Despite Handicaps,
(From Page 1)
pital, very little can be done to
ease the situation here. The
nurse can and does inform fami
lies of home patients the proper
way in which they should be
treated and how to avoid spread
ing the disease among other
members.
From August to December
1948, a period of four months,
261 persons cantacted the nurse
and 60 contacted the doctor with
regard to tuberculosis.
These were either cases, sus
pects or persons who are con
stantly in contact with the dis
ease.
Fifty-seven persons were
X-rayed in the first X-ray clinic
which was held in November,
1948.
Some of thes persons were
contacts, some were found to be
cases and others were suspects.
“Once a person is a case, he
is always a suspect,” emphasized
Miss Pace.
Three of these free clinics
have been held in 1949 with a
total of 178 persons X-rayed.
During the first six months of
' this year there was a total of
1314 field and office visits re
lating to TB.
In 1948, 11 persons were ad
mitted to the Rapid Treatment
Center at Alto for venearal dis
ease, while 10 nave been ad
mitted in 1949. Forty-four per
sons were treated for VD in 1948.
To show the decrease of VD in
this county, Miss Pace declared
that only two showed positive
reactions in a recent clinic at
the two colored schools in Sum
merville.
OTHER PHASES
Although VD and TB have’
been the chief concerns of the
local health department, they
have not been the only concerns
' and much attention is given
such phases as sanitation, im
munization and nutrition.
During the four-month period
■in 1948, 2.782 immunizations
■ were administered. More than
; 180 were immunized against
whooping cough to aid in the
prevention of this killer of our
young children.
Three typhoid cases were dis
covered last year and there are
four known carriers in the
county.
Aid in cancer control was given
to one person last year and to
one person this year.
Five crippled children have
been sent to Aidmore, crippled
children’s Hospital in Atlanta,
through the cooperation of the
health department.
The school hygiene program
is another phase which benefits
the youngsters in the county.
Four hundred inspections were
‘ made last year.
In the year 1948, 9,266 pamph
lets on public health were re
leased in this county, telling
the public something of the
work being done and of the fa
cilities available to them.
Some maternity cases also
look to the health department
for guidance and help. There
are nine registered midwives in
Chattooga County, all of whom
cooperate with the local health
department.
Prospective mothers are in
structed in nutrition both before
and after the birth of the child.
In 1948, eight prospective moth
ers were given aid while seven
I have been aided this year.
SANITARIAN’S WORK
One of the most far-reaching
। and vital phases of the health
| department’s work is that of
sanitarian.
R E. Davis. State Sanitarian,
has been in this county for the
past few weeks cooperating with
the city and county governments
in their efforts to make the cities
and the county itself a safer
and more sanitary place in
which to live. F. W. Rhodes.
Regional Public Health Engi
neer. and Robert W. Turnbull
Regional PH Engineer, also
render direct services to Chat
tooga County.
Mr. Davis has recently com
pleted the grading of eating
establishments in Summerville,
and all have an "A” rating with
the exception of five.
It was pointed out that the
only difference between a grade
"A" and "B” establishment is
the building.
“There is no difference in the
cleanliness of the food and in
it’s preparation and the care of
the utensils in these two rat
ings,” Mr. Davis said. “It's
merely a matter of the "A"
having better floors and a better
: building in general.”
After the ordinance was pass
। ed, the restaurants and similar
businesses will be graded in No
j vember, which will be the end
j of the year given them to fix up.
Mr. Davis said however that
five already have met require
ments and have been given an
"A" rating.
The city made another step
toward proper sanitation when
it recently passed another ordl
t nance calling for all property
owners within 200 feet of the
sewer line to cut in and do away
with outdoor facilities.
Mr Davis has inspected an
area in north Summerville and
*s^^
I Ht bUMMtKVILLt NiEWS
will continue with the rest of
the city at a future date.
“What a lot of people don’t
realize.” declared the sanitarian,
“is that we are prepared to ad
vise them and give them plans
on the correct way to install
septic tanks and to make esti
mates and surveys for them.”
He urged anyone planning to
dig a well, improve a spring, in
stall a septic tank or a pit privy
to contact the health depare
ment and full information will
ge gladly provided.
“It will save you time and
money and you’ll have a much
safer place if you’ll do this,”
Mr. Davis said.
It was pointed out that there
is no ordinance in Summerville
. against a person having live
stock within the citv limits and
that is one of the reasons flies
and other insects are so pre
valent here.
“We can do nothing about this
situation until the city passes
an ordinance making it a nui
sance, at least, for a person to
keep livestock in the city.”
The sanitarian pointed out
that stagnant water will breed
| mosquitoes and if a person must
keep it, he should at least put
; kerosene on the top.
“Mash your tin cans flat so
' they won’t hold water and pro
vide other breeding places,” he
urged.
The health department is a
public service and it urges the
cooperation of the people at all
times in it’s efforts to provide
a healthier and more sanitary
county in which to live.
( Services are free of charge and j
are available to anyone regard- |
less of financial position.
A three-man board governs ।
the local department and is
j composed of the county school I
’ superintendent C. B. Akin; j
county doctor, Dr. H. D. Brown;
and chairman of the Board of
Commissioners, A. W. Justice. ,
The budget is established by I
a tax levy each year and the j
county finances 45 per cent of ।
the funds while the state match
es it with 55 per cent.
The budget varies from year
to year, depending on certain
circumstances, such as the
number of employees. Persons
working for the department
must be highly qualified, being
employed under the Merit Sys
tem.
The department combats dis
ease by education, believing that
“an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.”
For instance, tuberculosis dis
covered in the early stages is
more likely to be cured, as is
most every other disease. Learn
ing the symptoms of TB in its
early stages has doubtlessly
saved the lives of many.
It is the hope of the local
board and all of Chatooga Coun
ty as well, that in the future
funds will be available for the
addition of more nurses and a
doctor. Only by such action can
the necessary and vital work
be accomplished and the activi
ties broadened.
