New X-Ray Clinic Policy Announced Children under ten years of age will no longer be included at the chest x-ray put patient clinic at Sacred Heart hospital, L. O. Boomer, x-ray committee chairman has announced. Reasons given, for excluding children under 10 from the pro gram include the fact that x-ray films of young children are dif ficult to read, have not been sat isfactory, and that children of school age are given tuberculin tests in the schools. Dr. A. E. Merkel, county health officer, pointed out that those having a positive reaction to the tuberculin test will be sent to the x-ray clinic and, since young children come in contact with the tuberculosis germ only through adults, it is more prac tical for all adults to have x rays.
