CONFERENCE TO
DISCUSS HEALTH
MEASURE HELD
To Meet At Residence Of Health
Officer, Corner Of Clarke
Ave. And Laurel st.
THE PUBLIC CORDIALLY
INVITED TO BE PRESENT

This Staff Conference is the second
of a series open to all persons inter-
ested in the public health of Worces-
ter County. You are cordially invited
Any persons not now receiving these
announcements may be placed on the
mailing list by notifying the office
of the County Health Department.
The conference will be held at the
residence of the health officer, corner
Clarke Avenue and Laurel Street, this
city, today (Friday), January %, at
4 p. M.
The serum treatment of pneumonia
is a most important and timely sub
ject. In the nation as whole, pneu-
monia is the third leading cause of
death. In Worcester County, however,
pneumonia is the fifth place among
the causes of death, and among germ
diseases is exceeded only by tubercu-
losis.
Next to syphilis control, pneumonia
control is the newest of public health
measures and is commanding great
attention. The disease is dramatic
and so is the cure. The story of pneu-
monia serum is one of the more col
orful in the history of medicine.
Recent developments have made a
new law: Pneumonia is a medical
emergency, just as appendicitis is a
surgical emergency. When the dis
ease is first suspected, doctor should
be called at once, the sputum examin-
ed in a laboratory, following which
appropriation serum should be admin
istered without delay. The justifica-
ton of this law will be discussed a
mong the following topics: Worcester
County figures on pneumonia; prevail
ence of various types of pneumonia;
the Neufeld Method of tipping pneu-
monia germs; when should serum be
used and when should it not be used;
who can be saved by pneumonia SER
UNI; how many people in Worcester
County can be saved and how much
it will cost to save them.

FARMERS BACK
THE PLAN FOR
BEETLE KILLING
Beetle RetardatiOn Work Under
taken By The University
OF Maryland
SCOURGE is WORST PEST
TROUBLING FARMERS

Maryland farm organizations at
their meetings in Baltimore placed
themselves squarely back of the Japa-
nese beetle retardation work of the
University of Maryland, according to
DIR. George S. Langford, who is in
charge of operations. The Farm Blu
reau went on record in q resolution
which stated: "Inasmuch as we were
successful in obtaining a state ap-
preparation for control of the Japa-
nese beetle, we recommend full CO.
operation of the counties in this con-
troll program, even to the extent of
county appropriations to augment
those of the State"
The State Horticultural Society and
the Vegetable Growers Association
also passed resolutions favoring the
campaign for retarding spread of the
Japanese beetle. The State Grange
passed similar resolutions at it's an
nual meeting in December.
DR.. Langford states that the pro-
gram for Japanese beetle retardation
work in Maryland calls for coopera-
ton between the State, Federal Gov
eminent, and local people. In heavily
infested areas, he says, large scale
demonstrations are to be made to show
methods and means of controlling the
beetle. In lightly infested areas, re-
tardation work is to be done to pre-
fent the beetle from building up into
heavy infestation. Every effort will
be made, he says, to keep free terri
tory free from the beetle.
In the opinion of DR.. Langford, the
Japanese beetle will be the worst pest
with which the farmers of Maryland
have ever had to deal. It Injuries and
destroys more than 200 different
plants, he states.
