T.B. X-RAYS FIND
126 SUSPECTS Id
TOTAL OF 2,708
First findings of the chest
X-ray program, sponsored in
Jackson county by the Jackson
county Public Health associa
tion were reported to the as
sociation Thursday by Dr. A. E.
Merkel, public health officer.
Of the 2,708 persons X-rayed
by the Oregon Tuberculosis as
sociation technicians, 126 were
asked to have large X-rays
taken after the miniatures were
read, Dr. Merkel stated. Of
these 126 questionable or posi
tive cases 30 large films have
now been completed by the
micro readers.

These are their findings: Six
to be under continued observa
tion; three old TB inactive; one
known case; 12 non-tuberculosis;
five other findings; three early
active tuberculosis.
There are 32 films in the

A mighty atom
is your dime
Never a kitten will you find
that isn't full of frolic. Never
colt will you see that doesn't
kick its heels in air. Among
youth of every kind children
alone wear braces.
That doesn't seem right.
Yet it's that way things will
have to be so long as Polio can
go rampaging through the earth
. . . striking the innocent . . . lay
ing a cold hand on every moth
er's heart.
So what are we waiting for?
To every American commu
nity at this season comes the
March of Dimes. This enterprise
so dear to the heart of Presi
dent Roosevelt when he was
alive gives everyone a chance
to join the fight on Infantile
Paralysis.
This nation-wide institution
has turned the dime into a Polio
smashing atom. It has made pos
sible a chain reaction whereby
one dime-atom adds its force to
that of another ... in thousands
... in millions. Whether you
give one dime or a hatful, the
March of Dimes heips loose a
tremendous force against The
Enemy. '
Let none forget, either, that
the long, long struggle to con
quer Infantile Paralysis is still
far from won. In only three
other years, reports the Nation,
al Foundation, has this country
had a worse visitation than in
1945.
That's why new thousands
of American children cannot
kick their iron-dad heels. That's
why they cannot as every child
should be as playful as a kit
ten. That's why, dear Mister, you
can spare a dime!

Unit Return Asked
Requests for an early return
