UNION RECORDER, MILLEDGEVILLE, GA., SEPTEMBER 20, 1928 I i 11 i I'lnl ||| | HI GEORGIA LOSES SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS Federal Law Repealed. With the closing of the fiscal year Georgia will lose the aid given us for the pant five yearn Irom the tadcral fund* known as the Sheppard-Towucr fund for aid to maternity and infancy. Georgia has been using tnls fund since It became aval'able in the Division of Child Hygiene. After being matched It amounts in round numbers to sixty thousand dollars annually. The State has never appropriated more than five thousand dollars for this purpose. The remainder of the twenty odd thousand has been secured from various sources. A large per cent of the money has been spent In education along many lines. The work has been done largely through local organizations. At present there are on the pay roll of the Georgia State Hoard of Health twenty-two nurses, many of whom have been permanent ly in the counties for several years. There are six nurses and one physi cian who travel from county to county, spending from two to four weeks In a county. Before winter comes the Healthmoblle will have been la every county In Georgia since It was pre sented to the State Hoard of Health by the Phi Mu Sorority. This unit has always been most popular, and bus done untold good. It la a doctor* office on wheels, as well as a moving educational unit. The dally routine is to hold clinks at 2:00 p. m. and put on health pictures at dusk. This ,1s done for both while und black. Hun dreds of people have for tho first time seen a movie that wus put on by thi* uniL Thousands of babies have been given a complete physical examina tion and proper advice has been given the purents. ^lany conferences have been held and thousands of our dtl- xenB told about the prevention of dis eases. One truck has been coxdplot- ly worn out, but our Good Samaritan, the Phi Mu. bought a new one. The new one has been overhauled and 1* bow badly worn. The Shc-ppard-Towner fund ho* been used to manufacture tho solution of silver nitrate for babies' eyes to prevent blindness. Some thirty thou sand umpoules have been znanntac- tured and distributed annually. All midwifo Instruction has been carried on by this money; almost five thou sand midwives have been givon In struction. About fifteen hundred have been compelled to discontinue practico because they were absolutely unfit. This work Is done under a resolution adopted by_ the State Med'cal .£yso- When It Is remembered that about twenty-two thousand babies are annually attended by midwives, the importance of this work can be visu alized. especialy when It, !■ coupled with the fart that Georgia stands next to the bottom of all the states lu the deaths of mothers In childbed. In round numbers two mothers die In Georgia every day that their babies may be born This loss of life at this particular time is appalling and com mands the absolute attention of every student of the conservation of human life. Murh has been done, but much remains to be done. The conditions ns they exist in our state should enlist the aid of «Tery loyal citizen of Georgia. The thing that Is worrying the State Board of Health and all health workers is what they are going to do after June 30th. What Is Georgia going to do? The funds are all withdrawn with the ex ception of five thousand, and even this small amount depends upon the con struction of the slate law tanking the appropriation; It may not be availa ble. H Is not conceivable that we are to discontinue our aid to mothers and babies; we must take care of them; they deserve all and more than we can ever do for them. It seems that now is a very good time for us to consider this question at home with our com ing legislators and senators. If Geor gia is not to slip back, funds muBt bo found and an ndequato appropriation made for tho continuance of this branch of tho Stato Board of Health. Every county in our state should re ceive tho benefit of this work, espe cially our county, Bbould have a nurso full time f«r the future; no better re turns on Investment could be made. J. E.
