GOING - GOING
GONE!
Georgia Health Work
Ceases.
On the first day of July, the work
of the Child Hygiene Division of our
State Board of Health will practically
go out of business, due to the fact
that the Federal appropriation under
the Sheppard'Towner Law has ceased
by statute of limitation.
Twenty-three nurses are out of jobs,
as well as other attaches. In round
figures, a maximum of sixty thousand
dollais has been spent annually for
the past seven years. This is co
operative work, fifty per cent being
locally contributed. Every county in
the State has had at least two visits
from the State Board of Health dur
ing the life of this law.
Last year the Heaithmobile Unit ex
amined 1,234 infants, 8,033 school chil
dren in twenty-one counties. In each,
county, a permanent committee on
health is organized. Eleven thousand
nine hundred and eighty-two defects
were found in the 9,267 children ex
amined bv this unit. State nurses or
ganized 378 prenatal conferences, and
the co-operating physicians examined
2,998 expectant mothers. They held
107 conferences attended by 421 ba
bies Seventy expectant mothers were
given instructions. Sis hundred and
fire children attended these confer
ences held ty the nurses and Child
Health Centers were established.
The classes for girls had an enroll
ment of 4,968. Twelve lessons con
stituted the full course. In classes for
mothers, the report shows 1,716 moth
ers enrolled. Two hundred and nine
classes for midwives were organized;
the enrollment was 1,764; the number
completing the course was 821. In
each county visited a permanent mid
wife club was organized.
The nurses under the Child Hygi
ene Division made 24,968 visits to
mothers and babies. Demonstrations
were given to 633 groups of women
that were attended by large numbers
besides 3,205 demonstrations to indi
viduals.
From this statement it is seen that
much educational work has been done
during the last year. It is apparent
from this statement that much good
has been accomplished, and it is very
evident that arrangements should be
made to continue this vital work. Thp
coming session of our General As
sembly should give immediate atten
tion to the needs of our State Board
of Health, and make appropriation to
at least carry on, in a measure, this
most important work. For seven years
we have had outside aid; it is gone.
It is up to us to get fn the breach
and carry on. It is the State’s duty
We should at least provide as an
emergency measure sufficient funds to
District and a supervising nurse work
ing out from the State Board of
Health until we are in a position to
do better. This money should be made
immediately available so that there
will be no break in the work.
THE WAR IS ON
Successful Results Are
Expected.
Malaria is one of the most serious
problems now confronting our State.
This is not a question for debate when
we face the fact that we had an in
crease in deaths from this cause last
year of 87%. The problem of its erad
ication is receiving the most careful
consideration of our State Board of
Health. The battle against the mos
quito that causes malaria is confined
to about thirty-five counties out of a
total of 161. However, the fight must
be State-wide for two reasons: First,
the deaths from malaria affect the en
tire State in so far as locating new
industries and inducing new citizens
to locate in Georgia is concerned. The
entire State must suffer the stigma of
being malaria-infested. In the sec
ond place, many of the counties that
have heavy infestation are not wealthy,
and, in fact, have no funds for putting
on the fight. Where malaria thrives
and people are sick and dying from
chills and fever, it is impossible for
them to have initiative, energy or
money to carry on. There is no
detriment to progress that meas
ures up to this disease. The State
Board of Health is holding a
series of mass meetings to educate the
people and to organize them in the
fight. We are delighted to have also
in our State co-operating with them
the United States Public Health Serv
ice and the Rockefeller Foundation. A
number of counties have already gone
to work, others will fall in line. The
State Board of Health is badly handi
capped on account of not having funds
to assist the weaker counties, the en
tire appropriation being only three and
one-half cents per capita for the entire
health program. One county in the
State has set aside for each individual
$1.00 in round figures of its own funds
to control this disease. It is very
evident that our State Board of Health
should have a decided increase in its
appropriation that it may subsidize
this and other health work in the
weaker counties of the State,
Mr. J. F. Marlowe and Miss
dine Marlowe, of Tucker were
guests of Mr- and Mrs. Virgil Piper.
