Montgomery County Health Fund
Benefits Hundreds Report Shows

Hundreds of Montgomery citizens
were aided by the Montgomery
Health Fund, a Community Chest
agency, during 1947, according to
report made public this week.
Douglas West, president of the
Health Fund, reported that 161
persons, who were unable to obtain
aid elsewhere, were provided with
hospital care at the cost of $780,
so. This money came from the
disqualification fund of the Mont
gomery County Community Chest,
a member of the Community Chest
Federation. Mr.. West explained:
Before authorizing any case,
the Health Fund director explores
all other possible sources of pay
ment, both official and voluntary
In doing so, every effort is made
TO insure that Community Chest
funds are wisely used"
Because of the increased cost Of
hospital operation, the Health
Fund last year increased the per
diem payment to hospitals from
$500 to 5000. A total of 1928
adult days and 131 infant days
care were provided in ten hospitals
in and around Montgomery County
The Health Fund also paid fol-
761 clinic visits by $50 patients,
at cost of $1.00 per visit OF this
number, 733 were clinic visits al
Suburban Hospital, and rs at
Episcopal Ear, Nose and Throat
Hospital.
Other assistance, amounting tc
$1,49l.5S, was given to those who
had specific needs, For. example, IL
people Including many children)
were provided with eye glasses al
the cost of $577.75. Braces and
trusses, and other such physical
aids were provided to eleven per.
sons at the cost of $232.40. Strep.
tomycin and penicillin was pro.
vided TO nine patients at the cost
of $475. Artificial eyes, artificial
limb repairs, dental plates, dress
ings, and indications were made
possible for others. One child was
assisted in taking speech therapy
In addition to providing aids foI
those people who had no other
resource, the Montgomery Health
Fund maintains a veritable health
Information bureau. The agency
works closely with the County
Health Department, the Welfare
Department, the Public Health Lay
Council, and community service
committees of various fraternal
and civic organizations. Thus,
through its international files, it
aids in the prevention of duplica-
tion Of services. in the health field.
The Health Fund is also a pio-
neer in demonstrating how to meet
community needs. For example,
last year it sponsored a home nurs-

COOPERATION ASKED IN SPRAY PLAN

The County Agent and Farm Bureau offices have
forwarded copies of circular letter to all farmers in
Montgomery County describing each of the several spray
services being offered this year. return card is
closed which the farmer checks the services which
he desires and thus places his order with the Farm
Bureau which is responsible for the proper application
of the materials.
Of particular interest to all county residents is the
campaign regarding Japanese Beetle Control All streets
and roadsides will be protected by spraying preferred
food plants at the expense of the County State and
Federal Governments but any and all work done on
farms will be at the farmers expense These agencies
are hoping to find organization individuals who
will perform similar service for home owners in the
towns and suburban area
Farmers are being urged by radio and the public
press to promptly return the cards indicating the spray
services desired at the earliest possible date it is
about time for of these sprays to be applied 1t is
also important for them to know the amount of work
TO be done they might place orders for the additional
equipment required to do the work

PAGE THE PIED PIPER!

According to estimates given out by the County
Agent and Farm Bureau 5525 rats killed in the
recent campaign conducted in the rural area of the
county This number of rats would have consumed and
wasted approximately so worth of food in one
year. If one considers the average life span of rats
which is four years. will save in that period of time
$1653 10000 worth of food to say nothing of the in
creased population that would have resulted The total
cost OF poison and bait used in the campaign amounted
to approximately $6120O which when subtracted from
the total saving amounts to $1,653, 138.O0
Naturally these agencies are proud of such results
and are planning to continue the campaign next fall
when rats are again driven from the fields and woods
for the protection of buildings against cold weather
The Sentinel is pleased that it could do it's bit in
the campaign by helping to publicize it.

