MEDFOltD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD. OBEGON, SUNDAY, XOTETHBEB 14. 1937 . DEATHSSHOWN Higher Rate Is Attributed to Effect of Depression Intelligent Interest of ' Public Is Held Big Need NEW YORK (UP) -Juat u the pott-war d&ys of 1018 precipitated a decided Increase in tuberculoslt mor tality in the United States, ao has tha recent years of economlo depres sion brought about a climbing rate of deaths from the same malady in this country. In the opinion of Dr. Kendall Emerson, managing director of the National Tuberculosis associa tion. After a careful survey of figures gleaned from the records of the state boards of health Just submitted to the National Tuberculosis association, Dr. Emerson found that 24 states and the District of Columbia showed higher death rate for last year than Id 193S. The lowest mark was O.J per eent In New Jersey. Oklahoma top ped the field with 22.7. Since the In crease had been expected, according to Dr. Emerson, a great deal of em phasis has been placed on a health program to halt this spreading dis ease. The death rate from tubercu losis was approximately only 4 per cent during the years 1025-1033. Delaware Record Best The g reft test headway made against tuberculosis was In Delaware, where the original Christmas Seals were sold to years ago. Nebraska and Wyoming follow close behind. Delaware reported drop In deaths per 100,000 persons from 61.S In 1939 to 48 8 In 1030, or t decrease of 157 to 126 In the num ber of deaths as against 300 In 1938. Wyoming shows a drop from 32.4 to 16.0. According to btate statistics, the total tuberculosis death rate for the United States rose from 64.5 per cent In 1935 to 66.4 In 1936.

With the exception of New Hampshire, all other sections of the country showed Increased death rate New York Toll 7.040 In New York state, 7,640 people died of tuberculosis in 1936 as com pared with 7.427 in 1935. the death rate per 100,000 population Increas ing from 57.6 per cent to 69.1. Hawaii and Puerto Rico reported Increases for last year, in Hawaii, there were 330 deaths with a rate of 7 per 100,000 population. In 1935, the rate was 76.0. In Puerto Rico, the rate jumped from 207.8 In 1935 to 600. 8 the following year, the number of deaths going from 6,094 to 5,182. "With the Improvement In our technic for handling tuberculosis, It should be possible to prevent any ma terial rise In the death rate," Dr. Emerson aald. "By a concentration of ffore we hope to start the annual mortality from this disease once more on the downward trend. Must Anticipate Epidemics. "Epidemics vary with different sea sons of the year and according to certain laws of perlodtty. One of the many Important duties of public health education la to anticipate auch accidents and to be prepared to decrease their seriousness by speed ing up known methods of prevention.- An aroused and Intelligent public Interest Is the greatest aid In organ ised prevention of dlseaae. In Dr. Emerson's opinion. "A people alert to a threatened danger will cooperate to avert It." he said. "Though the rise In tubercu losis mortality la slight at the mo ment, It should be taken as a call to arms and the people of the country should rally around the publio health service as a well-trained army of vol unteers to aid In turning back this ruthless enemy of human health be fore tt haa reformed Its ranks as In amount of the ground from which It haa been forced progressively to re treat since that date." "YOU and I V "You are going to be my messenger on rainy days. You lire going to take me to the stores and to my friends. You are going to help me have good times.
