Tuberculosis
is
not
inherited.
A
certain
kind
of
germ
causes
tu-lierculosis.
Like
all
germs,
these
are
living
things,
tiny
plants,
that
pre
related
to
the
family
of
plants
rnd
molds.
Because
they
"make
people
sick,
they
are
called
pathogenic;
because
of
their
shape,
they
are
called
bacilli.
The
scientific
name
,in
case
you're
interested,
is
mycobacterium
hsis,
the
.
thread-shaped
plant
which
causes
the
disease
tuliercu-losis.
When
the
little
mold-like
plants
we
call
tuberculosis
germs
make
n
home
in
a
human
body,
they
usually
set
up
housekeeping
in
the
liings.
One
of
three
things
can
happen:
1.
A
healthy
body
will
kill
all
germs,
especially
if
their
number
is
small.
A
force
we
call
body
resistance
is
on
the
job
at
all
times
Retting
rid
of
dangeruos
germs.
Many
people
are
not
aware
that
they,
have
fought
a
round
with
tu-lcrculosis
germs
and
have
come
out
the
winner.
The
X-ray
picture
shows
the
old
scars
of
this
battle.
2.
The
body
is
not
always
able
to
kill
all
the
tuberculosis
germs.
Millions
of
grown-up
people
have
colonies
of
living
tuberculosis
germs
in
their
bodies.
The
body
and
the
germs
have
signed
an
armistice.
The)
Iiody
awaits
the
chance
to
kill
the
germs
and
the
germs
wait
for
a
chance
to
overcome
the
resistance
of
the
body.
There
is
no
way
of
finding
out
whether
all
the
germs
have
been
killed,
go
it
is
a
good
idea
to
talk
things
over
with
your
family
physician.
A
modern
doctor
will
have
you
X-rayed.
If
there
are
spots
which
show
old
healed
tuberculosis
he
will
neither
make
light"
of
the
X-ray
findings
nor
will
he
unduly
alarm
you.
You
may
live
to
a
ripe
old
age
without
ever
having,
to
fight
tuberculosis
again.
A
complete
physical
examination
each
year
by
your
family
doctor,
who
will
advise
you
when
to
be
X-rayed
again
is
your
best
protec
tion.
How
often
X-rays
should
be
taken-
is
a
matter
to
be
decided
by
your
physician.
3.
Real
trouble
begins
when
either
body
resistance
breaks
down
or
when
the
germs
get
rein
forcement
from
the
outside.
Then
the
germs
begin
to
multiply
in
number.
They
feed
on
the
substance
of
the
body
and
thow
off
poisons
which
make
the
body
feel
sick.
After
a
while,
the
person
logins
to
cough,
lose
weight,
may
.spit
up
blood
and
show
signs
of
tuberculosis.
But
long
liefore
a
man
or
woman
knows
that
the
germs
are
doing
their
work,
the
X-ray
can
show
trouble
in
the
lung.
Chest
X-rays
are
the
best
way
of
finding
tulierculosis
in
the
early
stages.
Under
the
direction
of
the
Provincial
Board
of
Health,
Division
of
Tuberculosis
Control,
a
branch
tuberculosis
clinic
is-
maintained
-t
the
Health
Unit.
Cases-referred
by
priviate
practitioners
are
examined
and
contacts
investigated.
The
Tu!ercuIosis
Travelling
Clinic,
under
the
direction
of
Dr.
A.
'llakstian
of
Vancouver,
visited
l'rince
Rupert
in
February
and
ngain
in
August,
at
which
times
some
500
persons
were
examined
in
1944,
at
public
expense.
Between
visits
of
the
Travelling
Clinic,
an
arrangement
with
the
Prince
Rupert
General
Hospital
has
been
made
whereby
persons
are
examined.
In
1944(
444
persons
were
X-rayed
at
the
hospital
as
a
cost
of
$2
each
to
the
Division
of
T.B.
Control.
This
year
Prince
Rupert
will
bt
fortunate
in
having
the
visit
of
a,
mobile
Tuberculosis
clinic,
which
will
spend
two
months
in
the
area
between
Prince
Rupert
and
Burns
Iake,
making
a
mass
survey.
The
mobile
unit
is
a
truck
w
ith
modern
trailer
and
is
equipped
to
take
and
develop
the
new
miniature
films.
It
is
hoped
that
as
many
people
as
possible
will
avail,
themselves
of
the
opportunity
for
a
free
chest
X-ray.

Three
Functions
of
Provincial
Board
of
Health
Are
Outlined
(By
DR.
G.
F.
AMYOT,
Provincial
Health
Officer)
The
functions
of
a
Provincial
Department
of
Health
flow
along
three
main
channels,
namely,
(1),
the
provision
of
specialized,
and
consultive
services
which
cannot
bi

economically
on
a
local
basis;
(2),
the
stimulation
of
the
development,
maintenance
and
expansion
of
adequate
local
health
services,
nnd
(3),
the
provision
of
sound
advice
and
co-ordination
in
all
matters
related
to
the
public
health.
In
regard
to
the
first
of
these
functions,
the
Provincial
Board
of
Health
in
British
Columbia
has
already
provided
for
the
people
of

a
broad
and
well

series
of
technical
and
consultive
'service.

are

itation.
However,
because
these
FCivices
are
organized
on
a
Provincial
basis,
it
is
necessary
to
have
some
outlet
in
the
local
communities
of
the
Province
to
bring
these
specialized
services'
to
the
people
and
also
to

the
most

manner.
The
local

are

a

This

A

among
Indians
of

central

will
shortly

Thereby
the
already

cal
health
service
within
the
means
of
the
local
taxpayer.
It
hould
be
pointed
out
that
a
health
unit
is
not
a
branch
of
the
Pivjncial
Health
Department,
and
is,
as
has
been
mentioned
above,
a
local
health
department
supported
by
the
taxpayers
in
the
area
which
it
serves.
Toward
the
cost
of
the
Health
Unit,
substantial
grants-in-aid
are
provided
by
the
Provincial
Board
of
Health.
The
monetary
contributions
required
frcm
the
local
communities
to
provide
the
full-time
Health
Units
an
in
most
instances
very
little
more
than
that
previously
spent
to
provide
inadequate
and
antiquated
part-time
health
services
with
which
these
communities
had
been
served
in
the
past.
The
health
program
available
under
the
Health
Unit
is
so
far
in
excess
of
that
provided
by
the
former
type
of
service
that
many
times
the
value
is
received
for
the
money
spent.
Because
a
Health
Unit
is
a
local
department,
it
is
obvious
that
the
effectiveness
of
the
health
program
carried
on
by
the
public
health
personnel
depends
in
the
final
analysis
on
the
support
and
the
co-operation
given
by
the
peo
ple
of
the
community
served.
This
i
requires
and
demands
an
appreci
ation
and
understanding
on
lie-
half
of
the
people
of
the
health
problem
in
their
area
as
determined
and
presented
by
the
Health
Unit
Staff,
followed
by
a
desire
and
willingness
of
the
people
to
work
together
toward
the
solution
of
these
problems
for
both
the
direct
and
indirect
population
and
rect
and
indirect
protection
and
improvement
of
the
health
of
their
community
and
its
various
components.
This
requires
an
enlightened
public
pinion,
and
for
this
reason
one
of
the
chief
activities
of
the
Health
Unit
staff
is
public
health
education
in
order
to
acquaint
the
people
with
'their
community's
health
problems
and
the
simplest
and
most
practical
method
for
their
solution.
