Through the coopera tion of the local doctors, five schools were given the opportunity of the tuberculin test. 623 chil dren were tested and there were 40 positive reactors from this num ber. One clinic was held for con tacts of those having died with the disease last year, 37 were tested and there were 13 positive reactors. Visits numbering 123 were made to positive reactors, suspects, doc tors and individuals interested in tuberculosis work. In tuberculosis work, education is believed to be the most impor tant feature. The month of April was set aside for a special early diagnostic educational drive ail over the U. S. A. Here, in McCor mick county, the tuberculosis films “Contacts” and “Behind the Shad ows” were shown. Twenty-nine talks were made to school children and four to adults, 1200 pamplets distributed, twenty-five posters placed and three news stories printed. At a later date a Mobile X-Ray Clinic will be held in this county. In this way a larger number of positive reactors and suspicious cases may be examined by the magic eye, the only way of find ing tuberculosis cases in their in fancy. This year as a result of the splendid efforts of our seal chair man and his group of loyal help ers, our sale was increased. It is hoped that there may be an even greater increase next year and that McCormick County can be organiz ed into a tuberculosis association. When this is done, plans will be made for the formation of a tu berculosis unit composed of Green wood, Saluda, McCormick and pos sibly Edgefield. Then with this machine to work out local prob lems more can be accomplised in our fight to make homes safe from T. B. “No home is safe until all homes are safe.” Eloise Miller, R.
