“Check Your Chest” Is
Urged When X-Ray Unit
Visits Mount Joy Mar.16
The Tuberculosis Society will
bring the chest x-ray unit to
Mt. Joy on Monday, March 186.
The trailer housing the equip-
ment will be parked at the El-
ementary School from 8:45 to
11:00 a. m. and at the High
School from 1:00 to 4:00 p. m.,
giving all adults an opportunity
fo “check your chest”. There is
no need to undress and it takes
only a few minutes which will
be time well spent. On the
same day, the unit will operate
to x-ray school children and
personel. A nominal fee of $1.00
is asked from individuals who
are able to pay. However, when

Church Sends

“A box for Alice Zachariah”,
the Indian nurse who endeared
herself to the members of Trin-
ity Lutheran Church when she
visited and spoke in the parish

“Boxes for Alice” when the
gifts were gathered on Sunday.

The pictures are made on bags, hair ribbons, handker-
miniature film and are merely a chiefs, hairpins, pencils, cray-
screening device. A definite di-
agnosis of Tuberculosis is not
made on the basis of these
films alone. Everyone who
comes to the unit for an x-ray
will receive a confidential re-
port card. If the screening film
is unsatisfactory or further
study indicated, an appointment
will be given for the individual
to have a large x-ray film. All
cases of suspected tuberculosis
and abnormal conditions re-
quiring medical care and treat-
ment are referred to private
physicians or clinics who re-
ceive a complete report on each
case. A thorough system of free
x-ray follow-up is maintained
by the Society. This is a dual
protective service. First, by
finding unknown disease those
infected are placed under treat-
ment while the disease is in its
early stage thus making their
changes of cure greater and far
less costly; second, their fami-
lies and friends are protected,
for tuberculosis is spread by the
sick to the well.
