THURSDAY. JANUARY 30. 1958 Plains Look at Health Picture By MARY TOM KASCO StoJS Writer The lives of two 13-month-olrf Infants probably were saved recently because of the hospital facilities which Amarillo is able to offer. The first case, a Latin-American infant, was brought in from Tucumcari to have'a peanut removed from his lungs. Tne baby had'been suffering from what- was thought to be a severe case of bronchitis since Christmas.

However, he had not responded to treatment and when further investigation was made, it was discovered that he had been playing with peanuts prior to becoming ill. He was dying when brought to St. Anthony's hospital. The peanut. was removed Friday morning was well along the recovery.

The second baby was brought In from Liberal, with a penny lodged in his throat. He might have choked to death. However, the penny was removed and given to his mother who wanted it for his baby book. "While these cases are not di- "rectly related to the hospital'bed a "said Vthe Amarillo doctor who removed the foreign objects, "They do 'point out some of the services which hospitals such as Anthony's and Northwest Texas are able to give." "Those babies were rushed to Amarillo because "we have the teams of doctors, nurses and anesthesists to perform operations such as this that demand teamwork. "We also operating facilities and proper instruments to take care of these emergencies," he said.

town hospitals are not always so equipped." F. V. Wallace, chairman of the hospital subcommittee of the Citizen's Health Council and also general chairman of the fund raising drive to expand St. Anthony's Hospital which will be conducted soon by the Plains Hospital Fund of the Amarillo Area Foundation, is really a glutton for work for Amarillo hospitals. In spite of the fact that he has been a member of the board of 'directors of Northwest Texas Hospital for several years, he has agreed to give more time and effort and become a member of the Lay Advisory Board at St.

Anthony's 'Mr. thoroughly sold on St. Anthony's Hospital and the contribution the Sisters of Charity have made to Amarillo since the hospital was established over 50 yearn ajp. He said that because of the -foresight of the sisters in planning basic facilities such as the power plant, kitchens, rooms at St. Anthony's could be added for 511,000, while the average cost per room in most hospitals will run from $17.000 to $20,000.

"Even members of the Catholic Church, who should know, don't realize that St. Anthony's is a corporation which, can go broke just like any other business," said A. E. Herrmann, who is a charter member; of the Amarillo Area board as well as a member of the SC Anthony's lay board. "Again, may, emphasize that the Catholic Church -does not contribute to St.

Anthony's; Hospital and the does contribute to the Church. "The only connection is that uie hospital is operated by a Catholic order of nuns." Mrs. Ralph White, president df St. Anthony's Women's Auxiliary, says there still is a crying need for volunteers to operate the snack bar and the'service tray at the hospital. "While the 78 members have work hard and are faithful in fulfilling their duties, we still need more workers," she said.

"Please dispel the rumor that this organization is composed of Catholic women only or that the auxiliary 'votes in' its membership. "The auxiliary Is non-denominational. Anyone who wishes- to participate in programs to raise money for some of the real necessities at St. Anthony's can do so merely by paying $5 for a memJtership and buying a simple little uniform so that she can be identified." The new cyclo propane gas tank which the auxiliary recently purchased for the delivery room will be a big help to Sister Joseph who is in charge of the obstetrical floor. Sister Joseph had been borrowing- a tank- from the surgical floor until she got her own.

Mrs. M. U. Lively, executive secretary of the Amarillo-Potter County Heart Association estimates that 'at least 96,000 persons in Amarillo and Potter County will know something about rheumatic fever before its educational campaign is over. Mrs.

Lively is basing her count on the fact that printed information on rheumatic fever is going to 22,000 children in the public schools, to those in parochial schools ar.d 500 to rural schools. In addition to the printed material, the movies, "Th Valiant Heart" and "Stop Rheumatic Fever," which have been shown fo all science and physical education classes in the Amarillo secondary schools. The films.also are being shown ito civic clubsX i Mrs. Lively estimates the average family in Amarillo to be composed of four persons, she thinks see the school Incidentally, the original plan in tlie secondary, schools was to show the movies to only the science classes. However after principals and school nurses had a preview, the schedule was enlarged to include all physical education classes as well.

The heart association has had to order another set of films to meet the demand. A small boy from Amarillo soon will be on his way fo one of the -state toriums, His case of active, infectious TB was discovered through the skin testing program: which is being conducted in. half of the Amarillo schools 'this' year. Children in other half we're tested! during the previous school'-year and will be tested again next year. "If we find only one case of tuberculosis through the skin testing- program;" said J.

L. Scott, executive secretary of the Potter County Tuberculosis "we consider the testing worthwhile. "Finding and removing one case of infectious tuberculosis from a crowded school room and from a family may prevent many others from being infected 'lyitti TB. "Finding cases early makes recovery more likely," she continued. "This child be treated and his case will in all likelihood become arrested." When the X-Ray was taken following the positive, skin test of the child, he was found to have primary pulmonary TB and was placed in an Amarillo hospital await transfer to the state hospital.

The 1957 report of, the tuberculosis, committee of the Potter County Medical Society was printed in the society's January Bulletin -and the following facts were-revealed: A total of 10,372 X-rays were made during the mobile chest X-ray campaign made in Amarillo last May. Of "these 245 X-rays were abnormal. Of the abnormal pictures, 163 showed either minimal tuberculosis, moderately a vanced tuberculosis or suspicious tuberculosis. Cardiac abnormalities showed in 59 X-rays and 23 others showed some other type of chest abnormality. Every effort was made to get patients with positive X-rays to their own physician or where necessary to tuberculosis association.

(When, a person has a chest X-ray -made by the mobile unit, notifies the family- physician THE AMARILLO GLOBE-TIMES. ft which has been listed by person who got the so that the doctor, as well. as the subject, is aware that something is wrong.) A (otal of 4,652 children were skin Jested in the schools. Of this number 167 showed positive (hot necessarily Ttt). Of the total positive tests, seven are -still undergoing further tests and evaluation.

At least two cases have been diagnosed as first phase infection. "We found that frequently there were active cases of tuberculosis in the families of children who had positive skin tests," said Daugherty, chairman of the tuberculosis committee of the medical society. "The Amarillo Health Department previously had discovered cases: But the tracing back of the positive'skin-tests among children points out how easily tuberculosis, can be passed from one member of a family to others living in the close confines of a "It should be noted that, although the number of cases of tuberculosis discovered by these procedures is declining each year, there still remains a fairly large number of positive cases, and in some areas of town the percentage is quite high," said Dr. Daugherty.
