.One-Third Of City
To Be x-Rayed In
This Years Survey

East Cleveland's 1859 free
chest x-ray survey will open
Wednesday, May goth and con-
tinue through Saturday, May
23rd. All persons 19 years of age
and over are urged to partici-
pate.
The Christmas Seal buses will
be located in eight places in the
north east section Of the city
This will include the area from
the Nickel Plate Railroad north
to the city limits and east tc
Phillips ave.
This x-ray program, announc-
es DR.. Joseph F. Stocklin, direc.
tor of the Anti-Tuberculosis
League will inaugurate an en-.
tirely new approach to free chest
x-raying in Cuyahoga County
Instead Of a city-wide survey
each year with fewer bus loca.
tions, the survey will be concen-
trated in a one-third of the city
with eight stations operating 70,
the full three days, including two
evening schedules.
Each year the survey moves
into another area, adding up tc
a complete survey every three
years.
Everyone in north east Cleve.
land will find an x-ray bus much
closer to home than ever before
And this, it is believed, will make
/ it easier for persons to get the
free chest x-ray. 1t is expected
to add up to far more x-rays
than ever before.
Referring to the average of a.
bout 5000 x-rays annually here
VIM. w. Lewis, Public Relations
Director for the League, says
they feel it will be better to x-ray
| into thousands of different peo-
! pie every three years, than to x.
ray the same 5000 persons every
year.
The new program has the ap-
proval Of the six health boards
within the county and the Cleve-
| land Academy of medicine.
For those under 19 years o1
age a new program calls for tu
berculin testing instead of x-ray.
ing. Parental consent must bt
given.
While the policy to be innau.
gurated this spring calls for sec.
tor x-raying, Mrs. Frank Holz-
heimer, local chairman, makes il
clear that anyone anywhere ir
East Cleveland, will be welcome
to a free chest x-ray at any bus
on any day of the May 20th-23rc
schedule. eve don't want to ex.
clude any persons from this
health program, she added.
