Most outstanding accomplish ment of the year was establish- ment of two permanent chest x-ray centers, one at Sacred Heart and one at Community hospital. Mrs. Jack Walker, case finding chairman of the associa tion, reported that 2,184 persons had been x-rayed at the two cen ters since they were opened, the period being about 5V2 months in length. Of that number 25 persons were asked to return for further study, 13 were suspected tuberculosis cases and 11 remain under observation. During the past year eight cases have been found and two persons have been hospitalized. She also enumerated the number of other disorders which have been found by the x-rays. Mrs. Walker expressed her apprecia tion to the hospitals, the doctors, technicians and scores of volun teers who have aided the pro gram. Dr. A. Erin Merkel, Jackson county public health officer, gave a brief explanation of tu berculosis and said the tubercu lin testing program, carried on extensively in this county, '"is still one of our most valuable agents in the eradication of TB." He quoted figures to show "the remarkable decline" in the num ber of deaths from tuberculosis but added "we cannot let up on the attack." Almpst 4,000 tuberculin tests were given last year, Dr. Merkel said, this being the largest num ber given by any county in the state. Dr. Phyllis Plichta, chairman, reported for the health educa tion committee and Mrs. A. C. Uridel told of the work of the committee. Mrs. Uridel said that in some districts on the fringe of the city sanitary conditions 'are very bad" but that the resi dents were realizing the serious ness of the situation and begin ning to take action. She praised Senator Philip Lowry for his work in helping to pass a bill which would allow large areas to form themselves into sanitary districts, and pointed out that after the bill goes into effect in August, it is expected that dis tricts in Jackson county will be so organized. Mrs. R. H. Denning reviewed the television programs which the association sponsored the past year and Mrs. Walter Bish, family life chairman, spoke for that committee. She mentioned especially the organization of parent groups to study the prob lem of educating mentally re tarded children. Stressing that Jackson county is one of the two worst counties in Oregon in the amount of den tal caries, and since Oregon ranks low in this respect "this is one of the worst places on earth" as far as dental caries is concerned. She said the situa tion must be met by "helping people to help themselves" and said it might be necessary "to change our eating habits and our way of life" if the condition is to improve. Also giving reports were Mrs. M. O. Grove, seal sale chairman; Mrs. Lewis Ulrich, Sparrow me morial chairman and Mrs. Wil liam Knips, chairman of the volunteer services.
