School Personnel
Urged to Appear
Aug. 7 for X-Rays
Teachers, administrators or
any non -certified personnel who
will be employed in the Morrow
County School District for the
coming year are requested to
take their chest X-ray tests at
the next regularly scheduled
date, Wednesday, August 7, at
Pioneer Memorial hospital, ac
cording to Mrs. Jack Barak, pres
ident of the Morrow County TB
and Health Association.
It has been the experience of
the hospital technicians that too
many in the district needing the
tests have waited until Septem
ber to appear. This makes too
heavy a load on the hospital's
X-ray machine and technicians,
Will O'Harra, hospital admini
strator, has found. Cooperation
by as many as possible to ap
pear on the date of August 7
will be appreciated by the
staff.
A recent contribution was
made by the county health as
sociation, according to Mrs. Bar
ak, when the association helped
sponsor a scholarship for a
teacher delegate in this area to
attend a recent youth smoking
clinic In Portland. Report of this
is expected at one of the fall
meetings.
