Health Education Important Part Of TB Control The relationship of health edu cation to the control of tubercu losis was explained today by Mrs. Theo Barss, health educa tion chairman of Jackson Coun ty Public Health association, the Christmas seal organization. "A high standard of public health is the best defense against tuberculosis, according to the National Tuberculosis associa tion," Mrs. Barss said. "Tuber culosis is the worst infectious killer in the United States, and, of course, the best defense against infection of any kind is a high standard of health. "Last year, in an effort to dis seminate the best possible infor mation of health, the association placed Today's Health, the America Medical association magazine, in most of the doctors' and dentists' offices in Jackson county." "We also sent packets of health information, and bulle tins . on the behaviour of chil dren, the relationship of tuber culosis and cleanliness, to all the schools in Jackson county. The teachers use this informa tion to help the children learn high standards of health and how to care for themselves. This information is also used in essay contests and regular school themes, in an effort to educate the children on how to avoid tuberculosis. As you know, the educated child becomes the aware adult," she concluded. This service to the community is provided by the Christmas seals. Jackson Public Health association is a volunteer organi zation supported by this once a year drive, Mrs. Barss stressed.
