ID BE DESERTER U; S. ARMY to show that Charlie R. Forbes, former director of the Veterans' ; Buerau. was dropped from of' the army as a the It la not my purpose to unduly.alarm anyone, but I want to bring to the attention of the thoughtful men and women of our community a aituation which, In my opinion, deserves our serious consideration. During the past few weeke I Jiave had brought to my atten tion a situation in reference to the presence in this county of tuberculosis, which I did not realise existed. Since the first of September, Miss L M. McGInley, the nurse working in connection with tho locgl Tuberculosis Association, ha* beer, making « thor ough survey of the county with the Ides \of gathering definite information touching the extent of tuherngosis. Her investiga tions have disclosed a situation which I am quite sure is unknown to the great majorty of our people. Not only has ahe found an unusually high percentage of tubercular patients in proportion to our population, hut her inveetlgationa have-disclosed a pathetic and dire need in many quarters. - - - When we realise, as we must, the terrible certainty of death from thie disease unless proper food, net and living conditions can be had, and when we know too that medical research has shown thkt for evtry person suffering from tuberculosis in an ad vanced stage five other persons are practically certain to be affected, we will'realise that this situation Is a community prob lem which deiervee our thoughtful consideration. Moat of those stricken with this dread whtta plague are unable to take those remedial measures* that would give them a chance to live. They cannot meet the expense Involved in the proper care of them selves. In addition to the ettuation that facet thoec actually suffering from tubereuloeis, there is. another serione aspect. Each of these tubercular cases is a constant menace to the general health of the community. None of us know when vj, or mem- ben of our families, are expoaed to this disease. I have, during the laat few days, been in touch with situations in this nspect that have opened, my eyes to this danger. Many of our people . . are employing servants who eltbar an acitvely tubercular or who ,™i* of the army as a deserted, are living in houses with those who ars i»»itive!y affected. 13*1* 0T *r to H>e 8cniit* I do not think that It 1s necessary to recite the details of veterans Committee Monday by these cues, since ail of us an aware of the possibilities attached tnedepartment. to instances of this character. I, however,'do feel that tt is time | J** *»J®™ wi lor the people of this county to consider the question of making ~ some provision for those who an in the advanced stages of tu berculosis and taka dtfinKe steps looking to the eradication of this disease In this community. Tubereuloeis can be conqoend. It can, with proper medical attention end protective legislation, be controlled and aiiminated. To do this will require, not -the in dividual action of a faw of onr people, but the corporate action of this community, I believe that tha health of our people ia a para mount obligation and that regardless of what may be the east .attached to the adequate handling of this situation, our people will heartily tndorse any action that may be token by our con stituted authorities to this end. I do 'not, in this case, subscribe to the old aayinr, “Where ignorance is a bibs, ’tit folly to be wise." As a people we have been unaware of this tubercular sit uation, end in our ignorance of facts we have gone on from year to year with a definite menace growing and spreading in our midst. Now that we can know the facta, now that we have here t most capable trained nuree who ia devoting her energies to find ing out the true situation and endeavoring to correct the trouble, is it not time that the people of Clarke County think seriously on these matters and try to arrive at a wise end practical solution? Wb have too much at stake to overlook a situation of this sort. The state eanitorinm at Alto for the treatment of tubercu lar cases is now over-crowded, with a large list of people waiting for admission. We can not, end shonid not, took solely to the state to assume our burdens. We are as a corporate body, amply able to make local provision for these cases, and I believe that tha time has come when we should consider the advisability of imme diately providing here in Clarke County a sanitarium where these cases can bo treated and our community relieved from, the con stant menace that faces us.
