in Oregon in 1946 totaled 75,510. Of this-number 50,778 were taken by the mobile unit of the Oregon Tuberculosis Association; 22,577 were taken by' the portable unit of the State Board of Health and 2.155 were taken by units borrowed for use in the surveys. - Incomplete records show 337 cases of tuberculosis discovered in these surveys. The final reports on these surveys will show the status of disease at the time of the X-ray, age, race, sex and occupation of the person X-rayed, and the county or college in which the X-ravs were taken. Mrs. Ralph Church, of the local office, reported few changes in the procedure in the 1947 surveys as outlined to her. A few cases of tuberculosis have been lost between the time of the survey and the diagnosis of the private physician and thus must be avoid ed if possible, she said. Legislation Sought Health workers in Oregon, Mrs. Church stated, are watching with interest the new bills to be presented to the State Legislature this month. The state Board of Health has issued a bulletin out lining the substance of the fifteen bills which are considered of special importance to the main taining of better health within the state. One of the major bills, titled the District Health Department bill, will provide for two or more counties to combine on a volun tary basis to form a health dis trict unit. It provides for a dis trict board of health, the appoint ment of a district health officer, the employment of a. public health staff and for financing on a voluntary basis by the cooperat ing counties. The provision is designed to help counties which do not now have adequate health service. Eleven counties are now cooperat ing on a similar basis, of which Douglas County is one, and eleven counties do not have the benefit of full-time health serv ices. Without legislation, the manner in which the counties now use a cooperative plan, the bill states, is cumbersome and the medical director's duties are not clearly defined.

Other expert mountaineer workmen speed to the break on snowshoes and skis. As a special safeguard against sudden storms, well-equipped shelter huts have been built along mountain lines. Enough men rush to the job to keep repair work go ing without stop in the meantime, calls are immedi ately rerouted w henever possible. And sooner than you might imagine, the damaged lines are in use again.
