COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
ETHEL SMITH, Public Health Nant
During the month of December,
four colored schools in the county
had the privilege of dental inspec
tion.
Nine white and colored patients
were admitted to the pre-natal cli
nic. The layettes donated to the
health department from the differ
ent churches in Jackson are now be
ing used in five homes.
Twenty patients were admitted to
the venereal disease clinic. The av
erage attendance for treatment was
58 each clinic.
The Knowing immunizations were
completed: Typhoid vaccine 101;
Smallpox vaccinations 70; Toxoid
immunization against diphtheria 12.
A Year of
Accomplishments
The year just ended was a rec
ord year of general telephone
expansion in the South. Mil
lions were spent to expand lo
cal and long distance facilities
and other millions were ex
pended for preparedness proj
ects. At the same time, the
numerous and varied govern
mental and industrial emergency
needs were filled promptly.
Nearly 300,000 new tele
phones were installed and about
180,000 taken out, making a
net gain for the year of more
than 110,000. Sixty-eight new
central offices were built and
put into service. Twelve of these
were new exchanges while fifty
six replaced manually operated
offices with the newest type dial
equipment. Rural sections also
shared liberally in this program.
The gross expenditures for
new construction and replace
ments exceeded $40,000,000.
It was a year of outstanding
accomplishments achieved un
der exceptional conditions. The
thousands of telephone men
and women responsible for this
work are justly proud of the
results. They begin the new year
Confident in their ability to meet
the future telephone require
ments of this fast growing sec
tion of the nation.

During January follow up work is
planned, for those children who
were immunized against diphtheria
in July 1940. The simple and pain
less test will be made to see if the
toxoid was effective. Statistics show
us that one child in every group of
one hundred who are immunized one
child in this group must have the
second immunization before they are
immuned. Asa protective measure

OIL and its products are today
unquestionably the life-blood of
any nation’s defense.
Great Britain is learning at terrible
cost how perilous it is to have to de
pend upon sea lanes for this life-blood.
Fortunately, as a vital part of Amer
ica’s defense structure, a vast net
work of pipe lines already provides for
the flow and storage of these precious
fluids throughout most of the terri
tories within our borders.
Only the Southeast—a strategically
important section though it is—has no
pipe lines as yet.
However, a pipe line is planned to run
from Port St. Joe, Florida, across
Georgia to the Tennessee line. One of
this line’s many functions would be
to serve three great military centers
of the Southeast —Fort Benning, Fort
Oglethorpe, and Fort McPherson, in
addition to other training camps, air
bases and supply centers under con
struction or proposed for Bibb, Clay
ton, DeKalb, Dougherty, Fulton and
Sumter Counties.

Nevertheless, this highly necessary
project is being fought and delayed
by the railroads operating in Georgia
who fear loss of revenue. They alone
oppose this modern, safe and econom
ical method of gasoline and oil trans
portation.
But ... in times like these, the Amer
ican people are not apt to have much
patience with delays in defense meas
ures.
They know that the Southeast needs
this new life-line for national defense.
They know America needs it.
