Virginia Associations
Back 13-Point Plan
On tuberculosis

A 13-point program for improved
conditions for the prevention and
treatment of tuberculosis In Vir-
ginia was Endorsed yesterday by
tuberculosis Associations of Alex
andria, Winchester and the counties
Of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun
Clarke and Prince William at a
meeting at Oakton School, near
Fairfax.
The recommendation are embod-
led in 43-page report presented by
the State tuberculosis Association
to the Governors Advisory Legisla-
tive Council. They will be discussed
at community meetings with govern
ing of1cials. health officers and the
general public before they are placed
before the General Assembly early
in 1916.
The State tuberculosis Associa-
ton is asking for a five-year plan
for sanatorium care to be financed
by State funds and recommended by
small group of sanatoria superin-
tendents and architects.
The other points include the ap-
pointment of full time director of
tuberculosis control to the staff
Of the State Health Department:
immediate action to make more free
beds available while deploring the
suggestion that a sanatorium be
established to serve incorrigible and
incurable patients: inclusion of sur
gical facilities in the plans for san
atorium expansion; admission of ad-
vanced cases and readmission of
patients; granting of the full ap-
preparation requested by the State
Health Department as well as funds
needed for increased personnel in
sanatoria and field work; and con-
tinued appropriations to expand the
program OF pneumothorax and to
provide surgery in general hospitals
until surgical facilities are available
in sanatoria.
In the field OF prevention and
education, the proposals list the
use of sanatoria as training centers
In tuberculosis for interns; appro-
priation Of funds for medical social
workers, occupational therapists and
rehabilitation workers; provision for
education in the specialized field of
tuberculosis at medical schools and
sanatoria with emphasis on tie
training OF colored physicians; en-
actment of legislation to require pre-
employment and periodic X-ray ex-
animation of school personnel; leg
islation to require X-ray examina-
ton Of persons on admission to
State mental hospitals and penal in
stitutions and re-X-raying at stated
intervals.
The final point calls for action to
see that Federal funds are not lost
through State failure to appropriate
matching funds.
Association officials say there is
a shortage OF 1000 beds in the State
and ratio of one-half bed per
tuberculosis death compared to the
United States Public Health Service
standard of three beds per death.
placing Virginia near the bottom
OF the list of States in the control
Of the disease.

ton was authorized by the City
Council last night to award to Eu-
gene Simpson & Bro, Alexandria. a
contract to construct the addition
to the George Washington High
School at a cost of $320,326. The
Council also appropriated $500 1926
to finance the cost of the building
and to provide $4,000 for furnish
ings and equipment
Edward Reed, chairman of the
Board of Education, and T. C. Will
liams, superintendent of schools, out
lined for the Council the necessity
for advertising for bids on two occa-
sions. In October, four contractors
bid on the original plans for the
addition, but all bids were rejected
because the bids were thought ex-
cessive.
According to Mr.. Williams, the
major portion of $4,000, estimated
necessary for furnishing and equip
ment, will be used for new cafeteria
equipment, since enlarging cafeteria
facilities will make the present
equipment unusable.

Local Women SerUing On Gift Committee
 Plan Presents Christmas Day for 5000
 Mentally III HOspltaized Patients in Connecticut

50 that all of the nearly 5000 mentally i'll patients in Connecti- cuts three state hospitals may have an opportunity to share in the joy of receiving gifts on Christmas Day, the Connecticut Society for Mental Hygiene is opening its second an- nual campaign to accomplish this aim," 1t was announced today by Mrs. Curtis L. Sheldon, chairman of the Society's 1945 Christmas Gift Campaign.
 Each Year, holiday programs are sponsored for the patients by the three state hospitals which are To- cated at Middletown, Norwich, and Newtown. During this period. spe- cial efforts are also made to en- courage relatives and friends to re- member patients with letters, gifts, and personal visits, 1t was explained by Mrs. Sheldon.
 Many of the patients, however, do not have visitor from one year to the next. At one state hospital, it was revealed that 1,400 patients, nearly 50 per cent of the hospitals population had not been visited by anyone during the past twelve months" Mrs. Sheldon added.
 Speaking for the Connecticut State Hospital at Middletown, which is cooperating with the Connecticut Cociety for Mental Hygiene in it's Christmas campaign, Dr. Edgar C.. Yerbury, superintendent, remarked, For nearly all of our patients, Christmas is still an eagerly awaited occasion and the hospital, with the aid of gifts and donations from the public is planning to exert every effort to provide each of our patients with some desirable gift and to otherwise share in the Christmas festivities"
 Mrs. Sheldon reports that gifts of any description will be welcome but that the following are particu- larly appreciated: for the men, neckties, gloves, cigars, pipes, to- bacco, ScarfS, combs and socks; and for the women,-Stockings, handkerchiefs, underwear, ribbons, gloves, cosmetics, novelty jewelry, head Scarfs and handbags Many items such as cigarettes, books, Sta- tionery, pens and pencils as well as packages of cookies, figs and dates also are desirable gifts.
 Donations of money are also ac- ceptable and will be asked to defray expenses of special holiday en- tertainment programs for all the patients. If shocks or money orders are sent, they should be made pay able to the Christmas Fund, Con- necticut Society for Mental Fly giene, 152 Temple Street, New Haven, 10, Connecticut.

During the course of our lives we undoubtedly run across many oddities and occurrences that can't be passed off without some men, ton. One of these took place dur ing the earlier part of last week in the center of our fair city.
 As most of us know, the Pheas- ant Hunting season ended last Sat- urday, but during the few days prior to that, some bird Ca pheas- an0 was seen meandering about Center Street while your writer and perhaps other bird hunters, were combing the woods and briars without success.
 Now this may not seem too odd to the peace officers in this vicinity wEo have come across stranger in- cidents during their careers, but when that same pheasant flew off in the direction of East Main street and crashed through the window of one of the popular dancing studios, we can come to one of two conclusions. Either the sports men in this vicinity can't provide enough excitement for them in the field which brings them into town to get groovey' or they got wise to the strange birds on dance-floors these days and decided there must be room for pheasant to get hep to Step or two. (cough).
 Well fellows, let's put our guns back on the racks and go after butterflies.

Waterbury Fish and Game Protect i've Association. A number of ques- tons and points were cleared up during our program such as feed patch planting for the propagation of birds, the releasing of hen pheasants for over-winter breeding and also the states future pro- gram but the question that in my opinion was of the most interest to people of this area was the one in regard to the pollution of the Nau- gatuck River.
 One of the state boards proposed plans is the turning of this river into a fine trout stream. This would necessitate thorough cleansing of the pollution at it's bottom and the installation of sew age disposal plants by the factories along it's shores all through the valley.
 In consideration of the expendi- ture required to do this, some sources might claim it to be too great a project to undertake, merely to facilitate few sports men with some fine fishing. In lieu of the sport, we might concede these sources this point, but in the interest of public health, we feel this condition should have been remedied long ago, rather than subject the inhabitants of these localities to the filth, disease, and even epidemics that result from such conditions.
 We congratulate the Board of Fisheries and Game for proposing this plan and hope the anticipated cooperation is received from the towns and factories affected by the course of this river, but we can't help feeling that this task should also come under the jurisdiction of the health department; whether it be state or local.
 The proposing of this plan by the Fish and Game Board is one of the reasons why we denied it an honor to nave Dr. Russell P. Hunter as our guest last Thanks giving Day, and hope he can be with us again on future program to elaborate on the progress of this plan which affects the health of countless numbers of families.
