) } TB Association Active To Insure Excellent Health %, FIRE ON-THE-LOOSE -- Firemen from the McHenry Township Fire Protection District are shown in action one recent day when a grass fire spread out of control along Lincoln road. PLAINDEALER PHOTO The McHenry County Tuber­ culosis associationplays a very active role to insure the good health of the residents of Mc­ Henry county. 44 All of our ac­ tivities are directed toward im­ proving and maintaining good health for everyone," said Mr. M. Kendall Bird, president of the association. "Of course, a primary con­ cern to us is the eradication and control of tuberculosis, by far McHenry county's number <Jne infectious disease killer." Mr. Bird went on to say, "As the incidence of TB subsides, we are devoting more and more of our efforts to other respir­ atory diseases." Emphysema, a disease re­ lated to cigarette smoking, that takes more and more lives ev­ ery year - 1,134 in 1968 - is of prime concern to the Mc­ Henry County TB association. Also among the list of respir­ atory diseases that they focus attention on are asthma, chron­ ic bronchitis, influenza, pneu­ monia, pleurisy and hay fever. A great deal of effort is also spent encouraging school chil­ dren and adults not to smoke. The TB-RD association has found that air pollution is also a cause of several of the res­ piratory diseases and they are, therefore, taking an active role towards cleaning up the air. The Christmas Seal agency's activities include health educa­ tion in schools; promoting TB detection programs; funding un­ iversity research grants and in­ forming doctors and nurses a- bout respiratory diseases. Con­ tributions to Christmas Seals also provide programs for cleaner air; asthmatic and em­ physema breathing clinics and smoking education in the schools. These are just a few of the many activities of the McHenry County Tuberculosis associ­ ation. Of course it takes a great deal of money to operate these programs and all funds come from contributions to the an­ nual Christmas Seal campaign, which to date has reached a to­ tal of $20,263.10. The goal for the 1969 campaign is $35,000, which is the amount needed to support these programs. The association is also urging ev­ eryone to increase his contri­ bution this year to make pos­ sible the replacing of the mo­ bile x- ray equipment and trailer which will cost $25,000.
