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

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.
Support Promised
Support from the cities of
Medford and Ashland in the
campaign to get the best po?s
ible response from the public
was promised by Mayor C. A
Meeker and Mayor Thornton
Wiley. Organized labor was rep
resented by Don Stansell, who
pledged one hundred per cent
cooperation.

ing the men to whom Mrs. Dun
bar referred was also stressed by
Dr. A. 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.