ably the most publicized sneezer
was l3-year-old Mary Margaret
Clear, of Virginia, who sneezed
constantly for two months. Her
mother took her to Johns Hop
kins Hospital where DR.. Lee
kanner, chief of child psychia-
try, studied her and discovered
that her sneezing was simply a
protest to school work she didn't
like.
Said DR.. Kanner:: LESS than
two days of private conversation
with the child, a promise to
transfer her to another school
and reinsurance about an un-
warranted fear of TB changed
little Mary from d sneezer to an
ex-sneezer. The End

once she could not control the
impulse to repeat herself. DR..
Erickson found that the girls
mother had the same pattern
and her daughter, a three-week-
old infant, was also running true
to double-sneezing form. DR..
Erickson concluded that since
the baby could hardly have
learned it, she must have in
herited the trick.
The sneeze is one of the great
est single germ spreaders known
to mankind. Most doctors think
it has brought the common cold
to every home in the world and
has helped spread some of the
worst epidemics in history.
Although it seems an innocent
enough activity, a vigorous
sneeze may emit as many as
100000 bacteria-carrying parti-
cles. Professor M. W. Jennison,
of the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology, took high-speed
photographs of a dozen ka-choos,
found sneeze-sprayed droplets
leave the mouth at $50 feet
second or more than 100 miles
per hour. If they carry the germs
of any of the respiratory diseases,
someone in the room stands a
good chance of picking it up.
Aim Downwards
WHEN you sneeze, therefore.
cover your mouth with a hand
kerchief and aim at the floor.

Thirteen million Americans
are allergic sneezers. That is,
their bodies react in some way
to certain substances that are, in
themselves, harmless. They may
break out in hives or a rash but
more often they'll sneeze. Like
the man who felt that irresistible
tickling sensation in his nose
whenever he kissed his fiancee.
1t was her perfume.
Rad-Hand Sneexex
AT LEAST six million people are
seasonal sneezers, react to tree
pollen in spring and ragweed in
August. If you're an allergic
sneezer and your husband or
wife is too. the chances are three
out of four that your children
will develop some sort of hyper
sensitivity before the age of 10.
Sneezing can sometimes
be traced to psychological
rather than physical causes.
A poker player claimed he was
sensitive to the ink used on cards.
Yet he sneezed only when he was
dealt a bad hand. His reaction
was hard to explain but so reli-
able his friends could safely bet
on whether he had a winning
hand or not.

There is a strong movement IN

hold through the children. The
school training includes explana-
tions of the domestic fire hazards.
Frequently children are asked to
act as fire wardens' of their
homes. and the results have been
very encouraging. The following
suggestions have been prepared by
the Delaware Safety Council in the
form of fire precautions. If these
were universally and adequately
observed by everyone, the fire
waste in the state would be ma
terially reduced. Attention to
these apparently trivial things on
the part of large numbers of peo-
pie will result in great reduction
of the fire waste.
1. Keep matches out of the
reach of children. Teach them the
dangers of playing with fire.
2. Avoid throwing lighted Gig
ars, cigarettes, and matches into
waste-paper baskets or other plae-
es containing inflammable mater
ials.
8. Make it a point to know how
to get out of every building you
enter.
A. Avoid the filling of lighted
lamps.
5. Avoid the use of kerosene to
light fires.
6. Avoid hanging lace curtains
and other draperies over or near
gasjets or other open flames.
7. Place substantial fire-resist-
ing guards in front of all wood
work about sources of heat.
s. Keep greasy and oily rags in
tightly closed metal boxes provid-
ed in one place for the purpose.
9. Permit only experienced per-
sons to install or repair electrical
fittings and appliances.
TO- Turn the current off after
using an electric pressing non.
The Delaware Safety Council re-
minds us that it doesn't require
much effort to be careful, throght-
full and considerate. If everybody
in the United States would do just
a little thinking, how much better
we would all be- So, it is up to
you to carry forward to your own
homes and your neighborhood the
ideals of fire prevention.
