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.

Pork and are installing a new
locker plant, with construction to
be started in a few days," they
said.

Old Man Weather can be mighty tough on telephone
lines, especially in the High Sierras and Cascades where
snow often piles high enough to cover poles completely;
and ice builds up several inches thick on wires. But when
a major break occurs, crews of telephone workers swing
into action fast . . . and with some rather ingenious equip
ment.

A snoplane lik this one, powered by an airplane
motor and propcllor, can carry two men and considerable
material on trails which would be impossible for trucks.
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. Foe
here, as in ever) thing we're now doing to grow with the

service and teamwork . . . and always with you in mind.
