MONTGOMERY COUNTY SENTINEL
Thursday August 26, 1854

ed in the County since 1913 .
though 72S laboratory eXamina-
tons on noses and throat cultures
were done in 1858 for private ply
sicians to make sure diphtheria
was not present in these cases;
and there have been no cases of
rabies in the County since 1850.
The Departments rabies innocu-
lation program can, to a large ex'
tent, be given credit for this. The
report points out, however, that
only one-third of the estimated
dog population of the County was
immunized against rabies, where.
as at least one-half should be vac
cinated if rabies happens to come
into the County.
Measles cases reported dropped
from 677 in 1852 to 125 in 1858;
poliomyelitis, from Ga to 81; scar
let fever, from 90 to SIS, syphilis
from 60 to 80; and tuberculosis,
from "a to &c. Spotted fever cases
increased from l in 1852 to 6 in
1858. 1t is interesting to note that
since 1914 when attendance at
VD clinics was about SIS, attend
ance at clinics and reported cases
have almost steadily declined to
the well-under-50 cases in 1858.
The accomplishments of our
Health department-working
with a smaller budget, some
what smaller staff, but an in
creased population-have been
great during 1953-but its "un-
met needs" are also great. These
have been listed as "debits" in
the annual report, few of which
are as follows:
More visits to school cafeterias
by sanitarians would improve
food handling practices. Mobile
equipment is in sad shape II
the mobile dental service is to
be continued, a new trailer should
be obtained, or the old one thor
oughly overhauled. The County

and frequently "cast-off' police
cars) are in poor repair, as are
the two clinic cars which trans
port some patients to clinics. OF
these, the report states, Il. are
sufficiently rundown and dilapi-
dated as to be a real danger and
menace on the highway! For
those who would say. why trans
port clinic patients, anyhow,

plants, school, swimming pools
and septic systems. A great
amount of their time is consumed
with this latter detail. During
1858, a total of SIT septic tanks
were installed under their super
vision, with an average of AZ Wis
its being made per installation.
In addition, three pasteurization
plants, 408 eating places Cat the
end of the year, and 215 schools
and other institutions were regu-
larly inspected, 95 excreta nuis-
ances abated, SO milk samples
taken, 35 subdivision plats re-
viewed and tests made on prop
critics, $50 swimming pool inspec-
tons made, and ZIG "other NUS
ances" abated A dust problem
created by an industrial plant
was among these nuisances.
1t might be interesting to point
out that the IS subdivision plats
which were tested and approved
for individual sewage disposal IA
cilities, if built during this cur
rent year, will certainly add to
the workload of the So average
number of sanitarians on duty"
during the past year. The advent
of community swimming pools,
with the regular inspections they
will require, will also add to this
load. 1t is no wonder that the
report lists on the debit" side of
providing healthful surroundings
the item: inspections of restaur-
ants and food stores had to be
curtailed due to the demand of
other services, especially septic
tank control"
In the division Of Laboratory
Services, we find a total of 49,.
955 tests were made from July
/, 1853 to June 30, 1854. These
included tests on nose and throat
cultures, parasites, tuberculosis,
hematology, urine, water, milk,
and other clinical tests, such as
blood.
The division of tuberculosis
control found &c new active cases
during the year as against "a
the previous year. Active cases
on the divisions register at the
end of the year was 129, Gas
against 210 in 1852 of whom 60
were in hospitals. A remarkable
recent change in the tuberculosis
program shows up in the fact
that patients are now admitted
to State sanatoria with less than
a one-Week wait, whereas, as lit
tie as five years ago, the waiting
period was six months. This has
been made possible through the
opening up of new State facili-
ties.
Under communicable diseases,
the Health departments report
shows that only one case of ty-
phoid fever was reported during
the year, and that traced back
to a carrier in another State; no
case of diptheria has been report

A note to organization presi.
dents and their publicity chair
men:
PTA's, Homemakers Clubs,
Scouts, church groups, civic and
service groups-all start up their
activities in the fall, after what is
hoped has been a restful summer.
Many of these organizations want
publicity-and many of them
keep scrapbooks in which such
publicity is placed. Too often, In
the view of the publicity chair
man, material sent in to editors
never sees the light of day in the
papers - more frequently than
not, because of poor preparation
on the publicity chairman's part.
The following, presented by the
Montgomery County Press asso-
citation at it's Publicity Seminar
in October of 1851, is wise advice
to follow, if you would have your
material printed.
write name, telephone num-
Der, release date and title of story
in the upper lefthand corner of
page. Start one-third down the
page. Use 80 X II inch paper
and write on one side only.
"Use typewriter with clean rib
bon. Legible carbons are accept
able.
Double or triple space all copy.
Allow at least one-inch margins.
Put important facts first. Give
who, what, when, where and
why. -..-., .E
''Be accurate with names, adj
dresses and titles. Use full names.
In listing married momen, use
husbands name unless a career
woman.
"Use simple, short sentences.
Write in third person except in
quotes. Limit paragraphs to five
to eight sentences. Spell out long
numbers.
END page with a paragraph.
Write more at bottom of page if
there is additional copy. Slug
each page same as first.
"Use specific dates, as January
15'-not Tuesday.
"Get your copy in early-Mon-
day or Tuesday for weeklies."
The city dailies, on the whole
will not use as long stories as the
local weeklies. Thus, it's doubly
important to get the "five WIS" of
journalism into your story early
in the game. If the story has to
be cut, at least the important
items will be left in. Frequently,
organizations such as Homemade
ers clubs and bowling teams list
their memberships with the
ladies' first names, instead of
husbands names. When this is
the case, the County papers in
general seem to run the names
as they are given.
Those are the DOS" of pre-.
pairing publicity for newspapers
Here are some definite 'Don'ts''
as listed by the Press association:
"Do not ask special considera
ton of position, length or handl
ing of your story. Policy and
news value govern all contribu
tons fairly.
"Do not use fine writing, flow
cry language, triviality and over
enthusiasm. Avoid nicknames
and authorizations. Omit adjec
tives.
"Do not telephone stories. Ir

do not give preference to one
newspaper for story of general
interest.
"Do not ask for publicity on
bingo or other lotteries"
If your organization has a
monthly bulletin, newsletter or
other way of distributing organ
national news to its members,
have your local communist put on
the mailing list. Many publish
able items of general interest can
be obtained from such bulletins.
Above all, don't feel sighted if
your news Unexpectedly writ
ten thought it might be--is not
used "A given set of pages in a
newspaper can carry only so
much print; only so many letters
can be put to line, and only so
many lines to a column. If space
runs short, something has to
"give"-and normally isn't the
advertising that is "cut" but the
news stories. Just hope for bet
ter luck next time.

Announcements of his decision
did not give any reason for the
retirement.
The National Party chief did not
name his successor but political
circles believe he has chosen FL
nance Minister Nicholas C. Hav-
enga, who in 1851 merged his At
rikaner Party with DR.. Malan's Ma
tional Faction to form the pres
ent-day National Party.
There was. some speculation that
J. G. Strydom, militant Nationalist
leader in the Transvaal and Cab
met member, might be candidate
for the top post. However, observ-
ers generally believed that DR..
Malan before stepping out had
taken steps to line up his succession
and smooth the way for it.
Early Caucus Likely
The Prime Minister'S announce
ment was expected to result in an
earl caucus of the nationalist
members in Parliament to choose
the man Governor General E. G.

new government.
The Nationalists hold majorities
in both house of Parliament - 90
of the 159 in the House of AS
