C., recently requested Miss I,itrhrst*y. coun ty neaitn nurse. to g-ve :,<Jr a narrative report of the Newoervy county dental clinic. Inasmuch as the Newberry county chaptcv A R. 0. has been standing sponsor for this clinic we asked for a cooy of as iepo;t. The report was read at the regular monthly meeting of the chaoter la.st A \ r\r* X 1 iua V aikcinuuiu -rx 1C3WIUHV.. passed at this meeting ommendifg Miss Lightsev an.i those associated with her in this for ihe splend'd resalts obtained as exhibited in the report. The committee requested that the report be given to the local papers for publication. You will find it in this issue and you ar" urged to read it. , The chapter feels that ibis venture has proven worth while. Ev?n the tangible results accomplished have more than compensated for the small amount of money expended. The educational value of the survey and clinic can not be estimated in dollars ( and cents. . We are glad to state that the Newberry chapter was the pioneer chapter in the state to put on the dental survey and clinic in the public schools. Miss Lightsey has received a number of inquiries about the clinic. The success of the work has been due in large measure to the hearty support given it by the county health un:t. In fact it would have been impossible to put on the clinic had we not had the backing of the unit. I sometimes wonder if the public at large realizes fully what the county health unit means to the county. Somehow the impression has gone ~ * . , . -j a:broad That the unit is costing tne county a tremendous amount of money. Just the other day a supposedly well informed gentleman asked me if I didn't think the health unit was costing the county too much money. Upon inquiry I found he hadn't the least idea the amount the unit was costing the county. I informed him that the last legislative delegation had appropriated $2,500 for the Newberry county health unit for 1922. Think of it! ?2,500 for this important work- Of course this is supplemented by state appropriation. The amount of good this unit has accomplished in educating the people througout the county in public health methods can not be estimated in terms of money. Who can reckon the value of the anti-typhoid lever campaign now being put on by this unit? During the month of June this unit gave more than 1200 typhoid fever inoculation, and it didn't cost the recipients a penny. Ask any one who has received this service at the hands of the unit if he thinks it is "costing the county too much money." Then, remember, too, this is. only one phase of the work of the unit. Ask Dr. Senn of Silverstreet what he thinks of the work of the health unit. Ask the Drs. Sease of Little Mountain, or Dr. Holloway of Chappells, or Dr. Pinner of Pomaria. These physicians come into daily contact with the work of the unit and are in positions to give true estimates of the worth of the unit to our county. I dare say that every one of them will give this department his unqualified endorsement. No! The health unit is not "costing the county too much money." The money appropriated is well spent. The fact is the unit is handicapped for the lack of funds. The unit needs a stenographer for the office work but no funds have been provided for one. This chapter is proud of the fact that it had a large part in bringing the health unit to Newberry. We consider the establishment of this unit one of the biggest accomplishments the chapter has put over since the clo6e of the World war, and the chapter stands ready to exert its influence to the utmost to keep it here. The influence of the unit is being felt in every community throughout the county. The educational oiimpaign aarried on by } will continue to bear fruit in years to come. If the service of the unit has touched you tell others about it. Let us create such a sentiment for the Newberry county health unit that it will not be necessary to flood our representatives with resolutions next spring in order to get an appropriation for it. John B. Setzler, Chairman Newberry Chapter A. R. C. Narrative Report of the Newberry County Dental Clinic In the fall of 1921, when preparing for the Red Cross roll call, the executive committee of the Red Cross chapter asked the county health de partment to suggest some aennite project in our line of work which they might put before the people as an incentive to continue their support. We suggested dental work | among: school children. The executive committee immediately voted the sum of three hundred dollars ($300) to be used for said work and appointed a committee composed of the county health officer, the county nurse, and a local dentist to formu late plans Tor spending in:s mmin tu best advantage. This committee decided to first make a dental survey of the school children, having dentists to do the inspection. We have eight dentists in the county and they a!! cooperated in the work, gladly giving their time ?had we asked it?but as some n:d more than others, the committee allowed a dollar an hour for time spent making inspections or doing corrective work, also to pay for the actual cost of material used. It was impossible to get to all the schools with dentists, so fhe dental inspection was done in a great many of the schools by the health officer * -1 . 1 ? i : ^ alone: witn me regular metucai inspect iun. With our limited funds we coulld not undertake corre-jtkns for everybody, r.o we ask-*.! teachers an.i ! "u v?e?s or a representative committee in each school district to indicate what families were actually unable to have dental work done. The health officer and nurse too advantage of every opportunity to talk to the children and parent* on "The Care of the Teeth." and urged them to have corrections made. i We held our first clinic for corrections February 24, 1922. Selecting one community, the nurse visited the homes and made arrangements for the pupils to meet at her office at a certain hour, having previously ar-, ranged with two or more dentists who spent the afternoon making the needed corrections, each working in his own office and using his own equipment. In some country com- i munities the ladies of the school improvement association were responsible for getting the children to town. Since the first clinic we have held three others from different communities; the work at one time being done by four dentists at Newberry; the next by one dentist at Whitmire; and the third by the three dentists at Prosperity. As a result of the educational work, the dental inspection, and one small clinic in the Whitmire school, the social worker of Glenn-Lowry mills and the local dent'<?t succeeded in gettnig a number of corrections made by offering a special rate to school children on certains days fori a limited time. I attach herewith some figures to show how much money has been spent and to give some idea of the work done, though our committee! feels sure that a great deal more has been accomplished thna is ah own by these figures.
