40 North Carolina Board of Health mation concerning dangerous cases. For this reason physicians are required to report names and addresses only when in their judgment the patients should be under the supervision of the health officer in order to protect the public health. When patients are considered trustworthy, physicians may report their cases by number without disclosure of identity. Reports that reach the office are so handled that information concerning cases that should be invesitgated is referred to the local health officer. Every effort is made to encourage reporting by physicians through courteous treatment rather than by harsh measures. In carrying out this policy a number of form letters have been drafted for use in the routine handling of venereal disease case reports. There has been reported to this office the following number of cases of venereal diseases by part-time quarantine officers: Gonorrhea __________________________________________________________________________________________ 3,852 Syphilis ________________________________________________________________________________________________ 6,002 Chancroid ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 290 Balanitis ______________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 Total ____________________________________________________________________________________________10,145 Total number cases reported by whole-time quarantine off. 7,775 Grand total cases reported by all 100 counties in State__________17,920 DIVISION FOR THE INVESTIGATION AND CONTROL OF MALARIAL FEVERS The work of the State Board of Health on Mosquito and Malaria Control through the division for this purpose, as a result of insistent demand, has increased four-fold in application during the last biennium. In addition to the work in the malarial zone of the State, which had previously absorbed the efforts of the division, three other variations were gone into, namely: 1. The study of impounded water and its effect upon the prevalence of mosquitoes and the incidence of malaria; 2. The investigation of situations which produce pestiferous mosquitoes; 3. The surveying of salt marsh areas conjointly with the U. S. Public Health Service. Of these issues, circumstances presented the questions surrounding the impounding of water as the paramount mosquito and malaria problem of the period. The damming of streams for developing hydro-electric power was in a stage of expansion. The effect upon health conditions had previously led to long, bitter, and depressing ligitation and the issues by no means had been satisfactorily cleared. Adequate study of the situation necessitated application before and after building these projects, therefore, a major portion of the division's time was given to it. Space in the report is allotted accordingly. The other issues, though probably having been more or less constant, were meeting with a continually decreasing degree of tolerance for they were proving more and more to be an obstacle in the courses which progress and development were taking. The original undertaking of the division in the malarial zone being already well-organized and in operation in the hands of county health units, is adequately covered in previous reports and therefore, not gone into here further than the aid offered in maintaining it and taking up the periodic problems which arose. Detail of the report is given in the order of the subjects named.
