GEORGIA, DEC. 27, 1929. ANOTHKK YEAR Once aguit. the clock ot made the circuit of a year starts anew. One looks back the period-of monttts to review what has been accomplished. Have 1 fn ule any progress ?llave 1 contributed anything? Or have l been content only to exist from da> to day, satisfying myself with jin thought that tomorrow I will begin? Are the world anil any feth-w be¬ ings better ofl tor my* btivvng lived, or am 1 just a bit ol pns-ive llot sum, content to be borne on Jitc's stream w it bout a rare lot my td tdilute destination? I'lie-e are. disturbing thoughts tiiove who are secretly aware that the your has been wasted; to thiee who are denied tlie satisfaction t snowing that the year has not bee entirely in vnin Hastily the nev seat's resofutioni ate made tha not another of the rapidly passing vein- shall end without a dclirdti attainment. Thus tneritoriott r soltrsions are formed and a new page turned Well and good, if tlie resolution are lived up lo, the new page used But, too often, it i- the xase tha with the passage of time and tin easing of the conscience, the de' termimifions ate forgotten, the Hess page lett as blank as its prede¬ cessor. changed from its newness into a duplicate of the old. a 1 nloss the resolutions are „ limunttly renewed, a start ;uul bit ot progress made each day to¬ wards the resolved attainment, then, without realization, another rear will have passed and the grel over the wasted period re newed. Do not let good r etui with llie resolutions, but choente a goal, make a start unci keep tail pushing. The going mat be Mow, but the destination is cer¬ tain if the stride is always in one direction.

I Free Post Graduate The state Board i>f ITeuHhda happy to announce that tie-finite arrange¬ ments have been made for the re¬ sumption of tlie post-graduate school for physicians in practical obstetrics, four schools having been held last summer. They will conduct a school every other week from December 2 to June 30. These schools will be held by Dr. J. U. McCord. Professor of Obstetrics of Ktnory University. ■ They are made possible to our physicians by the De¬ partment of fxhor, Children's Bureau of Washington, Miss (Irac Abbott be¬ ing chief of the Division. MlsS Abbott is very much interested in the welfare of women and children, and especially is she anxious to see a much-needed 1 reduction in the.death rate, of mater-' nfty in Georgia, wo having next to the highest rate of any state in our union. The first school to he held will “come to hooka" at tlie good city of Gaines¬ ville. the live county medical society having extended a most cordial invi¬ tation to Doctor McCord. This fclioo! will have its first ee-sion at. three o'clock eastern time December U. ami will continue for five days. We hope that every doctor within driving dift Ihiicc of Gainesville will be on hand ami attend every session of 1ln> five days. The Stale Board of Tienllli dons not believe that there will be a doc¬ tor who will miss 'his wonderful op¬ portunity, this* instruction being given without charge. The series of lectures and Iho many moving pictures will he arranged so that ouch day will ho given to a cer¬ tain ftuh.ie.id. The leading olrdetriclaim of America have contributed pictures from their clinics; each wilt be worth a full day. Tlie second school will be held a*. Canton, Dueouibor lti, and a third at Nowuuu December 30. Other Uatim will be announced later. Child Hygiene Work Cut. Should Be Continued We are Indeed sorry to read the an Boimcement that rnn- Slat# Board of Healtli will not be able to coutiime its program ast fully as if. has in (be jiast few years, owing ro (lie fact that Cur legislature did nyt provide sufficient funds. It will be recalled Unit tins paper fold hi its pidnnins last spring about. Iho withdrawn! of federni fluids, owing to Iho repeal of the Shepoaid Towner L'V. Under this law Georgia lifts liegjj expending about $ii0,000 an¬ nually. The legislature was requested to nialce appropriation to lake* the place of thin fund, but they did not see (it to do so. 'The total appropria¬ tion for the entire work f>C the hoard was increased only forty thousand dol¬ lars, gnd this fund will be divided bj the diUcterit departments, so Ultle will be available for mat" 'Uty and child hygiene work. We are Indeed m that this Is so as it has always pppe red to us tjinl most, of our funds should be spent fo the IwUeruienf of «uv mothers an? babies. Another bill ln*> been Introduced I: the new congress Appropriating a mil lion dollars toy work among the state; along the same Hues ns the Sheppard Toivner law. end we are told that, it has n chance i<> become a law.

