Reviews
Past Year
I Jackson County Public Health
S asociation's varied activities and
accomplishments the past year
were reviewed by several chair
men during the annual meeting
last week at the YMCA build
ing.
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.
