BOUQUETS To DlnnlNGHAM
(The Beacon staff strongly suspects
that the people of Dillingham do not fully
realize what a big undertaking last sum
mer fs mass X-Ray program wasj so, we
quote below from a write-up appearing in
September* s ATA NEWS*)
"This small town has the unique dis
tinction of being the first and only
town in Alaska to pay its share of a Mass
Tuberoulosis X-ray Survey in entirety and
not only for its own population but for
► the surrounding area* The story of this
project is a tribute to the public health
nurse# the local Health Council and the
citizens of the community and should be
* an inspiration to other towns****
..."No casefinding had been carried on
► here since 1949. No patients from this
area were in the TB hospitals. In viow of*
:»the high rate of tb positives found in
the BCG program in the nearby Kuskokwim
area, it seemed important that a mass
► casefinding project be undertaken for
Dillingham and the outlying villages cov
