"Every person should have "his chest x-rayed every year," Macnamara said. "Much can' happen In a year. A negative reaction today Is no indication that the same reaction will be found a year later." The speed with which the 1 serted under the child's skin after written permission from his parents has been obtained. If there is a positive reaction in this case a red, raised area on the skin a chest X-ray Is taken. "Among school children, only positive reactions are X-rayed," he continued.

"The positive reaction in the needle test doesn't mean the child has tuberculosis, however. It may mean merely that the child has been exposed to it. The chest X-ray makes Two Are Concerned Two Deerfield women paused as they walked oat the door of the trailer. "Now we've got to wait two weeks to find out whether we've got TB," one said. "I'll be a- fraid to open my letter." "Me, said her friend.

"Call me up when yours comes. We'll open them together." did just that. "More work I' his wife complained as they went out the door. "But, honey, it's for a good cause." said the husband. When the trailer is set up for community use, more women than men have their chest X-rays taken, Miss Fortuna went on.

"Many men plead that they Just can't take the time, it's difficult for us to get across how little time it takes. White Collar Workers Slow "we get the male factory workers, tho, when the trailer goes right to the factories, it's the male white collar workers and store clerks who are slow in coming In." The mobile Christmas seal X-ray unit also takes chest rays of school children who have shown a positive reaction In a tuberculosis needle test, Macnamara said.

There will be other lines soon In Zion and Winthrop Harbor, and, later, in other Lake county communities. Three similar trailers will tour Cook county areas from May to October.

In Deerfield, as everywhere else, everybody asked the same Questions: "Does it hurt?" "Do you have to undress?" "Does it take long?" They Are Reassured Just inside the trailer's rear entrance, Charles Macnamara, of 1025 Glen Flora Waukegan, took their cards and reassured them: "You feel no pain. The most you need take off is a coat or jacket or maybe a pin or button. It takes 10 seconds at the most. It's free. And It's one of the most valuable health steps you ever took." Nurse Fannie Fortuna, of 1110 Grove av Waukegan, nodded.

"That's all there is to it," Ehe smiled. Macnamara, wno Is executive secretary of the Lake County Tuberculosis association, and Miss Fortuna were talking about the county's community X-ray service to find unsuspecting victims of tuberculosis. The service is paid Tor by receipts from the sale of the familiar Christmas seals. 29,000 X-Rays Taken Since the Lake county trailer and its X-ray equipment were purchased in 1944, more than 29,000 chest X-rays have been taken. The average for Lake county, as it is for all of northern Illinois, is about one victim of tuberculosis for every 1,000 X-rays.

"After removing any buttons, brooches, pins or metal objects over the lung area usually it's just a matter of removing a jacket or coat a person just rests his chin in the proper place on the machine. "The operator says, 'Take a deep breath. Now hold it and 3 or 4 seconds later, 'That's all. Result Is Mailed 'That is all," she continued.

"The X-ray has been taken and the result will be mailed in about two weeks."
