Traumatic 50 Chronic Disease Section The Section Chief resigned as of December 31, 1959, to go on government service in the Far East. In January, 1960, the Chronic Disease Section was moved to Personal Health Division and placed under Section Chief for Cancer and Heart, with Radiation Control activities moved to the Section of Occupational Health in Epidemiology Division. In the 18 months of 1958-59, activities and studies started in the previous year were continued. The tuberculosis surveys in Wilson and Pamlico Counties were completed except for the fifth year follow-up in Pamlico. Report on these studies were made to the American Public Health Association meeting of 1959. Other technical activities in tuberculosis studies or surveys have been moved to the Tuberculosis Section. The unique study of tuberculosis incidence in Pamlico will be carried to completion in 1960-61. In 1960 the work has been concentrated on development of the Diabetes Program, and on plans for the Governor's Conference on Aging in July and the coming activities in that field. The diabetes program has set out to make available to every County Health Department requesting it, the equipment and materials to carry out a continuing survey of glucose blood levels in individuals and groups of probable high incidence. In the 100 counties 25 health directors reported interest in carrying out such surveys, including at least five counties with extensive programs already underway. In these counties the Glover-Edwards glucose test kit is provided free, together with the chemicals necessary to carry out the tests. Demonstration in the use of these materials is made on schedule in these counties and follow up visits where needed. Since a minimum of two percent of any population can be counted on to be diabetic, the importance of this preventive program to locate the diabetics and bring them under treatment is evident. All patients found with glucose levels indicative of possible diabetes are referred to physicians for diagnosis and treatment. This extended program is made possible through the assign-
