BALTIMORE, July 19.-Plans for
extending school deafness preven-
ton program throughout Maryland
were projected today by the State
Health Department, which also said

and county health authorities on the
experimental project in Washington
County, reported 1t was possible
that 80 to 30 per cent Of school chill

five or six years "a very high per.
centage Of all children in Washing.
ton County suffering from early
hearing impairment, ear infection,
or nose and throat diseases predis.
posing to such difficulties will have
been seen at the clinic at a time
when therapy is relatively simpl.
and extremely effective.
IT such time arrives 1t may vel
be that within a generation or two
the percentage of adult sufferins
from hearing impairments or sever.
chronic ear, nose or throat disease
will be materially reduced"
The program was started fol
