In the recent suspected case, the disease could have been transmitted by the family's water supply since they are using a hand-dug well. Such a well, the sanitarian explained, is not sealed properly and is shallow, allowing surface waters to seep in. This could include effluent from the family's septic tank, it was pointed out. Metal Shaft When a well is drilled a metal shaft is sunk to the bed-rock sealing off ground waters, and drilling extends past bed-rock for the source of water, the sanitar ian said. Such wells seldom be come contaminated, he added. Another disease transmitted by common carrier is. hepatitis, which is a liver infection. Cases have occurred also in fringe areas, public health authorities said. Since not all soils in Jackson county are suited to use of septic tanks and require sewage con nections, health department of ficials would like to have a stronger voice on what areas are built up. Insure Connection Seventy-five per cent of the Medford fringe areas should be annexed before subdivisions are allowed in, health department authorities recommended follow ing a survey made about a year ago. This would insure connec tions with the city sewer system for those areas not suitable for septic tanks, it was pointed out. In fact, public health author ities say there are very few areas around Medford where septic tanks would be or are suitable. Much of the soil is heavy clay soil, or of sticky gummy ma terial. Others have a high water table, which tends to float the sewage to the top. Still other soils are not of sufficient depth to act as drainage fields for the septic tank effluent. One fanner recently suggested that a map of the soil types in Jackson county be prepared so home-owners can decide for themselves the size septic tank needed. Jackson county does not have broad areas of changing soil types. Ground conditions can change every 100 feet, it was ex plained, so it would be hard to set regulations according to soil zones. Percolation Tests To determine if soil is suitable for septic tank drainage, perco lation tests are made. A six-inch hole is dug. Then enough water is poured into this to simulate winter conditions. Dry ground soaks up water faster than wet ground not giving a fair test. tone Pine Fall Concert Scheduled Jhursday The fall concert of the Lone Pine school will be held Thurs day, Nov. 7, at the school. More than 80 students will participate in the program, which will in clude solos, duets, chorus and a full band. The second grade will be fea tured in "The Gingerbread Boy." School officials said there will be a small charge to go to the band fund.

"Adding more tile to the field is not the answer," the senior sanitatarian said. "We have tried that. The effluent constantly pouring out tends to seal the soil. A septic tank can even work properly up to five years, then go bad. The fifth year is actu ally considered the critical per iod." Give Approval Moore explained that the health department must give its approval before any develop ment can be financed through Federal Housing Administration, G. I. and some private loans. 'More and more private loan companies are realizing . that a check by us can prevent a lot of grief," Moore said. "Otherwise, we have no check until it's too late. We do inspect oh request." "People fail to realize that the septic tank merely makes the waste entering it more easily ab sorbed in the ground. It breaks part of the material down and the soil bacteria in the drainage field break the rest of it down." "The thought behind Sfehter regulation is to protect the health of all the populace," the senior sanitarian pointed out. 'After all, why expand to cre ate more problems?"
