A summary of informa-tion on return and reburialof those who gave their)lives in World War II hasbeen received. This sum-mary includes the latest in-formation as to when thereturn will begin and also)the channels throughwhich the remains Will bedelivered to the next of kin.

This information, we feel,is of much importance tomost of our readers since)information on this subjecthas reached the public in)such small dribbles thatthey have not been able to)understand the complete!program. Therefore, we areprinting most of the : pfe- jpared Ȥ(immary in two in-,stallments, this week andnext.

As the prosecution ofWorld War II was truly,global in scope, so the prob-|lems of providing for the,

i final burial of those- whodied overseas during the,war in the service of their

! country are of great mag-nitude.

Final Burial| The Office of The Quar-termaster General is pro-ceeding to carry out theprogram of final burial

all the speed commen-surate with accurate, effi-cient operation. Congress;Tias set a time limit of five;’years in which this work isto be accomplished.

Each step in the program'has been planned to providedignity and respect in hand-)ling the remains of thosewho gave their lives. No dis-tinction or differences ofany kind will be shown be-cause of rank, race, creedor color. No priorities ofdisposition will be granted,

Health Department PlansIntensive Tuberculosive Survey

* The District Health De-partment will begin atonce an expanded • surveyfor the discovery of tuber-culosis in all three counties;in the health district. The,

j work will begin by tubercu-jlin testing all school child-;

i ren in the district. Approxi ]. mately 90 per cent of thesechildren will have a nega-'

' tive test, proving that thesejchildren have beenexposed to the disease and

*show no evidence of having

I it- ' ''The 10 per cent who show

a positive reaction will beX-rayed free at the HealthDepartment in Spruce Pine.The films will be donatedfree by the Division of In-dustrial Hygiene, headed

|by Dr. O. J. Swisher, hndthe Division of Tuberculo-sis Control, headed by Dr.jT. F. Vestal.

No child should feel be-cause he has a positive testthat he actually has the dis-

j ease. It will only be a reasonfor taking an X-ray for'further study. The filmswill be sent to Dr. C. D.

I Thomas, Medical DirectorI of the Western North Car-olina Sanatorium at Black

1 Mountain for study.

In a recent mass X-ray,study of the total popula-'tion of Augusta, Georgiaabout 75,000 films weremade. About 400 actual cas-J

i es, or one in every 200, werejdiscovered. In another sur-jvey recently the total popu-;

¦ lation of Gaston County was'X-rayed, and more recently:the population of Cleveland

' County. The results of thesestudies have not yet beencompiled.

These, in reality are not 1! surveys, but are studies'made for the purpose ofdiscovering all active cases'and treating them in a san-*atorium where they will al-most certainly all get well.Another purpose is to iso-late them from the generalpublic so as to prevent thespread of the disease.

When we discover a childwith active or healed tuber-culosis, w e immediately

• know that this child hasbeen exposed to active tub-

¦ erculosis in the home, or,

i elsewhere. Our purpose will• be to study the whole fam-i ily in each instance. In this,

. way our study of tubercu-'• losis in this district will be

¦ almost complete.; Dr. B. B. McGuire, Dis-trict Health Officer.
