Health Department Finds Screening
Procedure Best For School Proqrnm

A total of 2,425 children have
been examined by the Jackson
county health department since
the Inauguration of The special
referral school health and medi-
cal correction program in April,
1916, DR.. Andrew Hedmeg. de
partment director, pointed out in
a report made public this week.
OF this number 1860 were
school children and 1865 were of
%preschool age. Medical corrections
were recommended for SAL of the
children and records show that
these were completed for 219 of
The children. The amount spent
on the corrections involved $4,-
49, of which $2,32I.50 was
from local funds with a matching
amount being furnished by state
Ands. Private funds totaled
s88.25. This averaged $21.20 for
each operation.
In the child guidance clinic %
children G seen and in the
dental clinic 277 children were
examined with 1910 corrections
being made.
When this program was begun
in Jackson county it was the
first such program in the state.
The primary purpose was to elm
mate mass school examinations
and concentrate attention on
those children who had been re-
ferred to the department as ac-
tually needing some health cor
r%ection, DIR. Hedmeg explained.
The success of the program has
been such that il is now recognize
ed as one of the most outstand-
ing programs of its kind in Mis-
sissippi, he said.
THE success of this program
has not been entirely due to the
efforts of the health department
personnel but to the splendid CO.
operation which we have receiv-
ed from the school people, the
PTAs, our local Board of Super
visors and doctors, dentists and
the Jackson county hospital" DIR.
Hedmeg pointed out.
Recognized as a weakness at
the present time, however, is the
fact that many children needing
medical attention are referred to
their private physicians and there
is no way of checking up on how
many corrections have been ac-
complished. DR.. Hedmeg has sug-
that's a worthwhile project
for the PTAs and teachers would
be the taking of an individual
poll in each room to determine
the number of children who have
mad needed medical attention for
ailments discovered at the Board
If Health clinic.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26. Five
players from the American and five
from the National make up the 1948
major league all-star team as Sc
lected for the Associated Press by
220 baseball experts throughout the
Nation.
Only six of the 16 big league
clubs, three in each league, are rep
resented in the third annual all-star
aggregation. The world champion
Cleveland Indians won two berths,
as did the National League cham

The Boston Red Sox, and ST.

OF the 10 men selected, six are

infleld of Johnny Mize, Joe Gordon,
Bob Elliott and Lou Boudreau; Ted

ballots cast. =,
All Williams's votes were for left

three positions. The Cardinals great

Di Maggie, spark plug Of the

Hoyas Make Headway
In Air, Despite Lack
OF Expert Passers

For college football team with
out a real passing threat, George
town is doing exceptionally well
with its passing. Five of the Hoyas
nine touchdowns this season have
come through the air, and at least
one other was set up directly by
a pass.
Yet there isn't really dangerous
aerial artist on the team now that
Babe BaranowsH is laid up with a
broken collarbone. Six other play
ers have tried their hand at pass
ing and none was consistently ac-
curate enough to be counted as a
threat. But the payoff percentage
has been exceptionally high.
In four games, the Hoyas have
tried 80 passes and completed 16.
That hardly is a good average and
the total number doesn't match
what many colleges throw in two
games. But the total yardage OF
247 is very good and the five touch
downs and another setup Is won
derful. e - Psi
One reason for his success is tina,
Georgetown uses the pass as rule
only after a long series of running
plays. Georgetown throws so few
|passes that scouts haven't Learned
what to look for. When q George
town pass Is tried, it has q good
chance of catching the other team
by surprise.
That was the case of Billy Conn's
two touchdown passes in two at.
tempts against Tulsa. Dick Barba
has tried only one, but 1t went fol
"a yards to within yard of q score
against Fordham. Tommy Hardi-
man had attempted only one pass
until last week, when he tried four
and completed four. two for touch
downs, against Fordham.
Oddly enough. the player who
normally would rate as the teams
best passer, Elmer Raba, has the
poorest average. He has tried IA
and completed four, none for a
touchdown. Two were intercepted
