A COUNTY HEALTH UNIT
FOR DICKINSON COUNTY

At the last meeting Of the
county board Of supervisors Dr.
John Campbell field agent of the
Virginia State Board Of Health
addressed them relative to the
forming Of a county health unit
in Dickinson County.
Many counties in the state
have such units and more are
being formed each year. Our
neighbor Wise County has and
has had such a unit for several
years and the benfits that are
derived from it are evidenced by
health conditions there. Buc-
hanan County has at present a
public health nurse and is con-
remplatfng the formation of a
complete unit. Is Dickinson.
County to lag behind?
A health unit consists of full
time physician, whose duties are
annual inspection Of all school
children with recommendations
to tha parents as to the correc-
ton Of any defects, before they
incapacitate the child. This in
itself is a great service and
means the saving of the lives of
many and the prevention of in
validism in many more. This is
not the only duty of such an
officer as his work also includes
vaccination for smallpox, typhoid
fever and diptheria, the proven
ton and control of contagious
diseases and other measures for
the health and welfare of the
community. In addition, to the
physician, full time visiting
nurse and sanitary officers make
up the unit.
Local school officials state that
there has been an enormous loss
of time during this session be-
cause of disease that could have
easily been prevented, such as
Smallpox, Measles, Mumps, Scar
let fever and others. This loss
of time in the schools of The
teachers and of the pupils has
caused a moneY{oss to the school
board of between $4,000 and
/
$3O00.00. Such loss will pay
the countys share of the up-keep
of health unit.
The total cost of maintaining
health unit is 100000 a year.
Of this the State contributes
$45, 10000 or half the total cost.
From other sources there will be
81, 10000 leaving a balance Of
only 100000 to be given by the
County for this work. This is a
small percentage Of the total
cost and should be easily raised.
Will all you people who are in
terested in the health and well
fare of your county and your
children urge the members of
the county board of supervisors
! to give this matter careful con-

OFFICES OF WAKENVA COAL
co. AT TRAMMEL ROBBED.
LATE LAST SUNDAY NIGHT.
BETWEEN One and TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS IN Cash
AND A NUMBER OF CHECKS WAS AMONG LOOT TAKEN
ENTRANCE WAS GAINED BY PASS KEY NO CLUE WAS LEFT

Dante, Va, Feb. 10 (SpeciaD
= The cashiers: office of the
Wakenva Coal Co., at Trammel,
Va, thre miles up the Clinch-
field Rail- from Dante, was
robbed of between one and two
thousand dollars in cash and a
number of checks by parties as
yet unknown, late Sunday night
or early Monday morning. In
Guided in this amount was sum
of money belonging to the pest
office at Trammel, which office
lis conducted in conjunction with
the.office of the coal company.
Entrance into the office was
presumably gained by pass key
while the huge safe was opened
by removing the dial. For a
while it was thought that the
safe had. been opened by the
combination, but a local banker,
called in to assist in the check
UP, discovered that the combina-
ton dial had been cleverly re-
moved andsthen replaced, thus
deceiving the casual observer.
Mr.. VT. Germany, cashier at
1.-The Irammel operation, stated
Monday that it was difficult to
determine the actual loss because
the books of the company had
not been balanced for two or
three days prior to the robbery
Several hundred dollars worth of
postage stamps were left undis-
turbed by the burglars.
That the robbery was the work
of an experienced criminal, or
criminals, and one evidently
familiar with the arrangement
of the office building, is the con-
sensus of local opinion.
County and federal authorities
have been advised of the theft,
but inasmuch as no clews were
left by the burglars, they are
considerably handicapped in their
efforts to bring the guilty per-
sons to justice.
