MOBILE X-RAY DATES TOLD AT HEALTHMEETING Mrs. Dunbar Says Unit To Arrive Nov. 26 X-Rays Of Men Particular Urge Definite dates for arrival in Jackson county of the mobile X-ray unit were announced Wednesday night, when Mrs. Saidie Orr Dunbar, executive secretary of the Oregon Tuber culosis association, met with cp- resentatives of various locali ties, organizations and industries of the county at dinner at the Hotel Medford. The unit, which Is heralded throughout the state as the most forward step in history of the eradication of tuberculosis, comes into this county Nov. 26 from Grants Pass. It will be FOR SNOWY WHITE WASHES i DftftPS AMERICA'S WASH WORD 13 stationed In Medford for work Nov. 29 and 30 and Dec. 3 and 4. The other dates in the schedule are Nov. 27 at Gold Hill; Nov. j 28 at Central Point, and Dec. 5 and 6 at Ashland. An enthusiastic welcome greet ed Mrs. Dunbar's news, as she told the history of the mobile unit in inspiring words. "This." she declared, "is probably the most exciting thing to happen in the history of public health in Jackson county. This is a sur vey, not a clinic, not a diagnosis, we want particularly to concen trate on X-raying men between the ages of 35 and 55, for we have found our highest death rate in Oregon from tuberculosis in this age group." Mrs. Dunbar was introduced to the group by Mrs. Elwood Hedberg, president of the Jack son county Public Health as sociation, which is sponsoring the survey here. In introducing the .speaker, Mrs. Hedberg em phasized again that the X-ray pictures will be made without cost to any individual. That they are paid for by the Jackson county Public Health association, as part of the public health program. Mrs. Dwight Findley of the junior health group, will act as chairman of the county drive, her immediate assistants to be Mrs. Robert C. Hart and Mrs. Kenneth Denman of Medtord Mrs. Dom Provost and Mrs. Jas. C. Miller, Jr., of Ashland; Mrs. John Clark of Central Point, and Mrs. Norman Gail of Gold Hill.

E. Merkel, Jackson county public health officer. Both pointed out that it is the men of these ages in all walks of life, who seem to have been neglect ed by the public health program. They have come under none of the previously scheduled sur veys. It is in this group that the hidden cases have been re vealed for the most part by the X-ray. And the cases have not been confined to any one class, Mrs. Dunbar declared, the bank er is just as apt to have it and not know it as is the man at the wheel of a truck. Need Filled When the war emphasized the need for a better diagnosis of tuberculosis the X-ray, Mrs. Dunbar said, seemed to be the answer to the prayer for finding hidden cases. Then came the mobile X-ray unit, which made such a program financially poss ible. It is equipped with two X-ray technicians, a dark room and the chauffeur. The X-ray turns are sent to Portland im mediately and are read there by four X-ray specialists. If there are findings, whiclT indicate any type of trouble in the chest the reader asks for a larger picture. a 14x17 film, and this is ilso financed by the public heaith association. The information obtained is forwarded to Dr. Merkel, only, as public health officer. If there is any reason to follow up the case the indi vidual is referred to his private physician.