Murphy, representing the city.and cou/ity boards of health, and Mr. L. At, Olarkson, representing the State Board of Health, discunscc. tlie needs of intensive malaria control for both the city and the county. A thor¬ ough investigation was made of the county by the State Board of Health representative previous to the meet¬ ing. A plan was recommended where¬ by a combination of drainage and mosquito lurViicida! application would be most effective. The county com¬ missioners premised co-operation and a county wide, campaign is expected to be under way iu a'short "Me. The State Board of Health promised to serve in a consulting and advisory ca¬ pacity, outlining a complete drainage system, and assistance with larvaei dal control. Richmond Bounty is the second county in tha State to under¬ take such a program for county- wide malaria control. THE WAR IS ON Successful Results Are Expected. Malaria is om> of the most qevious 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 87The problem of Us erad¬ ication is receiving the most careful consideration of our State Board of Health. The battle against the mos qnito that causes malaria is confined to about thirty -five counties out i)f a total of 161. However, the fight moat be State wide for two reasons: First. Uie deaths from malaria affect the en tiro State in m far as locating ue'w industries and inducing new- 6j! irons to locate, in Georgia is concerned. The entire State must suffer the stigma of befog malaria -infested. Iu 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 in impossible foi them to have initiative, energy or money to carry on. There is no deti imc.M to prog:*- ss that rr-.-is uvea up to this disease. The State Board of Health is holding a series of nines meetings to edneale the people and to organise them in the fight. We are delighted to have also in our State co-operating with them the t'uited States Public Health Serv 'Ice and tt e Rockefeller Fouudntiou. A | number of counties have already cunt 1 f lo work, others will fall in. Uue- The Stale Board of Health ia badly haudi ■capped on account of-pot. having funds lo assist the weaker counties, the en¬ tire appropriation being only three and one. half oe.n-‘s per capita for the entire health program. One county in, rhe KUtle has set aside for- each, Individual $1.00 in round figures of i-t-s own fund* to control this diseases. It- is very evident that our State Board of Health should have ’* decided, increase- in its appropriation that it may- subsidize Gits and Other he* 'tn work in the weaker, counties of the State. EREE BULLETINS Our State Hoard o.(- rK-alth has for free disfributiou pamphlets on various subjects. \V>. wish to call your at tention, to the ones on— Sanitation; Prenatal rare; lfa-by Rook; U'hffd MaKhgejnent; Man Bower; Keeping Fit—fW boys; Healthy Happy Womanhood; The- Wonderful Story of Lite— for parents. Tiffs is a partial list and our read¬ ers should only order the ones that Will he of service to them. Every family should receive the monthly publication, “Georgia’s Health.” it iy also sent free for the asking. Georgia's health laws rein, high hr comparison with health faw^-wf other states. Each county fbwuiu fake- ad vantage of this law h> its fullest ex¬ tent. We find, v«- examination of this law that each, vouaty in our. state can btivf -j, i,ult thne health commissioner y,i viTh e: -if they desire, or that two nr rim e counties can unite to form a dis¬ trict.' There is nothing that pays tike organized health work. Many dollars come back for each on* divested.

[PEICE *1.50 A Y E,\ It IK ADVANCE REGISTER BIRTHS AND DEATHS FREE Importance of the registration of births and deaths in the State In stressed by J)r. T F. Abercrombie. State health commissioner and State registrar of vital statistics. m he ad¬ vantages tn be gained in later life by registration of a child aro manifold, according to Dr. Abercrombie. They insure ihe legal rights of a child, or the man when he lias growa to that estate, especially IB question when the age ot the person plays au important part. Registration of a child’s birth costs nothing—the bill is paid by the coun ¬ ty, To make registration easy, ths bureau of vital statistics of the Statu Hoard of Health has named a local registrar In each militia district ot the State, width makes it a comparative¬ ly easy matter to attend to this most important function. Dr. Abercrombie urges all parents immediately after their child is born to inquire of the physician or midwife attending it the certificate, has beon filed with the local registrar. The law imposes the duty on these attendants. If the certificate has not been filed, or if (here was no medical attendance, the parents may,file. It themselves, with, the assistance of the local reg¬ istrar. in rase tlie parent does not know the name of the registrar of hi* dis¬ trict, he may easily ascertain it by inquiring of Uie ordinary ot his coun¬ ty or writing to the bureau of vital sta¬ tistics of the State Board of Health iu Atlanta. Be sure to give the number ot' the district, ' When h person dies,'it 1* necessary for the undertaker or person in. charge of funeral arrangements to file a death certificate immediately with the local registrar slid obtain a penult to bury the body or to remove it from the mi¬ litia district ia Which tlie death oc¬ curred, There is no clyu'ge fdr this wervice, Rr.

Goiter In the Southeast The question of goiter is one that should be of interest to everyone.* While it. is not. a problem In Georgia or our Immediate neighborhood, on the contrary it is quire a problem iu many states. It has been contended by some of mu* authorities Glut enlargement of the viand is brought about by h de ticiency ot iodine In ihe water or food. 'J’htH theory seems now to t>« the accepted one. and a stud}’* of the iodine content of ihe drinking water or vegetables that are consumed should be made, it is no doubt advisable for the individual to provide the needs of his body with iodine, and such sections as have, plenty of it In the water and vegetables seem to suffer less from llie enlargement of the glands. Tho only reliable source of the real prevalence of goiter rimt we know of: is tlie report ot the War Department on the draft of the men of the world war This report is predicated on a basis of 1.000 men. and for simple goiter is: Florida ............... ...0.25 .-Georgia ............. ...0.52 Alabama ......... ...0.56 South Carolina . ...0.04 North Carolina . 1.81 Tennessee ....... 1.90 This gives Georgia and our eoutigu-. ous mutes a very low* rate. On the other hand ive find that Ihe six state# given the highest rules are: Idaho . 7*.' 26.nl Oregon ...26.61 Washington ...2T-IU Montana ... ...21.00 Utah ....................._............I3.T2 Wyoming.......................15.37 The State Board of Health would like 10 know more about the preva¬ lence of this disease as to the sections of om* States that have the most or least of the trouble. Does the sea coast imve teas? Is there less in the mountains? Is it gcnerallv distributed! or is it confined to a few counties?
