Mayors Call On
Citizens To Have
T-B X-Rays Made

I'D Always Mdue
Citizens of Moss Point and Pas
cagoula were formally called on
to avail themselves of the OPP
portunity of having free chest
x-rays in the fight against tuber-
culosis by a proclamation signed
by Mayor F. w. Cirlot of Moss
Point and Mayor John R. Watts
of Pascagoula.
The proclamation was issued
almost simultaneously with the
arrival of a mobile X-ray unit of
the State Board of Health which
will be in Jackson County for
three or four weeks under the
auspices of the County Board of
Health for the purpose of taking
an X-ray of every resident of
the county over Is years of age.
For the convenience of every
section of the county the unit
will be stationed at various points
through the county during these
weeks. The route of the unit,
with the area served appeared in
the last issue of the paper through
Friday, May 81, and the remain
ing schedule appears in this ar
ticle.
In the proclamation, the mayors
stressed the point that a success
full community must be a healthy
one and that communities must
be attractive and healthy to bring
industries. They pointed out that
though as recently as four years
ago $4,000 Americans died an
nually of tuberculosis medical
men give assurance that this
disease may be effectively con-
troled and that cases discovered
in early stages yield the largest
number of permanent cures and
arrests.
