The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1940-12-12
Narrative Report of
Holmes County Health
Department

Several times during the year we
have had people to develop a dis
sase for which we have definite pro-
lection by vaccination. Many people
that do not routinely become i'm
nupized against the diseases diph-
liberia, smallpox, and typhoid fever
become very anxious to have all the
protection possible when they have .
case to develop in their home or
nearby. 1t seems that many people
continue to have the impression that
IN immunization is effective from
the moment given. Therefore, they
feel that there is no need to take
lamentations until a ease of one
Of these diseases is at their very
door. They seem to forget that there
may be carriers Of these diseases and
many people do not seem to realize
that it takes time for vaccination to
protect just as it takes time to have
q disease. We have had four cases
Of d%iphtheria in the County during
the past month. These people had
not only been offered lamentations
but had been urged that all children
should be protected against this very
dangerous disease. If it had not been
for the very diligent work of one of
our physicians, l feel quite certain
one of these cases would have died,
but by the use of antitoxin and

tracheotomy the child is now getting
along fine.
312 school children were examined
during November. The general
health condition Of the children is
better this year than last. 1t seems
that parents realize more than ever
that it is necessary for a child to be
healthy and in good physical condi-
ton for them to do good school
work. This is Indicated by the fact
that fewer children are showing the
same defects from year to year.
The nutritional state Of the children
is improving. This is particularly true
in the schools where there is a lunch
room. We believe that practically all
the children that are over 10 per
cent underweight are getting fresh
lunches either at home or in the
lunch rooms. This year all the chill
dren in the grammar grades were
weighted and their per cent of
weight determined for each child. A
copy of this report was given to each
school. We are urging that every
child 10 per cent and over under
weight be furnished with lunches in
the lunch room. One thing very no
ticeable in the determination of these
weights was the fact that a good
many children from the families
where they can and do have prac-
tically everything they want in the
way of something to eat were under
weight. We find that in practically
every instance these children are be-
ing allowed to eat any food they may
wish at any time they wish to eat.
In general the best nourished chill
dren are from the families where an
adequate amount Of wholesome foods
are provided at meat time and at
meal time only.
Tuberculosis Control
We are all very interested in the
tragedy across the seas, but we con-
tinue to have a tragedy in u very
midst. AS is indicated by the fact
that we have four new cases report
ed this month. Many people continue
to take this disease very lightly I'M
til it comes within the confines Of
their own home. We have 81 known
cases of tuberculosis in our county,
and we know there are many moro
cases than this.
We have been very interested in
our presidential election and we are
following every move that is being
made for our National Defense, but
/ believe that we are prone to over
look the fact that since our pre-
sidential election four years ago that
more people have died Of tubercu-
losis in the United States than were
lost in all the wars since the Declare
tion Of independence. The number
of cases and the number Of deaths
are being decreased, but if we are
to win this fight and reach that day
when there will be no such thing as
tuberculosis, we must keep up the
fight. No one may win a war on
the battle field, but everyone wins
when we stamp out tuberculosis.
The tuberculosis Association in
this County is doing a wonderful
work and is very largely through
their aid that we are able to find

Crippled Children Service
Several months ago your Director
was walking along the streets of Lex
ington. He met a girl that was SO
bow-legged from the effects of rick
cts that she could hardly walk. He
asked her name, how old she was,
and asked also if she would like to
have her leg Strengthened so she
could walk. She stated that she
would think about it. After talking
it over with her parents, they came
to the Health Department with the
girl. They had decided that they
were willing for the corrections to be
made. The Crippled Children Service
was contacted and provisions for an
operation were made. The operation
was one. Her legs are now straight
and she walks with crutches. Even
though she has suffered pain and
confinement to some degree, / be-
lieve that she will spend as happier
Christmas as any person in Holmes
County because she a walk again.
We have seen a good many such
cases during this year and to us one
of the greatest pleasures of Public
Health Work is to have a part in
seeing these cripples, which is many
instances have been a burden to a
family, healthy, helping individuals.
Surely, in the Democracy we should
all do our part in seeing that every
individual has the best health pos
sible. For health is a prerequisite in
the pursuit of happiness.

PANAMA CANAL TO
 BE WELL DEFENDED
Critical Defense Area" to Be Created With Radius
 of l,5O0 Miles
BY MACK JOHNSON United Press Staff COrrespondent)

| NOAAtCu T 1CSS 0tdA OVIICSpO11UCltD
 Washington, Sept. = (UP0 = The United States sought today to establish critical defense area" with a radius of 1,500 miles around the Panama Canal.
 Experts said that successful com- pletion of negotiations for island bases on the Pacific saide of the canal and construction of the eight new Atlantic bases on sites leased from Great Britain would make such an area reality.
 Secretary of Navy Frank Knox re- vealed in San Francisco that this country is seeking to balance its new bases on the Pacific aside of the Pacific-on the Cocos and Galapa- gos Islands. The Cocos Islands be- long to Costa Rica and are about 600 miles northwest of the canal; the Galapagos belong to Ecuador and are about 800 miles southwest of the canal.
 Experts said that acquisition of sites on those islands would expand the defensive frontier of the canal at least another 700 miles into the Pacific.
 Canal Patrol System
 Reliable sources said administra- tion defense plans call for a patrol system of the canal which would give the fixed defenses on the main land information on any approach ing hostile force as soon as it crosses the outer boundary of the defense area-1, 500 miles in any direction from the canal.
 Announcement of the negotiations for the Pacific bases recalled that President Roosevelt visited those is- lands last winter.
 The Cocos Islands appeared then to be chiefly under consideration. The president fished near them for three days while the naval officers made their study.
 Ten army and navy officers arrive at Bermuda today to begin selecting sites for the bases on British terri tory. As the preliminary work be- gan an authoritative source here re- vealed some of the administration plans for those bases.
 Anchors For Defense
 That source said that the bases in Newfoundland, Bermuda and Trin- 1dad would provide the anchors" for the 1,200 mile defense line along the eastern seaboard - Newfound- land to protect approaches to this hemisphere through the North At lantic, Bermuda to do the same in the central region and Trinidad to protect eastern approaches to the Panama Canal.
 Plans for Jamaica, it was said, call for major naval base because of its deep water anchorages and facilities for docking.
 Separate negotiations, already underway between the United States and Canada, look toward imple- menting further the deal with Great Britain. It was considered likely that bases in Canadian territory - possibly away from Halifax and other centers-would be acquired to supplement the Newfoundland base.

Vought- -Sikorsky dive bombers are
