MAYDAY-CHILD HEALTH DAY TAKE PLACE MAY I May Day-Child Health day celebra tions, focusing attention upon activi ties in the field of child health, will this year again be held in Georgia, the state-wide celebration to take place Wednesday, May 1, according to announcement made Saturday by Dr. T. F. Abercrombie, director of the state department of public health. Diphtheria immunization will again be stressed in the May day observ ances in 1940, the importance of im munization being obvious with a re ported 1,097 cases of diphtheria in Georgia in 1939, of which number 89 babies died, the health director stated. “Today, diphtheria can be definitely prevented by immunization, and medi cal science has discovered ways to fight the disease, once contracted. Not so many years ago, however, 50 per cent, or more of the children who had diphtheria, or what was then called membranous croup, died,” Dr. Aber crombie pointed out. The history of life-saving discov eries in the fight against diphtheria, the health director briefly traces from the operation known as tracheotomy, which, a physician found, made it pos sible to insert a tube into the wind pipe of a dying baby and thus save its life. Intubation, the introduction of a tube through the mouth into the larynx to allow the passage of air, quickly followed. Then the scientists experimented with the diphtheria germ and evolved a cure for the dis ease known as diphtheria antitoxin. Then, the search to find something to prevent diphtheria started and the resulting discovery of alum precipi tated toxoid has definitely made it possible to conquer this disease. During 1939, 51 387 preventive doses of toxoid were administered in Geor gia. This number is not adequate, the health director stated, since there are 65,000 babies born annually in this state. “We must see that all babies are protected against this disease when they are between six months and 1 year of age. Dr. Abercrombie urges every coun ty in Georgia to participate in the observance of the health week, re questing that all counties carry out the ideas of May Day-Child Health day. Anyone interested in plans may write for further information to the Georgia department of public health. WITHTHECHURGHES FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Madison D. Short, Minister.) (T. J. Espy, Jr., S. S.

Feed Inspection Saves Large Sum To Georgia Farmer ATLANTA, March 20 (CNS).- Through strict enforcement of l.\-s [ and regulations governing the sale of | commercial feeds, the quality of these I commodities used in Georgia has been raised to new high standards, records of the department reveal. Last year more than 2.800 brands of feed.—the largest number on rec ord—.were registered with the depart ment. During the same period, the state chemist, who makes analyses of [ feed, food, fertilizer and drug sam ples taken by the department’s inspec tors. checked more than 600 feed sam ples and made approximately three thousand determinations, and it was found that only a comparatively small percentage failed to meet the manu facturer’s guarantee as to nutritive value. There has been a decrease in the tonnage of feeds ordered withheld i from sale or destroyed because of de ficiencies in nutritive value or mis branding. It was pointed out that Georgia no | longer may be regarded as the “dump ing ground” for all sorts of commer cial feeds which are not allowed to be ' sold in other states, Georgia dairy men. stockmen and poultrymen who buy large quantities of feeds, may be assured of the duality of feed indi cated on the analysis tag. And. Geor gia cows, hogs and poultry are enjoy ing a better “diet ” The legitimate feed manufacturers, who found it difficult to meet compe tition of low grade feeds and lax reg ulations, have co-operated with the 1 department of agriculture in raising i the standards in this state.
