ROTARY CLUB

R. W. MCCLURE
OF

LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Dear Fellow Rotarians:

   

May 24, 1944,

Harold Ingham, Director of Extension at the University,
made a very clear presentation at the Chamber of Commerce banquet
regarding the desire of the State of Kansas to eradicate tubercu-
losis,

I have taken the liberty of pledging the unanimous support
of Rotary to this most commendable effort.

As you know, the photo-fluorographic unit of the State
Board of Health, for tuberculosis case-finding, is in operation at
the Community Building (in the rooms on the east side of the main
floor) from May 25 to June 1, inclusive. The first two days are
reserved exclusively for facmlty and stwents of the public schools,
and Saturday forenoon is taken for special groups, The Rotary Club,
together with the Kiwanis and Co-Operative clubs, are asked to take
the responsibility for seeing that their members and families all
present themselves for X-ray photographs of the chest next Saturday
afternoon and evening, May 27.

The examination takes only a few minutes -— the photographs
are taken at the rate of 80 to 100 per hour -—— but some time is lost
in frequent changes in the examination of groups of men and of women,
For that reason, the schedule is arranged for the examination of men
between the hours of 1:00 and 3:00 in the afternoon and 8:00 and 9:00
in the evening; the examination of women from 3:00 to 5:00 in the
afternoon and 7:00 to 8:00 in the evening.

As far as possible, will you kindly arrange to have all
adult members of your families present themselves at one of these
periods on Saturday? If for any reason you cannot arrange this on
Saturday, please take advantage of the earliest available period
next week. The following are the open periods in the schedule
next week for both men and women;

7:00- 8:00 poem,

If we, by our example, support this project enthusiasti-
cally, dabtless others will follow in this program of early detec~
tion of tubercular cases,
