Show Newly Organized Group Discusses Health Education Health education for Duchesne Du-chesne county was the principal topic of discussion Thursday night, July 20, at the first board meeting of the Duchesne County Coun-ty Tuberculosis and Health association, as-sociation, in Roosevelt. One of the main phases of the health education program discussed was the handling of chest x-rays, following completion comple-tion of the county-wide chest-x-ray program to be held the latter part of August. The association as-sociation will then be prepared to pay the expense of x-rays for people who cannot afford them. The required money will come from the Tuberculosis Christmas Seal drive, which prior to 1950, has never been conducted locally in Duchesne county. This year, a local campaign cam-paign will be held, proceeds from which will be used for new and old case treatment of tuberculosis. Mrs. Bertha Pederson. Salt Lake City, field representative of the State Tuberculosis and Health association, was present pres-ent to outline the future program pro-gram of the local association and answer questions. She was accompanied by Mrs. Lille Hancock, Han-cock, secretary of the Salt Lake County association.
