Education, Please! “BETTER EDUCATION FOR GEOR GIA MOVEMENT" (By Ralph L. Ramsey, Director) Georgia Health For sheer demonstrable value to every citizen, the health services of the state department have no peer. From the na tionally famous "Blood Wagons" that are being used in rural areas to reach unfor tunate negroes and poor whites to the extensive activity against malaria, there is no room for complaint. Down in south Georgia’s Clinch county, for instance, the late Dr. Sessions car ried on a work notable for its self-sac rifice. Night and day, under the direc tion of the state department of health, he labored as county physician against the ravages of typhoid, malaria diprtheria. pellagra and small pox. Os the thousands upon thousands of "shots” that he gave, he took pride in recalling that he had "never lost an arm” . . . meaning by this that his preventive measures did not re sult in the infection that sometimes oc curs when sterilization of instruments is not absolute. School-House Doors Around the school-house doors they w-ould gather, trusting absolutely in the old. patient, efficient and pain-relieving Georgian. More than six feet tall, he had the features that might have been those of a Barrymore. He worked in all kinds of weather and was known to drive thir ty miles to reach a negro turpentine work er whose only complaint was a vague headache. He turned no one down —white or blaek —and took no money. During the last few years of his life, his health broke daily. He was too good a physician not to know that he was soon destined to go the way of all flesh, but he worked until the very end —for the Georgians whom he lived among and loved —-and died in the arms of his brother. There will never be a monument to his memory, because the people he served were among the poorest in the state. One doubts that he needs it. Truly, here was one of na ture's noblemen. Romances and Health. The “Blood Wagons” and self-sacrific ing doctors attract attention, however, only when someone thinks to write about them. Back in the hills and all through the plains of Georgia there must be less stirring dramas being lived which are still important. There are the day-by-day struggles—preventative measures that may embody more manual labor than di agnosis. There are reports to fill out. statistical systems to set up, homes to be cleaned up for the prospective child, and instructions to be given to neighbors who have been mustered in as “nurses”. And because humans are what they are —sus- F. H. A. LOANS 80 Pct. and 00 Pct. You Build—Summerville Grows H4IE REALTY CO. ROME. GEORGIA 81’209 MALARIA Cases reported In the U.S. in 1938! DON’T DELAY!

That it is also a recurring expense there is no denying. But if there were no health department, the money that would be needed to cure physical damage that might otherwise have been prevented would amount to an enormous sum. A New Program. In the near future, the health depart ment of the state will expand its activi ties. The state will be divided into six regional health districts, each district to be in charge of a district health unit, 'composed of a medical director, sanitar ian, public heath nurse, and clerk. All health activities in the unorganized coun ties of under 14.(MN) population which do not now employ a full-time commissioner of health will be supervised by this health unit, acting as direct representa tive in its health districts of the state department of health. In counties with a population of more than 14,000 the department will only give financial aid to establish complete health departments proportionately to the funds available. Or, if such counties em ploy one or more public health nurses, the state department will participate in the organization of maternal and child hygiene and venereal disease clinics. Protection For All. It is expected that this plan will put health service within the reach of every county. Officials and all others interest ed in co-operating in this program are in vited to correspond with the Georgia Department of Public'Health, division of county health work, State Capital, At lanta. Education and Health. The educational method has been ap plied successfully in preventing the on slaught and the more serious effects of disease. In Cleveland, 0., last year the school and the health department co-op erated in an attack on appendicitis. The results were a revelation. After six months of instructing children on how to recognize symptoms, what to do until the doctor came and more particularly what not to do (never take a laxative to cure a pain in the side you may assume to be “indigestion"), it was found that more lives were saved than ever before in the history of the city. A prominent doctor said that the schools had been more effective than all the physicians in THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1939 tists call koroseal, the curtains are not only water and spotproof but are impervious to mildew and will n<y stiffen with age. The water lilies are white with green leaves —a perfect ensemble for a summer bath room. the city combined. This doesn't by any means, mean that the schools can do the job of the doctor. It merely means that there is a connection between education and prevention of had health. If preven tion fails, the doctor is in the next line of defense to effect a cure. THE ANSWERS 1.
