R-N (Crowded Out Last Week) COMMUNICABLE DISEASES By Monica E. Schumacher Tuberculosis is a communicable communi-cable and therefore unnecessary disease. Tuberculosis .control rests primarily on the prevention preven-tion of the spread of infection. In cooperation with the Utah State Health Department, tuberculosis tu-berculosis skin tests were made on the majority of the students attending Union High School. All those having a positive reaction re-action are to be followed up by having an X-ray of their chest taken. Those students who have not already had their X-rays taken are advised to do so immediately; immed-iately; the Indian students may g-et their X-rays taken by their private physician or at the clinic clin-ic at Ft. Duchesne, any morning, morn-ing, Monday through Friday at 8:00 a.m. Not only those students with recent positive tests, but everyone every-one is urged to have chest X-rays X-rays annually; contacts and suspects sus-pects of tuberculosis should have it done more often. Tuberculosis is not inherited, but because in close contacts such as family life, the spread of infection is greater, and gives the impression that the disease sometimes seems "to run in families." Climate is not and never has been a substitute for hospital care in the 'treatment . of tuberculosis.
