outside a hospital or in circum-
stances unknown. In this per-
centage Halifax County ranked
among North Cardinals 100
counties in the percentage Of
live births occurring without
facilities.
A physician was in attendance
at 9l5 of the Halifax County
births, however $50 had only the
attention of a midwife.
Another Indication of the
county's health rating according
to the State Board of Health fig
ures is that between 1910 and
l945 Halifax County had total
draft rejection of 54.36 per cent
This high percentage of reject
ions gave Halifax a ranking of
87th in the state.
Halifax ranked somewhat
higher in the total per capita
expenditures, being 31st among
! the 96 North Carolina counles
which spend money for public
health service.
The county's health budget
for the fiscal year l94748 total
ed $50, 283, an expenditure of S,99
per capita. OF this total, local
sources contributed $50, 1893, the
State contributed S4,l40 and So,
$50 came from the Federal gov
eminent.

third the budget and funds need
ed by the Health Department
for minimum protection, and
one-third the hospital beds need
ed to meet the minimum stand
ards for the United States"
DR.. NcGavran praised the
work of the present Health De
partment staff, saying they had
worked against tremendous
odds to raise the standards of
health in the community"
Following detail study of the
facilities and services of the
Halifax County Health Depart
ment, as well as the entire COM
munity, Dr.. McGavran made re-
Communications for an immedi-
ate program, a fiveyear pro-
gram and an ultimate program
/ Among the items on the i'm
mediate program proposed III
the immediate program is the
consolidation of vital statistics
in the county, making the health
officer registrar for the entire
county; the stressing of early
immunization of infants and pre-
school children for diphtheria
whooping cough, tetanus and
smallpox; the necessity for
closer supervision of midwives
in the county; the inauguration
of some type of sex and social
hygiene education in the public
schools; increased facilities for
a mental hygiene clinic; ano
the Importance of having a
public health committee appoin-
ted among the physicians of the
Halifax County Medical Society
to consider public health prob,
lens as they arise.
! DR. Young presented these
recommendations made by DR.
McGavran to members of the
Halifax County Board Of Health
in a recent meeting emphasizing
the need for local plans in the
event more funds are made a.
valuable to the Health Depart.
ment through increased state ar
federal appropriations.
He reported the new public
health laboratory of the de-
partment is nearly completed
and is being approved by the
State Laboratory of Hygiene
Mrs. Fred West of Weldon is
the laboratory technlcian If
charge of the new department
In the McGavran report the
recommended five-year health
program for Halifax County
urged that more public health
nurses, sanitarians. clerks anc
a public health educator be add
ed to the staff Of the Health
| Department as soon as funds
become available.
Included in the recommended
tons for the ultimate health pro
gram is Health Center build
ing. constructed preferably IL

vey of Halifax County's' health
status and facilities recently con-
Quoted by DR.. E. G. McGarvran,
Dean of the School of Public
Health of the University County
is deficient in more aspects than
those in which it is efficient
DR.. McGavan's report indi-
Gated a complete survey had
been made on Is major sections
in which the county was rated
poor" in nine fair" in five
and good in only two. The
appraisal covered not only the
official public health program of
the Halifax County Health De-
lartment but included the total
health facilities of the entire
county including the availability
of physicians, dentists, hospital
beds and the services rendered
by the voluntary health agen-
cies. Evaluation was made
on the basis of the evaluation
schedule of the American Public
Health Association.
About the same time figures
released by the North Carolina
State Board of Health indicated
that during 1947 (the last year
for which complete records
have been compiled) 63.55 per
cent of Halifax County's live
births occurred without the
benefit of hospital facilities for
mother and child.
The 1947 birth figures indicate
that out of total of 1,767 live
births in the county 644 occurred
