Join The March Of Dimes! The March of Dimes—Infant¬ ile Paralysis drive for funds— is with us again. This is the time of year. Jan. 15 to Jan. 31, when the country raises money for the care and treatment of those stricken with infantile paralysis and for the research , education¬ al and epidemic in the fight a- gainst polio- Fifty per cent of the money goes to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, founded in 1938 by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which is dedicated to work until science wipes out this disease as a threat to humani¬ ty- half of the The other money raised goes to the local chap¬ ters for the care and treatment of the polio victims regardless of age, race, creed or color. The Georgia chapter serves 159 coun¬ ties. Equipment for the treat¬ ment is the most costly used in medicine. For example, a res¬ pirator costs from $1300 to $1600 _braces from $40 to $125; a the¬ rapy pool may cost up to $3800— to mention a few. The average, some cases may be less or some a lot more, but the average cost for one case is $1200 00. Dade county already has four cases, listed for 1946, who have received this treatment and care- Imo Blevins, age 16, from Rising Fawn ; Lou A. Lynn, age 7, from Wildwood; Charles Meeks, age 11, from Avans; and Leroy Veal, age 5, from Lookout Mountain. Infantile paralysis patients re¬ quire hospitalization and medi¬ cal care, some for relatively long periods of time. Prolonged af¬ ter care is more expensive than treatment in the acute stage. Through voluntary contributions of the American people, such treatment is assured to all. Mr. Tom Renfroe, in the Geor¬ gia Power office in Trenton, is the chairman for the drive in Dade county.' Give generously.

II is Department Of Public Health By Miss Fannielu McWhorter, Public Health Nurse LETS X-RAY GEORGIA (Excerpts from “Georgia Health’ For November, 1946.) What do we see? The State’s death rate from all causes, 91 per 1000 population, is lower than the national aver¬ age of 11.5. Ten years ago, the health picture was not as en¬ couraging. Then Georgia’s rate was higher than the national rate. We see that deaths from the preventable diseases have been reduced to a minimum. Diph¬ theria, malaria and typhoid fe¬ ver, one-time scourages of all Georgia, accounted for only 124 deaths in 1945. However, there are other measurements of health which shows much im¬ provement yet to be achieved. When we look at the ten lead¬ ing causes of death in Georgia for 1945, we find considerable short-comings, and room for im¬ provement. They were: 5,779 deaths from heart disease- 3,137 deaths from hemorrage of the brain and allied causes. 2,863 deaths from diseased kid¬ neys. 2,441 deaths from cancer. 1,761 deaths from malformation and early infant diseases. 1,990 deaths from accidents- 1,500 deaths from pneumonia. 1,108 deaths from tuberculosis. 485 deaths from homicide. 473 deaths from influenza. Infant deaths and deaths re¬ sulting from pregnancy and child-birth were higher in Geor¬ gia than for the nation in 1945; 3,181 infants under one year suc¬ cumbed, and 250 mothers lost their lives in child-birth. Ma ternal death rates are higher in most rural areas of the state than in urban areas. We see, now that we have ex¬ amined Mr. and Mrs- Average] Georgian, the x-ray report Is not so good. We see that low income is a major eause of poor health In Georgia, as it is a barrier to sic things needed for good health such as: Proper medical care, a balanced diet, and sanitary housing accommodations. We see, finally, .that education is an important factor in health- This, too, is related to the ec¬ onomic lever.
