Presidents Birthday To
Be Observed All Over
United States

From Maine to California and a
cross the Pacific to the Philippines,
millions Of Americans prepared this
week to launch the about offensive
of the 1941 Fight I~nfantile Para
iysis" campaign.
Keith Morgan, National Chairman
of the Committee for the Celebra-
ton of the Presidents Birthday, de-
clared that the first half of the
campaign had brought forth a nat
ional response unequaled in any pre-
vious drives against the Gripping in
| vader.
Following the example of Cover.
nor Herbert H. Lehman of New
York, the governors of many states
have issued proclamations calling uy-
on their citizens to give their whole
hearted support to the drive, Mr..
Morgan said. Across America, the
March of Dimes, the "Mile-O-
Dimes, Home Parties" and sports
events were rolling in hundreds Of
thousands of dollars with which to
buy health and happiness for vic
tins of the disease and to attack the
virus in laboratories.
The town of Maud. Oklahoma. be-
came the first community in the
country to complete its quota. In
fact its war chest was filled when
the campaign opened, on January
Ii. Closely following were the coun-
ties of Conway and Clevure, Ark
ansas.
The Sports Events Council, head
ed by Grantland Rice, and the Sports
Events Committee, with Former
Postmaster General James A. Farley
as chairman, informed Mr.. Morgan
that $50 benefit contests and ex-
hibition matches will have taken
place before the campaign closes
on January 80, President Roosevelt's
59th birthday.
The enthusiastic "Mile-O-Dimes"
drive directed by George Allen, for
mer Commissioner of the District of
Columbia, gained momentum through
out the nation last week as city af-
ter city, aimed at the goal of a.
least enough dimes to stretch a mile.
Mr.. Morgan discovered that the
number of dimes per mile is ex-
actly 89,872.34.

supported by Eddie Cantor's "Marca
of Dimes of the Air" continued to
roll in unprecedented contributions,

Narrative Report OF
Holmes County
Health Dept.

ISL cases of influenza were re-
ported in Holmes County during the
month of December. As was forecast
to you by your Director, we are now
experiencing the worst epidemic of
influenza since 1918. The general
public has been educated as to the
dangers of this disease through the
fine cooperation of our papers in
the county. Even though there are
a good many cases during this cpl
demic the death rate is rather low
for this disease. The health condi-
tions in Holmes County are other
wise good.
AS has been customary the school
children of Holmes County were
examined during November and
December. SIT children were x
amined. The number of defects have
not been tabulated but one thing
has been very noticeable and that is
the fewer number of children carry
ing defects over from year to year.
A good many children heretofore
have been found with very badly
diseased tonsils years after year.
but we find now that people are
realizing the dangers from diseased
tonsils and are seeing that they re-
ceive proper care. We find many
children have defective teeth. At
ter talking the matter over with the
Ia,,t,r% hare ia fha ont1nfy n has
been urged that at least the back
temporary tooth be as carefully pre-
served as possible because this
tooth acts as the aligning tooth for
the first permanent tooth of the
mouth, the six year molar, and from
the information / gathered from
the dentists the six year molar acts
as a key stone for the alignment for
all the other permanent teeth.
The nutritional condition of the
children of the county is better this
year than last. In those schools hav-
ing a lunch room efforts are being
made to see that all children 10
per cent underweight are being fut-
nished with fresh, hot lunches.
The personnel of the Holmes
County Health Department attended
the state. Public Health Association
on December II, IL land Is. Much
benefit was received from these
meeting as we had some very worth
while speakers.
During December arrangements
we're made for a tuberculosis clinic
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1941-01-23

10 be held in the Health Department
here in Lexington. The regular prac-
ticing physicians of the county have
cooperated in a fine way IN helping
as to locate and get the patients
in for examinations and X-rays. Or
course we could not take every sus-
picious case but those thought most
probably had tuberculosis were in
vited to the clinic.
Three clinics are in operation for
the treatment of veneral diseases, and
we are glad to report that the atten-
dance in these clinics showed an in
crease during December. Plans have
been made and all arrangements
completed for the opening of a clinic
in Tchula. In this clinic, we plan to
take about 80 or 40 new patients
each Monday morning. We cannot
take more than this because we are
planning on examining and classify
ing each patient before we begin any
treatment. Those that are examined
and classified one Monday will be-
gin treatment next Monday. In gem
eral we will notify each plantation
owner or manager at the time when
we can take the patients from each
plantation. The plantation owner or
managers have been notified of their
cases in the vicinity of Tchula. We
hope to open a clinic in Durant as
soon as arrangements can be made
with the Board of Alderman in that
city for a suitable meeting place.
These clinics in general are operated
by local physicians with the Director
aiding in establishing the clinic.
/ A three day Crippled Children's
Clinic was scheduled in December
for January. More definite details
of this clinic will be given in the
January report.

mary of some of the activities of the

Chm. Of Social Work

A total of 1894 Mississippians died
with cancer during the past year,
according to DR.. D. V. Galloway,
chairman of the program committee
of the State Conference of Social
Work, who states that it will be onc
of he main problems discussed when
the 18th annual conference is held
April "a.
"The staggering tragedy of lancer
in Mississippi can well be appreciated
by every thoughtful citizen" DR..
Galloway said. "We see about us ev-
cry day the orphans it causes, the
homes it disrupts and improverishes
by the lingering illness found after
it is too late"
More than half the victims of the
dreaded disease could have been say
ed by cary diagnosis and prompt,
early treatment by x-rays. radium or
surgery, used individually or in
combination, the physician said.
Cancer now ranks next to heart
disease as the leading cause of
death.
The following facts were released
concerning the malady: cancer of
the breast is being cured in rs per
cent of the cases in early stages, in
only 20 per cent of advanced cases;
cancer of the mouth is being cured
in 80 per cent of early diagnosis,
20 per cent in late;' cancer of the
skin is cured in 95 per cent of early
cases, 80 per cent in late diagnosis;
while cancer of the womb is cured
in 80 per cent of early diagnosis,
and only 10 per cent in late dia-
gnosis.
Onerof the greatest weapons in
the fight against cancer was seen
to be knowledge.
"People must know the early
signs of anc in order to obtain
early diagnosis" he declared. They
must know that delay is dangerous
and that the practice of quackery
agains. cancer is diabolical."
