The board of health recommended
the establishment of a clinic in New
berry for the treatment of the eye
disease which has been prevalent
among the school children of the
town and in many of the rural dis
tricts, and the council adopted the
recommendation afd decided to es-
tablish the clinic, and the mayor and
the chairman of the board of health
were authorized to take such steps as
may be necessary for the establish
ment of the clinic. Chairman Glider
had conference with Chairman
Hayne of the state board of health
and he said that the State board was
very anxious to determine just what
the disease is. DIR. Hayne said that
some years ago, so DR.. Glider stated,
that there was a difference of opinion
as to whether a certain disease was
small pox or chicken poX and as a
result of the argument over the dis
ease there appeared in the state some
1900 cases of small pox, and it cost
the state lot of money and the
people lot of deaths before the dis
ease could be gotten under control
and in this matter he wanted it set
tied. He will have to come here for
a conference Dr.. Jervey of Green.
vile, Drs. Kibler - and Whaley OF
Columbia and DR.. Parker of Char
lesion and let them decide just what
this eve trouble is. In the meantime
the clinic will be here to treat such
cases as the parents may desire the
doctor in charge to treat. DR.. Good
win will be in charge of the clinic
and he is anxious to have this con-
ference of specialists and if they de-
eide that he is wrong as to his dag
nosis he will bow to their judgment:
In other words it is desired by all
parties concerned to decide what the
disease is so that the children may
not be kept unnecessarily from
school, and if the disease is trachoma
they may have the proper treatment
and save them possible loss or injury
of eyes. 1t is expected that the
clinic will be established in a few
days.
DR.. Glider said he had received a
telegram from Mr.. J. Y. Jones who
had taken his child and another child
to Atlanta and he consulted DR..
Calhoun an eye specialist. These two
cases had been pronounced trachoma
by Dr.. Goodwin and DR.. Calhoun said,
so the telegram stated, that the cases
we're trachoma according to his
opinion.
Several other matters were discuss
ed and the new council starts out
with the spirit to do something worth
while. Some street paving was talked
of even before we get any money
from bonds for the purpose, and we
are expecting to have the council
wake up the old town and put it to
work in the right direction and move
forward with other communities OF
similar size.
