72 Thirty-Fifth Biennial Report ^ Beginning in August of 1953, the Film Library became eligible for a reduced rate of postage on film shipments resulting in a 76.5% saving in postage. Even with this great saving, the library used a total of $2,723.90 for fourth class mail alone. There was also an increase in the distribution of venereal disease drugs during the biennium. The following amounts of venereal disease drugs were distributed: 99,483,000,000 units of penicillin, 1,539,000,000 units of bicillin, 2,283,000,000 units of crystacillin, 55,050 grams of sulfadiazine, l,832,000mg. aureomycine, 1,300 pyrabenzamine tablets, 6,000 A.P.C. tablets, 46 bottles V.D.R.L. antigen, 51 vials Frei Test antigen, 43 tubes Cortone acetate, 118 vials Ducrey vaccine and 25 one gram vials streptomycin. PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING SECTION During the biennium, the Public Health Nursing Section functioned with a chief and five generalized consultants with specialists in mental health, planned parenthood, industrial nursing, maternal and child health and tuberculosis. In addition to these consultants, another was loaned to the section by the Public Health Service for experience in public health nursing supervision in a local health department. She also served as nursing consultant in venereal disease. The district covered by the tuberculosis consultant was uncovered from July 1952 to July 1953. In addition to the two specialized nursing consultants in Crippled Children's Section, a specialized consultant in maternal and child health was added to the State Board of Health and was placed, administratively, under the Personal Health Division. Stimulation and guidance has been given to the local public health nurses by the section in various ways: Supervisory and consultative visits to local health departments, recruitment and screening of personnel, and many in-service education activities. The latter includes classes and institutes in the care of the premature infant; institutes in child growth and development; courses at the University of North Carolina in mental health, cancer, tuberculosis, heart and geriatrics; midwife workshops, polio workshops, rheumatic fever institutes, and conferences for supervisors. In the area of mental health, in-service education activities have been particularly emphasized. The nursing consultant working with others in the Mental Health Section has participated in many conferences and workshops in local health departments, community groups and our own section. An observation and orientation program for public health nurses at Dix Hill was also successfully initiated. The need for qualified public health nurses in our local departments continues, as shown below in the number of public health nui'ses employed locally by Merit System classifications: Registered Nurses in Public Health (without academic training in P. H.) ...................................................... 190 Senior Public Health Nurses (completed 1 year of academic study in public health, plus 2 years of experience) ...................... 162 Junior Public Health Nurses (less than a year of study and/or 2 years of experience) .............................................. 130 Clinic Nurses ................................................... 21
