Prospect People
Praised for Work;
No new cases of infectious
hepatitis have been reported in
the Prospect area for the past
several months, it was reported
today by Dr. A. E. Merkelr.coun
ty health officer. ; --"It-now
appears, that through
the cooperation' of the people in
the "community of Prospect, the
disease, which was reaching epi
demic proportions, has been
halted," he stated. ..: However,
there have been 21 new cases re
ported, from other areas of the
county, more recently.
Arti Residents Praised
The county health department
and officers of the Jackson Coun
ty Health association voiced ap
preciation and admiration for the
manner in which the citizens of
Prospect and surrounding com
munities cooperated and initiat
ed measures - to prevent the
spread of the disease.
Dr. Merkel explained that
about a year ago a number of
cases of this disease, which is
highly infectious and which at
tacks the liver, began to be re
ported from Prospect. The State
Board of Health reported that
the number of cases throughout
the state had risen 04 per cent
and suggested measures for its
control. Most of these control
measures coverea sanitary con-j
ditions.
Program Launched
The matter was brought to the
attention of the public health as
sociation during a study of
health problems in the county,
Through the volunteers ' of this
organization, an educational pro
gram was launched
Residents of Prospect . held a
well-attended open meeting to
discuss methods of control and
voluntarily agreed not to hold
public gatherings at which food
vas served until all danger was
over, xney also 'agreed to take
necessary sanitary measures,
stressing extra precaution in
cleanliness.
Through-the efforts of the. citi
zens of .Prospect, tins is now
probably one of the safest places
in the county so far as infec
tious hepatitis is concerned, Dr,
Merkel stated.
