116 North Carolina Board of Healtzi developed during the year. The counties to which the Board is contributing for this purpose are: Beaufort, Bertie, Bladen, Brunswick, Buncombe, Cabari'us, Carteret, Columbus, Craven, Cumberland, Davidson, Durham, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Granville, Halifax, Henderson, Johnston, Lenoir, Mecklenburg, Nash, New Hanover, Northampton, Pamlico, Pitt, Randolph, Richmond, Robeson, Rowan, Rutherford, Sampson, Surry, Vance, Wake, Wayne, Wilkes and Wilson. In addition, Guilford County maintains a county health department and Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem, Asheville and Rocky Mount have city departments to which the Board does not contribute. About sixty per cent of the State's population now has the advantage of public health sei^vice. In addition to assisting in the maintenance of these 38 general county health departments, the Board by means of a combination of State and Federal funds is rendering further financial assistance in 19 counties for the purpose of promoting the welfare of maternity and infancy. These counties are: Robeson, Pitt, Forsyth, Lenoir, Halifax, Nash, Richmond, Sampson, Wayne, Brunswick, Edgecombe, Rowan, Durham, New Hanover, Wake, Beaufort, Mecklenburg, Jackson and Warren. The financial assistance is for the specific purpose of employing a nurse limiting her service to maternity and infancy work. This division also supervises the 6,000 midwives of the State, distributes silver nitrate solution to physicians and midwives for use in the eyes of the new-born as required by law, and conducts a correspondence course for expectant mothers with an average enrollment of about 8,000. In the division of Medical Inspection of Schools a director of oral hygiene, eight dentists and eight nurses are employed. During the past school year 259,862 children were inspected by these nurses with the following defects discovered: hearing 571, vision 8,049, throat 29,852, teeth 27,110, other defects 5,626. During the summer months tonsil and adenoid clinics were held in the following counties: Hertford, Hyde, Pamlico, Pender, Bladen, Duplin, Columbus, Caswell, Swain, Haywood, Clay, Jackson, Graham, Orange, Warren, Person and Harnett and 1,863 operations were performed by specialists who were selected by the local boards of health. About 60,000 children were examined by the school dentists and 29,796 were given needed dental treatment. In the health education division the monthly publication of the Board, The Health Bulletin, has continued to maintain its high standard as the best publication of its class in the United States. There are 20,000 copies distributed monthly. Other literature, special educational pamphlets and placards, have been distributed in number exceeding 1,000,000 pieces. The ^motion picture unit has been used in ten counties and has exhibited to more than 60,000 people. An important undertaking of the Board has been completed during the year. This was the malaria survey of the impounded waters projects. High Rock development of the Tallassee Power Company, Norwood development of the Carolina Power & Light Company, and the Lake Lure development of the Chimney Rock Company. A chemist-biologist and two nurses have been engaged in this work. The final report of these surveys will not be complete for some weeks, but I am confident they will prove most valuable in connection with this phase of the industrial development of the State.
